AMERICAN TROOPS PREPARED.

,AsHrNGTCN. Feb. 6-The important
news in washington to-day was the rati-
ncauou of the peace treaty and the re-
CENT of tho list of casualties from Gen
OTIS.
prompted by General OTIS promise of
last night 90 send along the list of case
ualties at The earliest possible moment
The friends OF the soldiers at Manila. be-
sierad the War Department to-day by
telegram and word of mouth for infor-
nation from the scene of battle in the
Philippines.
The list was long in coming, fact
from which it is judged. that the cutting
OF Tho American telegraph wires alons
the front had prevented early reports
from the division commanders.
I'm the meantime came ID short cable
gram from Admiral Dewey that caused
some temporary commouon by creating
the impression that hosthities had oeen
renewed by the insurgents.
A BELATED MESSAGE.
r-, to the close OF Office hours, however.
nothing had como from General Otis TO
confirm this inference. and such cable
rrsms as did come from him. touched
upon other matters entirely SO 1T was
assumed that here was no foundation
,r fact for the apprehension. and that
Admiral Dewey message was oelaled
One referring to thc first engagements
When General Otis casualty lists Des"h
fo come over the cables they were some
what confusing probably due 10 The Iact
that There aye nineteen different ilies
between Manila and Washington. Ine
immediate effect was to cause some er-
r,rs fo he made i'm the reported list Of
