reproduced from photo taken in 1884

This photograph was taken for the official records of the Government, immediately after the surrender, and furnished for special publication in this work. Aguinaldo [actually it is General Tinio] and his chief-of-staff are the central figures in the line of officers at the back of the picture.




"Chinese flags are everywhere flying for the protection of lives and porperty of Chinese residents and merchants. These flags were always respected as covering neutrals and non-combatans."
