Best answer is:
<span>Realizing the strategic value of the Philippines, the United States ordered a surprise attack on the Spanish fleet as soon as war was declared.

The United States feared that its West Coast was vulnerable to an attack from the Pacific, and realized the strategic value of the Philippines. The US was also concerned that another Great Power, such as Germany, may capitalize on the chaos created by the war and try to take the Philippines for itself. </span><span />
