Cen. Otis Admits We May Have To
Fight Filipinos.

Madrid. January t1.-General Rios, the
Spanish commander, cables from Manila,
reiterating the assertion that the situation
Of affairs in the Philippine islands is
most grave The rebels, IL appears are
concentrating in the neighborhood of
Manila with the intention Of attacking
that place and great preparations, be
adds, are being made for the defense Of
Manila.
The Spanish general also asserts that
the natives of the Visayas have again
refused to permit the Americans to land
threatening to resist by force II an at
tempt is made to do so.
The Americans, therefore, according to
General Rios have abandoned the idea
of disembarking and he confirms q previ
Gus statement TO the effect that they are
unwilling to lombard Ilouo. "because
the European houses are stocked with
petroleum with the view of being set fire
TO by the American shells"
General Rios also alleges that the rebels
are determined to fight the Americans
before re Inducements arrive. In con
olusion General Rios says Aguinaldo's
proclamation has produced immense
enthusiasm among the rebels.
