Washington, Sept. 16.—The following dispatches were received to-day from General Otis:
Manila, Sept. 16,—Adjutant General, Washington:
In my opinion, based upon present indications, no further force required. Insurgent leaders in politics and army in excitable frame of mind, but better portion amenable to reason and desire to make approved reputation before civilized world.
Otis, Commanding.

Insurgents have acceded to demand and evacuated entire city of Manila, except small force in one outlying district. No difficulty anticipated and no concessions made to them. They express strong desires to maintain friendly intercourse with United States government in all particulars. They organized Congress Thursday, at Malalos, twenty miles north of this city, to frame plan of government.
Manila very quiet. Military government being perfected gradually and large force policing and cleansing city. Health of command satisfactory. Trade and commerce active. Treasury receipts since August 13th, $40,000, Mexican current money.
