TO OCCUPY 1LOILo.
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 Iloilo 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 Iloilo, 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
amight have been made some time ago
tut for the necessity the commanding
general was under of withdrawing the
Fifty-first Iowa regiment from before
Iloilo. These troops had been on theil
transport SO long that they were really
unfit for active service until they had
had an opportunity of stretching them
selves ashore for few days. The las
time they had been ashore was at Hon
oiulu, en- route from San Francisco fol
Manila. From Honolulu they went tt
Manila harbor, but were not landed, be
ing turned about at once and sent t.
yloilo harbor.. There the insurgent
sent out word that they would not b.
allowed to land, and ever since, until
week ago, they have been lying aboar'
ship in sight of land and thorough.
weary of the ship. Now, however, the.

ciently under control to permit of a search
of the ruins. Then ii was that the bodies
of two of the st. John children were found.
They We're carried down and placed by the
side of their mother and little brother.
Soon afterward l.. c. Bruce. who is mar
ried to a niece of Mr.. Andrews, arrived. He
identified the bodies. He said Mrs. Andrews
came from Wiloughby suburb of Cleve-
land. Ohio. Mr.. St John was in Whining
ton, Del, with some friends.
Mr.. Andrews was in Albany yesterday
and returned home only last night Mr..
Borden, a brother-n-law of Mr.. St. John,

trip to Hot Springs. Ark, and were to have
started tonight. George j. Gould was not
IN his home at the time of the fire.
Rumors of Incendiarism.
Rumors that the fire was of incendiary
origin were investigated during the day
and found to have their basis in the fact
that there was a quarrel among the serv-
ants in Mr. Andrews country home last
summer, resulting in the discharge of one
of the servants. One of the domestics re-
Ceived :-nonymous letter last week, which
she showed to the police, but it contained
no threats and was dismissed as being
trivial matter.

ALMOST A PANIC IN STOCKS
Big Break in the High Prices of Last
Week.
The Industrials Were Objects of Bear
Attack-Standard Shares
Also Suffered.

NEW YORK, April 1.-The scene on the
stock exchange floor this morning was one
of wild confusion. Brokers unable to Sc
cure further margins on many properties
We're Obliged to sacrifice them to protect
themselves. The volume of business was
tremendous, and the selling movement OBJ
tanned more momentum as time progressed.
The manifest Indifference of what is
termed inside interest to secure the course
of their specialties aroused apprehension of
holders of the numerous industrial securi-
ties which have been quoted of late. Con-
sequently the declines were most serious in
properties of this class, and an additional
incentive to the selling was produced hy
the conservative attitude which the banks
had taken toward this collateral.
In Disfavor with Bankers.
The loan market has reflected the dis
favor with which this class of securities
are viewed by banking interests, quotations
OF the past few days showing stringency
and being anywhere from . to ) points
above the figures asked for advances On
standard railway stocks.
The market was in panicky condition.
During the course of the one and half
hours trading such declines IS the follow
ing occurred: Brooklyn Transit, It; To-
EaccO ana All Brake, 10 edcD, Feder3l

Railways Follow in the Decline.
The railways after an early show of
strength broke violently in sympathy with
specialties the high-class stocks losing over
3 points, with New York Central excep-
tiCnal, which went down 3.
The failure of the firm Of Dimock G. Co.
was announced on the stock exchange to-
day. One of the firm said the assignment
was not due to the present market, but to
old complications, account of which ii
was thought best to close. The firm was
founded in 1S!l5, and was composed of j. A.
DimOck and 4. W. +. SWinton.
Some Losses Regained.
The selling movement spent Its force
about midday, and the market lapsed into
Gullness There was quiet buying of vari-
Gus shares, which combined to raise the

stances equally as sensational as the earlier
slumps. metropolitan, Sugar Manhattan

His Duties Mt Manila Preclude His
Participation i'm the Peace Jubilee.

Secretary Long Informed Star reporter
today that the delicate and important du-
ties devOlving upon Admiral George Dewey,
in connection with the restoration of peace
and the reorganization OF The government
in the Philippines. preclude a compliance
with the request of the Business Mems AS
sociation of Washington locking to his par
ticipation in the proposed peace jubilee in
this city next month.
The Secretary added that it was a source
of regret to him that he would be unable
TO accommodate the people of the District
of Columbia in this matter, but, he ex-
planned, the critical condition Of affairs in
the Philippines at this juncture made 1t
extremely desirable. if not absolutely neces-
sary, that Admiral Dewey should remain
at his post.
The fact that Admiral Dewey in addition
to his important naval duties, is a member
of the Philippine commission, now engaged
In arranging for the establishment of a
stable and safe government in the archi-
pelago, is also a strong reason why he
should not be recalled from Manila at this
time.
Recent medical reports received by Ad-
miral Van Reypen, surgeon general of the
navy, show that Admiral Dewey is in ex-
cellent health. The surgeon of the Boston,
who recently returned from the Manila
station, has informed the Navy Department
that when he left Manila the admiral was
in as good health any foreigner could
be expected to be in such climate.
