Manila, Sept. 29. 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.

Soon after noon the revenue cutter

not to find fault with Captain Walker
of the (Jresliam, for running down the

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

of nfl years ago, went on ixiard that

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
