Greatly though justice may suffer, and risking well-founded fears in regard to my city, I do not insist upon the retention of all the positions con- quered by my forces within the environs at the cost of much bloodshed, unspeakable fatigue, and much money." This was plain mendacity. So far as there was a Filipino siege of Manila it had been going on for some months before there was war between the United States and Spain, Aguinaldo's pecuniary absence not being perceptible, and the part they pl...ayed was not considerable and made no change in the situation. The Filipinos conquered nothing, and the only way to prevent them from sacking and burning the city was to keep them out of it. They were in the way with their trenches and had to be removed. They did not want to fight so earnestly as to stay. General Merritt, August 20, addressed a letter to "the Commanding General of the Filipino forces," in which he said: "The Major- General having taken for his own use the palace at Malacanan, the request that it be turned over to the Filijjinos cannot be granted." More and more the plot of the devil-child was revealed.
