THE TAKING OF MANILA CITY Protest of the Governor General After Peace Protocol. THE INSURGENTS Maj Gen. Westey Merritt, commanding the United States military forces in the Philippincs, has made a report to the War Departmeat of the military operations in the Philippines which culminated in the capture and occupation of Manila August 13. He ys that in obedience to instruc- ns from the ent, he embarked, with his staff, at San Francisee on the sieamer Newport June 188s, and arrived at Ca- vite, Manila bay, July 25. He says he found the military situation there as follows: The Military Situation. The American fleet of warships, com- manded by Rear Admiral George Dew Was anchored in line off Cavite and j outside of the transports and supply ‘ves- seis engaged in the military service. The distinguished admiral above mentioned was in full control of the navigation of the and his vessels passed and repassed wi range of the water batteries of the town of Manila without drawing the fire of the en- emy.

The Filipinos, or insurgent forces at war with Spain, had, prior to the arrival of the American land forces, been waging a de- sultory warfare with the Spaniards for several months, and were at the time of my arrival in considerable force, variously estimated and never accurately ascertain- ed, but probably not far from 12,000 men. ‘These troops, well supplied with small . with plenty of ammunition and sev- “ld guns, had obtained positions of tment opposite to the Spanish line of detached works throughout their entire ex- and on the particular road called the Re passing along the front of Gen. Gree brigade camp and running through to Manila, the insurgents had established an earthwork or trench within $00 yards of the powder-magazine fort. They also occupied as well the road to the right, leading from the village of nd the approach by the beach ) in their possession. This anoma- state of affairs, namely, having a line of quasi-hostile native troops between our forces and the Spanish position, was, of course, very objectionable, but it was difti- cult to deal with, owing to the peculiar condition of our relations with the tnsur- gents, which may be briefly stated as fol- lows. iy after the naval battle of Manila Pay,®he principal leader of the insurgent: Ge Emilio Aguinaldo, came to Cavite and, with the consent of began active work in raising nd pushing the Span- jards in the direction of the city of Manil: Having met with some suc: and the natives flocking to his assistance claime: publ » he pro- j an independent government of re- an form, with himself as president, at the time of my arrival in the islands the entire edifice of ex utive and legisi: live departments and sub ision of terr tory fer administrative purposes had been accom hed, at and the least on pap Filipmos heid military possession of many points in the islands other than those in the vicinity of nila. As General Aguinaldo did not visit me on arrival nor offer his servic S$ a sub- der, and instruc- tions from t ident fully contemplat- ed the occupation American powers of th tute up of the islands by and stated t ary occupant ar i immediately operate mndition of the inhabit- ants,” I nt consider it wise to hold any direct communication with the insur- gent leader until I should be in possession of the city of Manila, especially as I would not unui then be in a position to issue a and enforce my authority, in the event that his pretensions should clash with my designs. For these reasons the preparations for the attack on the city were pressed and military operations conducted without ref- erence to the situation of the insurgent forces. The wisdom of this course was sub- sequently fully established by the fact that when the troops of my command carried the Spanish intrenchments, extending from the sea to the Pasay road on the extreme Spanish right,we were under no obligations, by prearranged plans of mutual attack, to turn to the right and clear the front still held against the insurgents, but were able to move forward at once and occupy the city and suburbs. To return to the situation of General Greene's brigade as I found it on my ar- rival, it will be seen that the difficulty int inte the formal terms of capitulation, ag {| thorities, wnich was done at once. This gaining an avenue of approach to the Span- | ish line lay in the fact of my disinclination to ask General Aguinaldo to withdraw from the beach and the “Calle Real," so that Greene could move forward. This was overcome by instructions to General Greene to arrange, if possible, with the insurgent brigade commander in his immediate vicin- ity to move to the right and allow the American forces unobstructed control of the roads in their immediate front. No ob- jection was made, and accordingly General Greene’s brigade threw forward a heavy outpost line on the ‘Calle Real’? and the beach and constructed a trench, in which a portion of the guns of the Utah batteries was placed. The Spanish Attacks. The Spanish, observing this activity on our part, made a very sharp attack with infantry and artillery on the night of July 31 The behavior of our troops during this n'ght attack was all that could be desired, and I have, in cablegrams to the War De- partment, taken occasion to commend by name those who ceserve special mention for good conduct in the affair. (For partic- ulars of the action see the appended re- perts of the brigade commander.) Our po- sition was extended and strengthened after this and resisted successfully repealed night attacks, our forces suffering, how- ever, considerable loss in wounded and kill- ed, while the losses of the enemy, owing to the darkness, could not be ascertained. The strain of the night fighting aud the heavy details for outpost duty made it im- perative to re-enforce Gen. Greene’s troops with Gen. MacArthur's brigade, which had arrived in transports on the 3ist of July. The difficulties of this operation can hardly be overesti ed. The transports were at anchor off Cavite, five miles from a point on the beach where it was desired to dis- embark the men. Several squalls, accom- panied by floods of rain, raged day after day, and the only way to get the troops and supplies ashore was to load them from the ship's side into native lighters (called “cascos"') or small steamboats, move them to a point opposite the camp, and then dis- embark them through the surf In smail boats, or by running the lighters head-on to the beach. The landing was finaily ac- complished, after days of hard work and hardship; and I desire here to express admiration for the fortitude and illingness of the men of ali com- manés engaged in this operation. Upon the assembly of MacArthur's