'hat tlie greatest responsibility for he pro longation of hostilities will those who encourage the insurgi&Jß to believe that if they hold out long enough public sentiment in America will change, the present policg be abandoned and the islands wll secure complete Independence. Mr. Bacrett ascertained In Hong Kong a month ago that the Insurgent Junta there had the most complete information from day today of the drift of Ameri can opinion. Their sole encourage* uieut is the belief that the opinion within a year will favor the abandon ment of the present policy, and for this and no other reason the insur gents will try to keep up their resist ance as long as possible. If this sup port is withdrawn no attempt will be made to resume hostilities after the rainy season, nor would there have been any resistance if the Spaniards and others hadn't created the belief among the natives that the Americans were the worst oppressors in the uni verse. Mr. Barrett had rather a good opin ion of Aguinaldo. lie said he opposed resistance until compelled to act by the young Filipinos who are officers of the army. All the older leaders like wise opposed the lighting. Many Killed in Train %Vr«ck Chatanooga, Tenn.. April 2o. —A freight train wreck occurred near Sloan's Valley, the Cincinnati Southern liailroad.
