TUK PHILIPPINE QUESTION. Another Strong Statement ?rom Gen eral Wheeler of Actual Condi tion In th I.dands. WASHINGTON, Peo. 1-Gewrai Jo Wbeeler In a personal letter received her, dated at Angles, Lurm, says: "There are more than 20 different tribes in this Island and very few of them would submit to Aguinaldo's rule. Agutnaldo and hi gvnerals would like to arvern, because it would Rive them treat power and many of hi soldier like war because for the first time In their lives they have authority to tarry a sun. "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. If we should withdraw there wauld be warfare and anarchy In the island and the well-to-do would gt aom strong government to come and take control. "Agulnaldo publishes a paper which U filled with expreterione from people in the United States who are called anti- Imperialists and I think were it not for theee expressions the insurrection would be closed."
