Philippine Quest to Retain Control Pending Disposition of Islands
Washington July 20. Secret signals from the Spanish American Commission show a plan to refer much of the Philippine question to a joint American Spanish commission while the United States would retain Manila and its harbor pending decision. The note also indicates the Ladrones may be ceded to the United States with U S sovereignty to be defined later. Admiral Dewey reports Aguinaldo’s defiant stance and warns 150,000 troops would be needed to subdue insurgents across the islands. Various conditions stall final disposition including unknown terms of peace and insurgent unity.
