ONE REGULAR OFFICER SLAIN
AND ELEVEN ENLISTED MEN OF THE
FOURTEENTH INFANTRY.
Gen. Otis Not to BE Interfered With
by the Washington Authorities
Dispatch from Admiral Dewey.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6-The important
news in Washington to-day was the rati-
fication of the peace treaty and the report
of lists of casualties from General O:ls.
Prompted by General Otis's promis of last
night to send along the list of casualties at
the earliest possible moment, friends OF the
soldiers at Manila tesieged the War De-
partme1t to-day by telegram and wCrd cf
mouth for information from the scene of
the battle in the Philippines The list was
long in coming, fact explained by the
cutting of the telegraph wires along the
American front, which prevented early re-
ports from the division commanders. In
the meantime came a short cablegram from
Admiral Dewey that caused some tempor-
ary commotion by creating the impression
that hostilities had been renewed by the
insurgents. Up to the close of office hours,
however, nothing had come from General
Otis to confirm this Inference, and such
cablegrams as lid come from him touched
upon other matters entirely, 50 * was as
sumed that there was no foInda ti0n, in
fact for the apprehension. When General
Otis's casualty lists neg2n to come over the
cables they were somewhat confusing, Prob
ably due to the fact that there are nineteen
different lines between Manila and Wash
ington. The immediate effect was II cause
some errors to be made in the reported list
Of killed. After great difficulty the cflicials
of the War Department arranged the
previous casualty lists into the single list
given below, which is believed to be sub
stantially accurate and was made up as
an official substitute list for the prior lists.
