From Dewey Creates Some Tempo
rary COmmOtiOn.-The Situation
VIII be Left Largely to Gen. Otis
Judgment.
Washington, Feb 6.-The important news
in Washington to-day was the ratification
of the peace treaty and the receipt of lists
of casualties from Gen. Otis.
Prompted by Gen. OTIS promise of last
night to send along the list of casualties
at the earliest possible moment. the friends
of the soldiers at Manila 5esieged the war
department to-day by telegram and word
of mouth for information from the scene
of the battle in the Philippines.
The list was long in coming a fact ex-
planned by the cutting of the telegraph
wires along the American front, which
prevented early reports from the division
commanders.
In the meantime came a short cablegram
from Admiral Dewey that caused some
temporary commotion by creating the i'm
preston that hostlitles had been renewed
by the insurgents. Up to the close of office
hours however, nothing had come from
Gen. 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, and that Ad
miral Dewey's message was a belated one,
referring to the first engagement.
The List of Casualties.
When Gen. Otis casualty lists began to
come over the cables they were somewhat
confusing, probably due to the fact that
there are nineteen different lines between
Manila and Washington, The immediate
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 single list, which Is
believed to be substantially accurate, and
was made up as an official substitute list
for the prior list

Variety of Views.

by the ratification of the treaty to-day.
there is q variance of views. and Adjt.
Gen. Corbin and Second Assistant Secre-
tary Adee Of the state department. were
giving the matter attention to-day with
the idea of being able TO send fun inslrue-
tlons for his future guidance to Gen. Otis
Immediately.
The extreme view on one side Is that
until the Spanish government ratifies the
