OPTIMISM AT MANILA.
Army Cmcers FeIicitate Upon the Numer-
GUS Surrenders and Captures of Fill
pinOs That Are Being Made.

Manila, Jan. 15.-Optimism is TAX
ing the place of conservatism among
the military men here, the cause be-
ing the numerous surrenders, cap
lures and destruction of insurgent
camps, coupled with the increasing
understanding of the Americans in
tentions among the natives, the
propagation of the principles of the
federal party and the knowledge that
they are approved by the United
States Philippine commission and the
military authorities, and that the
carrying out of the terms of Gen.
MacArthur's proclamation, CHASING
all who do things inimical to the in
terests of the army as rebels and
traitors, are having pointed effect
with the offering of local autonomy
and protection and showing the GER
tainty of the punishment of those
who remain rebellious.
The cutting of communications and
supplies has destroyed the remnants
of the insurgents organization. The
inhabitants of the towns are disin-
clined to any longer contribute Sc
cretly to a hopeless cause, and it is
generally believed that the pacifca-
ton of number of provinces to in
augurate general scheme of provin-
cial government will be accomplished
before many more weeks have
elapsed. The most pronounced re-
sistance at present is in remote south
ern Luzon, northern Mindanao, Cebu
and Boho1.
