Ahoy Shipmates

While half the Fleet was enjoying the hospitality of the Empress of China, the other half return to Subic Bay to conduct gunnery practice.

On November 8th the fleet regrouped from the visit to Amoy and entered Manila Bay. It was Admiral Sperry's wish to visit the city but the epidemic was worse than before.

American prestige was suffering as the Manila Times stated that Admiral Sperry behavior "has persisted in a line of boorish and rude to the extreme, and was absolutely unwarranted and unpardonable."
