The Capture of Manila : The Glorious History of August 13, 1898 by Lt. Col. I. E. F. Ys (1928) by Pacita G. Fernandez

"During the years of the American occupation, August 13 was a holiday called 'Occupation Day.' The day commemorated the American occupation of Manila in 1898, after a mock battle - a face saving gesture - against the Spaniards. During that day, the U. S. Army would march proudly in Manila in remembrance of the supposedly glorious American occupation." -Excerpts from the Foreword.
