ILOILO HAS FALLEN,
AMERICANS CAPTURE THE CITY
WITHOUT LOSING A MAN.
second City Of the Philippines Easily Cap
tursd By Our Borces--Filipinos Fired
the Town and Evacuated

Manila. Feb. 15.--Iloilo has fallen
The Filipinos have fed from the town,
and the stars and stripes float proudly
over the second city of the Philippines.
The United States gunboat Petrol
has arrived with dispatches from Brig
adier-GenersI NJ p. Miller to Major
General Otis, announcing that Iloilo
had been taken by the combined mill
tary and naval forces Saturday morn
ing.
General Miller, on receipt of his in
structious from Manila, sent native
commissioners ashore from the United
States transport st. Paul, with com
munication for the rebel government
of Iloilo, calling upon him to surrender
within time stated, and warming him
not to make demonstration in the
interval.
The rebels Immediately moved their
guns and prepared to defend their
position. Thereupon the Petel fred
two warning guns, the rebels immedi-
ately opening fire upon her.
The Petrol and the Baltimore then
bombarded the town, which the rebels,
having set 1t on fire, Immediately evac-
uated.
The American troops were promptly
landed and extinguished the fires in
all cases of foreign property, but not
before considerable damage had been
done.
1t Is believed the enemy's loss during
the bombardment was heavy, but no
American casualties are reported.

QUIET SUNDAY IN MANILA.
Contrary to Expectations no Fighting Oc-
CURED ON the Sabbath.

Contrary to Expectations no Fighting Oc-
CURED ON the Sabbath.
Manila, Feb. 14.-Contrary to gener.
al expectations, all was quiet along
the line Sunday, nothing having hap
pened to disturb the peace of the Sab
bath in Manila. The inhabitants have
generally recovered from the alarm
occasioned by the fear of a native up
rising and are resuming their ordinary
business. The shipping interests are
naturally suffering, since there have
been no clearances for Philippine ports
for week, but ON the other hand for
eign shipping has increased, especially
for Hongkong, every steamer bound
thither being crowded with timid
refugees.
Last week there was not single
day without fighting, but the Ameri-
cans steadily advanced carrying every
thing before them.
1t is now known that the Filipino
loss is fully $500 killed, with wounded
vastly In access of that number, and
thousands are held prisoners. All this
has been achieved at the cost of IS
Americans killed and 276 wounded.
There were twenty-five Americans un-
accounted for.

TROUBLE IN SAMOA.
1t Has, According to Washington Diplo-
mats. Assumed y Now Phase.

Washington, Feb. IL. The Samoan
trouble is assuming somewhat new
phase, according to the views of lead
ing diplomatic authorities, and one
likely to bring about an adjustment
on lines not heretofore contemplated.
This is in part foreshadowed in the
official statement of the parliamentary
secretary in the house of commons, to
the effect that further information
would be awaited before considering
the recognition of Mataafa as king of
Samoa.
Mataafa is not the claimant who has
thus far received the support of the
British and American authorities, as
they have upheld Malietoa Tanus, who
had be,si; declared by Chief Justice
Chambers, an American, as rightfully
entitled to the throne.
While the announcement in the
house of commons is open to various
interpretations, yet it seems to show
quite clearly that the recognition of
Mataafa. who was upheld by the Ger
mans, may be taken into consider
alton.

GUNS OPEN ON ILOILO.

0ensrnI OTIS Plan IL to Keep the Insur
gents In Manila and Iloilo ON
the Run II Possible.

Washington, Feb. 12.-Iloilo 10 now
being bombarded by q portion of Ad-
miral Dewey's heet unless the natives
have surrendered on the demand made
by General Miller, who is in command
there.
General Otis advised Secretary Alger
that he had sent the First Tennessee
infantry to reinforce General Miller
and the commanding officer Of that
organization carried instructions to
him to demand the evacuation of Iloilo
by Q o'clock Friday morning.
If this demand was not complied
with Immediately the instructions were
to begin the bombardment of Iloilo
and continue it until the rebels ran up
the white flag
The navy will, of course, cooperate
with the army, which will simplify to
a considerable degree the work now
laid out for the two branches Of the
service and it will cover the landing
of the troops.
The Boston, Baltimore and Petrol
are now at Iloilo and if the rebels are
indiscreet enough to refuse to lay
down their arms the heavy guns OF
those ships will be turned on them and
followed up by the troops who have
been lying in the harbor for sometime
past.
In view of the success which attend
ed the action of the American forces at
Manila last Saturday and Sunday,
General Otis desired to reduce Iloilo at
once and have the unpleasant duty
over.
Army officers here say he is pursu-
ing the proper course in following up
his victory at the beginning of the
week to keep the insurgents in Ma
Mia and Iliolo on the run and in this
way drive all thoughts of renewing
the conflict from their heads.

