WASHINGTON. Dec. :}1.-The war in

Lack of News From, IloilO Is at Least
Irritating.
WASHINGTON, Jan 3.-Nothing more
has been heard at the war department.
from General Otis at Manila since his
telegram of Sunday was received The
situation is irritating from the fact that,
according to the experience of the last
few days, it is not expected that any
thing more can be heard from noilo for
. day or two at least, except in the very
improbable event that the American
force has been repulsed in their efforts
to make landing, and has been obliged
to return straight to Manila. 1t is sur
missed, from the reports, that Gen.
eral Miller is proceeding with more tact
and with less roughness in his dealings
with the insurgents, than appeared from
. first inspection Of the reports. His
purpose apparently was to avoid such a
formal recognition Of the insurgents as
might tend to embarrass the United
States government hereafter, but at the
same timenot to deal harshly with them
if they can be brought to see tho recti-
tude Of his intentions. Therefore the
officials are of the opinion that there
will be no actual hostilities between the
forces arrayed against General Otis and
his own, but that at the worst, the for
mer will retire from the city without
accepting Or rejecting the American
evertures until they have heard from
Aguinaldo. General Otis has taken
steps to acquaint Gen. Miller with the
very latest instructions of the President,
and special messenger is now on his
way from Manila to Iloilo.

Much Damage Being Done by the High

Maryville, Mo-, May s2.-The 1902
river is farther ont of its banks as a
result OF the recent heavy rains than it
has been before this spring. 1t began
to rise rapidly Saturday evening and
yesterday covered the entire bottom.
The country through which it runs is
thickly settled and many hundreds of
hogs and chickens have been drowned
and fences and fields washed out.
The Kansas City, st. Joseph & Coun-
Gil Bluffs and Kansas City, Pittsburg &
Gulf railway have several washouts,
but none so bad yet as to prevent the
passage of the regular trains, although
several have been delayed. The Noda-
way and Platte rivers, the former in
the western and the latter in the east
ern part of the county, are also out of
their banks and are accomplishing
some damage. The 1902 was said to be
falling slightly yesterday evening.

enough to send him reeling off the side

This started fuss. The first bullet
struck Woods in the right shoulder and
the second entered his left leg, bring
