NEW YORK. April ia Tribune
special from Washington says: Four
teen thousand regulars are to he sent
to re-enforce General Otis at Manila as
soon as the necessary marine transport
alton can be procured. The first regl-
ment to be ordered will probably be the
Seventh Artillery, OF which two light
batteries, C and NJ. have been ordere
home from Porto Rico for the purpose
They will be sent at once to San Fran
cisco to await an available transport
steamer. Thirteen heavy batteries OF
the regiment will be equipped as in
fantry, according to present plans, al
though one of them may be used as
light artillery. 1t Is not expected that
the bulk of this large body Of re-en-
fCrcements can reach Mania until the
end OF the rainy season. which has juSi
begun, but they will follow closely the
departure from the Philippines of the
volunteers.
LONDON, April 19.-John Barrett.
former United States Minister to Siam,
who has just arrived from Manila. en-
phatically declares that the gloomy
fOebodings expressed in some quarters
relative to the Philippines are not JUS
tified by the facts.
THE United States naval and mill
tary authorities" he says, have done
everything possible in the difficult and
exceptional circumstances, and the
united support OF all parties in the
United States in the present juncture
will enable them to bring matters n the
Philippines to quick and lasting set
Element, honorable to the motherland.
Should the Filipinos, however, who are
kept well informed, acquire the idea
that a prolongation of hostilities would
AFFECT politics in the United States ad-
vantageously to them, the war would
be more prolonged"
In the opinion of Mr.. Barrett, the FL
lipino, as SOON as he has had time to
digest the recent successes of General
Otis and General Lawton and to be-
come convinced of American superior
ity, will settle down to 4 life of peaceful
and progressive citizenship.
