London, April 2-4.—Mr. John Barrett,
formerly United States Minister to
Slaiu. who has recently returued from
Maniln. emphasizes the most iinpor
• .-* i* * '•••"nil i•• ih" l"'"i'v>lnc siliiiirton.
'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port is withdrawn no attempt will be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.
