"It is admitted by the Wood-Forbes Mission that order has been

"The Filipino people are by nature and tradition hospitable
and courteous to foreigners. There has been no anti-foreign
agitation or outbreak. The business of foreigners has been amply

of war were treated according to the law of nations, and there
was security for foreigners.
