Regarding the action OF Edward Atkin-
son and his followers Mr. Barrett said;
'.The attitude OF Mr. Atkinson, has fallen
completely fiat among the American SOL
diers. The first paper that was issued In
Boston. wnen received by the troops In
May, was greeted with cheers and scorn
and the remark was freely expressed mat
II was shame that anything so un Ameri-
can could be perpetrated. inc borrowers
of Mr.. Atkinson. Including Mr.. Bryan ana
several senators opposed to annexation,
cry against the loss Of life In the Philip
mines. They are themselves to blame Tor
the increase in loss OF Yife because they en-
courage the Filipinos to light by their seol-
tious utterances. II Is no exaggeratioh 70
say that II there is any influence to keep
the natives from surrendering 1t Is from
Americans and their sentiment which they
evidently hope will become strong that
the troops will be called home.
"I have Investigated the matter thor
oughly and found to my great satlsraccOn
that there Is not particle OF anxiety for
relief among the troops. ! have talked
with hundreds Of representative men In
all the volunteer regiments and did not
get a single answer otherwise. The vol
unteer regiments include those from Penn
sylvania, Minnesota, Oregon, California,
Kansas, Montana and Washington and 1t
Is the same whether on garrison duty or
on the lines. Their sentiment is expressed
as one OF the soldiers told me: We are
anxious to go home, but only on condition
that regiments will arrive to take our
places The -combatant natives cut
no figure in the general result Of the war.
There are not so many OF them in the
island Of Luzon, with a great majority
with Agulnaldo. The wealthy merchants
are remaining quiet and remain neutral,
but are wtching an opportunity to side
with one or the other as will best meet
their financial ends.
II think that with the rebellion In
Luzon crushed the backbone of the entire
war Is broken. We will have little trouble
with the other islands and they will quick
ly come under the American flag. The
natives seem to prefer the flag of the
United States to that of any other power"
Mr.. Barrett spoke in the strongest praise
OF Admiral Dewey.
