Washington, March 8.—By diree- tion of the acting secretary of war. |Mr. Meiklejohn, instructions have been sent to Major General Otis, to return to the United States some time in May one battalion each of the Fourteenth, Highteenth and Twenty-third infantry. The withdrawal of these troops was recommended by Major General Miles several months ago. He point- ed out tothe department that three regiments designated would have been two yearsin the Philip- pines in June There is doubt that the decision of the partment to withdraw three battal- ions, which number more than 1,200 men, is influenced to some extent by next. no de- the disorganization of the rebel army | and the prospect that the American troops will no longer meet with re- sistance from an organized force. Notwithstanding the action of the department in ordering home these battalions, officers who have served in the Philippines returned, say that this must not be taken to mean that the rebellion has been suppressed. The insurgents are operating in smail forces, which scatter at the approach of American troops, but reassemble and attack whenever a good opportunity pre- sents itself. A well known officer in Luzon, in writing to a friend in this city, gives itashis opinion that the rebellion will not be entirely suppressed in less than ten years.
