LIST OF OUR CASUALTIES.
Washington. Feb. 6-The important
news in Washington to-day was the rati-
fication of the peace treaty and the re-
ceipt of lists of casualties from General
Otis
Prompted by General Otis promise of
last night to send along the list of cas-
ualties at the earliest possible moment,
the friends of the soldiers at Manila.
besieged the War Department to-day by
telegram and in person for some infor-
nation from the scene of battle in the
Philippines. The list was long in com
ing a fact explained 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 tenn
porary commotion by creating the inn
preston that hostilities had been renew
cd by the insurgents. Up to the close
of office hours. however. nothing had
come from General Otis to confirm this
inference, and such cablegrams as did
come from him touched upon other mat
ters entirely, SO it was assumed that
there was no foundation in fact for the
apprehension, and that Admiral Dewey 5
message was a belated one. referring to
the first engagement. When General
Otis casualty lists began to come over
the cables they were somewhat confus-
ing, probably due TO the fact that there
are 10 different lines between Manila
and Washington. The immediate effect
was to cause some errors to be made
great difficulty the officials of the War
Department arranged the previous cas-
ualty lists into the following single list,
which is believed to be substantially
accurate, and was made up rs an Official
substitute list for the prior list:
