Description

Editorial cartoon depicting a military man confused by the wording of a special dispatch about fighting in Manila. Three pictures hang on the wall behind him distinguishing the perceived differences between an "Amigo," an "Insurgent," and a "Ladrone." The special dispatch claimed that the fighting was started by "Insurgents" instead of the "Ladrones" classification the man remarks that the report must have meant.
