President Roosevelt offers Senator Hoar an update on the situation in the Philippines. Governor General William H. Taft and Secretary of War Elihu Root are against political figure Apolinario Mabini returning to the Philippines where he can only be a burden and “center of all the plotting by the irreconcilable.” Roosevelt finds Mabini’s excuse for not taking the oath as “trifling and disingenuous” and will not grant an exception for fear of further agitation. There are troubles ahead in the Philippines, and American officials should not be hampered in their important work. However, Roosevelt is impressed with Hoar’s desire to do what is wise and good, and will continue to consult with Taft and with Vice Governor Luke E. Wright in order to determine the earliest moment that Mabini’s return will not threaten the safety of the islands.
