By matt 2.10 When Dewey steamed into Manila Bay in August, 1808, Aguinaldo, lead. er of the Filipinos in their revolution against Spanish rule, then in exile in Hongkong, said: "The Americans, _ -not from mercenary motives, but for the .sake of humanity and the lamentations of so many persecuted -people have considered it opportune to extend their protection mantle to our beloved country." This book shows not- only how j completely Aguinaldo, but the American people, were fooled. ?xUn February of die following year Aguinaldo found that his army had conquered the Spanish ^forces only that the United States might rule v his land autocratically. How the Amreican people were taken in, how _ little tney unqersioou me commercial interests back of the war, how the war news was censured, all this and much _ more is shown in "The Conquest of - the Philippines." The Conquest of the Philippines is one more tragedy of imperialism. But fortunately-the-story Is not completed. There is a strong sentiment in this country favoring independence for thfe Filipinos. Every colored citizen, and everyone believing in the rights of "people irresponsive of color, should tr- read this voHume thatrhe may be a* hie t" VAt? intelligently should the issue come before him. The story is teld-quietly, dispassionately,-the most of its data taken from Americifh sources. How we turned our forces against the Filipinos who had recently fought ? (,[\v buttle^, how McKinluy manipu-' lated Congress, how brutal Was our warfare, how we looted and tortured, and established reconcentration camps that were as bad as the Spaniards in Cuba, all this many'wW-learn from this book for the /first time.

But the people of the Upited States were^ not .jjerjrilllUll Lu glvu them justice since their news was so censured that they never understood what was happening. To them it was a gorilla warfare, American soldiers against bandits. * M?rp tbnn h;ilf thk book ist ron..... cerned with conditions prior to the pacification of the Islands. Of Aftveri.

His taxes scoured the whole field *>f business and would se6m intolerable to an' American at home. Out.side of Italy it would be hard to find so exactijng a system. The , planter was considered little, /the American shipper, much. But thru all our greed and tyranny would come words such as these from Roosevelt: ~ "No great civilized power has ever managed with such wisdom and such disinterestedness the affairs of the people committed b$-ihe acqident of war into their hands.
