Trouble in Securing the. Release of Spanish Prisoners. Washington, D. C., Dec. 29.——'A dis- patch came from General Otis yester— day that at once confirmed the fears of the officials of the war department as to what. had taken place at Iloilc. capital of the island of Panay, and second city of the Philippines. It appears that the American forces had arrived too late on the scene and that the insurgents had hoisted their flag over the city, which they haw.- been besieging for months. The news-was contained in the fol— lowing message from General Otis: Manila, Dec. 27. Adjutant General, ‘Washington: Sent Colonel Potter on fast vessel to Iloili on 24th to communicate with the Spanish general, Rios; latter evacuat- ed evening of 24th and Potter thirty. nine hours late; insurgents took pos~ session of city on 26th, and Potter found Aguinaldo’s flag flying. Cannot now report probable results; will not, hear from there for four days. as no cable communications. Spanish forces have evacuated all stations in southern islands. except Zamboanga. Mindanao. by orders, as they say, from Madrid. OTIS. The evacuation by the Spaniards of all the Philippine posts, as reported by General Otis, although doubfless inspired by a desire to secure tli safety by concentration. undoubtedly has done much to complicate the prob— lem already presented to the war de- partment, of extending the military ju- risdiction of the United States ovcr tir- islands. It will now be necessary to expeQ-Et: the execution of the original plans. and it may be fully expected that \vith'i- a. week important events will have mu ken place in the Philippines. It is presumed that General Otis will demand the surrender of Iloiio into his: hands. and this demand may :it one" raise the issue between the insurgents and our own government as to the pos- session of the islands. lio to the time the dispatch sent there had been a good deal 'ol‘ anxiety in official circles .over events- at Iloilo. Two official dispatches-z had been received by the state and war departments, but it was impossible ti gather from them an accurate knowl— edge as to the conditions there. _ United States Consul Pratt. at Sin- goi‘iorc. cabled the. state department" “lioilo taken 24th. Spanish fled to Borneo." ‘ This threw the. officials into deeper doubt than before. The province of Iloilo is set down in the official 'li.‘~T-."."‘.'()I‘:t‘S iii: ll.l\'l|l§' population of 472,003, and it is the 9""- ozid seaport of unpertance in. the Flu— liunine group. it is located on a river navigable for vessels of fifteen feet draught, so that very few of our gun- boats would be available to assist the troops in case it should be necessary to take forcible possession of the city. The Spaniards have chosen a strong place for the concentration of their troops in the town of amboanga, which as the reports here indicate. is strong- lv fortified. and possessed of consul. e‘rable natural strength from a defen— sive point of view. It is not doubted that they will be able to maintain. themselves for an indefinite period of time against the insurgents, presum- ing that they are not cut off from ob» taiiiing supplies from the sea. The town itself has a population of 21,000 inhabitants. . Professor D. C. Worcester was a Vis- itor at UL: state department yester- dav in connection with the Philippine affhir.

Otis's telegram of yesterday, but there is no doubt that he is meeting \Vll‘h great difficulty fin his effort to secure the release of the Spanish prisoners held by the Filipinois. It begins to appear clearly that. .a considerable element among. the F111- pino.1eaders, probably a majority, are disposed to use these unfortunate prirs— oners d's a basis for negotiations will the United States government. making their release conditional uponcertain more or less important concessmns de- manded by them. It is not yet a that terms cannot foregone conclusion be arranged by pri- vate conferences in Manila to secure the release of. these men, but the Uni- ted States government being now pled— ged by treaty to free them, must resort to other means, if peaceful representa- tions fail. General Otis has been instructed. on this point. and the war department has confidence in his experience and sound judgment, and. believing that from his presence on the scene he is better ca- pable of dealing with the situation than oflicials here, has confined itself to a statement of what is expected to' be done toward securing the release of the prisoners, leaving it to General. Otis to devise ways and means and carry out the .plans. Until some progress has been made and the department is aware of the exact number of these prisoners, it will not be possible to proceed very far with the. plans for the repatriation of the Spaniards.

NOT FOR CUBAN ARMY. lie $22.0(lil,(ll)0 Fund “'ill Not be Used for Pay of Soldiers. 'Washington, D. C., Dec. 29.——It is de— nied .on the highest authority that the three million dollars passed in the ur- gency deficiency bill to be used as an emergency fund was placed there to pay Cuban soldiers. The. story has been published that this fund was passed by Congress sole- ly to pay Cuban and Philippine insur- gents, arid that the Cubans will be paid at once. 'It is. true that advances have been made to the war department on the part of the Cuban junta to use this money for the Cuban soldiers, and ne— gotiations took place but they did not reach :1 definite conclusion. The Cubans are trying to keep up the negotiations. but opposition has developed, not only in the war depart- ment, but from the president, and there is little probability of the fund being used for that purpose. In fact. the secretary of war has sug~ gested that this-money should be used to purchase vessels needed as trans— ports for the Philippines. The fund was put in the. deficiency bill for the same use as the $5,000.000 defence appropriation was made, to be at the disposal of the president for my Lil'lt‘l‘gelle which may arise. The president does not consider the pay— ment of the Cuban soldiers such an emergency. and opposes any such ac- tion on the some ground as he did the recognition of the Cuban republic, cause recognizing the Cuban army would be a step toward recognizing the Cubans as an independent nation. l)?— .

Easy for Anyone. We do not believe it necessary to be a. chemist in order that the good qualities of Vinol may be recognized. Anyone can ascertain how do- lioious Vinol really tastes. A very few days will convince the most skeptical how mocli better its action is than that of cod liver oil, - nd how much more quickly it does good. Following is an extract from a letter written by Mr. Charles N. Swift 3. well known chemist of Broclitou, in which he attributes much of Vinoi’s success to the above reasons. “I have made a careful study of Viuol and find it to be in every particular as you repre- sent it. It is most delicious to the taste, and very effective in its action. To this it owes in a large measure its usefulness in creating a. healthy appetite.” It is a fact that the public have learned to recognize the benefit of taking less medicine and in a. concentrated form. It is also a fact. that the public appreciate being able to take such a medicine in a form that is delicious to the taste and will not upset the stomach. This is the reason that. Vinol will entirely su- persede cod liver oil in any form we have hitherto known it. Yours very truly, Special Vinol representative. PLAISTED’S drug store. So.
