they endured were terrible and the
odds against them were great. Bat
ior more than a year they held back
the iusurgsnt forces, aud a. last won
from them such admiration tha: tue
azarrissn was allowed to marca OF:
wiEalE the houors Of VA. II WAS
this for' which they hal fought, as
they had long given up tue hope Of
being rescued or relieved.
Baler is little town on the east
coast OF Luzon. There is the least
bit of a bay there. The Baler River
dows into the bay. Just before il
rescles the tide water it makes a
turn around q hill, and this high
ground shuts the town ont of sight
from the bay and sea. It WAS around
this bend that Lieutenant Gilmore
and his boat crew with rapid fire guns
from the Yorktown were captured by
lhe insurgents. At that time it WAS
made known to the world that Span
ish garrison had been left By the con-
suereu nation aud apparently had
been forgotten by its Government.
The history Of the siege is as fol-
lows:
4 garrison of ifty-oHe officers aud
men was in Baiec when tue lnSur-
rection broke out against the Spanish.
But tic soldiers were able to hold
their own and live in the barracks for
some tine. As the insurgents pro-
crossed sud grew in strength strong
force was sent before Baler AMI an at
tempt male to capture the Spanisrds.
The Spaniaras were under the COM
mand of Captain Don Enrique lie las
Moreuas Y Fossil, with two Second
Lieutenauts, Don Juan Alonzo y
Zayas and Don Saturniuo Martiz
Cerezo and Medico Doa Rogelis Vigil
lie Qninones. On the Captains order
all ammunition and supplies were
taken into the church, and on June
81, 1898, the little garrison took
refuge in. that strong editice. The
stone floors were pulled up aud the
material so obtained was used IN
barricaaing the windows aud doors.
The bel!ry was fortified and used as a
place from which to carry on sharp
shooting while the soldier was pro-
tected from the insurgent fire by ali
extemporized stone wall with port
holes. The insurgents suffered
severely from this method OF warfare
snd attempted on many occasions to
7islodge the Spaniards. The first
attempt was in August.
The siege had been thoroughly laid

fore the insurgents were under the
walls and battering at the doors.
They were so close that they were
safe from the Spanish guns and were
shouting in anticipation of victory as
they hammered against the great
door, the side door and windows,
Captain Fossil made tour of in.pec-
ton, aud in doing so passed tue kettle
Of boiling soup. He hurried on his
rounds and saw that his stronghold
wss fast giving way under the blows
OF his enemies. When he again
entered the court two soldiers were
with him. They were directed 20
pick up the kettle OF soup and hurry
to the balcony lesding to the window
over the great door. The stones that
were piled before the window as a
barricade were torn down aud the sash
was thrown open. The bssiegers sup
posed that a parley was wanted and
ceased their battering, stepping back
to see what was going on. The kettle
was poised on the window sill and
then its steaming contents we're spilled
upon the besiegers. There was a CRY
of pain as the scaldiug liquid fell upon
the upturued. faces and bare shoul-
ders below. Those thlt were uu-
touched rau away, and their less for
tunate fellows writhed and staggered
toward their trenches. Tolley after
volley followed them as they ran, anil
when darkness fell they had retreated
to the farthest trench, defeated in their
attempt to force the stronghold OF the
Spaniards.
The suffering was terrible. Pro-
visions ran low. From the start the
garrison was put on short rations,
which were reduced as time went on
until the soldiers and officers were
compelled to live on rats and mice,
Of which there seemed to be plenty in
the church. and on an occasional dog
which would come within range Of the
guns and close enough to the walls to
be retrieved. This play seem dis
gusting, but it was life OF death to the
besieged. They tell OF day when
snake made them a meal. And As
they stood about their officers at the
train last night their sauken cheeks
and sallow skins attested to the suffer
ing they had endured.
But all did not endure. Worse than
that-a:l would no. endure, and it
must be recorded that four men de-
serted when they saw the helplessness
OF the situation. These are their
names as given in the official report,
