A disastrous fight between United States troops and In surgents occurred yesterday In ihe Isl and of Samar, near Balanglga. A large body of insurgent attacked Company C, Ninth Infantry, only 24 members of the company escaping. All others are reported to have been killed. The company were at break fast when attacked and made a deter mined resistance; but the overwhelm ing numbers of the Insurgents compell ed them to retreat. Of the survivors who have arrived at Baseey, 11 are wounded. According to the latest returns the strength of the company was 72. The survivors include Captain Thomas W. Connelly, First Lieutenant Edward Bumpus and Dr. R. S. Griswold, sur geon. . Captain Edwin V. Bookmlller, of the Ninth Infdirtry, reports that General Hughes is assembling a force to at tack the Insurgents. The insurgents captured all the stores and ammunition of the company and all the rifles except 26.' jl Washington, Sept. 29. News of the disastrous fight between troops of the Ninth Infantry and the Insurgents on the Island of Samar yesterday was sent promptly by General Hughes, com mandlnsr In that island, to General Chaffee at Manila, and by him trans mltted to the War Department. It reached the Department during the early hours to-day and Adjutant Gen eral Corbin, realising its importance, at once made it public after sending t copy to the White House. General Chat fee's dispatch,, which agrees with the Associated Press dispatch Is as fol lows: "Manila, Sept. 29. "Adjutant General, Washington: "Hughes reports the folktwlng from Baseey, Southern Samar: Twenty-four men of Company C, Ninth Regiment, United States Infantry, eleven wound ed, have Just arrived from Balangiga The remainder of the company killed The Insurgents secured all the com pany supplies and all rifles except 12. The company was attacked during breakfast on the morning of September ft Th mmnanv was 72 strong. Offi cers. Thomas W. Connelly, captain; Kdward A. Rumpus, first lieutenant, and Dr. R. 8. Griswold, major surgeon escaped." The news created a sensation In offi cial circles. It was the first severe re verse that has occurred for a long time Still the officials were not unprepared for news of Just this .character from Samar. in which the revolution started by Agulnaldo still continues. Samar I a, country about as large as the State of Ohio and the American forces of occu patlon number in all between 2,000 and 2,600 men. These are distributed among various posts la the island, a large number being located at the more lm portant centres. Spain never made any effort to occupy Samar and it only ba been for probably three months past that the United States have undertaken the work. The latest report made by General Hughes to the War Depart ment was that the number of Insurgent rlflei In the Island aggregated about 300. The Filipinos carried 'on a guerilla warfare and operations agajnst them were difficult The disaster to Company C occurred, It Is believed, whllo Jt was engaged In an expedition to clear the country of roving bands of these In surgents. The fact that the Americans were attacked while at breakfast Indl cates the pluck and daring of the In surgents. Immediately upon receipt of the dis patch Adjutant General Corbin cabled General Chaffee to send A complete re port of the fight and a list of the cas ualties. A well-known official , of. the government. In speaking of this out break against the American forces In Bamar, said he regarded It as a: conse queries of the assassination of Prwl dent McKlnley. In All probability the Insurgents,, had received, he said, only meagre reports ot the tragedy and pos sibly believed the shooting to be the re sult, of some popular outbreak against the President. Natives had seised the opportunity in the flickering hope of re trieving some of their lost ground. Company C was a portion of the Ninth Regiment of United States In fantry, which went to China, at the time of the Boxer outbreak and which there performed valient service. Later the troops went to Manila and - were ngaged In provost duty In that city. During the ' past summer a battalion of the Ninth was sent to Samar. ,AU the officers connected with Company C, which was almost wiped out by the In surgents, are named In General Cho- fee dispatch, there ftelng no second lieutenant now wttJS the company. Cap tain Thomas W Connell, who ; com manded the company, was appointed to the Military Academy from New York In September, 1889, arid First tdeuten. ant Bumpus was appointed to the army from Massachusetts, having served as private In Company A, First Massa chusetts Heavy Artlljery. Surgeon Gris wold Is a recent addition to the army, having crossed the Pacific with Adju tant General Corbin on his recent trip to the Philippines. During his trip General Ccbln vis lted the island of Samar. It was Just seven weeks ago to-night, he remarked, when discussing the hews of the disas ter to Company C, that he was talking with General Hughes at Hollo about the condition of affairs tn the inland. The point where Company C was surprised he said, was a considerable distance from General Hughes' headquarters. He was not surprised at the attack on the troops in Samar, as that was one of the islands considered particularly trouble' some. The natives along the coaot are friendly but many of those in the lu- terlor are regarded as dangerous guer rillas. A Trusted ruiptaa Aeonttd of Blackmail. Mar.ila, Spt 29.-Jiian Cardona, who ntll recently was presldente of Gerona. province of Tirlac, and who was tp- polnttd secretary of the Tarlac provin- ial government, has been arrested on harge of Hocusing peoplo of crimes for the purpose of extorting money from them. Mote than 50 persons assert that they have been robbed by htm in this way, some stating that they have sur rendered title to property. Cardona had been considered one of ihe most relia ble natlvos holding pro-American views. An exitmlnntlon of his reconl, however, shows that for teveral yeari be was a bandit and that he served two terms of imprls6nment aggregating five years. The municipal authorities of Manila have passed an ordinance doubling tha size of the gate of the walled city In meir part or tve rortincauons. it .s possible that the military authorities will object. Otk Bayi It Doesn't Mean a 'Fide-spread Revolt i Chicago, Sept. 29.-General Elwell S Otis, in command of the Department of the Lakes, said to-night that the slaughter of the members of Company C, of the Ninth Infantry, In Samar, did not mean that there Is anything like widespread revolt In that province Concerning the disaster, General Otis said the Insurgent leader, Luck ban heads the natives, and he and 'his Tag- alo force have been instrumental In keeping alive the spirit of opposition to this government s authority there. The location of the ambuscade, he said, Is In southern Samar, of which the Inhab itants are Ignorant and barbarious. The haracter of the country and the bar barlty of the natives combined to make Its suppression difficult. Man. HaeArthur Baa Nothing to Bay About tha Battle. Milwaukee, Sept. 29. When his atten tion was called to the dispatcher an nouncing tne disaster mat had over taken Company C of the Nlntrt Infan try, Gen. George Arthur MacArthur said: "This is one of (hose deplorable, isolated Incidents which will have no effect on the general result. It Is portion of the insurrection which has been conducted by General Lukban which has not been suppressed. There are plenty of soldiers there ultimately to subdue the rebellion In the Island of Sanrnr. The details are too meagre for me to discuss the subject. The dispatch contains all the Information that can be had at this time. 1 can add nothing more." Another Revare fight Reported. Manila, Sept. 29. Capt. Lawrence Learhn reports a severe engagcm0n with Insurgents near Candelarla, th Americans losing ono killed and two wounded. The insurgent loss has no been ascertained. The Americans cap tured 30,000 pounds of rice and several hundred rounds of ammunition. FOBOED 60 OB 70 CHECKS. H. O. WatUU, of Ashavllle, Arretted In Atlanta, Confesses to Many rraoda.

