MANILA, September 25.-It is reported
that the insurgents have captured the
United States gunboat Urdaneta in the
Orani river. on the northwest side of Ma
Mia bay, where she was patrolling. one offi-
Ger and nine of her crew are missing.

one Colt automatic gun and one Norden-
felGt 25-milimeter gun. The crew of the
Urdaneta prisoners or have been killed.
Further details are lacking.
The Captured GunbOat.
The gunboat Urdaneta. which cap
tured with her crew at Oran about twen-
ty-fve miles from Manila, the bay of
Manila. is a little craft of only forty tons
displacement, not much larger than small
tug She was captured by the navy early
in the war and has been police duty in
the bay for months past. The records of
the Navy Department show that she was
one of the little boats of which the Oregon
is the parent ship; that is, she was sup
posed to draw all of her supplies from the
battleshp. to be manned from the Oregon
crew, and to act under the instructions of
the OregOnS commander.
According 20 he latest reports to the de-
partment the little boat was last May un-
der the command of Naval Cadet Welborn
c. Wood but the personnel of her crew is
not matter of record, being subject to
frequent change. Wood was appointed to
the Naval Academy from Oregon. had
passed his academic course and was per-
forming two years sea service at the time
OF his capture.
Officials Are Nexed.
Naturally the department officials are
vexed that the difficulties of the negotia-
tons looking to the release of Lieut.. Gill
more of the Yorktown and his men should
be added to by this last misfortune Still,
there is no disposition to unnecessarily
curb the junior officers of the navy. who
are rendering such gallant service in the
