Chapter XIII
[Macarthur and the War] 270–281
Carries the story up to the date of the arrival of the Taft Commission, sent out in the spring of 1900, to help General MacArthur run the war.
Chapter XIV
[The Taft Commission] 282–344
Shows how the Taft Commission, born of the McKinley Benevolent Assimilation theory that there was no real fundamental opposition to American rule, lived up to that theory, in their telegrams sent home during the presidential campaign of 1900, and in 1901 set up a civil government predicated upon their obstinate but opportune delusions of the previous year.
“The papers ’id it ’andsome
But you bet the army knows.”
