COST ESTIMATED.
Preliminary Report of Commits
sion on Nicaragua Canal.
THREE FEASIBLE ROUTES SPOKEN OF.
Secretary Morgan, However. Believes
That One Hundred Million wilI
Cover the Entire Expense.

Washington. Copies Of the prelim-
mary report OF the Nicaragua Canal
Commission, Of which Admiral Walker
il chairman, have been furnished TO
Senator Morgan and others interested
in the bill now pending in Congress on
that subject. The commission has
not fully worked out all the details Of
construction Of the proposed canal, but
the report simply presents briefly the
views Of the commissioners as 10 the
feasibility Of the work and the maxi
mum cost at which ii ~ believed the
waterway can be constructed.
Three routes are spoken OF, viz;
The old low level, the high level, or
Menocal route, and an intermediate
route, and all OF these, Senator Nor
gan says, the commission considers
feasible OF construction. For the pur-
pose Of arriving at an estimate Of
probable maximum cost the commits
sion submitted figures on the low level
route, which the Senator says is con-
sidered the longest and most expen-
sive. For this route Admiral Walker
estimated the cost would be 1874, 000,-
900 and Professor Haupt 1928, 900, 900,
while General Haines add I'd 90 per
cent to the figures because OF various
conditions, chiefly the question OF the
cost Of labor, which it was thought
impossible to figure with absolute
definiteness.
The report, says the Senator, shows
conclusively that the project is an en-.
tirely feasible one, and that in lis con.
strnction the Government has the
choice OF any OF these routes. II
shows further, Senator Morgan stated,
the absolute accuracy OF the survey
made by Engineer Menocal some years
ago.
The Senator believes, however, that
all these figures are too high and ex-
presses the opinion that 800, 600, 900 /
will cover the eutire cost Of construc- /
ton. basing the belief on what has
been done in the case OF the Manches-
ter, the Kiel and the Chicago drainage
canals, and on the reduced cost OF ma
terial and labor today, as compared |
with what would have been necessary
in the earlier discussion of the building
Of the proposed waterway.

On this point it says: I'VE have

NO NEWSFROM ILOILO.
General Otis Fearful of MaSsacres
by the FillpInos.
MESSAGE FROM THE COMMANDER.
A EulHaIdo's Men Are Probably In Pos
sessIOn OF All GarrIsons Evacuated
by the Spanish.

New York.-A Sun Washington spe.
cial says: 4 long message in cipher
came TO the War Department from
Major-Geneal Otis at Manila, and haste
was made in translating it on account
OF the belief of the military officials
that it contained an account of the
situation at lloilo. The dispatch
showed, however, that General Otil
had not heard from IlOilO since Brig
adier-General Miller's expedition left
Manila TO occupy the town, which had
been evacuated by the Spanish garri-
son, and the possession assumed by
Aguinaldo's followers of the Island OF
Panay.
4 Sun reporter was told by high
official that the dispatch was import
ant, but as it was made up principally
of expressions OF the opinions OF Gen
eral Otis on the situation, it could not
properly be made public. General
Otis went into detail concerning many
things in the Philippines, telling OF
where matters were satisfactory and
where they were not, and generally
reviewing the situation, with particu-
lar reference to the attitude OF Agui-
naldo.
No additional instructions have been
sent to General Otis concerning the oc-
cupation of Iloilo by FiKpinos, and no
action in that connection will be taken
until General Otis reports the result of
General Miller's arrival there.
General Miller's expedition left Ma
Mia on December Goth, and there has
been ample time for it to reach Iloilo
and one OF the vessels that carried the
troops to return to Manila.
In his dispatch, General Otis SAYS
that there is no danger of trouble in
Manila but he was apprenhensiye in
regard to the situation at Iloilo and
points in the interior of Luzon and
other ISLANDS which bad been evacu-
ated by the Spanish. He said that he
WAS afraid that massacres might occur
at some of these interior points before
the United States troops arrived to
take possession, and showed that he
feared that the insurgent forces at
these places might resist the attempts
OF the American attachments to occupy
them.
In a dispatch received from General
Otis he told of the evacuation by the
Spanish garrisons of all the posts in
the southern part of the islands and
their concentration at the capital of the
island of Mindanao.
1t is for the safety of the inhabitants
OF these abandoned posts that General
Otis is apprehensive. The insurgents
have presumably occupied all the places
abandoned by the Spanish. No United
States troops have been sent to anv
place outside of Manila except Iloil o.
and the present force under General
Otis will probably be kept intact at
Manila while Aguinaldo continues his
attitude.

the report is what is expected there will
be another case for Colombia to set

cans to go to the country and settle.
The trouble arose over little road

NEW GOVERNMENT FOR CUBA.
Cabinet Decides to Establish SeyeraI
Bureaus,

|
Washington. The Cabinet meeting
was not concluded until nearly 3
O'Clock, nearly the entire session be-
ing consumed in discussing matters in
connection with the administration Of
laws III Cuba. 1t was pointed out that
the collection OF the taxes and customs
dues, the administration OF the laws re.
lating to postal matters and the courts
and many other important branches OF
the government OF the island would be
burden too heavy to be borne by the
military government, assisted only by a
small staff, all more or less inexperi.
enced in such matters.
Practically new government had to
be established and it was agreed that
the multitudinous affairs incident To
such an understan ling could be suc-
cesfully administered only by the crea.
ton OF several bureaus at the head az
which would be placed men OF wide
experience in the particular work TO
which they would be assigned, all to be
under the general direction Of the
Military Governor. These matters
were gone over at some length and it
is expected that the several Cabinet
members will take up the details Of
the proposed plan at once as far az
their respective departments are con-
eerned and submit their conclusions 70
