II appears that this capture was effected
entirely By naval forces under the COM
mand Of Captain Wilde. and that Il was
not until after the capture had been ef-
fected that the place was turned over 10
Colonel Miller. who up TO that time had
nothing 10 do with its capture. This ac-
ton is endorsed by Admiral Dewey.
Captain Wilde's protest comes too late
10 be effective. as Colonel Miller was
promoted a brgadler-general February

capture OF Iliolo. and was retired in that
grade March 9TH. by operation of law.

Of General Miller's demand for them.
This is the naval story OF the battle OF
