SPASPANISHEXPILDITION AGAINST TRW .BALANGIGNI
Spanish PIRATES.—By the arrival of the
war-steamer
Reinha da Castilla, particulars hail, been received of a
most gallant attack on the Balangigni pirates. On one
or two occasions the Onvernor-General at Manilla -had
written to the Sultanef:Sooloo to exterminate the pirates
at Balangigni; but the Sultan having neglected to do so,
the Spanish' Government very -properly undertOok the
task, and • has ably performed 'it. The Manilla autho.
cities resolved' to punish the pirates who for years_ have
made descents .on the coasts of Luconis, and carried
away into captivity Spanish subjects. The expedition
left Manilla February 5,' and comprised three war
steamers, two wdeachooners, six gun-boats, eight small
ditto, 600 infantry, 50 artillery, with two field pieces.
On the arrival at the chief haunt of the pirates, the
island Balangigni, the place was taken by assault, after
a most obstinate and daring resistance, the work of
extermination continuing from - February 15 to 25.
Two fortresses, ably defended, were assaulted and
taken. The attacking force lest one infantry captain
and 20 privates slain, also
vvoundid. Of the pirates more than 450 men were
killed. Their resistance was most deterthined; in vain
were they. offered quarter—they resolved to perish. At

and children, who were about -being put to death by the

years previously, 'others were Dutch subjects; the Ge-
neral commanding offered'to convey the latter to jam
The Spanish took 124 :guns, chiefly brass; also fired and
