An attempt to investigate the claims to the pearling grounds in accordance with the law on pearl-fishing was undertaken by the local authorities in Jolo in September 1907. In the peace treaty, Spain was forced to transfer sovereignty over the Philippines to the United States, giving the latter country a foothold in Asia and a commercial gateway to the Chinese market. The work dealt with the Moro Wars up until the early nineteenth century, and the purpose, as stated by the author, was to ‘demonstrate the perverse behaviour of the Moro along with our prudence, in order now to win their friendship and to contain their piracies’.Footnote 73, A more comprehensive study of Moro piracy in two volumes appeared ten years later, written by José Montero y Vidal, a Spanish author and politician, who, like Barrantes, had served for several years as an official in the Philippine colonial administration. 165 Thompson, ‘Governors of the Moro Province’, 156. Sulu Sea Boutique Hotel offers accommodations on Diniwid Beach in Boracay. A Dutch gunboat assisted the troops by patrolling the adjacent seas, and, with the aid of the local population, six members of the band were arrested, whereas the leader was killed by the local Moros who assisted the colonial troops.Footnote 202, After 1910, pirate attacks in or emanating from the Sulu Archipelago became even rarer and remained so for the duration of the American colonial period. Malalis and another suspect named Sulug were subsequently tricked by a datu who was friendly to the Americans to come to Cotabato, where they were arrested and sentenced to prison terms of four and three years respectively. In May 1900 an attack occurred in which six Moros from the Sulu Archipelago killed five Moros and one Chinese from the Dutch East Indies near the island of Kulan, off the east coast of Borneo. Maritime raiding in the Philippines predated the first Spanish incursions in the region in the sixteenth century but was aggravated by the protracted conflict between the Spanish colonisers and the Muslims of the southern Philippines from 1565 to 1898, as well as by the region’s integration into the global commercial systems of the early modern period and the influx of European firearms to the region. The law also stated that the governor of Sulu district was to ‘investigate the alleged claims of certain Moros residing within his district to property rights in the shells of marine molluscs in the seas adjacent to their places of residence’. From the Spanish point of view, the problem was exacerbated by the relative efficiency of Dutch and British efforts to suppress piracy in the adjacent waters, one effect of which was to push the Sulu raiders to increase their operations in Philippine waters.Footnote 54, The situation changed only in 1861, when the Spanish government purchased eighteen small gunboats, by means of which they, for the first time, were able to extend regular patrols to all parts of the Sulu Sea. 178 ARGMP (1908), 23. 91 Kratoska and Batson, ‘Nationalism and Modernist Reform’, 253–7; see further Linn, Philippine War. After a slow start, trade between Sulu and Labuan developed rapidly after the middle of the 1850s, and Labuan emerged as an important entrepôt for the trade between Sulu and Singapore. 159 Memorandum for Major Finley and Captain Muir, 3 January 1908, THBP 88 (MDLC); Mindanao Herald (28 December 1907). They took pot-shots at the sentries, stole cattle, and made themselves generally disagreeable.’Footnote 82 The journalist and amateur historian Vic Hurley – possibly with a flair for the dramatic – likewise claimed that a ‘reign of terror persisted in Jolo without respite until the town was finally evacuated to the American forces in 1899’.Footnote 83 General John C. Bates, who shortly after the American takeover of the Philippines in 1899 led a mission to establish an agreement between the United States and the sultan of Sulu, concluded from his studies of Spanish records of their activity in the Sulu Archipelago that: Spain never announced nor conceived a definite, fixed policy of control over the archipelago which looked to improvement and permanency. The earliest raid that can safely be attributed to Jikiri seems to be the attack on Tao Tila on 1 November 1907; Mindanao Herald (25 January 1908); see also below. It is uncertain, however, how the Sultan and the leading headmen of Sulu interpreted the new arrangements, particularly with regard to the separation of the political from the religious leadership.Footnote 137, Governor Wood now set about imposing direct colonial rule, establishing law and order and modernising Moro society. Several of the latter were reportedly favourably disposed toward the Americans, but the sultan was initially reluctant to negotiate with the American delegation.Footnote 102 After six weeks, however, in August 1899 he was persuaded to sign the agreement, largely on the terms proposed by the Americans. After the end of the Philippine–American War in 1902 the American colonial authorities were able