Washington, Feb 9.-All that Gen.
Otis had to report to the war depart,
ment to-day related to the casualties
that have occurred so far among the
American troops as the result of the
actions since Saturday night. Matters
in Luzon are now in state of tenn
porary quiet apparently. and one of tie
officials who knows as we'll as anyone
what is going eu said this afternoon
that be did not expect to hear of import
ant developments in the Philippines for
the next four or 6ge days. Secretary
Alger repeated bis statement made
yesterday to the effect that he had sept
no Instructions to Gen. Otis, and 10

movement towards landing at Iioilo.
added that if Gen. Nliller had been
ordered to make landing the order
must have been given by Geu. Otis, for

ever. that this movement is already
under way, and it would nos be surpris

that it had been executed. Admiral
Dewey was heard from this morning TO

to clear ous all armed insurgents st a

and others claim that several more
had received that ordinance and some
OF them were ordained. but they think
that this conflicts with the statement
that the Church was organized on that
date with six members.
The explanation Is simple. Six per-
sons were necessary. under the laws OF
the State OF New York. TO form the
corporate body OF the Church orsanlza-
ton. Six persons subscribed their
names to the legal document that had
to DO hlcd. But several others had
been baptized previous to the date OF
the ecclesiastical organization. as may
be seen from Church history. and some
OF them were called and ordained 10 the
Priesthood. after Joseph and oliver
had been accepted as leading Elders
Of the church. We hope this will set.
tie the disputes.
Another question propounded from
the same quarter Is:
can the negro race receive the Holy
Ghost7
That may appear very simple to dis
cuss. but Il eeems that some OF the In
qulrers think that negroes may be
baptized In water but not by the Holy
Spirit. However. strange TO say, they
argue that such persons may be con-

hands. but the Holy Ghost must not be
scaled upon them. and even quote
what they allege they heard President
Young say to that effect.
The answer u. certainly, The negro
race may be baptized and confirmed.

The difficulty has arisen from a mis-
