of The u. S. A. Lieut. Whipple, (who was
also adjulant,) Of the 9th Infantry had
walked oul in the evening towards the
Cementery, short distance from the
walls of the town, accompanied by ser.
want, and in the presence Of The attendant,
he was lassoed by one OF the guerrillas,
made prisoner, and carried away, the

the command Of Capt. A. NJ. Duperu
