Among the scraps of news obtainable are
stories of the hardshilps the American

instance, that Gen. LaHYtou narrowly es-
caped drowning, while ! fording a swift
river when Lieut.. Luna and two privateS

They Wanted Projection.
Sailors from the gunboat( Castine occu-
py Zamboanga, on the southwest eX-
remity of the Island of Mindanao. The
business men, chiefly Chinese, requested
Commander S. w. Very of the Castine, to
take possession of the place and protect
them from the insurgents. Commander
Very landed a naval force and, although
no details have been received, it appears
he found he had a large contract on hand
and telegraphed to Maj. Gen.I Otis request
ing the presence of troops. but none are
available except by Withdrawing part of
the force from one of the neighboring
Islands temporarily.

American officers.
