Victory in the Philippines Debacle by Dewey in Manila Bay
The Asiatic squadron under Admiral Dewey destroyed the Spanish fleet in a Manila Bay battle Sunday morning. Manila demanded surrender with 24 hours given the governor general. By Monday evening the cable failed, unclear word on capitulation, yet reports circulated that Manila and the Philippines would be American. The islands lie far from the U.S. in the Pacific and Luzon hosts Manila, a rich city of about 250,000. The territory, largely unexplored, holds savage interior tribes and faces tropical storms. Dewey’s victory stands as the most decisive act in the conflict so far.

The government will not accept private money to fund the war. Helen Gould offered 100000 to help free Cuba but the offer was refused. Spain is raising funds by any means.

Iowa troop movements are uncertain, with training at Des Moines seen as valuable for future service. John C Fremont was the first to land in Cuba since the war began.
