Manila;, Wednesday Evening, Oct. 4.
Commander Cornwall's expedition
sent to destroy the town of Orani in re
taliation for the sinking of the gunboat
Urdaneta, has returned to Cavite. On
Monday the expedition, which compris
ed the gunboats CaLlac, Petrel, Helena
and Mindora, ascended the Orani river,
on which Orani is situated, as far as
navigable, and a party,, under Captain
Franklin, was sent 'to the wreck of the
Urdaneta, protected by the fire of the
war chips.
An examination of the Urdaneta re
vealed the fact that she was riddled by
the insurgents, and the mast, smoke
stacks and deck destroyed. Her hull,
however, was intact, and it was decided
to raise her.
THE WRECK FLOATED.
A detachment of two hundred sailors
and marines was landed and the insur
gents were driven out of the town. The
work of raising the Urdaneta then h
gan. The insurge- tried to prevent it
but the opposition was weak and they
soon withdrew beyond range.
The holes in the gunboat wore plug
ged and the vessel finally floated tb
Cavite for repairs. Yesterday the war
ships bombarded Orani, the shells set
ting it on fire. The expedition suffered
no casualties.
MARINES ATTACKED.
Last night a 'small party of blue
jackets from the Baltimore, Wnile

on by the insurgents from the river

others swam asnore ana aitirmeu cur
