MESSAGES FROM GENERAL OTIS.
AFFAIRS IN THE PHILIPPINES SAID TO BE
IN SATISFACTORY SHAPE.

Washington, March 1.-Three cable MESA ges
from General Otis were received at the War
Department to-day one contained long list
| OF casualties among the troops in the Philip
| pines since the last report A second announced
the arrival at Manila to-day of Government
transport from the east coast of Tayabas Prov
tnce with eight American and 40 Spanish sol
diers recently relieved from captivity among
the insurgents. The third message said that
since the recent opening 10 commerce of the
island ports 13,0oO tons OF hemp and 10000 bales
OF tobacco had been received at Manila. and
that large shipments of these commodities will
soon be made 70 the United States and other
countries
The fact that General Otis has not reported
any military operations since the departure OF
General Batess expedition to Southern Luzon
to complete the plan Of opening the hemp ports
in that quarter is accepted by War Department
officials as indication that the campaign is
proceeding satisfactorily and that the Ameri-
can forces have not met any serious opposition
from the insurgents in recent movements Sec
retary Root has denied the published report
that he is worried at the long silence OF General
Otis in regard TO military operations in the Phil
ippines, and had instructed him to make
immediate report on the situation. The Secre-
tary said that. the contrary, he per
fectly satisfied with the situation.

Affairs in the archipelago il is believed will be
in fairly good shape by the time OF the arrival
of the Philippine Commission, about the middle
of May. for the proposed transfer of government
from the military to the civil authorities.
General Otis is expected to return to the
United States on leave of absence soon after the
