A Letter From (?eu. Wheeler.
NASHVILLE, TENN., Oct. 20.-Tho
following letter lins boen received from
Gen. Joe Wheeler, in tho Philippines:
Suntu Roto, lalo of Luzon.
September in, 1800.
Van Leer Kirkman.
My Dear Young Cousin: I have now
seen much of thc country and the peo
ple in that part ol' Luzon for about 50
miles north ol' Manila. In every town
there isa magnificent stone church and
a convent or monastery. The insur
gents have a great antipathy to the
priesthood of Friars, and they have
dismantled many of the churches. The
value of the church und monastery of
a town seems to be equal in many cases
to tho value of all thc; other buildings
in tho town. The more 1 talk to the
people, the mon; 1 am convinced that
tho insurgents are actuated, in a meas
ure, by a spirit of communism, and in
their talks, their most serious objection
to tho church seems to bc thc fact that
ecclesiastical organizations own so
much of tho property, and ono of Agui
naldo's most earnest demands is that
tho church property bo confiscated.
There is a general impression that
the insurgent army is made up very
largely ot people without property,
and that people who have property de
sire tho Americans to control, so that
they can have protection and feel that
their property is secured to them; but
I find that there is sonic fear or appre
hension among some of the wealthy
that if Americans control and give uni
versal suffrage the power of the wealthy
Scopie would bo taken away and their
old on property very much impaired.
I think that if the wealthy people would
be assured that they would be protected
in their property rights by the United
States it would have a very good effect.
Tho Friars and priests arc charged
with all sorts of oppressions and mis
demeanors; but it must be remembered
that Friars and priests aro very numer
ous, and in so large a body, there will
bo found every possible phase of char
acter nnd disposition. Some of them
are, no doubt, oppressors of tho people,
exacting in the collection of rentals
from tho lands, indulging themselves
in many ways and leading lives very
different from what should character
ize tho lifo of a priest; but there are
very niany good men among them.
Tho statement that I have seen that 70
per cent, of the people of Luzon can
read and write is a great mistake. It
may bo true of many, but it is not true
of those in the rural districts and the
percentage of illiteracy in tho other
islands is much greater than in Luzon.
The appearance, mode of life and
method of performing work are to-day
very much like they aro described in
the Bible at tho time of and even be
fore tho Christian era.
The people dress very much ns they
did two thousand years ago. To-day I
spent some time in watching natives
cleaning shucks from rice; tho method
of shelling and cleaning is primitive
and no better than used 2,000 years
ago. Everything can bo grown, but
oranges and bananas aro not so good as
in other localities, thc reason no doubt
being that they seem to give them no
cultivation whatever. Cottee is grown
which is said to bc superior to Mocha.
Rice is tho principal product and a
failure of that crop would cause a ter
rible famine, as the people depend al
most entirely upon it for food. Sugar
is the principal crop for export. The
greatest amount exported in an> one
y oar was 201,081 tuns, which was in
1803. Corn grows very rapidly and the
cars reach their full growth about 00
days from tho time of planting. There j
is a great amount of very valuable, I
timber in these islands and many va
rieties of beautiful hardwoods under ,
native names such as mahogany, black
walnut and ebony.
Gold, copper, coal, iron, sulphur^ lead,
building stone, petroleum and guano I
are found.
There are many different tribes liv
ing in these islands, the only ones in
active rebellion being tho Tagalos.
This tribe occupies some eight prov
inces in the neighborhood of .Manila,
and their association with Europeans
has made them more civilized than
other tribes.
Wo nro now seven or eight miles
from Porac, where an insurgent force
has been stationed for some time, but
around hore and through this vast val
ley the people are actively engaged in
planting rice. I have been riding
around tho outskirts of this place and
the fields are dotted with men, women
and children planting rice.
I am confident that a brigade of cav
alry could easily travel through a great
part of the island.
The Suez canal brought thc Philip
pines much nearer to Europe and has
greatly increased their commerce. The
exports of hemp have greatly increased.
In 1882 44,205 tons of hemp were ex
ported, which bas increased until there
were exported in 1807 112,785 tons and
this output can be largely increased.
The shipments of coffee gradually in
creased until the year 1880 when thc
amount exported amounted to 7,337
tess, and from 1860 to 1800 the ship
ments averaged about 6,000 tous a year,
but from thi ' :me they have fallen off.
I learn the -Oilowing about cotton
from reliable sources :
The cotton tree is found growing in
an uncultivated state in many islands
of tho archipelago. Long staple cot ton
was formerly extensively cultivated in
tho province of Illocos Norte, when
many years ago large quantities of
good cotton st nd's were exported. This
industry still exists.
The cultivation of this staph; was,
however, discouraged by tho local gov-1
ernors in order to urgo the planting of ;
tobacco for the government supplies, i
It has sinco become d?ihcuH to revive ;
the cotton production, although nn :
essay, in pamphlet fomi (for which a j
prizo was awarded iu Madrid) was i
gratuitously distributed over the col- ?
ony in 1888 with that object in view. |
Nevertheless cotton spinning and
weaving are still Curried on on a re
duced scale, in the Illocos provinces
.(Luzon) west coast.
Wild cotton is useless for spinning l
as tho staple is extremely short, but
perhaps by hybridization and careful
attention its culture might become
valuable to the colony.
