  11. The Filipino-American War1898-1903 From Mark Twain’s “To the Person Sitting in Darkness”: • The Person Sitting in Darkness is almost sure to say: "There is something curious about this -- curious and unaccountable.

  12. The Filipino-American War1898-1903 Twain continues: • Of course, we must not venture to ignore our General MacArthur's reports -- oh, why do they keep on printing those embarrassing things? -- we must drop them trippingly from the tongue and take the chances: • During the last ten months our losses have been 268 killed and 750 wounded; Filipino loss, three thousand two hundred and twenty-seven killed, and 694 wounded.
