Contrary to Expectations no Fighting Oc-

Manila, Feb. il.-Coutrury to gencr-
nj expectations, all was quiet along
the line sunday, nothing having hap
pcned to disturb the peace OF the Sab
bath In Manila. The inhabitants have
generally recovered from the alarm
occasioned by the fear OF native up
rising and are rcsuming their ordinary
business. The shipping interests are
naturally suffering, since there have
been no clcarances for Philippine ports
for week, but ON the other hand for
eign shipping has increased, especially
for Hongkong, every steamer bound
thither being crowded with timid
refugees.
Last week there was not n single
day without lighting, but the Ameri.
cans steadily advanced, carrying every.
thing before them.
IL Is now known that the Filipino
loss is fully $500 killed, with wounded
vastly Ia access OF that number, and
thousands are held prisoners. All this
has been achieved at the cost Of G5
Americans killed and go wounded.
There were twenty-five Americans UNI
accounted for.

Washington. Feb. u Following Is
Synopsis Of the report Of the war in.
vestigation commission, which has
been made public:
There was lacking In the general ad.
ministration OF the war department
during the continuance Of the war
with Spain, that complete grasp Of the
situation which was essential TO the
highest efficiency and discipline Of the
army.
The commission finds that the in
spector generals department was not
as efficient as IL ought to have been.
The condition Of the railroad conges.
tion during the early portion Of the
time Tampa was occupied by troops
seemed unparalleled, showing almost
ineNcusablc lack OF executive ability
ON the part Of those charged with the
loading, unloading and handling Of
trains.
The transportation provided for the
shafter expedition was insufficient, the
vessels were ovcrcrowd ID. poorly equip.
ped and not loaded systematically.
The army was painfully deficient IN
land transportation.
General Miles was guilty OF dcrcIic.
tion Of duty in falling to report TO the
war department his belief that the re-.
frigcrated beef had been chemically
treated.
The commission Is Of the opinion
that no refrigerated beef furnished by
contractors was subjected or treated
with chemicals by the contractors or
those In their employ.
The nursing force during the
months Of May, June aud July was
neither ample or chicicnt, for which
congress was responsible,
At Camp WikoG there was some
lack Of proper attention to matters OF
sanitation, and to the sick, and with
out doubt eases OF distress, II may DO
neglected, but there was much cNaggcr-
alton Ia what wus written aud said
about Camp WikoG.
