Abstract
The Philippines form the largest island group of the Malay Archipelago, and extend almost due north and south from Formosa to Borneo and the Moluccas, embracing an extent of 16° of latitude and 9° of longitude. They were ceded by Spain to the United States of America on 10 Dec., 1898 for $20 million; an additional payment of 8100,000 was agreed upon on 7 Nov., 1900 for certain outlying islands not included in the first treaty of cession.
