Situation at All tho Important Points is
Satisfactory.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-The war de-
partment has received the following
from General Otis, at Manila:
General Miller reports on the 10th
that the insurgent forces, a few miles
out from Iloilo. are believed to be dis
migrating. He can maintain his posi-
ton with his present force. Business
in the city is being resumed. He sent
up four representative men to the cap
ital of the island of Negroes, where the
American flag was raised and Ameri-
can protection requested from the me-
mace of the small insurgent force on
the island. Affairs there and in Cebu
are very encouraging. 1 shall endeav-
or to maintain and improve tho
present promising conditions. Affairs
here are quiet. A small insur-
gent force east of the city was driven
away with considerable loss to the
enemy"

MANILA, Feb. 21.-It is reported that
Aguinaldo has outlawed Agoncillo for
advising the attack on Manila in order
to influence the vote on the ratification
of the peace treaty. Agoncillo's tele.
graphic advice to the insurgent leader
was known in Washington before the
battle. Rear Admiral Dewey had been
warned that the rebels had been maxi
ing desperate attempts to procure ad'
ditional arms and ammunition in Hong
Kong.

ANXIETY FOR TROOPS.
War Department No Longer ConcealA
Anxiety for Health OF Troops.

Anxiety for Health Of Troops.
, WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.--The war de-
partment authorities no longer at
Tempt to disguise the anxiety they feel
for the health of the troops in the
Philippines and in Cuba. The great
dread arises from the climatic condi-
tons. The dispatches from the Phil
ippines during the last few days have
shown the troops are suffering greatly
from the heat, and that tha natural
physical vigor of American soldiers
may be sadly crippled, if not entirely
nullifed, by the high temperature of
the tropical stations. In Cuba the
condition continues so nenacing army
surgeons have renewed their recon-
mendations that troops be largely re-
called from the section. This, of
course, cannot be done, in view of the
aspect and the disorders that have
been threatened with every public in
cident. The regulars are now 1864
in numerical strength, and they may
be kept there, although some of Sec
rotary Alger's advisers are in favor of
bringing most of them home. They
are not quartered comfortably, FOR, in
all respects, healthfully, from the sur
geon's standpoint Everything has
been done to make the Cuban camps
and garrisons habitable, but there re-
mains great deal yet to be done in
the same line. 1t is understood that
Surgeon Greenleaf. who was on Gen.
eral Miles's staff during the war, and
who is now in Cuba on an inspection
tour, is anxious the troops be with
drawn, or, if that be impossible, that
they be removed to camps where they
will be more exempt from fevers than
where they are now.
