Exhibit no. 40

Series of communications, apparently a court exhibit, relating to a dispute over ordinances passed by the Municipal Council of Bacolod that might interfere with church affairs. The Bacolod council has passed laws that require all processions to get a permit before using city streets, that restrict the handling of corpses in churches, and that require spittoons and cleaning of churches. The Catholics believe that the ordinances have been passed to restrict their religious observances, but the Municipal Council argues that public safety and hygiene were the main concerns.

Letter from George W. Davis to Adna Romanza Chaffee

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.
