For 1t,
An appeal from the Phoenix Fire Com,
pany was formally made 10 City Council
last evening for an appropriation for the
maintenance of it's ambulance.
The appeal was contained in COM
mnnication from the ambulance COM
mittee of the company OF which DIR.
James II Morgan is chairman. 1t was in
part as follows:
1.-The service rendered by the Phoenix
ambulance since December g. 1897, has
fully demonstrated that it fills great
necessity. We believe that it has the
sympathy of every citizen in Whining
ton for the good work it is doing.
"You no doubt realize that the carry
ing out of this service has been met by
the company until it is compelled to APP
peal to your honorable body for its future
maintenance"
Then followed in full the actual ex-
penses of the equipment of the ambu-
lance, all of which has been met by the
company and the ambulance surgeon,
DIR. James III. Morgan.
The total expenses for the different
years was: 1897, $3l7; 1898, 81, ,026; 1899
81, ISL; total, 81, 2,494..

, total, 81, ,526.

q thought that some difficulty will be ex
perienced in making the appropriation
however.
! It is said that some of the members {
Council will oppose the appropriate
on the ground that Council has no righ
G to make appropriations for other tina
: fire purposes.

NO MENTION OF FIGHTING
oniciaIs in Washington Declare
Their Belief That There Will be
no More Hostilities on a
Large Scale. Denial
BY Root.

Washington, March L. Three cable
messages from General OTIS nave peei
received at the war department.
One contains long list of casualties
among the troops in the Philippines since
the last report. \ second announces the
arrival at Manila of Il government trans
mort from the east coast of Tayabas PROV
ince with 8 American and 410 Spanish
soldiers recently relieved from captivity
among the insurgents.
The third message states that since fne
roccnt opening TO commerce of the island
ports 10000 tons of hemp and lOOoU
bales of tobacco had been received at
Manila and that large shipments of the
commodities named will soon he made TO
tho United States and other countries.
The fact that General Otis has not re-
ported any military operations since thc
dapprt,re Of General Bates expedition
IA southern Luzon to complete the plan
~ oponing tho hemp ports in that quar-
| tcr n accepted by war department ON
tials AZ an Indication that the campaign
II progressing satisfactorily ana that ON
forces have not met with any serious op
position By the insurgents in recent move
ments.
A Denial ny Root.
Secretary Root has made 4 positive dc
nial OF the published report that he J
worried 1T the long silence Of Genera
Otis III regard to military operations i
the Philippines and had cabled him t
make an immediate report Of the sltu9
ton. The secretary says that, on IN
contrary. he is perfectly satisfied wit
the situation.
The officials are confident that tn
backbone Of the insurrection is broker
that there will be no further hostllitie
on i large scale and that affairs i'll I'll
archipelago will be in fairly good shaT
BY tile time of the arrival of the Philil
pine civil commission, about the midd
Of May, for the proposed transfer {
governmental control from. the milital
to the civil authorities.
General Otis is expected to return
the United States on leave of absen
soon after the arrival of the Philippll
commission. 1t is desirable that he shou
meet the commission and give it Il
benefit Of his knowledge OF affairs in Il
Philippines. General Macarthur W
