Gen. Miller to Move Upon This Place

Gen. Miller to Move Upon This Place
at Once.
Washington, Feb. 9.-Probably with
in 4S hours Gen. Miller will have begun
the attempt to occupy I!oilo on the
island of Panay. No specific orders
on this score have been sent to him
since the battle of Saturday and Sun
day, nor has he been heard from re
gently respecting the matter, but it
was his known intention to make this
important movement as soon as he felt
that conditions warranted it, and state
ments contained in the press reports
from Manila convince the officials here
that Gen. Otis at last has authorized
the landing.
The best indication Of that determin-
alton was the dispatch Thursday morn
ing from Manila of the First regiment
ofTennessee volunteer infantry for Ilo-
lilo. So long as the massing of insur-
gents around Manila appeared to con-
veg a serious threat against its safety
Gen. Otis felt bound not to weaken his
forces by sending any additional
troops to Ioilo, but now that he has the
Insurgents demoralized he can proceed
to carry out his plan for the occupation
Of the principal city in the Philippine
group next to Manila. This movement
might have been made some time ago,
but for the necessity the commanding
general was under of Withdrawing the
Fifty first Iowa regiment from before
Iloilo. These troops had been on their
transport SO long that they were really
unfit for active service until they had
had an opportunity of stretching them
selves ashore for a few days. The last
time they had been ashore was at Hon
oiulu, en- route from San Francisco fol
Manila. From Honolulu they went te
Manila harbor, but were not landed, be
ing turned about at once and sent te
yoilo harbor. There the insurgents
sent out word that they would not bt
allowed to land, and ever since, until +;
week ago, they have been lying aboare
ship in sight of land and thorough.
weary of the ship. Now, however, the.
are once again ON shore at Manila
