Development of Spain in a no Spanish American war TL

In a world where for whatever reason America never goes to war with Spain how does Spain and it's colonies develop.
 
Provided that the Americans didn't do anything to raise their manifest destiny card?

I never knew that Spain was developing their colonies, all I know is that they suck their colonies dry of its resources, keep people dumb with religion and spread disunity. Which is quiet effective if you look at it 19th century perspective...

Still the main reasons why colonies revolt is because of mismanagement. The Key is to keep the people happy and oblivious.
 
The Philippines would end up like Haiti and Dominican Republic it would be partitioned in the end that is what they do, they did that to Philippines before they gave up Sulawesi to the dutch which was because the Spanish were kicked out of Sulawesi, I think the Northern Part will either go to the Britain or Germany or France while the Southern Part will likely remain in Spain or sold or given to the Dutch, this I think would happen to Cuba as well.
