Williams and Mccarthy. who were in
charge Of some OF the wounded, come In
for special praise. They were cut off from
the rest of the party during the retreat
and intrenched themselves on the hillside
where they stood off their assailants for
about three hours, surrendering after every
cartridge had been expended. Scarcely
man in the expedition escaped being
grazed or slightly wounded during the
fight. The total list of killed amounted to
only five. Captain Shields was wounded
early in the fight but continued TO direct
the operations of the rear guard during
four miles of retreat. He finally was
knocked out by bullet through the jaw,
neck and shoulder. which was thought at
the time to be fatal wound.
The rescue of the party was effected by
General Hare, who some months before,
when only a colonel led the party which
effected the rescue OF Lieutenant Gilmore
and the men from the Yorktown, after
their long months of captivity in northern
Luzon. Captain Shields and his men say
they have no complaint 10 make of their
treatment during captivity. Maxine Abad

was reported to be i'll with fever. His
body, afterward, was carried down the
river on a raft slung in a hammock and

the natives who saw the passage of the
raft were uncertain whether he was dead

of Trias and others of the insurgent gen.

lead the local Manila papers to give con-
siderable credence to the story.

COAST FORTIFICATIONS
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF
THE BOARD OF ORDNANCE.
Reorganization and Material Increase
of the Artillery Arm of the Mil
itary Service Necessary.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-The annual re-
port of the Board of Ordnance and FORTH
cations. just made public. sums up concise
ly very large amount of experimental
work accomplished by the board during
what is needed in the future is contained
in the following paragraphs:
1.-THE work of equipping our coast fortif-
cations is progressing rapidly and large
portion of the new armament is already in
stalled. There is imperative need for an
adequate force of trained artillerists to
care for and man the guns now mounted.
The board. therefore, deems Ii within it's
province TO invite the attention of Con-
gress to the necessity of reorganization
and material increase of the artillery arm
of the service
In this connection also the board recon-
mends that steps be taken at an early
date TO provide the coast artillery per-
sonnet with suitable ranges and other ia
cilities for carrying out each year a sys-
tenn of practical drill and target practice
with heavy guns under conditions ap-
proximating those of actual service As
the primary object of the defense is to
protect the harborS and waterways along
our coasts the guns are, as rule, Sd
placed that target firing with full service
charges and at the longer and more i'm
portant ranges can seldom take place with
out endangering the lives and damaging
the property of private citizens. This is
practically true in the case of fortifica-
lions defending the larger harbors where
there is shipping constantly within range
and where private houses are in such close
proximity to the guns as TO be seriously
affected by the shock. AT least three such
practice ranges should be provided-one
for the North Atlantic, one for the South
Atlantic and gulf and one for the Pacific
coast"
