Lieutenant Colonel II, w. Huntingtons
battalion of marines, which landed
from the transport Panther on Friday
and encamped on the hill guarding the
abandoned cable station at the entrance
to the outer harbor of Guantanamo, has
been engaged in beating off a bush at.
tack by Spanish guerrillas and regulars
since 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon. The
fighting was almost continuous for 13
hours until o'clock this morning,
when reinforcements were landed from
the Marblehead.
-Four of our men were killed and one
wounded. The advance pickets under
Lieutenants Neville and Shaw are un-
accounted for.
Among the killed is Assistant Sur
geon John Blair Gibbs, son of Major
Gibbs of the regular army, who fell in
the Custer massacre. His home was at
Richmond, Va, but he has been prac.
ticing in New York and he entered the
service since the war begun. He was o
very popular officer. The others killed
are Sergeant Charles H. Smith of
Smallwood, Private William Dunphy of
Gloucester, Mass, and Private James
McColgan of Stoneham, Mass
Corporal Glass was accidentally
wounded in the head.
The Spanish loss is unknown, but it
was probably considerable. The splash.
es of blood found at daylight at the po.
sitions the Spaniards occupied indicate
fatalities, bnt their comrades carried off
the killed and wounded.
The engagement began with desul.
tory firing at the pickets, 1000 yards
inland from the camp. Captain Spi-
GERS company was doing guard duty
and was driven in, finally raliying in
the camp and repulsing the enemy at
o'clock. The bodies of Privates Nc.
Colgan and Dunphy were found. both
shot in the head. The large cavities
caused by the bullets, which inside a
range of 500 yards have rotary motion,
indicate that the victims were killed at
close range.
The new l2-pound field guns, which
could not be used during the night for
fear of hitting our own men, shelled
several squads of Spaniards after day.
light. They dove into the bushes like
prairie dogs into burrows as the shells
broke over them in the gray dawn.
Lieutenant Colonel Huntington and
Major Cockrell gave high praise to the
nerve and the steadiness of officers and
men, especially the yuug ones, as the
engagement was baptism of fire for a
large majority. The men were in dark.
ness and in a strange land, but they
stood to their posts.
Today the amplest precautions have
been taken, and, as the Dauntless was
leaving, reinforcements were landed
from the Marblehead. A stormy time
was expected.

Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader in the
PHILIPPINES recently issued an order to
his army, of which the following is an
extract:
The great North American nation, a
lover OF true liberty, and therefore de-
sirous of libtrating our country from the
tyranny and despotism to which it has
been subjected by its rulers, has shown
us decided disinterested protection, con-
sidering us sufficiently able and civilized
to govern this unhappy shore. In or.
der to retain this high opinion of the
never too highly praised and great
nation of North America, we should
abominate such acts as pillage and rob
berry of every description and acts of
violence against persons and property.
He commands them to respect the per-
sons of foreigners, never to refuse quar-.
ter, and to preserve the sancitity OF hos
pitals and ambulances. These humane
sentiments emanate from a people that
have been taught nothing but cruelty
and inhumanity for three hundred years.
