Lieut.. Brumby. [. 5. ~, representing
Admiral Dewey. We're sent asherc to
communicate with the Captain General.
In leaving the subject Of the operaa-
tions of the 18Th, | desire here to record
my appreciation of the admirable manner
III which the orders for attack and the
plan for occupation Of the city were
carried out by the troops exactly rs con
tcmplated.
1T Will be observed that the trophies
of Manila were nearly 100000, 1000
prisoners and 2,G0O arms
General Merritt then details the inau
guration Of the military government of
Manila by the Americans. Further he
says:
"On the 10th cabegram containing
the text OF the Presidents proclama-
ton, directing 4 cessation Of hostiltes
was ircceived by me, and at the same
time an order to make the fact known to
the Spanish authorities which was done
at once This resulted III 4 formal pro.
test from the Governor General in regard
to the transfer Of public funds then taki
ing place, on the ground that the procv
lamation was dated prior to the surf
render. To this | replied that the status
quo in which we were left with the ces.
satiOn Of hoStiliticS was that existing
at the time of the receipt by me Of the
official notice. and that | must insist
upon the delivery of the funds. The de
livery was made under protest.
After the issue Of my proclamation
and the establishment of my office as
military governor. l had direct written
communication with General Aguinaldo
on several occasions. He recognized my
authority as military governor of the
town of Manila. and surburhs. and made
professions of his Willingness to with
draw his troops to Il line which | might
indicate, but at the same time asking
certain fayors for himself The matters
in this connection had not been settled
at the date Of my departure. Doubtless
much dissatisfaction IS felt 10y the rank
and file Of the insurgents that they have
not been permitted to enjoy the occu-
pancy- of Manila. and there IS some good
ground for trouble with them owing to
that fact but notwithstanding many ru-
mors to the contrary ! am Of the opinion
that the leaders will be able to prevent
serious disturbances. AZ they are suffl-
cientIy intelligent and educated to know
that to antagOnize the United States
would be to destroy their only chance
of future political Improvement.
Il may add that great changes for
the better have taken place in Manila
since the occupancy Of the city by tt
American troops.
In concluding his report General Mcr-
rift declares his indebtedness for the
success Of the expedition to the brigade
and division commanders, the members
of his staff and his personal aides. lie
commcndS especially Brigadicr General
L. +. Hughes Rrigadior General Bah
cock Major General Mcclure, Major