to divert more resources to the south, and the need to maintain friendly relations with the Moros by means of noninterference became subordinated to the goal of developing and modernising the region. The merchants were thus forced to make terms with the sultan and pay him 100 dollars a month for the right to fish in the Sulu Archipelago. The arrests and the destruction of Datu Malalis’s house reportedly dealt a serious blow to the slave market at Dinas.Footnote 126. To send content items to your account, On several occasions the Moros also made concerted attacks on the Spanish garrison at Jolo but were repelled with heavy losses.Footnote 78, After more than two years of hostilities, one of the leading Sulu datus, Harun ar-Rashid, convinced the sultan that peace and submission to Spanish suzerainty were preferable to continued fighting, which looked likely to bring about the complete ruin of the Sultanate. In 1836 two treaties were signed between Spain and the Sultanate, a commercial treaty and a treaty of friendship and alliance. The depredations of Selungun’s band brought to the fore the need for gunboats to patrol the coasts and waters of the southern Philippines. Selungun himself still evaded capture, however, and he was believed to have taken refuge in Tawi-Tawi. It was possibly even more negative in its assessment of the Moros than Barrantes’ work, describing them as ‘cruel, vengeful, devious, treacherous, deceitful and false’. The much sought-after products from the southern Philippines and eastern Indonesia included pearls, mother-of-pearl, sea cucumber, wax, bird’s nests, shark fins and tortoise shells, all of which were exported in exchange for textiles, opium and firearms. Sulu Sea is also where the Tubbataha Reef National Marine Park, one of the World Heritage Sites is located. Tarling, Sulu and Sabah, 83−4. A few years after the Spanish conquest of Jolo an Austrian ethnographer, Ferd. He was particularly concerned that if the troops were too few they would not be able to secure and hold the necessary positions there given the hostility of the local population. Against this background, and with imperial rivals, such as Great Britain, France, the Netherlands and Germany, showing greater interest in the southern Philippines over the course of the nineteenth century, it was of crucial importance for Spain to demonstrate sovereignty over the Sulu Sea and to enforce a monopoly on violence in the area. Under the influence of Enlightenment notions of race and civilisation, piracy became associated with certain ethnic groups, particularly the Muslim population of Sulu. The term Moro is no longer regarded as condescending, as demonstrated by the inclusion of the term in the name of the two leading secessionist movements in the southern Philippines since the 1970s, the Moro National Liberation Front and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front. 43 Keppel, Visit to the Indian Archipelago 1, 58; cf. 90 See Brands, Bound to Empire, 20–35, for a rebuttal of the argument that American colonial expansion happened by coincidence. 172 Thompson, ‘Governors of the Moro Province’, 167–8. The result was that a treaty was signed in which the Sultan, among other things, agreed to do all in his power to suppress piracy and not to harbour or protect any persons or vessels engaged in piratical activities. 16 Warren, Iranun and Balangingi, 86−123. If this is the first time you use this feature, you will be asked to authorise Cambridge Core to connect with your account. The arrangement seems mainly to have been aimed at supporting the American effort to win the Philippine–American War, however, and at least before 1902 there were few gunboats in operation in the Sulu Archipelago. Slavery was common throughout Southeast Asia, but its importance increased in the early modern period, both because of the Moro Wars and the strong demand for slaves in the European colonies, particularly in the Dutch East Indies. The lack of international recognition of Spain’s territorial claims over the Sulu Sultanate, however, hindered naval cooperation with the British and the Dutch for the purpose of suppressing piracy, which allowed petty piratical activity emanating from the Sulu Sea to continue. The Spanish also took measures to prevent the Sama from re-establishing themselves on Balangingi by destroying 4 forts, 7 villages, 150 vessels and thousands of coconut trees, thereby making the island unfit for habitation for many years to come.Footnote 23. Governor Finley, however, strongly objected and ‘most forcibly’ informed Datu Gabino that such gruesome methods would not be tolerated.Footnote 150, Despite this and other successful measures, the hope that the piracies around Basilan would be brought to a swift end was confounded as the year 1907 progressed. 155 Mindanao Herald (21 September 1907). The commercial and territorial rivalry was particularly strong between Great Britain and Spain. 