CAPTURE OF ILOILO
EARLY REPORTS FULLY CON-
FIRMED IN CABLES TO WAR
DEPARTMENT
NOT AN AMERICAN LOST

but Slightly During the Bonn
Fully Protected by Americans,
Making Possibility of Outside In
reference Slight.
WASHINGTON, Feb 1.-THE con-
firmation of the press reports detailing
the capture of Iloilo was received at
the war department today with con-
siderable satisfaction. While no appre-
hersion had been felt as to Gen. Mil
ler's ability to capture the capital of
the Visayan federation, or, for that
matter, anything else that was wanted
In the archipelago, the reports of strong
entertainments that the natives had
been constructing around the town led
the department to fear that the land
ing would be a bloodier affair than
either of the battles of Manila. 1t was
with great satisfaction, therefore, that
Admiral Dewey's dispatch was receiv-
ed, saying that we had lost no men
and the casualties among the natives
were much smaller than at first report
ed. The fact that foreign interests at
Iloilo are being satisfactorily guarded
is another source of qualification to the
administration. This forestalls criti-
cism or danger of interference from any
foreign power, which has all along been
a complication that had to be consid-
cred as a possibility, but which it was
intended to avoid at all costs.
What the future will be, it is scarcely
safe to say The president from the
inception of the Spanish war has been
earnestly in favor of the most humane
policy, and it is not intended to follow
the severe check to the Filipinos with
a war of subjugation if the insurgents
will allow this government to avoid
it. They have had a stern lesson at
Manila and at Iloilo, and if they are
content to profit by it and come peace
ably into camp they may do so without
fear Of further chastisement. Still it is
recognized that Admiral Dewey and
Gen. Otis have a much better grasp of
the local situation than is possible here,
and the administration does not pur-
pose to tie their hands with unneces-
sary instructions.

The captain Of the Weehawlzen cannot
