FILIPINO REPORT. Claim is Mado That No Looting Has TSeon Allowed at Iloilo. Hongkong, Jan. S. The newspapers here publish the following dispatch from Iloilo, evidently from a Filipino source: "When the Americans arrived at Iloilo, they found absolutely no looting upon the part of the Filipino forces, or conduct of any kind unworthy un-worthy of civilized people. In conformity con-formity with their agreement with the Spaniards, the Filipinos entered Iloilo in an orderly manner and formally hoisted the Filipino flag. The Americans Ameri-cans found a good government and one meeting with the complete approval of the foreign residents. The post office, customs and other departments were working smoothly, under the entire control of the Filippinos. This disposes of the allegations of the inclinations of the Filipinos to loot and kill. The Filipinos occupied Iloilo on the same humane principles which have guided their action against their Spanish oppressors."
