TRAGEDY OF rHE WAR,
Nine Hundred spaniardSr and Sixteen
Priests Lost In the PhlIIppIncS.


Nine Hundred SpauIardS and Sixteen
Prlests Lost in the PhiiIppIno'.
TACOMA, Wash, August so.-The
Hong Kong Daily Press is authority for
the statement that 800 spanIerls. In
Guiding sixteen priests. lost their lives
several weeks ago when the Spanish
gunboat Leyte was captured by a vessel
belonging to Admiral Dewey's squad
ron. The Leyte had been stationed in
an adjoining island. where the insur-
gents were numerous and aggressive.
The latter were gaining ground rap
IDLY, causing 800 spanIards to board
these sailing vessels in an endeavor to
escape the natives, who would massa-
ere them.
The gunboat Leyte undertook to tow
these three transports to Manila bay,
where the spaniards aboard them would
surrender to Admiral Dewey. II they
did not succeed In landing somewhere
and reaching Manila under cover OF
darkness. After the Leyte had towed
them down Pampangns river and some
distance along the coast heavy storm
came Up, making It necessary for the
gunboaL to cut her tOws loose and pro-
coed 10 Manila for assistance. Before
getting there she was captured by the
Americans the next day, and an Amerl-
can vessel was dispatched to find the
three transports, hut failed to discover
any trace Of them.
The natives on the adjoining coast
ray they saw nothing OF any vessels,
The Hong Kong Press finally reached
the conclusion that the vessels foun-
deTed with all on board.

poets to remain and rest until septem-

Never VIII the Battle Of Malate be Re-
ferred to without Mention of This
Dashing Hero.
II there is an American officer whose
memory is Indellbly stamped upon the
minds Of the spanIards 1t is BriEadIsr
General Francis vInton Greene, who,
With his division of soldiers, was fore
must in driving back the enemy when
they made the attack upon our forces at
Bfalate. The disadvantages under which
our men had to flghbwere great, butt Cen

the spanlards got the worst of the bar
gain.
Brigadler General Greene halls from
Rhode Island, and besides being grad
uate from West Point he enjoys the
unique distinction of being the son of
the Oldest living graduate of that instl-
tuition. Nine years ago he became a
major and engineer of the First Brigade
OF the National Guard Of New Yorkand
those who are in a position to know bear
speaking testimony to his ability and
soldlerly qualities. In January, 1892,
General Greene was elected colonel OF
the famous Seventy first regiment, and
for the faithful performance of duty he
was promoted to brlgadier-general OF
volunteers by President Mckinley when
war with Spain was declared, and or
dered to report to General Merritt.
General Greene is probably better
known as a literary man. for his study
of the classics has been deep and ex-
haustlve, but his service in the Philip
pines has certainly proved him a DASH
Ing soldier, fully capable of high conn
mand.
