GEN. SREENE's REPORT,
Operations of the Second Brigade he.
fore Manila

The report of Major General F. V
Greene, who commanded the ID Brigade.
I'd Division of the sth Army Corps at the
battle of Manila in August gives in detail
the operations of his brigade, described in
more general terms in the reports of Gen.
erals Merritt and Anderson. heretofore pub
nshed in The Star. His brigade consisted
of the list Colorado, LIST Nebraska and 10th
Pennsylvania, and the LIST and I'd Battalions
of the 18th Infantry. Batteries a and Il
of the Utah Artillery, a detachment of
Company A. Engineer Battalion, LIST Cali
fornia, list and Sd Battalions. Sd Artillery
Company A, Engineer Battalion.
This brigade says General Greene
reached Manila bay July IL landed and es-
ta5Ilshed camp July 1871; was attacked by
the Spaniards July 81, August l. August =
and August .: led the advance in the at
tack and capture Of Manila August b
Our losses We're sixteen killed and sixty-six
wounded 1t Is impossible to give any ac-
curate figures of the losses of the Span
iards, hut it is probably safe to say that
their losses from August l TO II were at
least forty killed and 100 wounded
The manner in which the troops Per
formed their duties, whether fighting
working in the trenches or sitting still un-
der fire with strict orders not to return it
IS worthy of the very highest praise
The resistance encountered on the 18th
was much less than anticipated and
planned for but had the resistance been
greater the result would have been the
same, only the loss would have been great
err Fortunately the great result of captur-
ing this city, the seat of Spanish power in
the east for more than 300 years was ac-
complshed with a loss of life comparative
ly insignificant.
General Greene's account of the events
from the day of his landing up to the 18th
OF August, the date of the decisive battle
shows that his troops Were constantly on
he daf SiU and rhnt oil ,afs
employed in skirmishes of greater or less
Importance.
General Greene expresses appreciation of
the services rendered by Captain T B.
Mott, aid-de-camp to the major general
commanding. to the members of his own
staff. Captain W. g. Bates assistant ad-
jutant general; Lieut.. Schuyler Schiefflin

all carried orders under fire, fortunately
without casualties.
