with Him.

New York, Dee. lS.A special from
Washington says:
General Otis has now in custody many
important persons who were connected
with the so-called Filipino government,
but no decision as to their future dis
position has been reached by the presi
dent.
y member of the cabinet says that the
time has not yet come when the tate OF
these men could be determined. 1t is pro.
posed to treat them humanely and with
consideration, and it is believed such
policy will lead other Filpinos to sur.
render. Any Filipino caught directly in
unprovoked murder on lootng will be
summaIily dealt with.
1t was reported this afternoon that Gen
eral OTIS had sent to Secretary Root
communication from prominent Filipinos
which was read at the cabinet meeting to-
day saying there was no organized IN
surgent force and that the army had been
broken up into small bands plundcring
and numbering combatants, and sug-
gesting the employment OF natives in gar
rsoning towns. 1t is said at the war de
partment that the quota OF troops allowed
by law is complete and no additional ma
tives can be enlisted. General Otis will
soon have an ample number of men to do
garrison duty, and it is to the interest OF
this government to have Americans rather
than Filipinos garrison the country ion
the present.
