                    [Summary] => Today, December 21, 1898, President McKinley issues his proclamation of "benevolent assimilation."


General Otis, who succeeded General Merritt on August 29, 1898, was appointed by the United States Government as Military Governor of the Philippines.


General Otis had differences with Aguinaldo on questions of jurisdiction, in which President Aguinaldo was forced to cede ground "because of my constant desire to preserve friendly relations with the American forces, even at the risk of sacrificing in part of the confidence reposed in me by the Filipino people."
