	Manila Bay
		The Spanish admiral decided that returning the squadron to the anchorage at Manila, which was surrounded by many batteries and fortifications, would be unwise, since this would invite the destruction of the city itself by the guns of the enemy's squadron.
		Realizing that running out of ammunition could spell the end of his squadron, and not being able to determine the extent of the damage to the Spanish vessels amidst the smoke of battle, Dewey decided to withdraw to redistribute ammunition and assess the entire situation.
		Chief Engineer Randall of the HUGH McCULLOCH had passed away from a heart attack as the squadron entered Manila Bay, but may be considered a casualty of the battle also, since his conditon may have been the result of the tension of the moment and the heat of the engine rooms.

		DISTURBING THE MORNING CALM The U.S. Asiatic Squadron, based in Japan, was dispatched to the "Land of the Morning Calm" to negotiate a treaty of commerce and friendship, but instead sailed away with tales of a ferocious battle with diehard warriors.
		Asiatic Squadron Marine Officer Capt. McLane Tilton remembered "the topography of the country as being indescribable, resembling a sort of chopped sea, of immense hills and deep ravines lying in every conceivable position." Defending these formidable breastworks were 3,000 white-clad troops under Gen. O Yu-jun, including the fierce "Tiger Hunters"-the elite of the Korean army.
		The ships of the Navy's Asiatic Squadron consisted of the frigate USS Colorado, corvettes USS Alaska and USS Benicia, and gunboats Monacacy and Palos.

		The squadron was warned the next day of the near approach of a typhoon which had veered suddenly to head for Manila from its original path to the east of Luzon.
