COMMENT At TEE DEPARTMENT.
Utmost Confidence in the Ability of
Cen. Otis 10 HnmdIc the Situation.


Some War Department officials say they
are much gratided at me conditions exist
irg in Manila and the Philippines. 1t is
argued from the dispatch received from
Gen. Otis this morning that there is little
left of the army of Aguinaldo and that his
troops do mol want TO face the American
soldiers II IS supposed that scouting par
ties Of Gen. OTIS army have been moving
about from different points on the railroad
line, and more especially from MaIoIos. and
have encountered small bands of natives
who retire upon the first approach of the
American troops. While the officials here
would be glad to have details of the pro-
posed campaign of Gen. Otis they are at
present without information. and he has
not been asked 10 communicate his plans 10
the department. The utmost confidence is
expressed in his ability to handle the sit
uatton, and. il is said, no attempt will he
made 10 influence him from Washington
In view of what the department regards as
a successful campaign. a campaien which
mas apparently resulted in the destruction
OF the main army of the rebels. leaving
only a feH marauding bands In the field il
- not considered il would be prudent or
wise 10 inte-f re in Gen. Otis plans.
II IS belie"ed that Gen. Otis desires to
ASCERTAIN just where the forces of the in
surgents are located and in what number
IL Is thought very probable that in the ad
vance that has been made from Manila to
MaloIos the Insurgents have not all retreat
e. along the railroad track. but some have
gone on into the rough country to the right
OF the railroad, and may now he living in
wait TO set upon small bodies CT American
troops or perhaps again destroy some of
the bridges on the railroad and for - t,r,a
stop the advance of the American army,
from Manila Gen. Otis experienced sol
dier as he Is, will take measures to rreva,,t
anything of the kind. and will no douh,
ascertain where the detached bands Of i'm
surSents are and in what number before
making further advance in pursui, of
Aguinaldo and his fleeing army II Is ev-
ident that while Gen. Otis reports evcr,-
thing "aii quiet" he has had a part of his
army active in reconnoitering the country
| along the line of railroad, by which be has
been advancing.
Return of the Dead Soldiers.
Adjutant General Corbin yesterday cahia.1
Gen. Otis saying that the Secretary of war
desired. IL possible, that the dead of the re-
cent campaign be returned to the Unirad
States on the early transports and asked
the opinion of Gen. Otis on the subject
Gen OTIS cabled this morning that :.
would be impossible to send the bodies
home now. The climatic conditions are
such as to make it dangerous to the health
of the people who would handle the bodies
He was OF the opinion that six months later
the remains of the dead can be returned 10
the United States. 1t would be unsafe, he
said. To send the bodies home on the ships
