Excerpt from Iloilo, an Episode of January, 1899, and Strained Relations in Manila, Vol. 6: First Series; February 25, 1901
December 13, 1898, General Otis received a petition from certain business men in Iloilo, asking for American protection there. Next day he cabled to Washington telling of the petition, stating that the Spanish authorities were still holding out in Iloilo but would receive American troops, and asking for instructions.
December 23, those instructions arrived. The President directs that you send necessary troops to Iloilo, to pre serve the peace and protect life and property. It is most important that there should be no conflict with the insurgents. Be conciliatory, but firm. General Otis at once cabled General Rios, in command of the Spanish troops at Iloilo, that he was sending a large American force. On the 24th, General Otis heard that General Rios intended to leave Iloilo that same day. Efforts were immediately made, says General Otis, to communicate by other means with General Rios before he could evacuate the city. Lieutenant Colonel Potter was sent at once on a coasting vessel to Iloilo. -
Iloilo, the most noble city: History and development 1566-1898
The book gives a wealth of historical data on Iloilo City on 1566 to 1898, and situates it in the context of the history of elegiac Panay as well as that of revolutionary Philippines. Notably, the book mentions the story of the Ilongo volunteers fighting against the Katipunan (hence Queen Maria Cristina of Spain calling it La Muy Noble Ciudad), growth of the sugarcane and textile industries, and the emergence of Graciano Lopez Jaena and the Propaganda Movement.
Iloilo, the Most Noble City by Rev. Fr. Policarpo F. Hernandez, ObA is a well-written and excellent piece of scholarly historical research.
Professional historians, history students, researchers and enthusiasts will profit much from reading it. While the basic frame of interest is the valuable contributions of the Augustinian Order in Iloilo, generally unknown, and therefore, unappreciated, the book will be of much help in the study of Iloilo history. -
