debate on the sundry civil bill yester-

extravagant appropriations and prac-

lengthy discussion, took Issue with Mr..
Cannon, but he maintained that our

stream. Fully 1000 soldiers, armed
with Remingtons and Mausers, have
taken possession of tie church and
government buildings. Officers are

an apparently stout resistance Is being

armed with knives and spears. They
are anxious to be allowed in the city.

THE WAR IN BOLIVIA.
An Incident That May Precipitaue n
Conflict With Peru,

Lima, via Galveston, Feb. 10.-Ac-
cording to advices just received here
from the seat of hostilities in Bolivia,
President Alonzo, during the recent
siege of La Paz, the nominal capital,
shot five of the leading federalists, or
insurgents. On his return to Oruro,
south of La Paz, which has been his
headquarters during the war, he had
only 1900 troops. not half the number
with which he laid siege to the capital,
many having deserted to the revolu-
tionary movement.
Well authenticated reports have been
received of the horrible deeds commit
ted by the Indians in the county be-
tween Corocoro, north of Oruro, and
the latter city. A thousand Indians re-
Gently surrounded the Corocoro mining
works, which is the property of Chill
ians, and sacked all the houses. The
manager of the works, his wife and an
official tried to make their escape. On
the refusal of the Indians to accept
their offer of $1,000 to spare their lives
the manager shot his wife and the Of
fetal and then committed suicide. The
incident Is likely to cause difficulty be-
tween the Bolivian and Chlian govern
ments.

GEN. OTIS NEXT MOVE.
he Has Probably Ordered the Cap
ture of Iloilo.
INSURGENTS DESTROY A TOWN.

They Wore Ordered by Admiral Dewey
to Evacuate San Rogue. But Before
Doing So Started Fires in Several
Places, Leaving the Huts Burning.
Washington, Feb. 10.--All that Gen.
eral Otis had to report to the war de-
partment yesterday related to the
casualties that have occurred SO far
among the American troops as the re-
suit Of the actions since Saturday
night. Matters in LuZon are now In u
state of temporary quiet, apparently.
and one of the officials who knows as
well as any one what Is going on said
that he did not expect to hear of I'M
portant developments in the Philip
pines for the next four or five days.
Secretary Alger repeated his statement
to the effect that he had sent no in
structions to General Otis, and in
answer to an inquiry as to the pro-
jected movement towards landing at
Iloilo added that If General Miller had
been ordered to make landing the
order must have been given by Cen
eral Ctls, for 1t had not gone from the
war department. The impression pre-
walls, however, that this movement Is
already under way, and it would not be
surprising to hear within the next two
days that 1t had been executed.
Statements contained in the press re-
ports from Manila convince the Of
ficials here that General Otis at last
has authorized landing. The best in
dcation Of that determination was the
dispatch from Manila of the First regi-
ment of Tennessee volunteer infantry
for Iloilo So long as the massing of
Insurgents around Manila appeared to
convey serious threat against its
safety. General Otis felt bound not to
weaken his forces by sending any ad-
ditional troops to llolo. but now that
he has the insurgents demoralized he
can proceed to carry out his plan for
the occupation Of the principal city in
the Philippine group next to Manila.
This movement might have been
made some time ago, but for the neces-
sity the commanding general was un-

regiment from Hello. These troops had
been on their transport SO long that
they were really unfit for active ser d.

of stretching themselves ashore for
few days. The last time they had been
ashore was at Honolulu, Ell route from
Ban Francisco for Manila. From Hon
olulu they went to Manila harbor, but
