Advance of Kansas Volunteers at Caloocan

The coverage from a battlefield, made for Edison Manufacturing Company, captures the advance of the American army, lead by the lieutenant general Arthur C. MacArthur Jr., and the subsequent conquest of Caloocan in 1899. That year Washington refused to acknowledge the First Philippine Republicʼs declaration of independence and instead sent the American army, starting the Philippine-American war.
