These answers show a very decided opinion that more troops must be sent to Manila and that the number should be enough to quickly overwhelm the rebels, whether the number be 50,000 0r 100,000. The feeling is prac- tically universal that the pres- ent policy is more costly in lives and less creditable to the coun- try than it would be to raise the army fto 100,000 men or more, hurry them to the Philip- pines and utterly destroy the rebels in one short, sharp cam- paign. There is an impatient desire to see the end of the war and a willingness to cheer- fully stand by the President in raising as many thousand more men as may be needed to bring that end quickly.
