Bates Treaty

John Bass of Harper’s Weekly reported that the sultan was importing a large cache of rifles and ammunition "evidently to maintain his sovereignty." This would later be borne out by a series of cotta (bunker or trench) wars against the Americans by the sultan’s subjects.
Thus, Carpenter wrote in his 1916 report that it was "necessary and opportune definitely to extinguish all claims of the sultan to any degree of temporal sovereignty."
This treaty also provided the sultan and his datus monthly payments of 250-1500 Mexican pesos.

The Concluding Events of the Spanish American War

Bryan had come to the conclusion that once the Philippines were freed from Spanish rule, the U.S. could arrange to provide the island nation with its freedom.
Author Mark Twain stated, "I have read carefully the treaty of Paris, and I have seen that we do not intend to free, but to subjugate." On December 21 President McKinley issued his Benevolent Assimilation Proclamation, wherein he asserted that Americans had a responsibility to educate, civilize and uplift the conditions of the Filipinos.
The Spanish commissioners argued that Manila had surrendered AFTER the armistice, and for this reason could not be claimed as a conquest of the war.
