Rizal’s survival
Rizal’s survival

On 1896, Rizal and Josephine Bracken would be able to go to Cuba and was able to serve in Cuba to minster victims of Yellow Fever in Cuba and later goes on to the United States which would mean that his third book, Kamandagan would be finished which is about Luzon and his own research about Luzon which the Malay Historians call as Selurong and during that time, Katipunan would be in their height and Katipunan, Rizal’s book would reveal the history of Selurong before the Spanish came which would foster the identity of Selurong or Katagalugan as a country.

It was revealed that Rizal was framed up and was said to be loyal to the Spanish until the end and recanted his own involvement in Katipunan, the novel Kamandagan which is based on Rizal’s research is published initially in the United States and later in the Philippines.

On 1898, the Spanish would cede the Territory of Luzon also known as Selurong and Katagalugan and Cuba to the Americans as the Spanish have been defeated in these territories in order to prevent a hostile war with America who have interests in Cuba and in the Far East as well, however, Cuba would be temporary protectorate.

Rizal and Isabelo delos Reyes would write up literature about the history of Selurong/Luzon/Tagalog Republic as a separate country on 1899.

The protectorate status would be praised by other people like Mark Twain as a smart move but it was said by some as a not so smart move as Mindanao went to the Germans then to the British and Malaysians after the fall of the German Empire due to the revolt against it by the communist.

The Spanish designated Iloilo City as the colonial government's capital after Manila fell to the Tagalog Republic on August 13, 1898, and later installed Roque Lopez as president of the provisional government in Santa Barbara town in Iloilo. Diego de los Ríos was named Governor General over the Philippines. The Spanish armed the Iloilo Voluntarios, a battalion composed mainly of Ilonggos believing that they are loyal to the Spanish crown. However, Ilonggo revolutionaries, calling themselves the "Ejercito Libertador", started a revolt gaining control of all of Panay within days, except for Iloilo City, Jaro, La Paz and Molo.

The Americans would aid the Spanish after they ceded the Tagalog republic under Bonifacio and Makabulos to the Americans which would mean that the Americans and the Spanish would brought down the Federal Republic of Visayas and put its territory under Spanish rule again, the American troops would ransack Panay and helped the Spanish reestablish control in the area.

During the 19th century, the Spanish Empire lost most of its colonies to independence movements. Then came the Spanish humiliation by the Tagalog republic and Cuba which were given to the United States as protectorates. This left Spain with only its African possessions and the 2/3s of the old colony of the Philippines and parts of its Pacific possessions. The Spanish government, therefore, decided to sell Mindanao, Caroline Islands and the Northern Mariana Islands to Germany.

The Spanish Prime Minister Francisco Silvela signed the treaty on February 12, 1899. It transferred Mindanao, Caroline Islands and Mariana Islands to Germany.
 
Guangxu Restoration
Guangxu Restoration

In June 1898, the emperor began the Hundred Days' Reform, aimed at a series of sweeping political, legal and social changes. For a brief time, after Cixi's supposed retirement, the Zaitian, Emperor Guangxu issued edicts for a massive number of far-reaching modernizing reforms with the help of more progressive officials such as Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao.

The British would ditch the Japanese as allies and shifted their alliance with the Chinese under Qing who would prove a valuable ally to the British Empire which would prevent any coups and Queen Victoria and Guangxu would meet on 1899 just before her own death on 1903.

Emperor Zaitian(Guangxu) is said to be a good friend of Queen Victoria, who herself was impressed on his own talents.

The British would prevent the coups that are plotted by Cixi and Shikai and a decade later after he would be later raised by his own heir Puyi known as Xuantong Emperor and Emperor Harry, his own nephew and continue his own term until the end of his reign in 1920.
