Let me give you some of the conversation at that impressive ceremony. General Sumner: ** There has been trouble in Jolo, and I have come to see about it." Sultan: **What trouble? Not all Sulus tmderstand the treaty made by the Americans, and we are poor and ignorant. We do not understand why we should pay duty on every- thing. We never did before. The Sulus are poor, they do not get paid for their work like the Americans, and they do not understand why they should now pay so much more than befo...re for the same things they import.*' General Sumner: **We came here to help the Moros." Sultan: ** Please, then, stop the duties for a while. The people are in great distress. Sugar is very dear now and out of reach of the people, and so is tobacco. Cloth has become too expensive and the Sulus cannot weave.*' General Sumner: **I have to pay duty on my own clothes." Sultan: ** Americans have money to pay for cloth. I would like to be informed when Americans go about the island, to prevent trouble, otherwise I cannot be responsible if they are killed.
