Wildman Forcefully Linked to Philippine War Era Duties
Consul General Wildman rose to prominence through ties to the Philippines during the Spanish American War. He knew Aguinaldo and helped foster relations between Dewey and the Filipino leader after Manila Bay’s victory. He later denied Aguinaldo’s accusations of unfulfilled promises. Wildman sent the first official Dewey victory account and played a key role in the Philippine movement. He aided Hoi How missionaries during China unrest and served as consul-general at Singapore. Born in New York, a Syracuse University graduate, he pursued prewar West assignments and was appointed from California. He was returning home on leave.
