How the Situation Is Viewed ut the
White HOuse-MOre Troops for Otis.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Nothing further
has been received by the authorities here
concerning the situation in the Philippines
and it is therefore not known whether a
battle was fought at Iloilo on Dec 80 as
the Associated Press advices indicated. The
situation is irritating in the fact that ac-
cording to the experience of the last few
days it is not to be expected that anything
more can be heard from Iloilo for a day
or two at least, except in the very i'm
probable event that the American forces
have been repulsed in their efforts to make
a landing and have been obliged to return
straight to Manila. 1t is surmised from the
reports that General Miller is proceeding
with more tact and with less roughness in
his dealings with the insurgents than ap-
peared from first inspection of the reports
His purpose apparently was to avoid such a
formal recognition of the insurgents as
might tend to embarrass the United States
government hereafter, but at the same time
not to deal harshly with them if they can
be brought to see the rectitude of his inten-
tions. Therefore, the officials are of the
opinion that there will be no actual hostili-
ties between the forces arrayed against
AGicIdl miller anu MS own, DuL t1at at
the worst the former will retire from the
city without accepting or rejecting the
American overtures until they have heard
from Aguinaldo. General Otis has taken
steps to acquaint General Miller with the
very latest instructions of the President,
and a special messenger is now on his way
from Manila to Iloilo.
Although officials profess strong belief
that M SariOc trouble will 0co,rr tho, I,o,-o
taken the precaution to expedite the dis
patch of military reinforcements to General
Otiss command in the Philippines Orders
have been issued for the Twentieth Regi-
ment of Infantry at Fort Leavenworth to
time its departure so as to be in San Fran
cisco by the 7th inst, in order to embark
on the military transport being fitted out
TO sail for Manila on that date if possible.
The two other infantry regiments which
are under orders to proceed to the Philip
pines by the Pacific route-the Third and
IWenty-second-wil follow as soon as
means of water transportation can be Sc
cured. Three other regiments are also un-
der orders TO proceed 20 Manila by way of
the Mediterranean and Suez canal These
are the Fourth, Twelfth and Seventeenth In
fantry regiments. They will make the trip
on the new transports Mobile and Mohawk,
and unless present plans miscarry they will
embark at New York on the 18th inst

NO HOPE FOR DREYFUS
HE MAY NOT BE BROUGHT BACK TO
FRANCE FOR FEAR OF RIOTS.
Court of Cessation Reported to Have
Waived It's Intention on Represen-
tatiOns from the Government.

PARIS Jan. 2.-The Intransigneant, edited
by Henri Rochefort, a violent opponent of
Dreyfus revision, is responsible for the
statement that the Court of Cessation has
waived it's intention to bring Dreyfus back
on the governments representations of the
danger of lynching and, riots and of the
necessity for a large military force to pro-
tect him.
The recently formed league known as La
Patrie Franchise, headed by Mn. Ferdinand
Brunetiere-Coppeo and Maurice Barres,
with a large following of authors, profess
sors and scientists whose avowed object is
to knit intellectual France into a union for
counteracting the Dreyfus agitation, has
raised fierce press controversy, which
threatens an agitation worse than that
which La Patrie Francaise was intended to
counteract.

Indiana Soldiers Not Arrested.

HAVANA, Jan. at developed to-day
that the company of the Observation-Disclosures
sixty-first Indiana Volunteers which waved
Cuban flags during the parade yesterday
was not arrested as cabled last night In
vestigation showed that the flags were dis
tributed to them by Cubans in the crowd
and that the act Of waving them was
thoughtless and was not prearranged.
Twenty-Five Cuban horsemen, we'll
mounted and armed, joined the column at
the Prado, rode to Central Park and de-
bouched into a side street. They aroused
considerable enthusiasm. Three blue jackets
from the Texas about 10:30 o'clock yesterday
rowed to the wreck of the Maine and hoisted
a large stars and stripes to the peak of the
wreck. The flag was saluted by the shipping
in the harbor. An immense American flag
was also hoisted on top of the two hundred
foot shears at the naval dock, where it
could be seen for miles around. Twenty
members of the patriotic Junto, in evening
dress, and wearing opera hats, stood with
the reviewing generals yesterday.

MADRID, Jan 2.-Senor Sagasta, the
Premier, who has been suffering from an
attack of bronchial pneumonia for some
time past, sat up four hours yesterday and
received, successfully, Lieutenant General
Correat, the minister of war, the president
of the Chamber of Deputies and the prefect
of Madrid. The premier continued the re-
ceptions to-day.
Official circles here are warmly discussing
the attitude of Great Britain, owing to her
pressing demands that Spain sell her a coal
ing station in the Belearic Islands and other
strategical points, so as to render Gibraltar
unassailable. The negotiations on the sub
ject have been in allegiance owing to Pre-
mier Sagasta's illness, but it is believed that
Spain, Influenced by France and Russia, will
resist the demands of Great Britain.

War--Vaius Of Automobiles.

BERLIN, Sept. 1.-THE army ma
neuvers this year are regarded as {
mediocre success, owing to various
| causes, chiefly unfavorabIe weather
| During the four days of sham warfare
in South Germany it rained in tor
rents. For one entire day the opera
lions had TO be suspended and the En-
| peror modified the plan of campaign
| accordingly. The roads part of the
time were simply impassabl and the
| condition of the troops was indescrib-
able, though most of them found shell
ter and the commissariat acquitted it
self eXcellently. The maneuvers end
ed earlier than arranged, because OF
the intended visit of the Car to Pots
dam on Thursday, which was Subse-
quently abandoned. Thus Emperor
William had his preparations for this
important visit for nothing
Aside from these untOward circum-
stances other features aroused serious
criticism of the military value of these
big maneuvers in which three army
corps, numbering 10000 men, partici-
pated. The troops marched we'll, in
fantry covering, in spite of the roads
being often knee-deep in mud. from
twenty to forty kilometers daily But
some Of the commanders made some
egregiOuS blunderS. General Won Fall
ken Hansen, commanding the Thir-
teenth Corps, got separated from the
Fourteenth and the plan of campaign
had to be licked into shape for the fol-
lowing morning.
The Emperor's dashing charge at the
head of two cavalry divisions on
Wednesday was a fine sight. But all
the experts present agreed that such
charge in actual war and under the
same conditions would have led to the
complete humiliation of the whole
cavalry. There was, however, the re-
markable fact that the physical condi-
ton and morale of the troops on both
sides remained in good shape, in spite
Of the weather. Only a few cases of
serious illness were reported.
Experts assert that the new field ar
tillery and automobiles were both
found to be easily transportable. Au-
tOmobiles hencefOrth will be regularly
used in army transportation. Some
made during the night and
over unknown roads from fifty to sew
enty miles without breaking down.
Perhaps the most interesting feature
of the maneuverS was that the Fiji
teenth Corps, mainly recruited in AL
SAGE, fraternized freely with the Thir
teenth and Fourteenth Corps, who
were from other parts of the empire.
The reorganization of the artillery
begins to go into effect October l. By
the reorganization the number Of
field artillery regiments is increased
from forty-eight to ninety-four, the
of the regiments being
reduced while the batteries are in
creased from 494 to 594. The expense
is over S6,O00,00O marks, with $4,000, 900
marks annually in addition. The re-
organization will be fully completed by

Captain Smith forwarded an accept

next steamer orders to report to his

The explanation of Captain Smiths
promotion lies in the fact that the let

War Department day later than the
documents and recommendations ia
vOrable to Smith forwarded from the
