Washington Letter on Kept Confronting Empire and War
From our regular correspondent at Wasmineroy in July 1900, a warning that an extra Congress session may be needed to handle China, with McKinley unlikely to declare war. The piece critiques imperial policy, U.S. troop withdrawal from Cuba, and a $100,000 offer for Philippine islands, arguing for constitutional government and a choice between republic and empire. It notes missionary murders and the fate of Americans in Pekin, plus Democratic calls for adherence to the Constitution and anti imperial stance.
