WHERE RESPONSIBILITY RESTS London, April 22. John Barrett, American ex-minister io Stam, who lately returned from Manila, says there, can be no doubt but L'nat the greatest responsibilky for the prolongation of hostilities rests on those who encourage the insurgents to believe that if they hold out long enough, public sentiment in American will change and the islands will receive independence. The insurgent junta at Hon Kong has complete information from day to. day as to the drift ot opinion, and tihefr sole encouragement isLthe belief that wttMn a year public opinion will change. If this moral support is withdrawn, no attempt will be made to resume hosfciiitiee after the rainy season.
