Madison, Jan. 4.
In the month of December there was
only a light snowfall in this vicinity.
According to the records at Washburn
observatory II days of December were
clear and q more or less cloudy. The
prevalent winds were from the south
west. The maximum temperature
was AZ above, o0 Dec. 20, the minimum
Il below on Dec 81. In 1897 Deem
Der was severely cold, in comparison

Washington, Dec. General Otis,
commanding at Manila, has cabled the
war department that in his opinion
Gen. Miller has the situation we'll in
hand at Iloilo and that he fully under
stands the purpose Of the president is
not to crowd the insurgents unduly.
1t is highly desirable that a hostile
collision. between the American forces
and insurgents be avoided at all haz-
ards, at least pending a ratification of
the peace treaty, and as Gen. Miller
understands this purpose on the paTt
Of the president, he will be guided by
it and may be relied upon to resort to
force only under absolute compulsion.
One feature Of Gen. Otis report is
his notice Of the approaching meeting
of the so-called Filipino parliament,
which will be held presumably at NAL
aIos, 20 miles from Manila, on the ISL
and of Luzon, tomorrow. A good deal
of interest is attached to this meeting
as Gen. Otis reports that by the at
tendance the strength of Aguinaldo's
party can be gagged. Gen. Otis feels
that when an attempt is made to con-
yene the parliament it will be found
that Aguinaldo has lost control Of the
majority and cannot command even a
working coalition. Such state of
affairs would tend to make easier the
task of the military authorities of the
United States of establishing peaceful
ly a temporary form Of government
for the Philippines that will command
the support Of the people and receive
the approval of the civilized world
The official news received at Wash
ington regarding the attitude of the
rebels and natives at Iloilo and vicin-
ity is similar in effect to that received
in the press dispatches. The situa-
tiQn, the officials say, shows that the
relations between the Americans and
those with whom they are dealing are
much strained and will require tact
and forbearance on the part of both to
avoid collision. 1t is also said that
the information which has been re-
ceived here does not indicate that
Cen. Miller has landed with the
American troops.
