MANILA, April 5. - The American
troops under Gen. Macarthur are still
resting at Malolos, where everything
Of S71ndov H0c+i1i4inc
elsewhere, so far as officially reported,
have been limited during the last "a
hours to an occasional exchange of
shots between the insurgents and the
troops forming the lines of Gen. Law
---vcn and Gen. Hall, extending from the
water works to La Lonia. But this
shooting has been just active enough to
make the lives of the soldiers burden
and to compel the officers to sleep
in trenches, clothed and in readiness
to resist possible attacks. Most of the
Americans are becoming convinced
that the back bone of the insurgent op-
position is broken. There are numer-
Gus rumors pointing to an early col
lapse Ol IIl0 1uSaTICCIIOA- 0IIS I'll LuOSS
is that Gen. Pic Del Pillar, the best
fighter among the Filipino officers, will
desert Aguinaldo and give his support
to the Americans.
The SpaniardS. reasoning from their
experience of the natives, refuse to be-
iieVe that the rebellion is anywhere
near put down. They declare that the
Filipinos will not take their defeat at
Malolos- with the loss of the city and
the removal of their sO-called govern
ment, seriously to heart On the
contrary, the Spaniards predict
that the insurgents will hover
near the American lines, botherine
them as much as possible, and wheI
attacked in force, dissolve, only to re
appear at other points. This sort OF
tactics, the Spaniards say, will be fol
lowed until the wet season compels tia
Americans to be housed in barracks
and then the FilipinOs will return AM
reoccupy such towns as the UniteT
States troops do not garrison. With tn
next dry season a repetition of tn
present operations will begin. Tim
alone will show how much there is il
this theory; but as against it, it mus
be borne in mind that the Spaniard
in all their domination of the Philip
pines never gave the inhabitants
demonstration of power COMPARABLE
In effectiveness to that given them b.
