Gen. Joe Wheeler IN 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 Agulnaldo's rule.
Aguinaldo and his generals would like
10 govern. because II 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. IL We should withdraw
there would be warfare and anarchy In
the Islands and the well-,o-do would get
some strong government 10 come and
take control.
"Agulnaldo publishes a paper, which
Is filed with expressions from people
Of the United States who are called an.
tl-imperialists, and, ] think, We're IL not
for these expressions, the instruction
would b. closed"
