Excerpt from Treaty With the Sultan of Sulu: Information Concerning the Philippine Islands; Speeches of Hon. R. F. Pettigrew, of South Dakota, in the Senate of the United States, January 17, 24, and 31, 1900 The island of Mindanao has never been explored by the white people, and it was never under the jurisdiction of Spain, except that two or three of its coast ports were occupied by that power. In our treaty with Spain we take title of this entire group, as well as to the Philippines. Last summer we made a new agreement with these people, which I desire to read in order that it may go in the record. I will read first this dispatch from Manila, dated July 12, 1899.

Excerpt from Government of the Philippines: Speech of Hon. Richard F. Pettigrew, of South Dakota, in the Senate of the United States, Monday, June 4, and Tuesday, June 5, 1900 What page in history gives an account of a more noble and determined effort to secure their independence than that written by the Filipinos? I say, Mr. President, that if we had not taken title from Spain, she could not have recovered the islands. Crip pled, her fleet destroyed, bankrupt, Spain had not the power to reconquer the Philippines, and if we had simply left them out of the treaty to-day they would be free and independent; today they would be administering the quiet and the peaceful government which we found after the destruction of the Spanish fleet; to-day a republic would exist there founded upon our Constitution and our Declaration of Independence. I say Spa-ih could not have re conquered the islands; that they would have been free and inde pendent, and for proof of that I read from Document 62, page 369. This is a hearing before the Paris peace commission. The wit ness is General Merritt, fresh from the Philippines, fresh from the capture of Manila. The query was put to him by Mr. Gray, one of the commissioners: Suppose by final treaty with Spain we should abandon Luzon and all the Philippines, exacting such terms and conditions and guaranties as we should think necessary, and abandon them entirely, reserving only a coaling station, perhaps, what do you think they would do about it?

This title shows how anthropology showcased itself "to show each half of the world how the other half lives".
