The Fourteenth infantry has uncnrthed |
several tons Of Spanish shells which had |
evidently been stolen from ;he Ci,vte |
arsenal and chached by the reb.le in the
Of Paranaque. Fifteen cart |
loads have been brought into the city as
has also modern naval gun and part |
Of its mount.
There Is no doubt that the gun was |
stolen by the insurgents or removed from |
one OF the sunken war vessels.
Washington, Feb. 1O-Up to the close Of |
office hours today General Otis sent no
news TO the war department Indicating |
any further conflicts with the natives,
He had a few casualties 20 report, these |
In answer to inquiries from anxious
notice to the department that he had been
obliged 10 buy a large number of horses
TO supply the transportation needed, ow-
ing 20 the lengthening OF the American
lines. These horses, so-called, are really /
the little native Filipino ponies. which
IL IS sad at the war department have been
found TO be the best pack and draft horses
that can be secured.
Some big American horses have been
taken TO the island by the troops but they
have sickened and died and altogether
have proven to be wholly unfit for hte
climate On the other hand General Ous
reports that he has mounted several
troops of cavalry on the little native
ponies with good results
The same state Of AFFAIRS still holds good
with respect to the instruction OF General
Otis. Again Secretary --,ger said this af-
ternoon that he had not sent any instruc-
tons since the beginning OF hoetllities
and will send none.
