THE SITUATION AT ILoILo.
Definite News Expected Within Twenty.
Four Hours-No Apprehension Felt
az to the Outcome.

Washington, Dec. 29.-The war de.
partment is expecting definite word
from Gen. Otis within the next "a
hours as to what has occurred at Iollso.
BY that time Gen. Otis will have heard
from Gen. Miller, in command of the
American force sent on this expedi-
ton.
The officials about the war depert-
ment do not appear to be apprehensive
over the results, and there is no evil
dence of tension or alarm, although it
is recognized that the situation at
Iloilo is one which may bring about
sharp and possibly decisive issue be-
tween the insurgents and the United
States forces.
Up to the close of Office hours to-
day it was said at the war department
that nothing had been received from
Gen. Otis bearing on the military situ-
alton. All that had come was a re-
sponse to an earlier dispatch convey
ing orders, the reply giving assurance
that definite news could be conveyed
within the next "a hours.
What Gen. Miller will do as to TAX
ing possession of the city either with
force or without, is not officially dis
closed, and, indeed, it is probable con-
siderable discretion is lodged with the
commander as to what steps should
be taken. But in the event of a clash
between the United States forces and
the insurgents, war department of
ficials say there could be no doubt as
to the outcome, as the Seventeenth in
fantry are among the regulars having
reputation for their fighting ability
The American forces number about

not include number of persons who

the library has been drawn upon

was designed to benefit.

SEWERS.

The city has not yet received
the bids for sewer construction so
as to know the exact cost of Sys-
TEN. That the city needs proper
sewerage no one will seriously
question. How extensive a sys-
tenn shall be inaugurated this year
is practical question to be SRI
ously considered. That parts of
Main and Thirds streets should be
included admits of no controversy.
These streets-Main from the cor
ner of Fourth, northward, and
Third from the corner of Oak,
eastward, constitute a system by
itself. Both points are SUBMITS OF
the same system, which is plated
north to Second, thence to Pine
and on Pine to the river. There
is a strong feeling that this is
the only line which it would be
advisable to construct this year
The city will be to the expense o.
grading the streets properly, a ie
the property owners will pay TO
the sewer. The expense will no
be burdensome, for the cost viii
be less than fifty cents foot. ane
may be divided into ten annua
instalIments to be collected will
