Capitolo 30
American commanders from the telegrams that I received during that day
from General Anderson that connected me from Maitubig that he/she asks to me to publish
you order that our troops prevent to digitize Manila an application that I did,
doesn't consent with because it was not in conformity with the accord,
and it was, it diametrically opposed besides to the tall ends of the,
Revolutionary government that after having gone to the trouble to besiege
Manila for two months and a half, sacrificing thousand of the lives and
millions of affairs of material, should be imagined such sacrifices
you/he/she was done with some other object in sight that the capture of Manila
and the Spanish garrison that stubbornly defenses the city.
But General that Merritt, persistent in his/her sketches you/he/she has not only implored me
through the admiral but also through Greater Bell to withdraw mine
troops from the suburbs to (as you/he/she was disputed) prevents the danger
of conflict that you/he/she will always be looked for in the event of double
military occupation; also doing so to avoid to bring ridiculous on
the American forces; offering, to the same duration, in three letters,
to negotiate after its wishes consent with. To this self I agreed,
although neither immediately neither to a duration, but making our troops
gradually retires above to the bunkers in order that the whole one of the
inhabitants of Manila should testify to the procedures of our troops
and the friendliness toward our American allies.
Above to that time, and in fact right above to the time when the Americans
the hostilities openly you start against us, I entertained in my soul
strongly it hopes that the American Commanders did absolute with
their Government the gentlemen's agreement did and entered in with the
Leader of the Philippine Revolution, despite the indications
contrarily that it was well visible in their behavior, especially
in respect of the behavior of Admiral Dewey that, without any reason
or the justification, one day in the month of grabbed October ours
steamboats and throwing.
