GEN WHEELER AS A
WRITER.
Another Letter in Which he Ad-
vocates Annexation of Philip
pines.

IluntsNllle, Ala, Nov ~. In
n letter from Santa Rita, Luzon,
to an admirer in this city, Gen
Joseph Wheeler discusses condi>
tions in the islands. He advo-
Gates their annexation.
Gen Wheeler writes: "The
time Is passed for the people of
the United States to discuss the
question of what is to he done
with the Philippines. While we
have not advanced far into the
country, yet the territory control
led by the United States contains
more than a million people. We
have the people to understand
that we .are here to remain and
very many OF them have commits
ted themselves to as. If we were
to abandon the country, these
people who desire American pro
lection will be subjected to all
kinds of reprisals, their property
would be 'nfscated and many of
them killed.
"For us to go on and conquer
the country and then withdraw
our army and abandon the country
would make matters worse than to
leave it now. We would have in
duced more people to adhere to
US and therefore would leave more
people to become the victims of
revenge.
"There is another vie ,: We
drove out the Spaniards who had
been the governing power nearly
400 ears. For US to withdraw
would leave a condition of anarchy
and foreigners who own property
in the country would have GER
talnly strong moral claim
against the United States for
their losses.
81 think the people generally
want peace. OF course Aguinal-
do and his officers are reluctant to
yield their power and many of
their soldiers are pleased with
their duties, as for the first time
in their lives they have guns and
with the conniyance of the officers
are permitted to rob the people
and commit outrages. Under a
good government this country
would be one of wealth and our
with it would be of
great benefit to the United
"The evil feature of these is
lands have been exaggerated.
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
production. Americans will find
this ar excellent field for ener.
gles."

Prohibition Bill Passes in the
HDuss-Wild Enthusiasm.

Atlanta, Ga, Nov 22-The
WiIlingham prohibition bill passed
the house this afternoon 90 to 65.
In the galleries the enthusiasm was
almost wild and it was some min,
utes before order could be re
stored.
A dispensary bill, a substitute
was overwhelmingly defeated.
The bill as passed, provides for
a general prohibition throughout
the State and contains only such
amendments as its friends offered.
1t goes to the senate tomorrow
and there will be another battle
royal over the measure before that
body.

AGUINALDO ESCAPES.
Generals Young and Wheaton
Failed to Close in on Him,

AOpchI IS' Iudt ASulDalUO, with q
party OF 200, including some wo.
men and few carts passed Aringy
on the coast bet ween San Fabian
and San Fernando in the province
of Union on Friday, Nov II. The
general adds that Aguinaldo prob>
ably intends to strike inland
through the Binqua mountains
toward Bayombong, in the prov>
ince of Nueva Visaya.
General Young, with cavalry
and Msccabees, is pursuing the
Filipino leader, part of the Ameri
can force taking the direction of
Ban Fernandinh. In a fight with
Agulnaldo's rear guard at Aringy
one Maccsbbee was wounded and
the insurgents retreated. Their
loss is unknown.
The opinion of many military
men and of resident foreigners is
that Aguinaldo has probably
escaped by changing the seat of
war into the northern part of the
island. They think he has taken
a considerable army with him.
This, if true, will necessi.
tite n new series of operations on
oul part, and Aguinaldo has gained
a temporary strategic advantage.
Those holding this view point out
the fact that the insurgents never
intended to hold the alleged capi.
tai at Tarlac as permanent capital,
as it ssAs only slightly fortified.
They also claim that the railroad
bridge left intact while much
rolling stock was burned aud de-
stroyed indicate that rapid re
treat was made several weeks
back.
This retreat must have been
accomplished at the time Lawton
began his San Isidro movement.
Therefore the insurgents have had
time to move out their principal
supplies and munitions. 1t is
also fact that our circle of troops
has been closed up so far without
material resistance, except in the
region of escape to the north,
near Wheaton's column. The
captured supplies, too, have
proved insignificant compared
with those that would be required.
Aguinaldo's supposed army in
this valley was estimated at from
10, 600 to 10000 men. Their
known large quantities of artillery
are still unaccounted for.
The opinions f General OTIS
and General Schwan differ some
what from this view. They say
today that they do not know
whether or not Aguinaldo, with
his army, has escaped into the to-
bacco valley to the north. If so,
they doubt whether he has escaped
with any considerable force. They
believe that Aguinaldo himself
has gone. They also believe that
a considerable number of the in
surgent force is scattered In small
bands within our lines q. amigos
Generals Otis and Sch van think
that within twenty -four hours we
will control the Manila Dagupan
valley. The occupation of this
territory is now more of me.
chanical than military problem.
General Otis says that the rail
road repairs will be rushed. New
rails will be laid and the bridges
raised. The railroad will be
operated throughout in a short
time.
The general opinion here is that

