Manila November 20-General Wheeler
has decided not to return for congress.
He is writing letter to President Nc
Kinley with request that it he forward
ed to the house of representatives. In the
course OF an interview with correspond
cnt of the Associated Press, he said:
Congress, If it occupies the first day of
the session in passing a resolution de-
claring in unmstakable terms that the
sovereignty OF the United States is to be
maintained in the Philippines, thus dis
polling Aguinaldo's Illusion that the anti
imperialists can assist him, will be per-
forming sacred duty. Such a resolution
would save the lives of many American
soldiers and of thousands of deluded Fill
pinos; would avert famine and suffering
from those Islands, and would render un-
necessary the expenditure of hundreds Of
millions of dollars"