The pod is elliptical and tho cotton
which burst from it at maturity is snow
white. It is used for stuffing pillows
and mattresses.
It is a common thing to seo wild cot
ton trees planted along tho high road :
to servo as telegraph posts; by tho ?
time the seed is fully ripe every leaf j
has fallen and nothing but tho burst- j
ing pods remaining hanging to thc !
branches. I
With regards.
Sincerely yours, I
JOSEPH. WHEELER,
The State's Watered Liquor.
BARNWELL, S. C., October 20.-Tho
monstrosity produced by Tillman's per
version <?t tho Gothenburg plan of
liiiuor selling is resulting in general
political nausi'u oven among tho faith
ful, except as to those whose stomachs
are uusually strong und 1U0 proof
against political and moral putrescence
ot' all kinds.
It is remarked ns somewhat peculiar
that Ouzts, who has anatomized tho
dispensary skeleton with tho minute
ness or! detail ot' Dottie in his account
of the London plague, bas not touched
on Hie watering of the liquor. Col. J.
.1. Brown, of this pince, and another
wrote a letter last your ortho your
Indore to Commissioner Vance, inquir
ing as to the trudi of the report that
they watered the whiskey before bot
tling.
Vance replied, "Yes, it was true, but
that the water was chemically pure,
being carefully boiled before adding to
the liquor," Ho said, "They added
one barrel of water to every four bar
rels of 100 proof liquor.-' Tho natural
question that then aros?? but which
Mr. Vance never solved was, Who
got tho profit on the 100 gallons of
water to every 400 gallonsof whiskey so
treated?
In the board of control's accounts
with the .State did they credit the
State with the surplus so'gained, or, if
not, where did this immense sum of
money lind lodgment?-??pedal to News

As each century draws near its close
there is much controversy as to when
the next century will begin.
For more than a year past there has
been a lively dispute over the question
whether the twentieth century will be
gin January 1, 1000, or January 1, 1901.
Newspapers and Magazines have pub
lished innumerable communications on
this subject; it has been discussed
around thousands of family tiresides and
by many debating societies. Strange
to say, the disputants have been about
equally divided between the two dates.
We say this is strange, for it would
seem to bo a very easy matter to de
termine when a century begins.
It is cause for congratulation that
the Chicago Tribune has made a publi
cation which will go far toward Kettling
this mooted question. The Tribune
appealed to Professor W. H. M. Chris
tie, director of the Royal Observatory,
at Greenwich, for an authoritative
statement ns to when the next century
will begin, and has received in reply
the following cablegram from that
eminent authority:
Boyal Observatory, Greenwich, Lon
don.
October 21, l!S99.
Editor of the Tribune:
In reply to your inquiry I beg to in
form you that the twentieth century
begins on .January 1, 1001. It has been
generally agreed to call the first year
of the Christ ian ora Anno Domini 1,
not A. D. 0, mid consequently the
second century begins with A. D. 101,
100 years after the beginning of the
tirst year, nud so on for the succeeding
centuries!
The question was fully discussed at
the Century dinner at Glasgow on April
15, 1870, when tho Lord D eau of tho
Guild, after quoting various author
ities, gave his decision as arbiter that
the nineteenth century did not com
mence till Jnuuary 1, 1801. An account
of this meeting was printed for private
circulation at the time. Yours faith
fully, W. II. M. ClIKISTIE,
Astronomer Royal.
It appears, then, that the scientific
world is agreed that the twentieth cen
tury begins January 1, 1901.
Suppose wc let it go at that and re
joice in the assurance that wo, will have
a whole year duo ns from the nine
teenth century after the present year
has gone.
Fitzhugh Lee on Cuba.
WASHINGTON*, October 2!).-Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee, who is in the United
States on a vacation from his post in
Cuba, is in the city on his way South,
lie is accompanied by his son. To
morrow night Gen. Lee expects togo
to Richmond to witness th?; launching
of the Shubrick, but will return to
j Washington on Wednesday. In an in
terview be says the people of Cuba are
; steadily improving under the existing
; protectorate of the United States, ami
! are slowly, but surely, rebuilding their
? war-wasted homes and repairing their
? crippled fortunes. Life and property
I are secure in Cuba, owing largely, he
I said, to the salutary restraint exercised
i by American military authority. He
thinks the time not yet ripe, however,
for a purely Cuban government.
"Cuba," said Gen. Lee, "is improving.
Tho Cubans are tractable and quiet,
and tho revolution has given them self
assurance and self-reliance. Their
impulses are generally in the right <li
; rection, but, of ?-ourse, both in thc the
i ory and practice of self-government
! ?hey aire, whoiiy without experience.
There is anions certain Cubans a <leep
seated prejudice against some mon,
who, the Cubans think, oppressed Cu
bans under Spanish rule, and if given a
free rein the Cubans would make sinnt
work of thom. Tho United States
Government is pledged to grant inde
pendence to Cuba after the island has
been pacified, and I believe that prom
ise, .should be fulfilled just as swiftly as
we can in reason and justice; *
"The industrial situation is improv
ing and money is gradually going into
Cuba, but nothing like as fast as it
would if investors were sun; that prop
erty would remain safe for veals to
come ami bo protected by a Govern
ment strong enough to enforce law and
order."
Gen. Lee declined to discuss political
affairs in Cuba and whether or not the
Cubans ?Iesirc<l independence or annex
ation.
