NO FURTHER WORD FROM GENERAL OTIS

wARDED TO GENERAL MILLER AT ILollo.
Washington Jan. 2.-Nothng more has been
heard at the War Department from General
Otis at Manila since his cable dispatch Of yes
terday was received The situation Is irritating
from the fact that according to the experience
Of the last few days, II is not TO be expected
that anything more can be heard from lloio
for a day or two at least. except In the I'M
probable event that the American force has been
repulsed in its efforts 10 make a landing and
has been obliged to return straight to Manila.
II is surmised from the reports that General
Miller is proceeding with more tact and less
roughness In his dealings with the insurgents
than appeared from a first impression Of the
reports. His purpose apparently was TO avoid
such formal recognition Of the insurgents as
might tend to embarrass the United States Gov
eminent hereafter. but at the same time no. to
deal harshly with tfem If they can be brought
20 see the rectitude OF his decisions
Therefore the officials are OF the opinion that
there will be no actual hostiiites between the
forces arrayed against General Otis and the
American troops, but that at the worst the for
mer VIII retire from lloilo without accepting or
rejecting the American overtures until they
have heard from Aguinaldo. General Otis has
taken steps TO acquaint General Miller with the
latest instructions Of the President and a special
messenger is now on his way from Manila to
Ioilo
