Secretary of War Root believes that the military and civil affairs of the Philippines have been “able and successful.” American sovereignty is being accepted and many former Filipino rebels have accepted positions in the civil government. Root sees no benefit to bringing Cuban or Puerto Rican delegations to the Philippines or bringing a delegation of Filipinos to the United States.
