THE SITUATION.
Not Sure That the Backbone of the Insur-
rection Is Broken

New York, Feb. ia dispatch to the
Herald from Manila says: In an inter-
view Admiral Dewey said:
1.-THE people on shore know more about
the situation than | do. 1t seems to me
to be excellent, however. The natives
are coming in again. and especially in
San Rogue, whence they had been driven
out by the insurgents, who had burned
their homes. With ordinary people I
should say the backbone of the insurrec-
ton had been broken, but with this race
you can never tell. A Filipino master
mechanic in the arsenal at Cavite, repre-
senting the middle class, who formed the
strongest part of the Instruction, and
who, like himself, We're prominent
among them. said: I wonder whether
Aguinaldo will continue to feed us This
shows the attitude of the people. Our
success at 1loilo with only a man
scratched, will. I believe, have a great
moral effect. The Petrol during the fight
went within easy rifle shot of shore,
understand the troops in Iloilo will move
on the outlying towns of Iloilo and ia
ro."
Brigadier General Hale to-day said:
1.-THE insurgent attack was the natural
outgrowth of their nagging and over
bearing tactics during the last month.
They were looking for trouble and they
troops was about exhausted. The crush
ing defeat of the insurgents impressed
the natives in Manila and the surround
ing villages with the force of American
arms and it has turned their insolence
into respect Aguinaldo and his officers
represent to the ignorant people that our
troops are exhausted and that the insur-
gents are concentrating in force and can
pierce our line and take Manila. There is
little probability of any such efforts being
made and none at all of their success.
While the insurgents make a strong de-
fensive fight under cover, our artillery
and infantry rob them of their courage
and they do not dare expose themselves.
We shall soon break the insurrection and
when that is done the United States can
afford to adopt a most liberal policy con-
sistent with good, safe government
Brigadier General King said:
THE insurgents We're assured by their
leaders that we would run sooner than
| fight. When the word came to advance
| the insurgent works were carried with
