President Roosevelt agrees with David Gray that the danger in the Islands is going too fast, not too slow. However, Roosevelt believes that replacing military rule with a civilian administration as quickly as possible was the correct course of action. Roosevelt describes the attacks on the army as “infamous” and felt deep indignation at the conduct of General Miles.
