CRUSH THEM OUT Ar ONCE
THE AMERICAN ARMY MUST
GET AT THEM.
KEEP AT THEM TILL THE WORK IS DONE
Much of the Reports About Fighting in the
Philippines Which is Published in The
United States is Grossly
Exaggera'ed,

Florence. Ala, Nov. Cen. Wheeler
IN a letter to Hon. w. j. Wood, of Flor
ence stating his views ON the Philippine
question, says:
II am delighted with the Philippine Is
lands. | have NO doubt that a little push
and energy this fall win crush out the
Aguinaldo insurrection. Out of 9,000.-
GOO people in these islands. L do not
think that he has mere than 10000 sol
diers and in "a square fight 5000 Amer
icans would tear them to pieces. All that
is necessary to cIlSh them out at once
is for the army to get at them and keep
at them until the work is done.
''Ihe evil features of these islands have
been exaggerated to our people. Their
extent is so great from north TO south
and the variation of the altitude is such
that there is a great variety of climate
and variety of productions. Americans
will find this am excellent field for their
energies and the wealth-producinlg pow
ers of these islands under Americans in
fuence will be very great.

That people who are disposed to be favor
able to us and who desire us to govern the
islands, fear to assert themselves because
they know that if they should do so and
the Americans should abandon them they
would be in great danger of their lives
and in all probability their property
would be confscated.

DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSMAN.
MISSISSIPPI.

jackson, Miss, 10Y. 7.-Scattering re-
turns received from representative sec
tions of the State indicate a very light
vote in the Mississippi election. This
was caused 10y decided lack of interest
ON the part of the voters in their pre-
cincts and a heavy puTging of the regis
tration books i'm several counties. The
entire Democratic State ticket is elected
by a majority conServatively estimated
at 10000. THE official count will not
greatly. vary these figures. The Popu-
list vote shows a decided failing off
which will probably amount to 30 per
cent. Not over 5000 votes Were peeled
during the day. The Populists have
probably elected a IneImber of the leg
islattlre from lChoctaw county. The vote
ON the Noel amendment providing for
an elective Judiciary is decidedly close
and lit will requdre AN official count to
determine the result. Several precincts
report tie votes ON the measure. Inc
opponents of the amendment are confident
tih1t they have it defeated.
The chief interest centers in Yallobush
county where a Senatorial primary was
held in conjunction with the regular cleo
tion A bitter personal fight was made
on Senator Sullivan who is a candidate
for the short term ending March 18th,
1901. Returns from nearly all the pre-
cincts indicate that he has received the
instruction by ma jority of nearly two to
one. McIJauain received the long term
instruction by an overwhelming majority.
Jackson, Miss, Nov. THE election
passed off very quietly throughout the
State. The Democratic majority is es-
timated at 10000. Returns are very
scattering so far and indicate a close
vote on the Noel amendment for elective
judiciary.
