Capitolo 33
bringing that the Government of Washington, acting on Admiral Dewey
suggestion, had announced its intention to send a Committee Civile
to Manila that would treat with the Filipinos with a sight to arriving
to an understanding defined respect to the government of the Islands.
Joy and the satisfaction now filled the breasts of all the Revolutionary,
and I put on the appointment of a Committee to meet therefore the
American commissioners. To the same duration I gave severe orders that
the friendliest relationships should be maintained with the Americans,
tolerance that commands and neglecting some abuses and the atrocities
of the soldiery because the effect on the Commissioners would not be
good it they found us to them to loggerheads with the strengths of their nation.
But it now lowers him of the American ones you/he/she was becoming intolerable. In the
market-place to their Arroceros they killed a woman and a small boy under
the pretext that they was amazing a calm place of gambling, while causing so the
the greatest indignation of a great contest of people in that neighborhood.
Also, my Assistants that hold passages that allow them to digitize Manila
with their uniform and sidearms, you/he/she was molested being repeatedly
stopped by every patrol that they has satisfied, it being perfectly evident that,
the intention was to irritate showing them to them to public ridicule.
While this kind of thing was going on as against our people the
American and official commanders that visited our field were essays
with the maximum courtesy and the consideration.
In the street of Lacoste an American watch shot and killed a boy seven years
adult to take a banana from a Chinese.
The search of houses was continued in the moment in which he was during the
Spanish regime, while the American soldiers to the outposts often
invaded our lines, while irritating so our sentinels. It would do this
you book a very great volume if I continued to affirm seriatim the abuses
and atrocities committed from the American soldiery in those days of
general anxiety.
