I arrived here on July 7. Admiral Dewey
and General Anderson received mmmc cordiaily
and gave mc quarters with the offlccrs of
the Fourteenth regiment infantry.
Time American troops are a fine looking
body of amen , but time discipline is easy
and not at all comnparable to that of an
English 'olummteer corps. Timeir ciotiming Is
heavy for a warm ciixmiatc , anti I fear the
Inca will suffer from heat silouiti field operations -
tions be necessary for the capture of Manila.
There are about 160 cases in the hospital ,
cimlefly complaints causetl by eating fruit
or drinkimmg ueflitereti watr , A steamner
arrived on time fitim from Australia with 3,000
frozen carcasses for the American forces ,

This explains why tiw discIplIned regulars

shed wIll result. It is possible that the