86 Warren, The Sulu Zone, 1768−1898, 126−34. Hurley may have told the story of Jikiri’s physical defect to add flair and character to the pirate chief, but it is remarkable that the explanation continues to be cited in scholarly literature.Footnote 190. According to the collector of customs at the port, the decrease was due to the insecurity of life and property throughout Sulu district owing to the depredations. The attack resulted in the death of more than 450 Sama raiders, along with some 200 women and children. I will repeat a recommendation I have made, that one or two gunboats should be constantly on patrol duty between Marigosa, Punta Flecha, and the mouth of the Rio Grande and down the coast for about 40 miles, with instructions to overhaul every vinta and capture and destroy all those containing arms or slaves without a permit from some commanding officer. The Spanish colonial government accused the sultan of Sulu of not fulfilling his obligations according to the 1851 treaty of suppressing piracy, and of importing arms without licence, which also was a violation of the treaty.Footnote 61 The British, however, were of the opinion that the Spanish brought up the accusation of piracy as a pretext for intervention and that their real aim was to extend their control over the Sulu Sea and to convert the Moros to Christianity. The reference to a renewed promise in the Spanish (but not in the Tausug) text of the treaty referred to the 1836 Treaty of Peace, Protection and Commerce, according to which Spain and Sulu offered mutual protection for the vessels of the other country in its waters and territories. Basilan was believed to have great economic potential, particularly for the production of timber, rubber, hemp and other staple products, and the population was generally seen as peaceful and amenably disposed to American rule.Footnote 156 Most of the island was covered by forest, and American settlers had in the previous years set up logging camps and other businesses on the island. The economic marginalisation of the Moros and the opening up of the pearl beds of Sulu to outsiders without due compensation by the authorities thus led to much resentment and set the stage for a resurgence of maritime violence. Article 10 of the agreement stated that ‘[a]ny slave in the archipelago of Jolo shall have the right to purchase freedom by paying to the master the usual market value’.Footnote 103 For American anti-imperialists, this provision seemed to confirm their worst fears in connection with the American takeover of the Philippines, and the opponents of colonial expansion readily seized on what they saw both as a violation of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which abolished slavery in the United States or any place subject to its jurisdiction, and as evidence that colonialism in itself was a form of slavery.Footnote 104, The controversy over the Bates Agreement seems to have come as a surprise to the senior military officers in the Philippines. The Spanish frequently attacked Moro settlements that were suspected of serving as pirate bases. The destruction of Balangingi in 1848 had brought about a decline in large-scale organised raiding, and between 1848 and 1851 there were few reported slave raids in the Philippines. Jikiri’s aversion to the Chinese appears to have been based on his resentment against their commercial success in the colonial economic system, a success which was perceived as having come at the cost of Moro traders and producers. Gen. George W. Davis, USA, commanding Seventh Separate Brigade, 1 August 1902, ARWD 9 (1902), 501. Controversially from the Spanish point of view, the Sultan also agreed not to cede any portion of his territory to a foreign power or to acknowledge the sovereignty of any other power without the consent of Great Britain.Footnote 24, The news of the treaty was received with alarm in Manila. The Americans were informed by the Dutch authorities that the perpetrators were hiding in a village on Jolo. In the middle of August a pearling lugger was attacked by some forty armed men in four vintas off the island of Tunkil, between Jolo and Basilan. 184 ARWD 3 (1909), 208; see also Straits Times (4 May 1909); Mindanao Herald (29 May 1909, 19 June 1909). Similar Images . In addition, the wife of one of the men received a deep cut across her back and barely survived. The Commander of Jolo Garrison thus asked the Sultan to arrest Selungun and arrange for the slaves to be returned to Mindanao. The Sultan was still to be given an allowance by the Americans, and was to continue to enjoy a position of dignity as the symbolic head and religious leader of the Sulu Moros. After an incident in which Sultan Jamal ul-Azam (1862–81) refused to fly the Spanish flag in his capital and instead had the flag burnt in public, the Spanish declared Sulu to be in open rebellion.Footnote 67 Citing the need to prevent raiding on the Philippine coasts, the Commander of the Spanish Naval Station in the Philippines, Rear Admiral Juan Antequera, in August 1873, issued a regulation that declared all Muslim shipping in the Sulu Sea illegal. The