FLORENCE, ALA Nov. 6-Gsneral
Joseph Wheeler, in a letter to Hon.
VIM. J. Wood, says: II am delighted
with the Philippine Islands. I have
no doubt that a little push and energy
this fall will crush out the Aguinaldo
insurrection. Out of 9, LOCO. 600 people
ia these islands I do not think that he
has more than 90 600 soldiers, and 10
a square fight 5000 Americans would
tear them to pieces. Alfthat is neces
sary to crush them out at once is for
the army to get az them and keep at
them until the work is done.
1.-The evil features of these islands
have been exaggerated to cur people.
Their extent is SO great from north to
south and the variation Of the altitude
Is such that there is a great variety OF
climate and variety Of productions.
Americans will find this an excellent
field for their energies and the wealth
producing powers of these islands, An
der American in fuence, will be 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 main
tanning insure tion, as he publishes
all assertions by Americans of that
character and he tells his supporters
that, if they hold out until winter, in
dependence will be given them
1t also has a bad effect in
this-that people who are dis
posed to be favorable to US and who
desire US to govern the islands fear to
assert themselves, because they know
that if they should do so and the Amer
leans should abandon them they would
be in danger Of their lives and in all
probability their property would be
c~onfiscated. On the OH Of September
I had a little fight with the enemy at
this point. but it did not amount to
much, although az important az some
engagements which have been dIgni6ed
in the papers as fights. I am sorry to
say that much which appears in the
papers Of the u 1ited States is gross ex,
sggeration. / expect to be on hand for
Congress. With high regards, , etc.
