Letter from George Frisbie Hoar to Theodore Roosevelt

Subject(s): Exile (Punishment), Guam, Mabini, Apolinario, 1864-1903, Philippines

Senator Hoar suggests allowing Filipino leader, Apolinario Mabini, to return to his country. Mabini had a hand in Filipino state papers that had a good understanding of law and of America. He refused to take an oath of allegiance to the United States and was deported to Guam. Hoar argues that if the United States has overcome all opposition in the Philippines, what do they have to fear from one old man?
