Although he admits the assistance Of
the Americans he talks of his author

thorities in absurd terms. He has
commanded the insurgents on the
southern approaches to Manila to hold
their bullooks and ponies and not to
furnish them to the Americans for
transportation without his sanction.
General Merritt adopted firm measures
warning Aguinaldo that force will be
used to impress the means of transport,
which were ultimately forthcoming.
Aguinaldo's action makes the attack
on Manila problematical.
