Are Well.

Are Well.
Manila, Aug. 14.-Word has been re-
ceived from Lieutenant ]. c. Gilmore,
of the United States gunboat York
town, who, with IA members of the
crew Of the gunboat, was captured by
the insurgents last April near Baler,
on the east coast of Luzon. The mes
sage which comes through Spanish
prisoners is to the effect that the OF
ficer and his men are at Vigan, in the
province of South Ilcos. on the west
coast of Luzon. All but two are we'll.
Lieutenant Gilmore is allowed
house and a servant and is fairly
treated.
While the Seventeenth infanry, dur
ing last Tuesdays battle. was ap-
preaching CaluIut along the road the
troops saw a group of SO FilipinOs out
side the town under flag of truce.
Some, who were in white clothing,
held up their hands to signify that
they were unarmed. Captain Hart, with
a detachment. advanced cautiously to
point within 200 yards of them, when
the Philippines picked UP their guns and
fired a volley. The Americans dropped
into the bushes unhurt on the first
movement and returned the fire. At
this the Fiipnos ran off.
The insurgents have taken the ag-
gressive in the neighborhood of the
railroad. On Saturday night they I'M
successfully attacked San Luis, on the
Rio Grande. near Calumpit, which is
garrisoned by two companies of the
Twenty second infantry. The Ameri-
cans had one man. a sergeant, killed,
and two privates wounded.

Three Americans Killed and Thirteen
Wounded Ten Miles From City.
Manila, Aug. IA reconnaissance
by troops 6 General Samuel B. M.
Young's brigade with the object of dis
covering the whereabouts of the enemy
near San Mateo. northeast of the San
Juan reservoir, about ten miles from
Manila, resulted in the occupation of
San Mateo. The American loss was
three killed and thirteen wounded, in
Guiding a lieutenant of the Twenty
first infantry.
The Americans approached San
Mateo in three columns. Majog. Cronin,
with Is men of the Twenty-fifth in
fantry, advanced from Novaliches, five
miles west of San Mateo Captain
Rivers, with hundred men of tho
Fourth cavalry, and Captain Parker,
formerly lieutenant colonel Of tho
Twelfth New York volunteer regiment,
with $50 men Of the Twenty-first and
Twenty-fourth infantry and the Fourth
cavalry, approached in two columns
from the south. Major Cronin ex-
perienced many difficulties arising
from the condition of the country and
failed to effect junction with Cap
tain Rivers west of San Mateo, as had
been planned.
Captain Rivers, advancing, took an
outpost Of the enemy two miles south
west of San Mateo. He then encoun-
tered strong resistance among the
hills, the enemy firing from excellent
positions. Having failed to connect
with Major Cronin, and seeing that the
town was already occupied by the
Americans Captain Rivers withdrew,
covering his withdrawal by a heavy
volley He lost a sergeant killed.
Captain Parker, on advancing, found
the enemy strongly entrenched on the
far side of some rice fields, about a
mile wide, and covered with deep mud.
Pushing forward rapidly, he routed
the Filipinos after 40 minutes fighting,
and then continued the march upon
San Mateo. which he entered without
serious resistance. Major Cronin en-
tered the town three hours later. The
Americans still occupy the place. Our
men were exhausted by the heavy
marching. Twenty-three Of the enemy
are known-to have been killed.
This Is the first action in which
Colonel Burt's colored troops partici-
pated. They behaved WE'LL their lead
ers having difficulty in holding them
back. General Young accompanied
Captain Parker's column and was I'M
der fire throughout the engagement.

working together, victory will .be
