WASHINGTON, Feb. 6-The import
fcation of the peace treaty and receipt

Otis. Prompted by General Otis prom
Use of last night to send along the list
of casualties at the earliest possible
moment, the friends of the soldiers at
Manila besieged the War Department
to-day by telegram and word of mouth
for information from the scene of the
battle in the Philippines. The list was
long in coming, fact explained by
the cutting ofsthe telegraph wires along
the American front, which prevented
early reports from the division COM
manders. In the meantime came ca
blegram from Admiral Dewey that
caused some temporary connection by
creating the impression that hostilities
had been renewed by the insurgents
Up to the close of office hours, how
ever. nothing had come from General
Otis to confirm this inference, and such
cablegrams as did come from him
so it was assumed that there was no
foundation in fact for the apprehen-
sion.
When General Otis casualty lists be-
gan to come over the cables they were
somewhat confusing, probably due to
the fact that there are nineteen differ
ent lines between Washington and Ma
Mia. The immediate effect was to
cause some errors to be made in the
reported list of killed. After great diff
ficulty the officials of the War Depart
ment arranged the previous casualty
lists into the following single list, which
is believed to be substantially accurate
and was made up as an official sub
stitute for the prior lists:
