They shall not be abandoned. We will not leave the destiny of the loyal millions in the islands to the disloyal thousands who are in rebellion against the United States. Order under civil institutions will come as soon as those who now break the peace shall keep it. Force will not be needed or used when those who make war against us shall...
Strana 107 - Our countrymen should not be deceived. We are not waging war against the inhabitants of the Philippine Islands. A. portion of them are making war against the United States.