ADRIFT ON ICE FLOEs.
Sixteen Skaters Carried Out Into Lake
Michigan.


Michigan.
Chicago. Feb. 14.-Sixteen skaters,
living in the suburbs of Rogers park
and Lake Forest, were carried out into
Lake Michigan on ice foes Sunday.
Ten of them were rescued, and during
the entire evening searching parties
made fruitless efforts to secure some
trace of the missing six.
All of those who were rescued were
carried out on the ice off Lake Forest,
and two of the number who ventured
on the frozen lake there are supposed
to have been drowned. The remaining
three of the sixteen were carried away
on foe off Rogers park, and the Chi
cage life-saving crew spent the night in
searching for them. Most of the res
cued were students at Lake Forest
academy.

UNPAID. UNIFIED AND WEARY.
The Fiiipinos are Becoming Disillusioned

London, Feb. 15.-Reuter's Telegram
company, limited, has received the fol-
lowing dispatch from Manila, dated
Feb. 10, 3:45 p. M: After the capture
OF Caloocan, a Spaniard who had been
prisoner there came to the Americans
holding up his hands, and said that
the Filipinos had offered to release the
Spaniards, especially the artillerymen,
II they would undertake to fight
against the Americans at 81 day.
Most OF the Spaniards refused, and
even those who accepted the offer did
80 in the hope of effecting an escape.
The rebels, according to this inform
ant, are discontented, unpaid, unfed
and thoroughly disillusionized, the
talismanic waters being of no avail
against wounds, hunger and fatigue.
On Friday Aguinaldo visited Polo,
few miles northwest of Caloocan, and
addressed the Filipino troops there,
claiming that he had won victory,
and asserting that 1900 Americans
had been killed.

WHAT THE COMMISSION FOUND.


Many Onensss, But no Onenders Except
Niles and HIS Surgeon.
Warrington, Feb. 14.-Following il
. Synopsis Of the report of the war in
vestigation commission, which has
been made public:
There was lacking in the general ad-
ministration of the war department
during the continuance of the war
with Spain, that complete grasp of the
situation which was essential to the
highest efficiency and discipline of the
army.
The commission finds that the in
spector generals department was not
as efficient as it ought to have been.
The condition of the railroad conges-
ton during the early portion of the
time Tampa was occupied by troops
seemed unparalleled, showing almost
inexcusable lack of executive ability
on the part of those charged with the
loading. unloading and handling of
trains.
The transportation provided for the
Shafter expedition was insufficient, the
vessels were oyercrowded, poorly equip
ped and not loaded Systematically.
The army was painfully deficient in
land transportation.
General Miles was guilty of derelic-
ton of duty in failing to report to the
war department his belief that the re-
frigerated beef had been chemically
treated.
The commission is of the opinion
that no refrigerated beef furnished by
contractors was subjected or treated
with chemicals by the contractors or
those in their employ.
The nursing force during the
months of May, June and July was
neither ample or efficient, for which
congress was responsible.
At Camp Wikoff there was some
lack of proper attention to matters OF
sanitation, and to the sick, and with
out doubt cases of distress, it may be
neglected, but there was much exagger-
alton in what was written and said
about Camp Wikotf.

London, Feb. 15.-A An interesting
question pertaining to insurance in
time Of war came before the court Of
queens bench when the owners of the
steamer Restormel, coal laden for the
Spaniards in Cuba, and which was cap
tured by the United States auxiliary
cruiser st. Paul as she was attempting
to enter the harbor at Santiago, sought
to recover 1900 of insurance. The
company defendants claimed that the
Restormels adventure was illegal, and
the fact that she was engaged In an
attempt to supply coal to the Spanish
navy was suppressed at the time the
insurance was taken out.

Penn's Grove, N. j., Feb. 15.-At the
big powder works of the Duponts, at
Carneys Point, interesting experiments
in smokeless powder ARE being made
by experts in the employ Of the gov
eminent One of the difficulties that
has attended the manufacture so far is
that the powder is not wholly smoke
less, and that it apparently loses
strength through storage. The ex-

covery that cotton could not be ground
fine enough to bring about the best
results and that the powdered pith

results.
