1764réf. 1400London: J. Dodsley 1764. Scare first edition of this document relating to the British occupation of Manila during the Anglo-Spanish War of 1762-3 and an interesting case of international law. In September of 1762 under the command of Draper and Cornish a British fleet of 13 ships containing over 6000 men attacked Manila and following a difficult landing quickly dispatched the Spanish garrison which they outnumbered 10 to 1.They entered the city on October 5 and part of the terms of capitulation was that Spain would pay the British an indemnity of 4 million pesos roughly a million pounds for not pillaging the city. The British evacuated in 1764 when hostilities ceased and Draper enjoyed the highly unusual privilege of presenting the standards of Spain taken in Manila to his alma mater Kings College Cambridge. But the Spanish did not honor this gentlemans agreement claiming that Draper dealt with an unauthorized agent that he himself broke the terms of the agreement etc. In order to press his claim which amounted to £25000 he published the present tract to pressure his government to collect. The tract contains a brief letter to the British Secretary of State outlining his grievance; a bilingual summary in English and French of the Spanish ambassadors grounds for not complying with the terms of the agreement; extracts from the treaty; a refutation by Draper of the claim that he dealt with an unauthorized agent; and an English language treaty signed by the original parties in Manila. But with hostilities over and their attention occupied by other foreign adventures chief among them America the British were in no position to insist and the suit was eventually abandoned.Griffin Bibliography of the Philippines p. 125; Dictionary of National Biography compact ed.

1940réf. 44229Manila 1940. Letters housed in a file folder attached at top with two prong paper fastener. Age-toning & staining. Fastener rusted. Folder front cover chipped & detached. A VG cache. 52 leaves most with typescript to recto only. ~ 10-1/2" x 8-1/8" A cache of 40 typed letters and TLs exchanged between the Office of the President of the Philippines and various officers of the U.S. High Commissioner of the Philippines many on official letterhead and some marked "confidential." The letters ordered chronologically chart the negotiations defense concerns and sometimes uneasy power sharing between the two administrations in regards to the rules and regulations governing aerial photography of the islands. Issues discussed include the advisability of allowing aerial photography by outside entities the feasiblity of specifying no-fly zones for aerial photography without interferring with commercial flights enforcement efforts and the powers afforded the two administrations. The majority of the letters expressing the Commonwealth's position are from and signed by Jorge B. Vargas then serving as Executive Secretary to President Manuel Quezon. Later Vargas administered Manila as an open city during the Japanese occupation in 1942 and served in the puppet government of the Second Philippine Republic; following the war he chaired the National Planning Committee served on the board of regents of the University of the Philippines and became the first Filipino on the International Olympic Committee. In 1960 he was awarded the Legion of Honor by the Republic of the Philippines. Signed letters from the U.S. High Commission include several from Major General R. L. Holbrook as well as Colonel/Acting Chief of Staff E. H. DeArmond. From the first letter dated May 25 1937: "under the present prohibitive measures regarding aerial photography embodied in Proclamation No. 485 of the Governor-General dated August 12 1932 and in the Bureau of Aeronautics rules and regulations it is believed that the granting of permission to aviation companies particularly to an aerial photographic company to take pictures will be exceedingly difficult and complicated. This office is studying the advisability of altering the present rules and regulations." Jorge B. Vargas Secretary to the President. From November 12 1938: "So long as the Philippine Islands remain United States territory the United States is responsible for their defense and that responsibility at least so far as land operations are concerned devolves upon the Commanding General . . . . To say that the Department Commander is supreme in time of war or grave emergency but that in time of peace his responsibilities are limited to administrative control over United States military personnel and United States military reservations and that in peace time he should not interest himself in control or prevention of activities which may have the gravest consequences in time of war or public emergency is manifestly contradictory." Edward H. DeArmond Colonel FS G.S.C. Acting Chief of Staff. From October 26 1939: "I have the honor to inform you that in an investigation conducted by proper authorities of this Government Mr. B. A. Glover airplane pilot in the emply of Elizalde & Co. was found guilty of violation of the provisions of Proclamation No. 364 of the President of the Philippines in view of which he was suspended as transport pilot for a period of one month from October 18 to November 17 1939 inclusive and warned that repetition of a similar offense in the future will be subject of a more drastic action." Jorge B. Vargas Secretary to the President. An interesting cache of material documenting activities of the transitional government of the Philippines just prior to the outbreak of WWII. unknown books
