Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Americans in the Philippines, Vol. 2: A History of the Conquest, and First Years of Occupation, With an Introductory Account of the Spanish Rule At the beginning of February, 1899, the tension between the Americans and Filipinos was strained to its utmost, with no active influence at work to ease it at any point. In the United States, action in official circles was completely suspended, waiting for the vote of the Senate on the treaty. In the Philippines, the American authorities had just seen the January negotiations come to naught, had redoubled their energies in scrupulous preparation for emergencies, and had at the moment adopted a somewhat more stern attitude toward the Filipinos on their outer line. The Filipinos made preparations for the war, which practically all now felt to be inevitable, no less actively, though much less systematically. At this stage there occurred an incident which might have occurred at any time during January or earlier, but which would not then have been so certainly productive of warfare - a warfare that was to end only in the destruction of Filipino governmental pretensions. The sort of friction which most threatened serious trouble had, since August, been that which arose over the question of what were the outer lines of the Americans in their occupancy of Manila. After those lines were defined by a survey and the disagreement over the blockhouses was apparently settled, in October, it might have been supposed that this friction would come to an end, and so it would had not the two forces been facing each other in mutual hostility and distrust.
