WASHINGTON, June 27.-General Otis
detailed report of the conditions exist
ing in the Philippines is considered
very satisfactory at the war depart
ment. It is taken to mean that Gen
eral Otis will not now prosecute cam
paign on account of the rainy season,
except where the insurgents make it
necessary to defend the territory now
in possession of the United States. That
portion of the dispatch telling of the
belief among Filipinos that the present
policy of the United States will not be
upheld is regarded as of great signiti-
canoe. It is believed that when the
Filipinos see there is no hope Of their
recognition by the United States they
will give up the fight. The absence of
any suggestion as to more troops being
needed is taken to mean that General
Otis does not believe they could be used
to advantage at present.
