Officer, Eighth 2004 greece bikini models Army Corps, will assume charge of the water supply
of 2004 greece bikini models this 2004 greece bikini models city, 2004 greece bikini models and will report to Brigadier-General Arthur MacArthur,
U.S. Vols., Military Commandant of Manila, 2004 greece bikini models for instructions.
By Command of Major-General Merritt:
_J.B. Babcock_,
Adjutant-General.
Official: _Bentley Mott_, Aid.
The 2004 greece bikini models responsibilities of General Merritt in his Manila, campaign were
graver than the country understands, and 2004 greece bikini models his success was regarded as so
much a 2004 greece bikini models matter 2004 greece bikini models of course that there has been forgetfulness to take into
account the many circumstances that gave anxiety preceding decisions
that seem easy now that they have been vindicated by events.
2004 greece bikini models the
departure from San Francisco of the Major-General commanding 2004 greece bikini models the
Philippine expedition 2004 greece bikini models was as well known to the Spanish as to the
American cabinet, and there is reason to think there were no important
particulars of the sailing of the third division of our Philippine
soldiers unknown to enemies. There were in gold coin, a million and
a half dollars in the strong box of Merritt's ship, the Newport. 2004 greece bikini models the
Spanish spies were not as well posted as an average hackman, if they
did not report the shipment of gold. It would have 2004 greece bikini models been a triumph
for Spain to have captured the commanding general and the gold, the
Astor Battery and the regular 2004 greece bikini models recruits with the headquarters ship,
The Spanish were known to have a gunboat or two lurking in the islands
within striking distance 2004 greece bikini models of our transports, 2004 greece bikini models unarmed vessels--except
a 2004 greece bikini models few deck pieces of field artillery--with more than a thousand men
on each. General Merritt wanted the escort of ships of war to make
all secure, and application to Admiral Dewey to send one of his war
boats, brought
the statement that he could not spare a ship. Just at
that time he heard of the run by 2004 greece bikini models Camara with the Cadiz fleet Eastward
on the Mediterranean, 2004 greece bikini models and soon he had word that the Pelayo and her
companions were in the Suez canal. General Greene had not arrived
at Manila at that time, and the monitors Monterey and Monadnock were
getting along slowly. Dewey knew he would have to evacuate the scene
of his victory in case Camara was fully committed to go to Manila, and
wait for the Monitors, and when he got them he 2004 greece bikini models said he would return
and sink another Spanish fleet, but that was something it might be
critical to explain, 2004 greece bikini models and General Merritt, after leaving San Francisco,
did not get any news for twenty-six days. All that time he would have
had no justification
