Very few copies must have been printed of this report, aimed at convincing the judges that the result of the defeat was not the result of the military’s incompetence, but of years of neglect of the military contingent in the Philippines, the lack of basic materials - including the soldiers’ food rations - and of having obeyed the irresponsible orders of politicians who cared little for the lives of the soldiers. To prove his assertions, he describes in detail the state of the infantry and navy before the war began, insisting on the lack of a military naval port. It is a detailed report of the different operations carried out by the Spanish Navy until the capitulation in August 1898. Very interesting. Very rare.
