About the situation than I 90. Il seems
to me to be excellent, however. The
natives are coming in again, especially
IN San Rogue, whsnce they had been
driven. by the Insurgents, who had
burned their houses.
With ordinary people I should say
the Backbone of the insurrection had
been broken, but with this race you
can never tell. A Filipino master me-
chanic in the arsenal at Cavite, repre-
senting the middle class, who formed
the strongest part Of the insurrection
and who is himself prominent Lamong
them, said: I wonder whether Aguin-
aldo viii continue to feed us This
shows the attitude of the people.
Our success at Iloilo with only a
man scratched, will / believe, have
great moral effect. The Petrol, during
the fight, went within easy rife shot
of shore. I understand the troops in
Iloiio will move on the outlayiHg towns
of Lolo and Jaro.'
Brigader-General Hale today said:
THE insurgent attack was the natural
outgroWth of their nagging and over
bearing actions during the last month.
They were looking for trouble and they
found it. The remarkable patience of
our troops was about exhausted. The
crushing defeat of the insurgents has
impressed the natives in Manila and
the surrounding villages with the force
of the American arms ana it has
turned their insolence into respect.
-Aguinaldo and his officers represent
to the ignorant people that our troops
are exhausted and that the insurgents
are concentrating in force and can
pierce our line and take Manila. There
is little probability of any such effort
being made and none at all of its sue
cess.
The recent engagements show that,
while the Filipinos make a stubborn
defensive fight under cover against ar
tillery and infantry. they lack the
nerve TO resist the charge Of a series
of hard, rapid blows without time to
recover, especially if they are accom-
panied by the capture of some of their
leaders. We shall soon break the in
surrection and when that is done the
United States can afford 70 adopt the
most liberal policy consistent with
good, safe government"

gents were assured by their leaders

TROOPS IN CUBA.
War Department Proposes to Reduce
the Force.

w ar department proposes to Reduce
the Force.
New York, Feb. IA special to the
Times from Washington says: A ros-
ter of troops in Cuba by companies was
shown to Adjutant General Corbin a
day or two ago. 1t footed up in excess
of $4,000 men, many of whom were vol
unteers anxious to be released from
service and returned to their homes
and their Vocations. This roster was
prepared with direct reference to pick
ing out those commands whose service
could be most easily dispensed with
without reducing the force in Cuba be-
low the number necessary to maintain
order.
War department officials who have
had charge of the matter say if con-
gress had passed an army reorganiza-
ton bill providing for a large army of
regulars or even the continuance OF the
regular force at g., 900 men, more rapid
steps would have been taken with the
purpose of Withdrawing volunteers
from Cuba, possibly without intending
to supply their places with regulars.
But whether the army reorganization
bill passes or fails it is considered pru-
dent by the war department to great
ly reduce the number of men on the
island. Two regiments of immunes
which has been on duty at Santiago
are now on their way home or are ready
TO return and before the middle of
March it is expected that a division
of volunteers, most of the men under
General Lee, will be ordered home 10
be mustered out.
AS soon after the middle of March as
possible other volunteers viii be or
dered home. In the meantime. if the
suggestion of Major General Butler and
r. P. Porter can be put into practice.
it is expected that q force of native
Cubans selected from the men who have
served with Cuban army, will be en-
listed under the officers of the United
States army of volunteers to preserve
order in the island.
