Glass went ashore and raised an American flag over the fortifications while the bands aboard "Australia" and "City of Peking" played "The Star-Spangled Banner". His orders included destroying the island's forts, but Glass decided that they were in such disrepair that he left them as they were. Francisco Portusach and his workers finally completed transferring the coal from "City of Peking" to "Charleston" on June 22. Afterward, Glass took him to his cabin, and appointed him Governor of the island, until the arrival of proper American authority. After saying goodbye to the natives, "Charleston" and the three transports left the harbor at 16:00, and later joined George Dewey's fleet at Manila.
