sILENcED A KRUPP BATTERY.
Further Particulars of the Engage
ment at Subig Bay-Captured
Sixteen Centfmeter GUN.

Washington, Sept. 25.-Acting Sec.
rotary Allen OF the navy department
received cablegram from Rear-Ad-
miral Watson yesterday giving brief
account of the engagement at Subig
bay. 1t is dated September "a, at Ma
rila, and is as follows:
Manila, Sept. "a.
The United States cruiser Charles
ton, the monitor Monterey and the
gunbcats Concord and Zafiro, with ma
rines and blue jackets from the cruiser
Baltimore, left Cavite September IS,
and, as already cabled, proceeded to
Subig bay to destroy the insurgent
cannon there.
Owing to the bad weather the opera
ton was postponed until yesterday,
when the war ships for three hours
bombarded the town of Olangapo and
the intrenchments where the gun was
situated.
Men from the Charleston, Concord
and Zafiro were then landed under a
heavy insurgent fire, proceeding to the
cannon which was utterly destroyed
by gun cotton, and then returning tc
the war ships.
The Americans had one man wound
ed during the engagement
While waiting in Subig bay for bet
ter weather the Americans deserted
Filipino reinforcementsm moving toward
Olapgapo. At $40 a. m. Saturday, the
Monterey began the advance upon the
town, which was about three miles
Charleston, Concord and Zafiro fol-
lowed.
At 7:25 a. m. the Monterey opened
fire with her secondary and main bat
teries, the Charleston and Concord
joining Immediately. At 1888 the in
surgent cannon answered, the first
shot passing close to the Monterey's
smokestack. The gun was fired twice
only.
The American bombarding then be-
came general. At $3.50 the Monterey
advanced to a range of 600 yards, using
her main battery. Two hundred and
fifty men were landed about 500 yards
east of the cannon at IL o'clock under
a severe shore Mauser fire. The men
from the Charleston were the first to
reach the beach, but the Concord's men
were the first at the gun, which they
reached at lilo The cannon was
found to be a 16-centimeter Krupp
gun, presumably obtained from the
Spaniards-
Meanwhile the war ships continued
to shell the shelving beach on the east
and west side to silence the insurgent
fire upon the sailors from the trenches
skirting the beach.
Gunner Olsen exploded so rounds of
gun cotton, in three discharges in the
cannon, which had suffered from the
fire of the war ships.
The Americans then returned to the
boats, the firing inland being kept up
to protect the embarkation. The Con-
cords men were the last to reach the
shore, and the war ships were reached
at 11:50.
Cadet Brinzer, with the Concord's
launch, armed with a gatling, did ex-
cellent work on the left of the landing
party. Capt Myers, of the marines,
captured a muzzle-loading field piece.
Lieut.. Mcdonald was in command of
the landing party, and the movement
was splendidly executed and con-
trolled-
The numbers of the Filipinos there
could not be ascertained and no dead
were seen
The Monterey fired for four hours
81 shots from her ten-inch guns and
II from her 12-ineh guns. The town,
which was riddled with shells, took
fire at several points.

OF forty Indiana organizations which took
part in the memorable conflict. The first
field officer killed in this battle was Col.
w. B. Carroll, of the Tenth Indiana. The
