Sharp Battle on the Island OfFOr-
mOsa Between the Pirates and
American Naval Forces.

american NGhfGhA OECeS,
LONDON, August 13-Advices receiv-
ed here from Shanghai give the following
account of conflict between two steam.
ers of the American squadron in the Chi
nese waters and the pirates of the Island
of Formosa:
The United States authorities having
received neither satisfaction nor apology
for the murder of the crew of the Amer.
lean bark Rover, the men-of-war Hart
ford and Wyoming were ordered to the
scene of the outrage on the Island Of
Formosa.
They sailed early in June.
On arriving off the shore demand
was made for the surrender of the mur-
derers, which was not complied with.
Meantime it was apparent that the ma
tives were preparing for fight, and the
shore was vigorously shelled by both
vessels.
Several boatloads of sailors and ma
rines subsequently, effected landing, and
a sharp fight ensued with the Formosans
The fight lasted over five hours.
The heat was intense.
Fifteen officers and men are reported tc
have been sunstruck.
Lieut.. Slidell Mackenzie, one of the
landing party, was shot and died of his
wounds.
At nightfall the fighting party was
Withdrawn from the shore, and the bonn
bardment was resumed and continued un
til the natives had all dispersed and dis
appeared.
The Hartford and Wyoming then
weighed anchor and sailed for Shanghai
at which port they arrived on the 18th Of
June.
