The United States gunboat Helena arrived
at Camaguin during the night of November

saw it's lights and thought there was fire
upon a nearby island, whereupon they be-

but as the searchlghts Of the Helena COM
municated its presence, the village where
the men OF the Charleston were located
rang with cheers. party from the Helena
and Charleston visited the stranded vessel
November 13. 1t was found that the bows
were clear and the aft bridge submerged,
making it doubtful whether anything can
be salvaged. The Helena left for Rampa-

obliged it to return to Camaguiu for shell

escaped through the lines in peasants

officers and soldiers arriving at Cabana-
tuan from General Lawton's force describe
tho campaign as one of great hardships
Many men dropping out sick were left at
various towns without adequate supplies and
attendance, some Of them making their way
back across the terrible roads.
A number of horses were dying and many
of the soldiers and even some Of the officers
were marching on, half naked, their clothes
having been torn to pieces in getting
through the jungles. Some of them were
reduced almost to breechclouts and hundreds
were barefooted, their shoes being worn out
and all were living on any sort of provisions.
Bread was rare and caribou meat and ba-
nanas were the staples.
General Lawton foresaw that the cam
paign would involve such hardships, but he
considered 1t the quickest and cheapest way
OF ending tho war.
The last number of the Independence,
published at Tarlac, the day before the
Americans entered the place, contains
despondent valedictory entitled "Adieu!'
The tone of the article showed that the
writer considered the game played out. He
said:
"Obliged by circumstances, we have found
it necessary to interrupt with this number
the pleasant labor of defending our ideals
and interests. We take leave Of the public
and our readers with grief most profound
and bitterness most cruel"

leaders have tried to keep the people. A

described Senator Hoar as opposing the Nc

The commander states that he fears further
trouble and asks for more troops.

that the negro soldiers in the fort deployed
in a ravine on the edge of the town and
fired into the town for about an hour and
a half, shooting into a number of houses,
wounding one man and frightening the
women and children so badly that a number
of them had fled to the surrounding ranches
for safety; that the attack was entirely un-
provoked and that the community was
highly incensed and further trouble was
looked for at once.
Upon receipt Of these kilograms Governor
Sayres ordered Adjutant General Scurry to

the matter and remove the negro troops at
once. The commander at San Antonio sent
