Nbsp;    Sina Sultan Jamalul Kiram II, Rajah Muda, Datu Calbi, Datu Attik, at Datu Joakanain ay mapayapang nakipagkasundo kay US Representative General John C. Bates. Noong Agosto 20, 1899, nilagdaan nila ang tinatawag na Bates Treaty. Ang mga sumusunod ay ilan sa mga probisyon nito:
- Kinilala ang soberanya ng US sa Sulu Archipelago;
- paggalang sa mga karapatan at dignidad ng Sultan at ng kanyang Datu;
- paggalang sa pananampalataya at tradisyon ng mga Muslim;
- pagbabayad sa sultan at sa kanyang matataas na tauhan ng buwanang suweldo sa Mexican pesos sa US.

     Nakatuon ang mga Amerikano sa pagkatalo sa mga Kristiyanong Pilipino sa pamamagitan ng pakikipagkasundo sa mga Muslim. Ginamit lamang ang kasunduan bilang isang istratehiya para sa mga pwersang Amerikano na tumutok sa hilagang rehiyon ng Pilipinas. Noong Marso 2, 1904, ang kasunduan ay agad ding pinawalang-bisa.
