On Sept. 11, 1899, the Lawrence World stated: "So long as the Filipino rebels persist in making our benevolence take the form of conquest they must expect to be killed. Let them lay down their arms and they will be as happy as the Cubans. The real difference between the government of Cuba and the Philippine islands lies in the people themselves. The Cubans had fought so long that they welcomed peace and appreciated our good offices. The Filipinos accepted freedom at our hands and then began murdering their benefactors."
