News in Washington.
Washington. Feb. THE important news
in Washington Monday was the ratidca-
ton of the peace treaty and the receipt OF
lists of casualties from Gen. Otis. Prompted
by Gen. Otis promise of Sunday night
to send along the list of casualties at the
earliest possible moment the friends of the
soldiers at Manila besieged the war de-
partment Monday by telegram and word
of mouth for information from the scene
of the battle in the Philippines. The list
was long in coming, a fact explained by
the cutting of the telegraph wires along
the American front, which prevented early
reports from the division commanders
In the meantime came q short cable
gram from Admiral Dewey that caused
some temporary commotion by creating
the impression that hostilities had been re-
newed by the insurgents Up to the close
of Office hours. however, nothing had
come from Gen. Otis to confirm this infer
ence, and such cablegrams as did come
from him touched upon other matters en-
tirely, so II was assumed that there was
no foundation in fact for the apprehen-
sion. Admiral Deweys cablegram was as
follows:
Manila, Feb. 6.-Secretary Navy, Wash
ington: Insurgents have attacked Manila
The Boston leaves to-day for Iloilo to re-
lieve the baltimore. which will return Ia
Manila. Two men wounded yesterday on

Views Vary.
AS to the change In conditions wrough,
by the ratification of the treaty, there is a
variance OF Views, and Adjt Gen. Corbin
and Second Assistant Secretary Adee, OF
ter attention Monday with the Idea of being
able to send full instructions for his future
| guidance to Gen. Otis Immediately
The extreme view on one side is that un.
I'll the Spanish government ratifies. the
| treaty is not of legal effect. According tc
that view, therefore, the United States gov
ernment is estopped from proceeding be-

BY the other extreme view the United
States government is free to do just as 4
pleases in the entire group OF islands. nnt

the military occupancy of the islands
Perhaps there is justification for this las
view in the fact that the Filipinos wer,
Spanish subjects nominally when they
broke the terms of the protocol and there
by released the United States from its OBJ

which is likely to be followed. is that Gen
Otis is justified in doing anything that 4
necessary to protect his army and all Amer
lean and foreign interests In Manila, evei
though this obliged him to assume the of

in pursuit of the insurgents who may b