bri- gade in support of Green I had about 4,500 men in position to attack, and 1 deem- ed tle time had come for final action. Dur- ing the time of the night attacks I had communicated my desire to Admiral Dewey that he would allow his ships to open fire en the right of the Spanish line of intrench- ments, believing that such action would stop the night firing and loss of life, but the admiral had declined to order it unless we were in danger of losing our position by the assaults of the Spanish, for the reason that, in his opinion, it would precipitate a general engagement, for which he was not read Now, however, the brigade of Gen. Mai thur was in position and the Monterey had arrived, and under date of August 6 Admir- al Dewey agreed to my suggestion that we should send a joint letter to the captain general notifying him that he should re- move from the city all noncombatants within forty-eight hours, and that opera- the defenses of Manila might any time after the expiration of that period. Demand for Surrender. This letter sent August 7, and a reply was received the same date, to the effect that the Spanish were without places of refuge for the increased numbers of wound- ed, sick women, and children now lodged within the walls. On the 9th a formal joint demand for the surrender of the city was sent in. This demand was based upon the hopelessness of the struggle on the part of the Spaniards, and that cvery consideratiog of humanity demanded that the city should not be subjected to bombardment under such circumstan The captain general reply, of same date, stated that the council of defense had declared that the demand could not be granted; but the captain gen- eral offered to consult his government if we would allow him the time strictly necessary for the communications by way of Hong on; This was declined on our part for the reason that it could, in the opinion of the admiral and myself, lead only to a con- tinuance of the situation, with no immedi- ate result favorable to us, and the necessity was apparent and very urgent that decisive action should be taken at once to compel the enemy to give up the town, in order to relieve our troops from the trenches and from the great exposure to unhealthy con- ditions which were unavoidable in a bivouac during the rainy season. The seacoast bat- teries in defense of Manila are so situated that it is impossible for ships to engage them witbout firing into the town, and as the bombardment of a city filled with women and children, sick and wounded, and containing a large amount of neutral property, could only be justified as a last resort, it was agreed between Admiral Dewey and myself that an attempt should be made to carry the extreme right of the Spanish line of intrenchments in front of the positions at that time occupied by our troops, which, with its flank on the sea- shore, was entirely open to the fire of the navy It was not my intention to preas the as- sault at this point, in case the enemy should hold it in strong force, until after the navy had made practicable breaches in the works and shaken the troops holding them, which could not be done by the army alone, owing to the abs of siege guns. This is indi- cated fully in the orders and memorandum of attack hereto appended. It was believed, however, as most desirable, and in accord: ance with the principles of civilized war- fare, that tre attempt should be made to drive the enemy out of his intrenchments pata resorting to the bombardment of the elty. By orders issued some time preyiously MacArthur's and Greene's brigades were organized as the Second Division of the Sth Army Corps, Brigadier General Thomas M Anderson commanding; and in anticipa- tion of the attack General Anderson moved his headquarters from Cavite to the bri- gade camps and assumed direct command in the field. Copies of the written and verbal instructions, referred to above and appended hereto, were given to the division and brigade commanders on the 12th, and all the troops were in position on the 13th at an eurly hour in the morning. Fired by the Fleet. About 9 a.m. on that day our fleet steamed. forward from Cavite and before 10 a.m. opened a hot and accurate fire of heavy shells and rapid-fire projectiles on the sea tank of the Spanish intrenchments at the powder magazine fort, and at the same Utak batteries, in position in our near the “Calle Real,” began firing with great accuracy. At 10:25, on a pre- arranged signat from our trenches that it ‘eved our troops could advance, the navy ceased firing, and immediately a light line of skirmishers from the Colorado regi- ment of Greene's brigade passed over our trenches and deployed rapidly forward, another line from the same regiment from the left flank of our earthworks advancing swiftly up the beach in open order. Both these Hines found the powder magazine fort and the trenches flanking it deserted, but a3 they passed over the Spanish works they were met by a sharp fire from a_ second line situated in the streets of Malate, by which a number of men were killed and wounded, among others the soldier who pulled down the Spanish colors still flying on the fort and raised our own. The works of the second Ine soon gave way to the determined advance of Greene's troops, and that officer pushed his brigade rapidly through Malate and over the bridges to occupy Binondo and San Miguel, as contemplated in his instructions. In the meantime the brigade of General MacAr- thur, advancing simultaneously on the Pa- say road, encountered a very sharp fire, coming from the block houses, trenches and woods in his front, positions which it was very difficult to carry, owing to the swampy condition of the ground on both sides of the roads and the heavy under- growth concealing the enemy. With much gallantry and excellent judgment on the part of the brigade commander and the troops engaged these difficulties were over- come with a minimum loss, and MacArthur advanced and held the bridges and the town of Malate, as was contempiated in his instructions. ‘The city of Manila was now in our pos- sessioa, excepting the walled town, but short'y after the entry of our troops into Malate a white fag was displayed on the walls, whereupon Lieut. Col. C. A. Whit- tier, United States volunteers, of my staff, and Lieutenant Brumby, United States navy, representing Admiral Dewey, were sent ashore to commynicate with the cap- tain general. I soon personally followed these officers into the town, going at once to the palace of the governor general, and there, after a conversation with the Span- ish: authorities, a preliminary ‘eement of the terms of capitulation was ed by the captain general and myself.
