Secretary Alger was at the White
House with the president when the
dispatch was received from General
Otis giving list of casualties at the
Manila engagements Sunday. The sec
retary said that he did not interpret
Admiral Dewey's dispatch, received in
the morning, as showing that the fight
ing is now in progress. He thought
it was filed early in the engagement
and had been delayed in transmission.
If the battle had been in progress when
General Otis filed his casualty dis
patches he felt sure he would have
mentioned the fact. Mr.. Alger said
further that, contrary to the state
ments made in some Of the newspapers,
he had not sent General Otis word
of instruction as to what he should do.
"He is on the ground" said the sec
retary, "and it would be folly for us
here to undertake to direct his move
ments. Many battles have been lost
by such unwise interference, and we
shall leave the matter to his and Ad-
miral Dewey's judgment"

ties unless the Americans violated their
agreement by forcing the Filipino
lines"
