the Sulu archipelago and founded the
sultanate,
He first occupied the attention of
the American public in 1893, during
the invasion OF the Philippines. when
he announced that he would resist the
troops of the. United States. The

not forthcoming and he instead en-

was allowed to keep his title and with
a small bodyguard and his harem he
reigned In solitary state without
causing any particular concern until
Miss Alice Roosevelt saw TT to take
