Guam was a Spanish Colony and therefore it was a US target. It was a bloodless takeover. Guam was of use as a coaling station. All coal powered steam Navies needed places to re-coal their fleets. It was important, strategically, and also allowed the merchant marine to re-coal. It gave us a life line between Hawaii and the Philippines; which opened up the orient to US interests. What is taken in war can be kept, what is stolen after the war as an after thought is not allowed. We also took Cuba and Porto Rico. After WW1 we would end up with some of the German south sea islands, as coaling stations and strategic points needed to control the choke points of the ocean world after the Mahan theory which is still valid.
Among the reason to take the Philippines was to prevent Germany or Japan from taking it over. The US wanted a Naval Base and Coaling Station in the Pacific, but was not interested in owning the Philippines. The fear was that if they did not take over the Philippines from Spain, the Spanish might find a buyer that was hostile to American interests.