Soon after noon the revenue cutter Cresham anchored in the bay JdKt thead of the sleam yacht lirin. As sin as she arrived Sir Thomas Upton made up a party, Including Geo. L.

His purpose was not to find fault with Captain Walker of the (Jresliam, for running down the Krln during Saturday's race, but rather to assure him that the damage was trilling and at the same time repay a social cull which the Captain and Mrs. Walker had paid him recently, sir Thomas and his party were shown all over the Oresham. After leaving the Orcsham Sir Thomas and his party, at the invitation of Mr. Butler Ames, of Lowell, Mass. , the owrwr of the schooner yacht America, the famous cup winner of nfl years ago, went on ixiard that schooner, which was lying at anchor c ose bv. and toon a sail aown tne nay They left it 3:80 p. m., returning about an hour later to the anchorage.

On board the ICrin later Sir Thomas said: "Captain Walker, of the Oresham and I are old friends and. the fact that his boat ran Into mine acdduntally will not mar that friendship for a moment. The damage Is not so very serious. It will necessitate docking the ship, of course, but that can be done after the races. We are all sorry It happened but. as I said before. Captain Walker and lare friends and I cannot blame him and shall not grumble at all. he pause It might have been so much worse." When asked If he wished to say anything concerning ' the alleged story that his captains had sold him out lost year, Sir Thomas said: "That an old story which Ij denied some time ago," I really dont care to say anything more about It Just now." . Of Saturday a race he said he had nothing to say except -to repeat that with a good strong hreesw the Shamrock would do- bolter than she did on Saturday.
