Wednesday, November 7, 1900. The Treaty of Washington.

Spain relinquishes to the United States all title and claim of title, which she may have had at the time of the conclusion of the Treaty of Peace of Paris, to any and all islands belonging to the Philippine Archipelago, lying outside the lines described in Article III of that Treaty and particularly to the islands of Cagayan, Sulu and Sibutu and their dependencies, and agrees that all such islands shall be comprehended in the cession of the Archipelago as fully as if they had been expressly included within those lines.

The U.S. paid $100,000. 

The Canadian election of 1900 saw the Liberal Party increase its majority.

Saturday, October 13, 1900. Two Army physicians meet and end up saving the lives of millions.

Major General Leonard Wood, U.S. Military Governor of Cuba and a physician met with Major Walter Reed, U.S. Army surgeon, and authorized further funding of experiments to establish that yellow fever was spread by the mosquito Aedes aegypti.


Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. probably disputes that.  Probably Tylenol causes yellow fever.

Anyhow, while Secretary of Defense Hegseth may be upset with the Army being "woke", this wokeness lead to one of the most significant medical developments in history.
