NO CRUELTY.
Gen. Wheeler Saw None. Prac-
ticed on the Fl|ipinoS.

New York April 29.-In a lengthy inter-
view. General Joseph Wheeler, retired.
who is at the home Of his sister in Brook
lyn, discusses the Philippines In the light
OF recent developments from his point
OF view, after six months service there
In command OF brigade.
I'VE had great many fights with the
Insurgents" he said but in no instance
was there any cruelty by our soldiers. or.
as far as / know, any killing except ac-
cording TO the rules Of war.
Il never heard OF any water cure or any
other infliction OF torture upon the Fill
pinos."
us 1t true" he was asked, that Sher-
mans army on It's march 10 the sea, was
guilty OF such acts as have been at
tributcd 10 our troops I'm the Philippines
1t is true that Shormans army did
burn buildings but | never heard OF its
ever killing or hurting a non-combatant,
replied General Wheeler thoughtfully.
MY association with the Filipinos,' he
continued, lied me TO believe that they
are not a malevolent people.
1T is true, they were not always frank,
and this was due TO the fact that the
insurgent chiefs were constantly demand
ing Information and money from them.
There were some instances of cruelty
on the part of the Filipinos, but they
were few.
MY impression was that the F'ilipinos
are responsive TO kind methods and APP
preciate them, and their general ex-
pressons 10 me were that they should
love 10 be citizens OF the United States,
II they can be equals OF the Americans,
but they do not want TO be connected
with any government where they will be
regarded as interiors"
In your opinion he was asked, can
the United States assimilate the Fill
pinos without exterminating them
with the exception of a few localities
peace and quiet and order exist in the
Philippines now. quite up to the standard
OF our own territories, and | am con-
vinced this condition will exist throughout
these islands in a very short time.
Americans will go there because they
find advantages that are offered by few
countries, and In a few years they will
be the controlling element in those ISL
ands.

An Unfinished Story.

The Rev. DR.. John Henry Barrows,
president of Oberlin college. who formerly
preached to a Chicago congregation. tells
a little story concerning an experience of
his own that may be worth passing along.
IL was at the time that DR.. Barrows was
making arrangements for the holding OF
the great congress of religions here. He
had an immense correspondence TO take
care of, and found IL necessary TO employ
a stenographer. The young lady was,
pretty. II is not TO be inferred that thee
are any but pretty lady stenographers,
but the one employed by Dr. Barraws
was especially comely.
The doctor fitted up a workroom on the
thord floor OF his house. where he and the
stenographer toiled hard day after day
undisturbed by callers and well away
from the noises of the streets.
The work of preparing for the congress
was still going forward on the 14th Of
February, when the doctors little son be-
came excited over the sending and receiv-
ing OF valentines. The boy had been run
ming about the neghborhood handing love
tokens TO the children he knew and
many had come TO him, when he remem-
bered that he had father up on the
third floor. i'm addition to the One in
heaven. Going to his mother, he proposed
that they send up valentine.
We'll" said Mrs. Barrows. 1T Is very
rec of you to remember father. How
voulo II do for me to write valentine
for him and let you take ID up?''
The boy was delighted at the idea and
his mother wrote upon sheet Of paper:
Please kiss the bearer"
This she placed in an envelope. which
was properly sealed and addressed 10 the
doctor. The boy started upstairs with his
valentine but he had been running
around good deal during the morning
and his legs were weary When he had
reached the second floor he met the pret-
~ stenographer. who had started out
after postage stamps or something, and
asked II she wouldn't be kind enough TO
hand the note to his father
She took the envelope, gave the child a
pat on the cheek and ran back upstairs,
where-perhaps prompted by feminine
curiosity-she waited while DIR. Barrows
opened his valentine and read, In his
wifes handwriting:
please kiss the bearer"
Here Is where DIR. Barrows always cuts
the story off.-Chicago Record-Herald.
