WASHINGTON. February s.-Au that
General Otis had to report to the War
Department to-day related 20 the CASUAL
ties that have occurred so far among tho
American troops as the result OF the ac-
tions since Saturday night. Matters in
Luzon are now in a state of temporary
quiet, apparently. and one OF the officials,
who knows as well as any one what is
going ON, said this evening that ho did
not expect to hear OF important develop
ments in the Philippines for the next
four or five days
Secretary Alger repeated his statement,
made yesterday, TO the effect that he had
sent no instructions to Ceneral otis, and
in answer to an inquiry as to the pro-
jected movement against Ilolo, added
that If General Miller had been ordered
TO make a landing the order must have
been given by General Otis. for 1t had
not been given from the War Department.
The impression prevails that this move-
ment is already under way and 1t would
not be surprising to hear within tho next
two days that it has been executed.
Admiral Dewey was heard from this
morning, to the effect that he had found
it necessary TO clear out all armed in
surgents from a little village which COM
manded the approaches to his naval sta
tion. The action was thoroughly APP
proved at the Navy Department.
