Believes II VIII Soon End-CritIcIscs the
Course of Anti Imperialist League.
Florence, Ala, Nov, tG-Genoral Joe
Wheeler, in & lct;erto Hon. W. J. Wood
of Florence stating his views on the
Philippine question, says:
II am delighted with the Philippine
islands. | have no doubt that little
push and energy this fall will crush out
the Aguinaldo instruction. Out Of
1900, 900, of people in these islands lido
not think that he has more than 20, 900
soldiers and in square 6ght 5000
Americans would tear them to pieces.
All that is necessary to crush them
out at once is for the army to get them
and keepat them until the work is done.
The 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 great variety Of climate
and VARIETY productions. Americans
will find this an excellent Geld for their
energies, and the welth producing pow
ers of these islands under American
influence will be very great.
The action of some people in the
United States in asserting that the
people of the Philippines ought to have
independence does a great deal of harm
and assists Aguinaldo in maintaining
the insurrection as he publishes all as
sertions by American of that character
and he tells his supporters that II they
hold out until winter independence
will be given them.

Paterson, n. j.. Nov. i4.-Vice Presi-
dent Hobart passed favorable night,
and the improvement that has been
observed for several days continued
today. He ate solid food with relish
and it promptly assimilated. With his
meals he took milk. and between meals
was given punches.
This is a marked change from his
condition ten days ago. At that time
he was rapidly sinking and his stom-
ach had refused food of all kinds For
several days he lived on grapes and the
juice OF grape fruit, but it soon APP
peared that his stomach was so con-
gested that he could not even take
these.
Mr. Hobart now spends most Of his
time in reclining position and he sleeps
without the aid of opiates. The most
painful and alarming feature of his
illness has been his attack of nervous
ness as night approaches. These at
tacks have decreased.
Mrs. Hobart, who has spent nearly
every minute of her time during the
past two weeks at the bedside of her
husband, feels very much encouraged
and has I'd more rest than formerly
