55. Military Government In Puerto Rico Military government in puerto rico. General Guy Henry succeeded General Brookeand he also affected government and life in puerto rico significantly. http://www.loc.gov/rr/hispanic/1898/milgovt.html

Military Government in Puerto Rico With the beginning of U.S. control of Puerto Rico, General Nelson Miles was appointed military governor in charge of the Army of Occupation and administrator of civil affairs with the power to issue orders with the force of law. The U.S. military controlled municipal laws and courts. Once ports were opened to neutral nations, the Army established and administered an official exchange rate, customs duties, and taxes. General John Brooke became governor on October 18, 1898, but relinquished his authority to General Guy Henry on December 9. During his regime he divided the island into two civil and military jurisdiction Ponce , under the command of General Henry; and San Juan , subject to the authority of Brig. Gen. F. D. Grant. Brooke also ordered schools opened and changed the official name of the island to "Porto Rico." He dissolved the newly chartered Provincial Assembly and invested its power in the Insular Council, while creating a new supreme court under the provisions of the Foraker Act General Guy Henry succeeded General Brooke and he also affected government and life in Puerto Rico significantly. At a meeting with representatives from various towns and the Insular Council, Henry announced his program to improve sanitation and school systems, and revise election standards to accomodate lower levels of literacy. His attempted curbs on freedom of the press provoked conflicts between the military government and island newspapers whenever critics of the government were threatened and censored. During his tenure the Insular Council lost the autonomous powers granted it by the Constitution of 1897. He also abolished taxes on meat and bread while decreeing higher imposts on alcohol and tobacco. He also suspended foreclosures for one year, a controversial measure in an place so dependent on land as capital. In May 1899, General Henry requested to be recalled; he was succeeded by Brigadier General George W. Davis.

56. Chronology--Puerto Rico General Manuel Macías inaugurated the new government of puerto rico under the AutonomousCharter which gave town councils complete autonomy in local matters. http://www.loc.gov/rr/hispanic/1898/chronpr.html

Chronology of Puerto Rico in the Spanish-American War 23 September Manuel Rojas organized the Separatist Party and pledged to create the independent Republic of Puerto Rico as part of an uprising known as the Grito de Lares ("The Cry of Lares") . His plantation in the town of Lares became the headquarters for like-minded revolutionaries who would push for a split from Spain. The Spanish provincial government in Puerto Rico established the Liberal Reform Party and the Liberal Conservative Party as the first true political organizations. The Liberal Conservatives opposed any movement for reform while debate raged among the Liberal Reformers between those who sought to be as much like Spain as possible and those who sought autonomy from the mother country. 22 March The Spanish Crown abolished slavery in Puerto Rico. March formed the Autonomous Party that tried to create a political and legal identity for Puerto Rico while emulating Spain in all political matters. U.S. foreign policy is influenced by Alfred T. Mahan who wrote The Influence of Sea Power upon history, 1660-1783
