Show WAR WILL SOON END. Insurgents Are Convinced That it is Useless to Oppose Uncle Sam. Washington, March 20. Advices have been received from Manila which indicate that the climax may occur at any hour. The officials here are very well pleased with the condition of affairs, af-fairs, but will not at present discuss the details of the dispatches. The indications in-dications are that hostilities may end within a very short time. . President McKinley has been so advised. The reasons for the belief of General Otis that a climax might come at any hour were Dot stated, but his assumption assump-tion was based on the favorable reports he had received from various sources that the Filipinos were tired of the war and Aguinaldo's leadership. It is believed at the war department that the method in which the Americans have conducted the fighting has done much to convince the Filipinos of the uselessness of trying to drive out the United States forces. The fighting has been of different character from that to which they were accustomed when the Spaniards were in possession of Manila. |
