Of the navy has received most interest
ing report from Capt Leary. governor Of
Guam, recording his achievement In the

Both Otis and Watson Connrm the
News of the Recapture OF GILL;

WASHINGTON. Jan. 6-Oficial confir-
nation has come from both Gen. Otis
and Admiral Watson Of the release of the
American prisoners who have been held
by the Filipinos for many months. Otis
dispatch reads as follows:
Manila, Jan. 6.
1.-THE prisoners are now en- route from
vigan and will arrive tonight. and the
list Of them will be te!egraphed to-mor-
row. Lieut.. Gilmore is among the num-
ber."
That Of Watson follows:
Manila, Jan. 6.
Coils Hare and Howitx have recaptured
all the American prisoners, including Gill
more. They are now at Vigan."
The sweeping statements made in the
dispatches, to the effect that all Ameri-
can prisoners have been released. has
aroused hope that In the list will appear
the names of some of the officers and
privates of the army who are set down on
the army rolls as Musings. Prominent
among the missing army officers was
Maj. Charles M. Rockefeller, Of the
Ninth infantry. This officer advanced be-
yond the lines during fierce fighting early
last summer. He disappeared completely
and no trace of his body was ever found.
1t is gathered from Otis report that the
released men have been sent by boat
across Lingayen gulf to Dagupan at the
northern extremity of the railroad and
about days journey from Manila.
