To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" The General and Admiral arranged a plan of campaign by land and sea that would minimize the shedding of American blood and shed as much Spanish blood as Spain required in a hopeless combat. The Admiral had been there long enough to know the whole situation. He had it re- duced to diagrams. The old Spanish fort by the sea that was in the way of cap- turing Manila was made untenable by the fire of the fleet, not upon any part of the city but on "the defences of the city. " The barrier removed, ...the American army advanced, and it was said the Filipino besiegers did rather more firing on the Ameri- cans than the Spaniards did, but the euphemism of the description of this co-op- eration was that it was a Tagalo mistake, and as there was no one hurt by it, the shooting was overlooked in a great measure, but well remembered by a few thought- ful observers. The Filipinos did less in the conquest of Manila than the Cubans in the siege of Santiago, for there were Cubans who delayed a Spanish column.
