Gen. Nagano told King that a representative of the Japanese 14th Army would soon arrive and at 11:00 AM a Col. Motoo Nakayama, senior operations officer for the 14th Army. Col. Nakayama thought Gen. King was Gen. Wainwright. When King explained that he was not Gen. Wainwright, Col. Nakayama told King to go get Wainwright, King explained he could not contact Wainwright and he only had authority to surrender the forces on Bataan, not the Filipino-American forces of the Philippines. Col. Nakayama replied that he could not accept a piecemeal surrender of just the Bataan forces.
Sa ginawang ito, mayroon kayang kabayaran na naman na nangyari? Ika-9:35 ng umaga, Agosto 13, 1898, ang Gringong bapor na Olimpia at tatlo pa nilang bapor na pangdigma sa pamumuno ni George Dewey, ay patuloy sa pagkanyon sa Fort San Antonio Abad at na nagiingat na huwag tamaan ang Intramuros. Matapos ang pagkanyon na isinagawa, tulad ng Kastilang Admirante Patricio Montojo, si Juadenes ay winagayway ang puting bandila, bilang pagsuko nila sa mga Amerikano. Ika-11:20 ng umaga, ang hukbong Amerikano ay pumasok sa lunsod ng Intramuros (Maynila) at kanilang itinirik ang bandilang Gringo.
