NOTHING NEW FROM OTIS.
Gossip Concerning the Alleged Meeting OF
an American aud Insurgen Com
mittee Near Manila,

Washington, Jan. LIT was said
1T the war department that absolutely
nothing had been heard over night
from Gen. Otis at Manila, touching the
state of affairs there. When inquiry
was made relative to a report that
there had been a meeting, Tuesday.
near Manila, of a committee selected
jointly by Gen. Otis and Aguinaldo, it
was pointed out that under the large
discretionary authority conferred up
on him by the department, and in con-
formity with the presidents express
instructions to exhaust all peaceful
means of adjusting the difficulty with
the insurgents, Gen. Otis had full au-
thority to adopt such methods with
out asking express permission from
the department. His course is thor
oughly approved by the president up
TO this point.
a rather interesting question is
raised by the meeting of this commit
tee, as to whether it does or does not
constitute a recognition of the insur-
gents, but the general opinion is that
II does not, the matter being one of
purely internal concern, with which
no foreign nation has a right to inter-
fere. Meanwhile the meeting of the
committee has served at least to avert
the crisis which seemed impending In
the Philippines. and there is now fair
grounds for the supposition that the
statu quo will be maintained. at least
until the ratification of the pending
peace treaty.
