Washington, Feb. 10 All that Gen. Otis had to report to the war department yesterday related to the casualties that have occurred so far among the American troops as the result of the actions since Saturday night. Matters in Luzon are now in a state of temporary quiet appar- ently and one of 4he officials who knows as well as any one what is going on, said this evening that he did not expect to hear of important development in the Philippines for the next four or five days.
 Secretary Alger repeated his sta tement made Wednesday that he had sent no instructions to Gen. Otis and in answer to an inquiry as tothe projected movement towards a landing 8 IloiIo. added that if Gen. Miller had been ordered to make a landing the order must have been given by Gen. Otis, for it had not gone from the war department. The impression prevails, however, that this moyementl Is already under way and it would not be surprising to hear within the next two days that it had been executed.
 Admiral Dewey was heard from yesterday to the effect that he had found it necessary to clear out all armed insurgents at little village which commanded the land ap- breaches to his naval station at CaYite The action was thoroughly approved alt the navy department.

DIVIDEND MILLIONS.
The July Disbursement Period
s... Began on Saturday.

New York, July 3.--Last Sat.
urday began what Wall street
calls the July disbursement De.
riod." 1t generally lasts about a
week. This year during that time
nearly $12O,OOO,OOO will be paid
In this city alone in dividends on
stocks and bonds of railroads and
industrial companies. The total
disbursements throughout the
country are estimated at $780,
600, 900, the largest in the history
of the United States.
January and July are the great
months for distributing earnings
of corporations, either in quar-.
terly or seml-annual dividends.
The January payments, however,
are generally the heavier, as that
is favorite time for maturing
bonds. The disbursements last
January were approximately
$lOO,OOO,000, which was larger
sum than Is ususlly paid out.
The increase in the amount of
this months disbursements is due
to several causes, the most I'M
portant being the number of cor
poratians that in July will for the
first time in their history pay a
dividend. At least a dozen indus
trial companies Incorporated in
the past eight moutns have au-
thorIzed payments OF thier pay
ments on their preferred shares.

companies ranged from $IO,OOO,-
