HUGHES TO OTIS, FEBRUARY 6, 1900

Three days thereafter [after the Feb 3 1900 message of Hughes to Barry from Iloilo, on Hughes' return from Antique] the following message was received from Iloilo:

February 6, 1900.

General Otis, Manila:

Schwan telegraphed December 23 asking cooperation on west coast of Leyte. Answered would endeavor to do so after Aclan Valley expedition, with one or two battalions. Keep faith by offering one, but confess I would rather not send it until some disturbances threatened in Panay are quieted.

Hughes.
