The American Monthly Review of Reviews discusses a U S approach to the Philippines after the war. It favors English methods over French models and outlines: repatriating Spanish soldiers with private shipping contracts, persuading insurgents to release prisoners and disband, reducing American troop presence, and establishing Anglo-Saxon style justice and governance.
