Washington, Nov. 15.—Many intelligent Filipinos in Manila, and especially those who have been connected with the revolution, believe the Americans are prolonging the fighting with intent. They argue its continuance is beneficial to the army collectively and individually, that there are still American leaders who wish to make reputations, and, believing such to be the case, they can see no good reason why the Americans should bring their campaign to a close.

They all admit, however, that the Americans could bring about peace, and not by concessions, either, though they are not so frank as the Spanish friar in outlining the proper method.

They see no reason for the Americans to end the campaign. They admit Americans could achieve peace without concessions, though less frankly than a Spanish friar outlined.
