Situation in the Philippines Gratifying.
New Youk, Dec. 25. A special to tho
Herald from Washington says: Wash
ington officials aro very much gratified
at tho existing situation in the .Philip
pines. The insurgent army, which
dominated the northern part of Luzon
island up to November 5, when tho
American campaign began, has disap
peared. American garrisons are estab
lished at more important points, pro
moting peace in the surrounding terri
tory, and the general condition has eo
improved thut General Otis considered
it feasible to open all the ports of north
ern Luzon to trade.
General Otis will now turn his atten
tion to tho rebels south of Manila, and,
it is expected, will begin active opera
tion's against them inn fow days. Open
ing the important parts of northern
Luzon on January 1 is expected to de
stroy the corner in hemp formed by

special law under which he advauced to

no material change in his existing status.

THE DAMAGES
ARE CLAIMED
Authorities Arc Held Responsible for
Half Million Loss Seems That
Otis Was Notified That Spaniards
Intended to Evacuate by a Certain
Date.
1lo Ilo, Nov. 17. (Correspondence of
tho Associated PieBS.) The taking of
Hollo is an old ntory nt home, but it is
a very live story here today, because up
on its facts and details hinge claims for
damages to foreigners resulting from th
bnrning oi the city, which amount in all
to more than $$00,000 in gold. TLe
foreigners claim that our military au
thoritios were responsible for the burn
ing, and these authorities up to the
present time have ignored the whole
matter.
"Early in December 1898," eaid a
prominent business man of Ho Ilo, "a
circular letter was handed to Major-Gen
eral Otis, signed by the foreign merch
ants in Manila, who had branches pf
their firms in Ilo Ilo, in which his at
tention was drawn to the danger that
would inevitably result to foreign life
and property if the Americans did not
immediately send an armed force to Ilo
Ilo to take over possession of the city
from the Spaniards before tho latter
left, ns it was well known that the Span
ish governor had orders from Spain to
evacuate the city with the least possible
delay. This letter was ignored by Gen
eral Otis, anil American troops did not
arrive in Ilo Ilo until December 28,
four days after the Spaniards had left."
Efforts have been made within tho
last month by merchants directly in
terested in this matter of claims to as
certain what the authorities had done
wero doing or contemplated doing m
thn innttpr. but it was impossible to
gain any satisfaction whatever upon
either of these three points. All these
Ilo Ilo claims are filed with the proper
persons at Manila, and, further, they
have been filed with the respective con
suis of the foreigners interested
'through this latter channel the matter
will some day come to a hearing, wliero
nnon interesting historical data will be
.tm.ainiiPfi. nnil the responsibility be
finally fixed.