at seems almost incredible that in

A. S. Hall, formerly hardware mer-
chant Of Olympia, who is interested
with z. w. Tonneson, of Tacoma, in a
mammoth apple orchard proposition
at Rainier in Thurston County. In
speaking of the undertaking he gave
the Ledger the following information
"All the 1000 apple trees which we
planted in the spring on % acres out
of a forty acre tract are doing we'll,
and what is remarkable about them,
not one has showed any signs of weak
ness
"Before we located our orchard at
Rainier / made a trip all over the state
and concluded that Western Wash
ington was good enough for me. We
are putting 1000 acres into apples and
may have in more, because we own
1000 acres altogether, Mr.. Tonneson
being interested with me in l $3.50.
"To show what is being done in the
fruit line by our neighbors, George H.
McGeer has APO acres adjoining our
property, and on part of his land he
has 2,7O0 prune trees. There are 15,-
600 trees in the ground around us.
Mr.. Palmer has 5000; Mr.. Burke $500
and Mr.. Hatchell, 1000. Most of
these are pfunes.
"Mr. Burke's orchard contains some
40 Baldwin apple trees loaded almost
to breaking down. At four years old
they produced for him $50 boxes, and
he had about the same crop each of
the two following years.
"Of our own trees fully 1,5OO of the
1900 planted are of the Olympia Bald
win variety. This is an apple, the
originating of which is accredited to
George Langredge, of Olympia, They
are very fine apples.
"When you consider that we are

China and Japan for our American
fruit products, we have a most ad-
vantageous location. 1t would cost us
twenty-five cents more to ship from
eastern Washington to the Puget
Sound market, and the Orient, whereas
we can ship East for the same rate as
they can get IN eastern Washington,
you can begin to see we have things
considerably in our favor. But the
market am looking forward to is
China and Japan, and those two coun-
tries will yet afford to this state a
most profitable resource in its fruit
possibilities.

FOREIGN MONEY ORDERS.
Nearly one thoussnd bags Of European N

reached New-York yesterday from Boston. having
been brought to that city on Thursday by the
Dominion liner New-England. This was about the
first time in the recollection OF the postofhce
ployes that European mail has come by way Of
Boston II was owing in part 20 the temporary
withdrawal Of number OF North German Lloyd
steamers which are being overhauled. and TO tho
withdrawal Of the Majestic. Of the White Star
Line, for use as transport. The usual number OF
bags transatlantic steamer Is from six hun
dred 10 eight hundred. but the New England
brought 2040, which Is believed TO be a record
breaker The heavy mail is ascribed In part 10 the
exchange of Christmas greetings and Christmas
correspondence. Four hundred and forty bags ar
rived from Boston yesterday morning at o'clock,
and the remainder came in the afternoon.
Besides the money transmitted IN Europe at the
Christmas season through the medium of pOstofice
money orders large amount is sent abroad IN
the form OF foreign exchange. The Germans Ital-
fans Poles and people Of other natonalities desir
ing to forward Christmas gifts OF money TO reia-
tives in their native lands, II they do not obtain
money orders at the postofice, buy exchange from
the small bankers speaking their own tongues and
doing business In their own neghborhoods The
small bankers In turn buy the exchange from the
large downtown foreign exchange houses. which
thus act wholesalers II is next to impossible
TO obtain estimate OF the total amount repre-
sented by these purchases, but the aggregate is
much larger than 1t has been at this season for
several years past.
