On December 27,\nAguinaldo and some revolutionary leaders sail for Hong Kong\nin compliance with the pact. Governor-General Primo de Rivera\nimmediately declared “the end of the Revolution” after the\nsigning of the pact and the departure into exile of the prominent\nrevolutionaries. To encourage other revolutionaries to surrender,\nthe governor general also issues an amnesty proclamation.\nDespite the peace pact and the declaration of the end\nof the revolution, revolutionary activities continued in different\nprovinces. While in Hong Kong, the revolutionaries formed a\ncommittee that manages their political affairs while in exile. As this committee monitors political activities in the Philippines,\nthey realized that “faced with this series of acts of bad faith,\ncontempt, insults, crimes, and above all forgetting their\n[Spaniards] commitments, as recently as solemnly contracted,\nthe same ones who signed the Treaty of Biyak na Bato, have\nconsidered themselves free from obligation to remain abroad,\nand to keep for a longer time, the faith of the promised\narmistice. (Ante esta serie de actos de mala fe, de desprecio, de\ninsulto, de crimenes, y sobre todo de olvido de sus compromisos,\ntan reciente como solemnemente contraidos, los mismos que\nfirmaron el Tratado de Biyak na Bato, se han considerado libres\nde la obligacion de permanecer en el extrangero, y de guardar\npor mas tiempo, de la fe del armisticio prometido).\nThus, this manifesto is issued asserting that Filipino\nrevolutionaries are no longer duty-bound to comply with the\nterms and provisions of the Pact of Biak-na-Bato.\nThis manifesto is rather controversial since it ends\nwith the following statement: “We also have the honorable\nduty to defend ourselves against the whipping and vilification\nof the Spanish, accepting the protection and direction of the\nhumanitarian North American people. (Tenemos tambien, el\ndeber honroso de defendernos contra el latigo y el vilipendio\nde los Españoles, aceptando la proteccion y direccion del\nhumanitario pueblo Norte Americano). The caveat on the\nAmerican protection (la protecion de la Gran Republica\nAmericana) is based on the agreement between Gen. Emilio\nAguinaldo and American Consul in Singapore, E. Spencer Pratt.\nPratt encourages Aguinaldo to continue the Revolution against\nSpain and promises that the United States will help them.","lot_group":"BOOKS","lot_details_html":"
