Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from America and the Philippines In View of these conditions, it is not remarkable that until very recently geographers have contented themselves with enumerating the islands as about twelve hundred, an estimate made several centuries ago. This was the estimate generally accepted when the Treaty of Paris was signed between Spain and the United States, for no one had ever taken the trouble to count them. Soon thereafter accurate surveys were undertaken, with the result that the number of known islands and islets was brought up to and it is believed that there are others not on any chart. Of this number only half are of enough im portance to be named, and of those bearing names less than one fourth are populated. More than go per cent. Of the total land area is contained in the eleven largest islands. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Decade of American Government in the Philippines, 1903-1913 The possession of the Philippines came suddenly and unexpectedly to the American people. A succession Of events which were not anticipated, but which could not properly be avoided, bound the islands to us. In Apiil 1898, war was commenced to end Spanish domination in Cuba, but the first blow was struck in the Far East. For a long period the United States had kept a small squadron in Asiatic waters, and at the beginning of the war, no American naval base then existing, it was gathered at Hongkong. The British government, complying with its duty as a neutral, ordered the American Ships to depart. Three possible directions were open to the Navy Depart ment: interne at Hongkong and remain under British control for the period of the war; return to the United States, passing from port to port for those limited supplies of fuel which international regulations permit; or take a base from the enemy. This last course was adopted, and on May 1, Commodore Dewey entered the harbor of Ma nila, destroyed the Spanish fleet, and captured the naval station at Cavite.

Download or read book The Philippines Under Spanish and American Rules Classic Reprint written by C. H. Forbes-Lindsay and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-17 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Philippines Under Spanish and American Rules For my statements regarding industries, resources, etc., I have depended, in the main, upon the ample sources of information afforded by the U. S. War Department, having been taught by experience to regard them as the most reliable. I have avoided polemic discussion, because there are others much better qualified than myself to pass opinion on the controversial questions connected with the Philippines; but that the reader, who will natu rally look for some such expressions in a book of this kind, may be satisfied, I have fully remedied the deficiency on my part by inserting a chapter of ex tracts from public addresses delivered by the Honor able William H. Taft, who is recognized as the fore most authority on our insular possessions in the Pacific. These addresses are the most direct, logical, and consistent statements of the conditions and pros peets in the Philippine Islands, as well as the most clear and unequivocal expression of the policy of the American Government towards those islands. I much regret that. The quotations are, necessarily, limited to a few brief extracts and strongly recommend the reading of the addresses in extenso to all who would have a clear idea of our relations to the Philippines and the problems involved in their administration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Duty of the American People: As to the Philippines It has occurred to the writer to connect together a'few facts that everybody knows by means of a few thoughts that every one entertains. He has not attempted a discussion of political economy or of international law. The ideas set down in the following pages are only those that seem to grow naturally out of the new condi tions created by the record breaking achievement of Admiral Dewey. The first Sunday of May, 1898, opened a new vista' by which to forecast the events of the Twentieth Century. Since the adop tion of its Constitution the government of our United States had agricultural land to give or to sell to all comers, until within the last few years. Since the government land offices were closed many new 'doctrines have been heard; Socialism, Anarchism, etc. It may be that in the wisdom of the Power that overrules the actions of men, Admiral Dewey has been the appointed means by which the solutions of these questions shall be deferred for another hundred years or until they can be answered by a generation that is wiser than we. If in such connection a few simple thoughts, inartistically put together, can at all aid to bring about a concrete conception of national duty, the writer will have done all that he can at utmost hope for.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Philippine Islands It would be well, indeed, if all here at home could be led to join in the opinion of Americans in the Philip pines, of whatever party, that democratic principles of government must be considerably modified when the people to be governed have the racial qualities, tradi tions, and history of the Filipinos. Unless there be a unity of sentiment among the American people, an eager ness of spirit to solve the problem in the best possible way with the sole view of the welfare of the Filipino, the experiment now inaugurated will fail. The difficulties of the problem we are only now learning to appreciate; until the conditions are better known, we should suspend judgment and certainly be less prone to destructive criticism of the pioneer service now being performed.

Download or read book Our Philippine Problem written by Henry Parker Willis and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Philippine Problem: A Study of American Colonial Policy In the following pages I have attempted a review of our experience as a nation in governing the Philippine Islands and an appreciation of the main elements of the Philippine problem as it now presents itself. The first of these objects has been made subordinate to the second. Only so much of the history of our administration has been given as seemed to be necessary to an understanding of present questions. So fully has the subject been canvassed, that without first-hand information I should hardly feel justified in adding to the voluminous literature bearing upon it. This book is the outcome of a study of the Philippine situation during the years from 1901 to the present time. While I had felt unusual interest in our relations to the archipelago from the beginning of our colonial enterprise, my first serious attention was devoted to the subject when engaged in editorial work in New York City during the year 1901. A feeling that our relations to the Philippines involved considerations of first-class importance from the broadest national standpoint led me to devote more and more attention to the issues involved in these relations, while stationed at Washington, during the year 1902-1903, as correspondent for the New York Journal of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin and for the Springfield (Mass.) Republican. During this latter period, decisive action was taken by Congress upon the fundamental questions involved in the Philippine Civil Government Act and the Philippine Tariff Act.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War in the Philippines As soon as the alarm was given the American troops were immediately under arms and took the posi tions assigned to them. Some occupied positions of vantage about the city to quell any uprising, and others hastened to the outskirts to prevent the enemy from entering. The fight continued, with occasional lulls, throughout the entire night, the Americans remaining strictly on the defensive, only firing sufficiently to pre vent the Filipinos from advancing, while the enemy poured in a heavy fire on all sides, wasting thousands of rounds of ammunition in the dark. When morning came the insurrectos had gained nothing, and up to that time our losses had been very light. During the night intelligence of the attack on the city was flashed to the fleet at Cavite by the patrol Ships off Manila by search light Signals cast on the Sky, and the ships in the same way received their orders to aid in the counter attack that was being planned to take place at daylight. In the morning the American troops advanced and drove the Filipinos from their positions all along the line. This was undoubtedly a great surprise to them, accustomed as they had been, in fighting with the Spaniards, to make their attacks solely under cover of darkness and keep out of sight in the day time. The Filipinos resisted the first attack with considerable stubbornness, apparently not realizing that the Americans would continue to advance in Spite of the terrific fire and actually charge their breastworks. The result of this resistance was seen when the Americans passed over their lines, in the heaps of dead and wounded that lay in their trenches and along the ground immediately to their rear, the latter being shot while fleeing in terror before the line of blue and brown advancing with cheers and yells.

Download or read book Oriental America and Its Problems Classic Reprint written by Theodore Williams Noyes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-09 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oriental America and Its Problems Military operations in the islands against the Tagalogs have involved the transfer to the Asiatic tropics of thousands of Americans, upon every one of whom have been focused the hopes and fears of men and women on this side of the world. War associations have attached to the Philippines, not only vividly pictured in the memory of the soldier him self, but also indelibly impressed upon the home circle, whose members have followed with mingled pride and apprehension every step of the loved one amid strange perils in a foreign land. Such problems as those presented by the once dominating Spanish friar with his vast land holdings in Luzon, by the invader Chinaman threatening the Filipino's means of support, by the Malay at once pliable and treacherous, by the Mahometan Moro with his incidentals of polyg amy and slavery, and those arising in the course of the gradual develop ment of civil administration and self-government in a tropical archi pelago, all combine to furnish a novel and fascinating study to Ameri cans. In the battle which raged over the issues of anti-imperialism and anti - expansion in the hotly contested presidential campaign of 1900 the Philippines were kept constantly on the firing line.
