ILoILO COMES NEXT.
able Dewey Likely Caused
the Recent Fighting.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-A forward
movement is probable at 1loilo, near
where General Miller has been for
weeks. He has never had any doubt OF
his ability TO take the place whenever
he got the word, but there has been a
restraining influence from Washington,
based in part on the hope that the in-
surgents could be brought to peaceful
retirement from the town, and an up
prehension that an effort to force
landing at OF near the city might result
in ser ous injury to foreign interests.
Now, however. IL is felt that the latter
are perhaps more in jeopardy from a
continuance of the existing state OF
affairs than they would be through a
rapid seizure of the town.
General Miller had with him the
Eighteenth infantry and a battalion OF
artillery and 1t is likely that he will be
strongly reinforced before the attempt
Is made to take 1loilo.
Naval officers watched with pride the
achievements of the naval vessels dur
ing the recent fighting, and they were
gratified when Secretary Long sent the
following cablegram: dewey, Manila.
Congratulations. (Signed) Long"
Naturally there was a great deal OF
speculation as TO the future conduct OF
affairs by Otis, out to some extent this
! must lemain speculation, inasmuch as
Secretary Alger had said that the gen.
era is to be lett to follow his own dis
erection.
1t may be that it was Admiral Dew.
ey's act in seizing vessel loaded with
arms ammunition intended for them
that melted the Philippine insurgents
to attack the American soldiers Satur
day night, for 1t was understood tha
one of the bitterest of their grievances
was what they declared to be unwar
rantable interference with their ship
ping.
A. was learned at the navy depart
ment that about a week ago the admlra
caused the seizure of the schooner Ia
neng with a full supply Of such arm
for the insurgens. The admirais re
port d clartd the fact that an American
and not a German owned the vcsse

against Otis troops.

RESIGNED TO HENRY.
The Porto Ricau Cabinet Objected to the
appointment of General Eaton
and Major Pierce.

SAN JUAN DE PoRTo Rico, Feb. c.
The insular cabinet rendered its resig-
nation to Governor General Henry be-
cause, after dismissing Senior Carbonell,
General Henry ordered General Eaton
to take charge of the department Of
public instruction and instructed Major
Pierce to take charge of the department

ments belong to the interior depart
ment. The cabinet demanded the inn
mediate appointment of successor to
Senior Carbonell, and that natives he
appointed in place of General Eaton and
Major Pierce.
General Henry promised compliance
with these demands and the resigna-
tions of the members Of the insula-

General Henry will place the religious
orders in possession of the buildings
from which shey had previously been
elected and will restrain any further
proceedings to disposses them until

to Have Fought Like Regulars.
LONDON, Feb. 8.-The Daily Tele-
graph, commenting upon the fighting at
Manila. said:
at is quite clear that the Americans
have given the Filipino rebels very
sound thrashing at comparatively
small cost to themselves. They have,
for the time being at all events, placed
Manila in safety until the reinforce.
ments now enroute reach General Otis.
"Although the majority of the Amer.
lean soldiers at Manila were volunteers
they appear TO have fought with as
much discipline and gallautry as their
regular comrades could have exhibited. 7"

New YORK, Feb. 6.-Major General
Wesley Merritt was interviewed re-
garding the attack by the Fillpinos
upon the American forces about Manila
Saturday and S%...ddssy: Genera! -. .as:1
ritt spoke first of the condition of t
troops when he left there IN September
last. he said he thought there WAS alb
solutely no cause TOR apprehension by
the Americans, as he considered the
American troops perfectly able to cope
with their enemies. ..
He was asked how large he Thoughts
the Filipino army Is and he estimated
when he was there that they had from
$4,000 to $4,000 men. He arrived al
thls extimate, he explained. by count
ing the rifles. The insurgents, he said,
fight Ill rather peculiar way. A man,
for example, stays in a trench for 48
hours and then 10 relieved by anotheR
man who uses the same gun. 1t is,
therefore, quite probable that the Fill
pinos are much greater in number than
the rifles which he counted.
81 have no doubt" he continued.
"that since left there much ammuni-
ton has been smuggled to them by the
Spaniards from Hongkong. They have
about 1000 pieces from the Spanish de-
serters l know. Probably they are now
well supplied with guns"
1t was his opinion that the holding in
allegiance of the treaty of peace may
have influenced the insurgents to make
this attack.
General Merritt spoke of the excel
lont troops that are IN Manila and its
suburbs.
