Hongkong Daily Press is authority for
the statement that 800 Spanlards, includ-
ing sixteen priests. lost their lives several
weeks ago when the Spanish gunboat
Leyte was captured by vessel belonging
to Admiral Dewey's squadron.
The Leyte had been stationed in an adj
joining island, where the insurgents were
numerous and aggressive. The latter were
gaining ground rapidly, and 500 Spaniards
boarded three sailing vessels in an en-
deavor to escape massacre.
The Leyte undertook TO tow these three
transports to Manila bay, where the Span
iards aboard them were TO surrender 10

somewhere sooner and reach Manila under
cover of darkness.

cut her lows loose and proceed to Manila
for assistance. Before getting there she
was captured by the Americans the next
day, and an American vessel was dis
patched TO find the three transports. but
failed TO discover any trace of them.
The natives on the nearby coast say
they saw nothing of any vessel. The
Hongkong press finally reached the con-
clusion that the vessels foundered with all
on board.

LIEUT.. JOHNsTON's WITHDRAWAL.
His Leaving Gomez Was by Order OF

WASHINGTON, August 30.-The facts
are known at the War Department with
reference TO the departure Of Lieuten-
ant Johnston and his detachment from
the camp of General Gomez do not cor
respond with the reports telegraphed
from Habana and published this morn
ing. When the Wanderer sailed from
the Florida coast on her last trip with
supplies for Gomez and the Cubans, she
carried orders to Lieutenant Johnston to
remove his detachment and return to
the United States.
The orders were not made public at the
time because the war was not over at that
time. and it was not deemed prudent to
allow the Spaniards to know that de-
tachment of United States soldiers were
about 10 take ship for the United States,
and because general secrecy was main
tanned regarding expeditions to the
Cubans until they were accomplished.
1T is stated that Lieutenant Johnston
withdrew from Gomez's camp on direct
orders from the War Department.
