Major Lawton'j Company Capture
Fort on Bohol Island.
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.
Madlsonville, Ky., Nov. 25.—The
camp of the striking union miners, a
quarter of a mile from Nortonville, In
•the southeast part of the county, was
fnarched upon yeaterday byrCounty
Judge Hall, Sheriff J. N. Hankins and
two deputies. Adjutant General Mur
ray and his aides, Captains Ellis and
Gordon and two companies of the
state guard, the Madlsonville com
pany, commanded by Captain Powers,
and the Hopkinsville company, under
Captain Strang.
Of the 200 men that had been in
camp, defying the order of County
Judge Hall to move, only 25 remained
when the officers and the militia de
scended upon their stronghold. Most
of these were taken prisoners, though
a few escaped. Four large tents and
all the camp paraphernalia, except
the arms and ammunition, which had
been removed before the officers ap
peared, were confiscated and were
loaded on a freight car brought along
for the purpose and brought to Madi
sonville.
The captured strikers are now in
Jail here, charged by Judge Hall with
a "breach of the peace, unlawfully as
cembllns and banding together, there
by making the camp a menace to the
public peace."
Pipe Line Burst.
New York, Nov. 25 —Some time dur
ing Saturday night the pipe lines of
the Standard Oil company, which
carry the crude oil from the Pennsyl
vania fields to the refineries at Bay
onne, burst about two miles from
Bound Brook, N. J. The break was
discovered early yesterday morning,
but it took a large force of laborers
many hours to close it. Meantime the
oil had spread over a large portion of
ground, and to prevent further spread
to nearby streams it was determined
to set fire to it. This was done late
In the afternoon, and last night the
reflection of the burning oil could be
seen in the sky for miles around. No
estimate of the loss has as yet been
made.

on the Beach.
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