main tasks of the gunboats were to chase after pirates and to enforce a Spanish embargo on the importation of firearms and ammunition to the Sulu Archipelago. According to Moro custom, all of the land and sea belonged to the sultan, who granted his subjects the exclusive right to the pearling grounds that they found in exchange for the privilege of receiving the largest pearls. Spain never managed to take control of the Sulu Archipelago, where the Sulu Sultanate thrived, particularly after c.1770, on a combination of trade and slave raiding. In contrast to most earlier Spanish attempts to put an end to the maritime raiding emanating from Sulu, the attack had the desired effect of bringing about a drastic decline in slave raiding. The 1903 annual report of the Navy’s Asiatic Squadron claimed that the Moro coastal tribes had ‘great fear of and respect for a gunboat’, although subsequent developments indicated that this claim may have been somewhat too optimistic.Footnote 129, After the demise of Selungun’s band, security conditions at sea and around the coasts of the archipelago improved. is added to your Approved Personal Document E-mail List under your Personal Document Settings Spanish naval vessels patrolled the Sulu Sea in order to assert sovereignty and to enforce Spain’s commercial monopoly. Despite the 1899 controversy over the command of the gunboats acquired from Spain, local army commanders and gunboat captains for the most part cooperated efficiently; Linn, Philippine War, 132. In the wake of the Spanish–American War of 1898, however, the Spanish garrison at Jolo was greatly reduced, and the colonial gunboats were no longer able to protect the operations of Tiana and Tan. The Sultan … says the men are all quiet, harmless persons and that whenever women and children are found in Boats with the men there is no mischief intended.Footnote 58, In suppressing piracy and other forms of subversion on the part of the Moros the Spanish relied on tactics that were not very different in character and effect from those of the Moro raids they aimed to suppress.

In 1902, the Commander of the Seventh Brigade, which was charged with the administration of the Department of Mindanao and Sulu, reported that after the Spanish gunboats had delivered the death knell to the Sulu pirates, ‘these whilom sea rovers limit their forays to an occasional assault on other Moro boats, but the merchant vessels of all nations are as secure in the Sulu Sea as in the Atlantic Ocean’.Footnote 114 In general, the American assessment of the situation was that piratical activities now only occurred sporadically. The term Moro, which for more than two hundred years had been used pejoratively by the Spanish, also came to be understood by Europeans in the region as more or less synonymous with pirate. American policy in the Philippines from the conclusion of the Philippine–American War of 1902 up until the outbreak of the Pacific War in 1941 was to a great extent shaped by the tension between, on the one hand, the commercial and geopolitical arguments for continued colonial administration and, on the other, Filipino nationalist aspirations and the sympathy that those aspirations commanded among anti-imperialists in the United States. If the vessels referred to in the former article be armed, they shall, as our laws direct, be held as pirates and their crews be tried by court martial according to the provisions of the Penal Code. 78 Ewing, ‘Juramentado’, 148−55; Majul, Muslims in the Philippines, 353–60; Saleeby, History of Sulu, 224. One was the confiscation of the pearl-beds by the government without compensation to the owners. Sulu (; Tausūg: Wilāya sin Lupa' Sūg; Tagalog: Lalawigan ng Sulu) is a province of the Philippines in the Sulu Archipelago and part of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM).. Its capital is Jolo on the island of the same name. One woman was sold in Tapul; 1 girl child was sold in Siassi; 1 woman, 1 man, and 1 boy were sold in Look; 1 young girl was sold at Bual. 49 Tarling, Sulu and Sabah, 96; see further Chapter 3. If the Spanish never succeeded in establishing more than nominal control over Jolo and the other islands of the Sulu Archipelago, they were eventually, toward the end of the Spanish colonial period, relatively successful in upholding maritime security in the archipelago. The meetings, among other things, discussed how to improve security for the white settlers in the region. 