AGING DISPATCH FROM GENERAL OTIS.
Washington. April 3-The following cable dis
patch was received at the War Department
this morning:
Manila. April j. 1889.
Adjutant General. Washington:
Present Indications denote insurgent govern
ment in perilous condition, its army defeated,
discouraged and scattered. Insurgents return
ing TO their homes in cities and villages between
here and points north of Malolos, Whlch our
reconnoitring parties have reached, and desire
protection Of Americans. News from Nisayan
islands more encouraging every day. OTIS.
War Department officials were pleased by
this cheering dispatch. 1t contains great deal
Of encouragement To them. and those who know
General Otis well say he is not man 10 take
a roseate view Of situation unless there Is
reason for it, 1t is argued at the Department
that the Filipinos have never been used to the
kind Of warfare that the Americans have given
them and for that reason they are now aware
that it will be impossible for them to accom-
rlish anything by fighting. While there Is dis
appointment because the movement for the
capture Of a large force Of the Filiplnos was not
successful. it IS believed that the pressing or
the insurgents steadily toward the north, capt
uring their capital and driving them from place
to place has had discouraging erect on the
natives VINO have been following ASulhalHo.
II is evident by the reference which General
Otis makes to reconnoitTing parties that he is
having the country thoroughly covered. and that
the infornation which they giving him is
the basis Of the dispatch received to-day. 1t is
believed that desaTtOnS Will soon deplete the
army Of Aguinaldo TO little or nothing. II would
not take long for an army Of the KIND ne mas
gathered TO melt away and disappear in the
mountains and jungles Of Luzon.
That portion Of the dispatch relating 10 the
Nisayas refers to the operations of which lloho
ie the base The group includes Panay. BOhol,
Cebu Negros and others Of less importance.
The rebellion against United States authority
was not serious in these islands. being stirred
up by enissalies Of Agunado at Iloilo. The
constant defeat Of Agunado's forces north Of
Manila has no doubt had depressing effect on
other insurgents.

great educational rally and holy spirit
conference Will be held with the First
Baptist church of this city. beginning
Wednesday night, February %, at 1880.
This meeting is in the interest of a deeper
Christian life, as we'll as the development
of denominational work. 1t will be re-
membered that on the 10th of last De-
cembcr q meeting of the pastors OF the

for the purpose of considering how most
effectually the campaign of Christian ed
ucation In this part OF the State should be
conducted. AT that time committee was
appointed. consisting of w. M. Harris,
L. ID. Lamkin and NJ. NJ. Hitchcock, to
take the matter under consideration and
suggest methods to the pastors. In accord
ance with their report each pastor is asked
to hold local rally with his church, call
ing ON whomsoever he chooses for assist
ance. Blending the great educational inter-
est with the spiritual interest of the de-
nomination the pastors have reason to
expect meeting of wonderful spiritual
power. A leading pastor in North Texas,
whom the programme had been sent,
writes: II am profoundly Interested in
your meeting and its object. think that
you have struck the keynote of the de-
nominational situation in Texas"
