He Tells OF the Military operations At
Manila and Gives Much Praise to His
Soldiers.
Washington, Oct. 1.-The report of
Mai. Gen. Merritt, of the operations
about Manila, was made public Friday.
After giving briefly the story of his
embarkation and arrival at Manila,
and the disposition of the troops there
he says:
"I found Gen. Greene's command en-
camped on a strip of sandy land run
ming parallel to the shore of the bay
and not far distant from the beach,
but. owing to the great difficulties OF
landing supplies, the greater portion
of the force had shelter tents only
and were suffering many discomforts,
the camp being situated in a low, fiat
place, without shelter from the heat
of the tropical sun or adequate protec-
ton during the terrific downpour of
rain. | was at once struck by the
spirit of patient, even cheerful endur-
ance shown by the officers and men
under such circumstances, and this
feeling of admiration for the manner
in which the American soldiers accept
the necessary hardships of the work
they have undertaken to do, has grown
and increased with every phase of the
difficult and trying campaign which
the troops of the Philippine expedition
have brought to such brilliant and
successful conclusion"
The remainder of the report treats
in detail of the operations that led to
the capture of Manila and contains lit
tie that has not been given to the pub
lie through the press dispatches from
time to time.

Amid squalor and filth. Mrs.
Buckley, aged about rs years,
and Leon Buckley, an adopted
son, abont so years old were
found dead in their old dilapi-
dated home in West Rockhill

Patrol boat duty on the

for movements of a hostile feet.
One of the swift torpedo boats
on watch last night proceeded
toward Havana till she was di-
rectly beneath the lights of
MORO Castle. Nothing unusual
was noticed. No new men-of-
war had apparently entered the
harbor, and no movements of
the Spanish vessels in the di-
rection of Key West or Tortu-
gas we're noticed.
Had the slightest movement
looking to an attack been made
the torpedo boat Vidette was
ready to torpedo the enemy and
then run and give the alarm to
the squadron afterward. When
it is remembered that these
boats can make 80 miles an
hour, the run from Havana here
on one of them can be put al
three hours.
This watch of the Spanish
harbor by the Hornet feet will
be kept going until peace oil
war comes"
