WASHINGTON, Feb. 9:-General Otis
notified the war department this morn
ing of the departure of the first Tennes-
see regiment to reinforce Gen. Miller at
Iloilo. The demand for the surrender
of that place will be made by the Amer
lean forces tomorrow. It is expected
that the report of the result of this
movement will be learned here not later
than Monday next.
The Tennesseeans sailed for Iloilo on
the st. Paul. Brigadier General MiIler's
force now consists of battery 6, the
Sixth and Eighteenth regular, infantry
regiments, and half a signal company,
with the Baltimore, Boston and Petrol.
1t is not unlikely that the demand for
the surrender of Iloilo will be refused.
In that event there will in all probabili-
ty be very sharp fight. There are 1000
of the insurgents who are well supplied
with arms--Remingtons and Mausers.
1t is claimed that there are over
5000 men in the city who are armed.
and outside of the city are nearly 10000
Montanes and mixed natives, armed
with knives and spears.

MILES GOES
ON THE RACK
President Appoints Court of Inquiry
to Examine Into the Charges of
Commanding General, Regarding
Meat Furnished During the War.
New YORK, Feb. "a dispatch to

NEW YoRK, Feb. "a dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says:
General Nelson A. Miles will not re-
ceive brevet for his conduct of the
campaign in Porto Rico. This has been
decided upon by the board considering
the rewards to be given to officers and
men who performed acts of courage and
gallantry during the war.
It is asserted by members of the board
that their decision is not due to the feel
ing in administration circles against the
general, but to the fact that there is no
reward, which, under the statutes, can
be given him. He could only be brevet-
ed lieutenant-general, and that Office
docs not exist.
Should congress desire to recognize
the service of Gen. Miles, it can pass a
resolution authorizing the president to
grant him the brevet of lieutenant-gen-
eral. Friends of the major-general may
try to get such measure through con-
gress.
Much comment has been occasioned
in army circles by the failure of the war
department to consult with Gen. Miles
respecting the operations in the Phil
ippines. 1t is stated by officials that
Gen. Otis has the situation fully in hand
and that it is necessary not to hamper
him with instructions of any kind.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The president
has appointed court of inquiry to ex-
anime into the charges touching the
meat furnished during the war with
Spain and other matters involved in the
charges of Gen. Miles against the ad-
ministration of war affairs. The court
will consist of Major-Gen. Wade, Col.
George W. Davis, Ninth infantry, and
Col. Gillespie, corps of engineers.
The court will meet in this city on
February 18th, to investigate the allega-
tions of Miles as to the meat furnished
the army. The court will submit an
opinion upon the merits of the case, and
Miles charges, together with such rec
concentrations of further proceedings as
may be,warranted by the facts devel-
oped in the course ofinquirY.
Miles declined to discuss the appoint
ment of the court.

Empty Titles Lying Arounx Loose.

1.-THE king Of Rome" was the first IT,
tie bestowed on the unfortunate son Of
Napoleon and Marie Louise. After his
fall, his grandfather. the Aus
trian emperor. made him duke Of
Reichstadt. The duke of Reichstadt
was haunted by memories OF the days
when he was king Of Rome. The story
goes that he once said to his grand
father: II remember once that people
called me the king of Rome What
did they mean by that?" The grand
father dryly replied: About as much
as people mean when they hail me as
king of Jerusalem! The latter was
among the empty titles appertaining to
the Hapsburgs, and, perhaps, still be-
longing to them.
