'Mr. PETTIGREW. Mr. President, the Sulu group of islands are
located between the island of Borneo and the island of Mindanao, of
the Philippine group. They are 150 in number. These islands were
conquered by the Mohammedans about eight centuries ago, and they
have maintained, as long as we have any history of them, a
government of their own, having an absolute monarch for a ruler.
Spain claimed ownership over these islands, and has undertaken at
various times to take possession of them. Her power and authority
reached the distance only from the shores of the islands which
could be traversed by projectiles from the cannon of her fleet.
These people have been pirates and
slaveholders and polygamists from the earliest record of their
transactions.
In 1876 Spain undertook to conquer their islands and assert her
authority over them, but the effort failed; and finally the
aggressive powers entered into a treaty with the Sultan by which
Spain was to keep an officer representing that Government and a
small number of troops at the capital of the Sulu group. The Sultan
agreed to recognize the suzerainty of the King of Spain and
promised to suppress piracy. He received from Spain certain
salaries as compensation for his recognition of the suzerainty of
the King of Spain.
Whether or not the commissioners at Paris knew what they were
buying I can not tell; but in some way we purchased the entire
group, including all the Philippines; and we now find that the
Sultan not only has the Sulu group under his jurisdiction and
control, but also the large island of Mindanao, embracing an area
as large as the State of Indiana, and also the island of Palawan.
These two islands, or portions of them, nearly their whole area,
are under the immediate control of a subsultan, who owes some sort
of allegiance to the Sultan of the Sulu Islands. The island of
Mindanao has never been explored by the white people, and it was
never under the jurisdiction of Spain, except that two or three of
its coast ports were occupied by that power. In our treaty with
Spain we take title of this entire group, as well as to the
Philippines.' s. 3-4.
