United States Dilemmas in Philippine Policy Post Spain Armistice
Washington August 4 The administration faces a crucial question on how to treat Philippine insurgents if peace with Spain is reached and U S forces occupy Manila and surrounding areas. A key issue is whether to permit Aguinaldo’s forces to resist occupation or to expel them, while also considering whether to preserve the status quo in the islands pending peace commission decisions. The lack of reliable information on insurgent scope across the 1200 island group and a population estimated at 8 to 15 million complicates plans for ensuring order and preventing excesses by insurgents.
