Note 11 — Treaty of Peace
Reading edition
Captain T. Bentley Mott, A.D.C to General Merritt, writing in Scribnerʼs Magazine (December, 1898) says: “Neither the fleet nor the army was, at this time, ready for a general engagement. The army did not have, all told, enough ammunition for more than one day of hard fighting, and only a part of this was in the camp.” Admiral Dewey had then been in possession of Manila bay and port three months and 12 days.
