MILD MEASURES AT ILOILO.

There win BE No Open HostIlities
Immediately, If At All.
Washington Jan. lit can be stated
on authority that such news as was re-
ceived yesterday from General Otis was
rather reassuring than otherwise as to
the situation in the Philippines, and
that he made no allusion to a hostile
collision He has been instructed to
use gentleness in dealing with the in
surgents snd to advise and cooperate
with Admiral Dewey. There is some
reason to believe that the present sit
uation may be protracted longer than
would be naturally expected, and that
there will be no open hostilities i'm
mediately, If at all The question has
arisen as to the exact purpose to be
served now in attempting to seize Ilo-
ilo. Originally it was intended to re-
lease the Spanish force besieged, but
by their evacuation of that place they
have removed that incentive, and were
it not for the false encouragement 1t
would give the insurgents there is little
doubt that the United States troops
would not be moved against Iloilo.
Meanwhile sthe navy is expected to
draw a Gordon around the Island of
Panamy and also Luzon should it be
deemed necessary to do so to prevent
the further supply of arms and muni-
tions of war to the insurgents. Prob
ably the gunboats now there or en-
route will be reinforced by the Machias,
the Annapolis and Vicksburg.

set one of the large heaters. There was

hurriedly procured buckets of water and ex-

sounded and all the fire companies responded
but their services were not required. The
