Click on image to zoom in
The Sultan of Bacolod is causing problems; he is fortifying the area under his control and claims to be at war with a rival. Generals Davis and Baldwin believe he is only stalling in order to have time to harvest the season’s crop of rice and, once this is accomplished, will engage in hostilities with the United States. Davis will keep a watchful eye on the Sultan and maintain a correspondence with him.
