WHEELER ON THE: PHILIPPINES Hr Thinks They' Should Be Given Territorial Form of Government. New York, March 27. Under the caption, What to do With the Philippines, General Joseph Wheeler contributes to this weeks Issue of Leslies Weekly a lengthy article on the situation in the islands. He says in part: I believe that the hack of the rebellion in the Philippines is broken; there will be little more to do in a military way. There will be some guerilla warfare, but it will not amount to much.

As for Aguinaldo, I do not consider him a' patriot. He was fighting for a great prize. Had he won, he would have been a powerful emperor, a mightly dictator. As far a possible, I believe that we should establish civil government in the Philippines. I am in favor of territorial government, and I see nothing incongruous in making these various islands into territories.

The group should be divided into three or four territories. Many of the tribes are already fit for self government in local affairs, and under territorial governors appointed by us they would get along very well, I am sure I consider the Filipinos a very superior people a people of great possibilities. They are ambitious, many of them have been finely educated In Europe; they are not to be spoken of in the same breath with the Africans, so -far as their possibilities go. They are, too, easily governed, and with the fair treatment which they will receive from us we shall have no trouble with them. But they are sensitive and are unwilling to be treated as inferiors.

They are a little distrustful of us. Playtime. With hop and (tick a little maid In an old garden, laughing, played; Actom the lawn ahe swiftly rim And dam the path, aa maidens dan. Mid rosea yenow, roses red. And round the sun dial gray ahe sped.
