Letter from George Frisbie Hoar to Theodore Roosevelt

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

Senator Hoar intercedes on behalf of Apolinario Mabini, the Filipino leader, and asks that he be allowed to return to the Philippines without taking the oath of allegiance to the United States. Hoar has found some documents that show Mabini merely to be making the same arguments that the Americans did during the revolution. Mabini is a paralytic and merely wants to return to his countrymen.
