THE SPANISH PRISONERS.
General Otis Has Acted Fully Within His
Powers.

General Otis Has Acted Fully Within His
Powers.
Washington March 14.-General Otis,
in forbidding further negotiations be-
tween Spanish at Manila and the insur-
gents touching the surrender of the
Spanish prisoners held by the latter
acted on his own authority The gov
ernment has not sent him any instruc-
tions upon this point, but it will un-
questionably support him to the ex-
treme in any action of any kind he may
take. 1t is said at the state depart
ment that there have been exchanges
between the United States and Spain
through indirect channels touching
these particular prisoners, dating back
to the signature of the peace protocol
last August. The United States govern
ment undertook finally to secure the
release of the prisoners. 1t never con-
templated to secure their release by
ransom, but simply through the sup
preston of the insurgents and cannot
be held by any requirement of interna-
tional law to do more than has been
done to secure the release of the prison.
ers. There will be no relaxation of the
effects in this direction, but as the
United States campaign in the Philip
pines is being conducted with all the
energy possible and as the release of
the prisoners depends upon the issue of
that campaign, there can be no COM
plant of failure on the part of the
United States to meet its obligations
In preventing the Spanish govern
ment from negotiating direct with the
insurgents, it is thought here General
Otis was undoubtedly correct in his at
titude. 1n-as- s-much as the ratification
of the peace treaty has not been effected
the United States and Spain are tech
nically in state of war; qualified only
by the operation of the protocol sus-
pending hostilities. In this condition
there is no authority on the part of the
Spaniards to negotiate with the insuf-
gents without. explicit consent of the
United States. Under the rules of war
alone there would be still ample war
rant for any action General Otis might
take calculated to prevent the insur-
gents from receiving supplies of food,
clothing, munitions of war or money, for
the latter can always with more or less
difficulty be resolved into the former,
even in the face of a blockade. If the
Spanish minister of foreign affairs feels
called upon to address himself respect
ing this subject to the state depart
ment directly or indirectly he undoubt-
edly would be informed that General
Otis must be sustained. though reas-
sured as to the intentions of the United
States to use all proper efforts to carry
out its undertakings.

SMOKELESS POWDER.
Navy Department Is Ready to Carry Out
the Programme.

Washington, March 1.-THE navy de-
partment is ready to take whatever nee
essary steps in carrying out the pro-
gramme of the naval bill for the pur-
chase of smokeless powder during the
coming year. 1t is not intended to an
tagoniZe the commercial interests in
volved in this line of manufacture by
throwing the whole burden of produc
tion upon the government plants. The
government has plant at Indianhead
which, when completed, will turn out a
maximum product of about 5000 pounds
a day. But this will in no way compete
with the private manufacturers. The
navy has now a powder known to the
profession as pyrocellulose which is
equal to, if not better, than any smoke
less powder used by foreign powers.
Contrary to reports, the new powder
which has been tested by the navy
under service conditions, is not only not
injurious to the guns now in use but has
been SO nicely adjusted to their require
ments that it has increased their ef-
ficiency on an average of 500 second
feet.

Manila, March 10, 5 a. m.-Late yes
terday General Wheaton's column en-
countered the enemy in such force be-
tween Pateros and Taguig as to neces-
state a change in the original plans
The cavalry attacked a rebel strong
hold in the jungle, driving the enemy
into Pateros. The Americans had one
man killed and three wounded

Later the enemy crossed the river
from Pasig. Two companies of the End

tired with three wounded.
In the meantime the Washington vol
unteers closed in, driving small bodies
of the rebels back upon Pateros. One
man was killed
During the night the enemy burned
the town.
12:40 p. m.-General Wheaton's bri-
gade finished the work of cleaning out
the rebels around Pasig.
The Washington volunteers have cap
tured and burned Pateros, meeting
with sharp fire from the enemy,
while crossing the river. To-days fight
ing was like that of the past week, the
insurgents occasionally making a

loss is supposed to have been small, as
the Americans were unable to see the

vance is slow.

The Request of the Spaniards Refused by
General Otis.

General Otis.
Washington, March 14-The atten-
tion of the officials at the war depart

Manila that General Otis has refused
to allow the retiring Spanish troops
to carry arms to the Carolines. 1t was
learned that this refusal was in strict
pursuance of the terms of the protocol.
which governs in the absence of a peace
treaty. Under the technical suspension
of hostilities it could not be permitted
that Spain should change the statu
quo to the act of fortifying and strongly
garrisoning points heretofore unpro-
tected, as was to be the case in the Car
olines. 1t is gathered that General
Otis refusal probably applied rather
to the removal of cannon than to the
small arms of the troops, although these
also may have been included. When
Colonel Rios, the senior Spanish officer

carried the Spanish garrison of the
town directly to the port of Zamboanga

the cannon and munitions of the place
as his ships would carry, and it is
these stores and guns that Rios desires
to take to the Carolines
The officials here are little puzzled
to account for this desire on the part of
Spain to garrison and fortify the Caro-
