Miércoles 20 de Julio 1898

Sábese en Manila con absoluta certeza aunque no es público, que la escuadra de Cámara ha recibido orden de volver á España. (…) Desde anteayer está el “Boston” junto á Parañaque protegiendo el desembarco y acampamiento de tropas yanquis en aquella playa. Es de temer que preparen ataque formal por aquel lado.

It is known in Manila with absolute certainty, although it is not public, that Camara’s squadron has received an order to return to Spain. (…) Since the day before yesterday, the “Boston” has been moored next to Parañaque, protecting the landing and encampment of Yankee troops on that beach. It is to be feared that they prepare a formal attack from that side.
