Reasons for Bringing the General and his

Forces Back to Manila.
Washington, April 17.-When shown
a dispatch announcing the recall Of
Gen. Lawton, to Brigadier General
Schwan. acting adjutant general, he said
it was in accordance with the under
standing of the War Department as to
the purpose of Gen. Lawton's cam
paign.
Gen. Otis sent this expedition to
Southern Luzen," he continued, "for
the purpose of destroying any insurgent
forces that might be found there, to
make a careful reconnaissance of the
territory, and to spread broadcast the
recent proclamation of the Philippine
commission, setting forth the purposes
of this government with respect to the
islands.
Il understand that he will release
all the prisoners he has taken and they
will be sent to their homes. BY this
action it is hoped that he will prove to
the Filipinos that the Americans are
not as barbarous as the insurgents pre-
tend we are, and that we propose to
meet the Filipinos humanely."

Gen. Otis has not communicated his
plans to the department, the matter
being left entirely to his discretion.
The insurgent leader has established
his headquarters at San Fernando. to
the northwest of Malolos, and l suppose
Gen. Otis contemplates a movement
against that city. Gen. Lawton only
had fifteen hundred men under his COM
mand and it was of course impossible
for him to divide his force by station
ing detachments in every village cap
tured. His command will be useful,
however, in assisting in the advance
on Malolos or in reinforcing the line
about the city Of Manila 1t is pos
sible that when the lake rises Gen.
Otis win resume the campaign IN the
southern part Of the Island"
