At WASHINGTON.

Washington, Feb. 6.-The important
news in Washington. today, was the
ratification of the peace treaty and the
receipt of lists of casualties from Gen
Otis. Prompted by Gen. Otis promise
of last night to send along the list OF
causualties at the earliest possible mo-
ment, the friends of the soldiers at Ma
Mia beseiged the war department, to-
day. by kilograms and word OF mouth
for Information from the scene OF the
battle in the Philippines. The list was
long in coming. IA fact explained by the
cutting Of telegraph wires along the
American front which prevented early
reports from the division commanders.
In the meantime came a short cable
gram from Admiral Dewey that caused
some temporary commotion by Great
ing the impression that hostilities had
been renewed by the insurgents. Up
to the close of office hours, however,
nothing had come from Gen. Otis TO
confirm this inference and such cable
grams as did come from him touched
upon other matters entirely. so it was
assumed that there was no foundation
in fact for the apprehension.
When Gen. Otis casualty lists began
to come over the cables. they We're
somewhat confusing. probably due to
the fact that there are 10 different lines
between Manila and Washington. The
immediate effect was to cause some err
rors to be made in the reported list of
killed. After great difficulty the Off
Gals of the war department arranged
the previous casualties into the follow
ing single list which is believed to be
substantially correct:
