Cavite. June 10 via Victoria. b. c., July 10
One hundred and eghty-fve wounded Spanish
troops were sent into Manila tonight. under the
Red Cross of Geneva. They were part OF the
fruits of the harassing campaign that the rebels
have conducted against Manila for seven weeks.
and their removal was alike relief to them
selves and TO their captols. That many OF them
lived to get back to their beloved Manila is due
almost entirely to the skill and sacrifice Of the
American surgeons. The insurgents treated the
wounded Spaniards kindly enough. but they
lacked facilities to bring them from the field,
modern hospital appliances and the skill 10 treat
them surgicay medically.
When they were tardily brought within reach
they were promptly and skfully treated by the
surgeons from the American cruisers Dr. G. -
