tants, five miles northwest of the
foothills. The troops first encountered
the rebel outposts in the dense jungle
on the banks of the river. The enemy
was dislodged after half an hours
fighting. The Americans advanced in
splendid manner under a heavy fire
until all was ready to volley the rebels
from the trenches. The latter had a
great advantage and dropped a num-
Der of our men. The Americans
charged across the rice fields, making
four advances on the enemy, who
numbered 1000 men, SOC Of whom
were entrenched. and in the face Of a
cross-fire. Our troop scarried the town
after four hours fighting and burned
the outskirts, the rebels firing from the
windows and keeping up a running ire

washington, March 19.-There vas
muc reticence shown at the war de-
partment yesterday to discuss a cable
dispatch from Gen. Otis. which was
regarded as most important by those
VINO read 1T as indicating that HOSTILE
ties might cease very suddenly in the
Fhlllppines and a collapse of the in
surrection come at any time.
The reasons for the belief Of Gen.
Otis that a collapse might come at
any hour was not stated, but his as
sumption was based on the favorable
reports he had received from various
sources that the Filipinos We're tired
or h war and A~guinaldo's leader
ship. 1t is believed at the war de
partment that the method in which
the Americans have conducted the
fighting has done much 20 convince
the Eilipinos OF the uselessness OF
trying 10 drive out the United States
forces. The fighting has been of diff
ferent character from that to which
they We're accustomed when the Span
iards were in possession of Manila.
Gen. Otis cable caused a great deal
or qualification. 1t was sent to the
president at ~Thomasyille, Ga. The
preparations that have been under
way to send further troops and sup
plies to the Philippines have not been
curtailed, however. The Hight batter.
les which Gen. Otis requested will be
sent, as they may be useful in future
operations and in case of disturbances

THIS Is
DETERMINATION OF the TagaIOs the
Only Remedy.

Hongkong, March 19.-The following
general view of the situation is from a
correspondent of the Associated Press
at Manila, and has evidently not been
subjected to censorship:
''The most remarkable feature Of the
situation is the inability of the Ameri-
cans and residents TO estimate the
numbers, and plans of the
Filipinos. Prominent generals think
that two or three disastrous battles
will break their spirit and make them
sue for terms. A majority of the
English and other residents are of the
opinion that the determination of the
Tagalos Is the only guarantee of peace,
that they can easily be whipped IL
they give battle, but that they Will
dodge a meeting with the Americans
In force. Some people think that they
will risk battles at Malabon and Par
apaque, where they are strongly in
trenched, and that IL they are de-
feated they will bushwhack-
ing as long as any of them are left
