ENEMY SUFFERED BIG LOSBES Troop# Scale Precipice and Attack Enemy In Rear, Driving Them From the Fort—Several Cannon Are Cap tured. Manila. Nov. 25. —Captain Edward I'. Lawton's company of the Nineteenth Infantry has attacked and captured an insurgent fort on Bohol Island, south of Cebu, in the Visayan group. This fort was surrounded on all sides by a precipice, and the only entrance to the higher ground was guarded by a stockade with a line of entrenchments behind it. Captain Lawton sent Ser geant McMahon and 20 men to climb the precipice and attack the fort In the rear. Sergeant McMahon's party accomplished their task after three hours' climbing through the thick un dergrowth of brush and vines that cov ered the almost perpendicular cliff. They took the enemy by surprise and drove them from the fort. As the in surgents escaped they had to pass the remainder of Captain Lawton's com pany at a distance of 150 yards. Here the enemy suffered terrible losses. The insurgents defended themselves with both cannon and rifles. The can non were captured, the smaller ones were removeu, while the larger ones were burled. Captain Lawton, in his report, makes special mention for bravery of Sergeants List and Mc- Mahon. General Chaffee has ordered that in the future complete records shall be kept of all natives taking the oath of allegiance to the United States. Dupli cates of these records will be signed in English, Spanish and Tagalog. MARCHED ON MINERS' CAMP 25 Men Arrested and Four Tents and Paraphernalia Confiscated.

TUG WA3 BATTERED TO PIECES Seeing Struggle With Ship Was Hope less, Hawser Was Cut and the Tug Dashetl Against Steel Pier—Long Branch Hotel Wrecked. New York, Nov. 25.—The full-rigged ship Flottbek, which went ashore ai Monmouth Heach during Saturday night's *aie. is resting on the sands apparently little the wo;se for her ex perlence. and her crew are being cared for by the life savers of Sta tion No. 4. The tug Robert iiaddon picked up the Flottbeck on Saturday afternoon about dark. The tug had a crew of seven men and the ship had 24 men all told. All went well until late in the evening, when the wind attained a ve locity of 40 to 45 knots, and the tug was unable to make headway, and the two vessels began to woik in shore. Seeing the struggle was hope less, and that the only chance of sav ing the tug was to let the ship go, the hawser was cut. The ship drifted rapidly on shore and struck well up and close in at a point favorable for work upon her. The tug lost her rudder about the time she was freed from the ship, and, driven by the gale and perfectly helpless, she drifted down the coast and brought up against the iron pier at Long Branch and be gan to pound against it. The crash ing was heard by a fisherman, who roused some citizens. With a rope they went to the pier to aid the seven men on the tug. Each war# as it re ceded carried the Haddon away from the pier and then as the next eamc rolling shoreward the heavy tug would be carried on its crest and dashed against the piling under th« pier or against the steel work. The work of rescue was dangerous, not only to the men rescued hut 'o those aiding them. After many e.*orta a man on the tug caught the rope which ♦ hrown from the pier. He hung on. and as the tug was carried away from the pier the man clinging to the rope swung clear of her and then was hurriedly hauled upon the pier before the next wave could dash him against the piling. Thus all were saved. About :! o'clock yesterday morning the iron pier broke in two. The tug had continued to pound against it.and the piling and superstructure were gradually weakened by the blows. The tug. too, was battered to pieces. When the pier was carried away, one man, whosrt* name is not known, was washed Into the sea and drowned. The storm dirt much damage at Keyport and Matawan. At Keyport JOO fishing and oyster boats were wrecked, and at both places the wind unroofed houses and blew in windows. At City Island, in the East river, i great damage was done. The loss to i Robertson's ship yards is estimated i at $15,000, and a dozen other ft us | along the island suffered losses of I from sfion to $5,000. Property along i the Hronx and Harlem river* BUS j tained much danjnge. | The estimate of thp rtarnaje Hone ; by the storm on the northern shore of I Island Sound, from and int*!nrti,tg i City Island to the Connecticut line, is [ $850,000. i Long Branch Hotel Wrecked.
