Wealthy risk to property in Philippine control warns US observer
Joseph Wheeler writes from Santa Rita, Luzon, describing insurgent views on church property, colonial wealth, and US control under military occupation. He notes friars’ wealth and abuses, literacy gaps, rural life, crops like sugar, hemp, and cotton, and the potential for railroads, timber, and agriculture to transform the islands. He adds mixed sentiments among landowners and locals about American suffrage and protection of property.