137 Gowing, ‘Mandate in Moroland’, 405, 408. Close this message to accept cookies or find out how to manage your cookie settings. This assessment probably contributed to the relative lack of interest on the part of the authorities in suppressing piratical activity, despite the apparent increase from 1906.Footnote 157, On Christmas Eve 1907, Kopagu, a logging camp on the east coast of Basilan, was attacked by a group of Moros who descended on the camp from the sea.Footnote 158 After landing on the beach, the raiders sneaked up on the three men in the camp – one American, one Dutchman and one Chinese − and killed them, almost simultaneously, by hacking them to pieces with machetes (barongs). These developments, combined with the fact that the annual maritime raids emanating from the Sulu Sultanate continued more or less unchecked, cast doubts on Spain’s claim to sovereignty over the southern Philippines. As James Warren has shown, the raiding economy of the Sulu Sultanate flourished from the last decades of the eighteenth century largely as a result of the region’s integration into the global capitalist economy, but raiding and slavery had a long history, not only in the southern Philippines but also throughout the archipelago.Footnote 39. The attack took place off Parang, on the west coast of Jolo, and was carried out by four vintas coming from the shore. by Saleeby from the Spanish text of the treaty. The report was well received by Governor Taft and the government in Washington, and in March 1904 President Theodore Roosevelt unilaterally abrogated the Bates Agreement on behalf of the United States. The Sultan of Sulu is very civil to us, and wanted me to hoist the English flag to protect himself against the Spaniards, who will no doubt eventually take the whole group, that being their object clearly …, While we lay here 30 June, there are 3 Spanish steam Vessels of war, a sloop and two gunboats, one has just arrived with 5 Boats in tow, and having on board 34 men and women chained to their steam chain. When the Spanish–American War broke out, Philippine nationalists, led by Emilio Aguinaldo, joined forces with the Americans in the hope that the United States would grant independence to the Philippines. Such notions, however, were not limited to Spanish colonial historiography but were prevalent in other colonial histories and assessments of the Moros (and other Malays) as well. 123 Maj. Lea Febiger, Report of the commanding officer at Cotabato, 4 June 1902, ARWD 9 (1902), 525; Pettit, Report, 16 September 1901, ARWD 9 (1902), 555; Cloman, Myself and a Few Moros, 90; see also 96. As in other parts of Southeast Asia at the time, the main reason for the newly found strength of the colonial navies vis-à-vis the raiders was the arrival of steam gunboats, combined with improved intelligence about the composition, location and modus operandi of the perpetrators. Selungun was the leader of a band of Sulu pirates who were responsible for a number of attacks on local fishing boats and traders in the archipelago in the first years of the twentieth century. 98 Otis, Annual Report, in ARWD 2 (1899), 132−3. These circumstances notwithstanding, allegations of piracy continued to be used as a justification for further Spanish advances in the southern Philippines. Compared with earlier treaties, the Spanish and Sulu texts of the 1878 treaty were relatively similar. Wood was convinced that a strong authoritarian government would bring Sulu and other unruly parts of the southern Philippines under American control. Thi Hue, Chu Select from the other forecast maps (on the right) to view the temperature, cloud cover, wind and precipitation for … According to Cloman’s – somewhat fanciful – later account of his service in the Sulu Archipelago, the letter accused Selungun of an attack on a boat belonging to a rich trader who was a friend of the Sultan. 149 Mindanao Herald (22 December 1906); Report on Tribal Ward No. The naval attacks, not only by the Spanish but also by the British and Dutch, contributed to weaken whatever power the sultan previously had to restrain the raiders dispersed around the archipelago, regardless of his level of commitment to do so.Footnote 45, The Spanish victory at Balangingi in 1848 had broken the back of the large raiding expeditions emanating from Sulu, but it did not put an end to piratical activity. 71 Montero y Vidal, Historia de la piratería 2, 520−1. 40; italics in original; my transl. They were captured (having no arms) off Siassi 30 miles South of Sulu doing nothing. 68 Appendix L: Regulation Declaring all Muslim Shipping Illegal in the Sulu Sea, in Warren, The Sulu Zone, 1768−1898, 288; transl, by Warren. The Spanish consequently labelled their Muslim adversaries in the Philippines ‘Moros’, a condescending term for Muslims derived from the Mediterranean and Iberian context. 117 Kobbé, Annual Report, in ARWD 3 (1900), 257.

The Spaniards never permitted them to engage in that sort of traffic, and they expect to be harshly dealt with when caught. The perpetrators were subsequently identified and captured, and two of them were sentenced to death and executed in 1922, after the Supreme Court in Manila had rejected their appeals.Footnote 203. According to a Protocol from 1885 between Britain, Germany and Spain, fishing in the Sulu Archipelago was free for all, and the firm consequently did not feel obliged to ask the sultan – who had not been consulted in the negotiations that led to the Anglo–German–Spanish agreement − for permission to fish for pearls in the waters off Jolo, nor to pay him for the privilege of doing so.
