Gen. Joe Wheeler In a personal letter
received here dated at Angeles, Luzon,
says
There are more than 20 different
tribes In this island, and very few OF
them would submit to Agplnaldos rule,
Aguinado and his generals would like
to govern, because Il would give them
great power. and many Of his soldiers
like the war because for the first time
IN their lives they have authority TO
carry a gun. They live by taking what
they want from the people, Many OF
them are robbers who rob defenseless
people OF their money, and sometimes
murder them. II we should withdraw
there would be warfare and anarchy In
the Islands and the well-to-do would get
some strong government TO come and
take control
"AguInaldo publishes a paper which
Is filed with expressions from people
OF the United States who are called an
ti-imperialists. and ] think. We're u not
for these expressions, the insurrection
would be closed"
