THE FUTURE MOVEMENTS OF OTIS

L
Washington, February 6.-The important
| news in Washington today was the ratifca-
tion of the peace treaty and the receipt of
lists of casualties from General Otis.
Prompted by General Otis promise of last
night to send along the list of casualties at
the earliest possible moment the friends of
the soldiers at Manila besieged the war de-
partment today by telegram and word of
| mouth for information from the scene of
the battle in the Philippines The list was
long in coming, fact explained by the cut
| ting of the telegraph wires along the Amer
lean front, which prevented early reports
from the division commanders.
In the meantime came a short cablegram
| from Admiral Dewey that caused some
temporary emotion by creating the impress
sion that hostilities had been renewed by
the insurgents. Up to the close of office
hours. however, nothing had come from
| General Otis to confirm this inference, and
| such cablegrams as did come from him
| touched upon other matters entirely so it
| was assumed that there was no foundation
in fact for the apprehension here.
Accurate List of Dead
When General Otis casualty lists began
to come over the cables they were some
what confusing, probably due to the fact
that there are nineteen different lines be-
| tween Manila and Washington. The imme-
diate effect was to cause some errors to be
made in the reported list of killed. After
great difficulty the officials of the war de-
partment arranged the previous casualty
| lists into the following list, which Is be-
lieved to be substantially accurate, and
| which was made up as an official substitute
| list from the prior lists:
