And you found nothing to cause any doubt as to his loyalty up to the time until after Manila surrendered?
"_Admiral Dewey_.

His loyalty to whom?
"_Senator Patterson_.

To you and to the cause for which he was fighting?
"_Admiral Dewey_.

I began to suspect he was not loyal to us about the time our troops arrived, when he demurred at moving out of Cavite to make room for our troops.
"_Senator Patterson_.

Do you mean by that that you feared that he was commencing to think more of independence than the success of the American cause?
"_Admiral Dewey_.
