Manila, Feb. 15.-The United States
forces under Brig. Gen. Miller cap
tured Iloilo, capital of the island of
Panay, and seat Of the so-called gov
eminent of the Vasayas federation,
on Saturday last after b~ombardment.
The rebels set the town on fire before
evacuating it, but the American troops
extinguished the flames. There We're
no casualties on the American side.
The United States gunboat Petrol ar
rived late last evening with dispatches
from Brig. Gen. Miller to Maj. Gen.
Otis announcing that 1loilo had been
taken by the combined military and
naval forces on Saturday morning.
Gen. Miller, on the. receipt of his in
structiOns from MANILA sent native
commissioners ashore from the trans
port st. Paul with a communication to
the rebel governor Of Iloilo calling
upon him to surrender within q time
stated, and warming him not to make
8, demonstration in the interval. The
natives Immediately moved their guns
and prepared to defend their position.
Thereupon the Petrol fired two warn
ing guns. The rebels Immediately
opened. fire on her. The Petrol and
Baltimore then Bombardcd the town.
which the rebels, having set on fire,
evacuated. American troops were
promptly landed and eXtinguished the
fires in all cases Of foreign residences,
but not before considerable damage
was. done. It is believed the enemy's
loss during the b~ombardment was
heavy, but no American casualties arc
reported.

Capture OF Iloilo Causes Subtraction
at Washington.
Washington, Feb. 15.-The Associat-
ed Press dispatch announcing the cap
ture by the American troops under
Gen. Miller of Iloilo, on the island Of
Panay, was the first news received in
this city Of the fall of the second
largest city in the Philippines. The
announcement. was promptly CON-
municated to the president at the
White House, and 1t was read with
qualification. Half an hour later the
official intelligence Of the fall of the
city came in q cable dispatch from
Maj. Gen. Otis. which Adjt. Gen.
Corbin promptly authorized to be
made public: -
"Manila, Feb. 13. - Gen. Miller re.
ports from 1loilo that that town was
taken on 18th inst. and held by his
troops. Insurgents given until even
ing Of 18th to surrender, but their hos
tile actions brought on engagement
during morning. Insurgents fired
native portion of town; but little loss
to property Of foreign Inhabitants. No
casualties among the United States
troops reported. Otis"
There is q feeling Of complete salts
faction among such of the American
officials as are aware of this battle, as
considerable apprehension has existed,
not, however, as to the ability. of the
Americans to take the place when
they decided upon this step, but as to
the loss Of life which might occur.
The tension between the opposing
forces ut Iloilo has been for some
time at the danger point. and a col
lision between them at any time would
not have been surprising. It is felt
here that Gen. Miller has conducted
himself with great circumspection in
treating with the natives, as their atti-
tude has been anything but concilia-
tory, and petty annoyances have been
resorted to by them to provoke the
Americans.
