WHAT WHEELER THINKS.
Gives His Views Regarding the Philippine
Problem.

Under the caption, What to do With
the Philippines, General Joseph
Wheeler contributes Leslies weekly a
lengthy article on the situation in the
islands as he observed it during his
service there. lie says in part:
Il believe that the back of the rebel
lion in the Philippines is broken; there
will be little more to do in a military
way There will be some guerrilla
warfare, but it will not amount to
much. As for Aguinaldo, do not con-
slider him patriot. lie was fighting
for great prize. Had he won, he
would have been a powerful emperor
a mighty dictator.
As far as possible | believe that we
should establish civil government in
the Philippines. | am in favor of ter
ritorial government, and | see nothing
ineongruous in making these various
islands into territories.

WILL FIGHT BOLIVIA.
PEOPLE OF ACRE DECLARE FOR
IND DEPENDENCE.
The Attempt OF Brazil 10 Force tho Peop,e
OF Acre to submit to bolivia Is
Strongly Opposed and War
May Result.

A dispatch from Rio Janeiro saws;
Inc chiefs Of the revolutionary gov
ernment at Acre have requested the
withdrawal OF all the brazilian forces
naval and military, affirming that free
brazilians will never become Bolivian.
The request, or protest, ends thus.
Independence or death. Long live the
free state of Acre" 1t is signed by
twelve chiefs.
There is serious danger OF complica-
lions between the state government of
Amazonas and the general government
at Rio Janeiro, owing to the fact that
the people of the Amazon valley, as
well as the state government, are in
favor of aiding the Brazilans of Acre,
estimated at 1900, againstthe Bolivian
government and the insignificant Bo-
hvian population OF Acre, estimated at
fewer than 1000.
The people of the state of Para are
bitterly opposed to the Intervention of
the central government in favor of the
bolivian authorities in Acre, and the
deputies of Para and Amazonas, headed
BY DIR. lnnoeencio Sersodello, former
cabinet minister, will firmly oppose all
interests by the Brazilian military
forces.
Letters received from the city of
Acre, formerly Puerto Alonza, say the
independent state of Acre has sent
diplomatic notes to the governments of
Austria-Hungary, Germany, Italy,
Great Britain France, Spain, Switzer-
land and Portugal, requesting them to
recognize the independence of the new
state.
The preliminary sessions of the new
congress will begin in April, but al
ready enough is known to demonstrate
the fact that never before in the history
OF Brazil We're such fraud and corrup-
ton practiced as in the recent cleo
tions.

WHY ROBERTS is QUIET.
Is Afraid to Leave the orange Free State
at the Present Time.


The continued absence of aggressive
movement on the part of the British is
best explained in dispatch from
Bloemfontein dated Sunday, March
25th, and published in the second edi.
tion of the Times, 1t says:
The conditions existing in the oc-
cupied territory render imperative the
somewhat prolonged i.alt at Bloemfon-
tein. 1t is necessary that the effect of
the proclamation should have time to
make itself felt.
1T is said the danger of annoyance
to the line of communication may be
apprehended unless the territory be-
hind the advancing forces is rendered
absolutely secure the accuracy of
this view is proved by the fact of the
enemy's breaking up into isolated
groups such rs that which attacked
the guard officers Friday.
The adjustment of financial and
municipal matters in the Free State is
now chiefly occupying the attention of
the governor and his legal and finan-
cial advisers. The military regime is
being conducted with great smooth
uess. but recent Investigations show
that caution must be exercised in deal
ing with persons apparently loyal"
