Garrison.
Manila. August 23.-It has been ex.
pected that some of the 215 garris"nr
the United States maintain in these
islands would sooner or later be SUR
rounded by the enemy and attacked
with such determination and advan-
tage in point of numbers and ground
that the American soldiers would rs
pOweIles to resist the onslaught. This
has happened at Catubig, on the Island
Of Samar, and the detachment OF the
Fortv.third volunteer infantry, the
troops in question, Iost 20 OF its 30
men. No one is surprised at this re-
suit, considerin. the circumstances
but surprise Is manifested that SINH
lar fate has not Overtaken other small
garrisons in isolated towns. The Oiii-
cial report OF the Catubig incident is as
follows
''ln the Catuhig engagement, in
which the insurgents numbered about
600 men with 200 rifles and one cam.

wounded. The detachment was at the
time Quartered in the convent. At :
A. NJ, April Is, almost simultaneous.
lv fire was opened upon it from the

every available part OF the town. Ii
continued all day and night, and was
vigorously resumed at ) O'Clock the
following morning. At 8 A. M. the
cannon began firing nails, pieces OF
chain and iron scraps. This sort o:
attack continued until the third day.
when u large number of the insurgents
got into the adjoining church. With
10 volunteers Sergeant George charged
ON the church, killing 4 ;":ye number
OF men, but he could not hold il. From
the windows OF the same the insur.
gents threw Il quantity of hemp satu.
rated with kerosene against the side
OF the convent, and thus set it on fire.
AS this building soon became unten.
able. the detachment attempted to es.
cape to the river and cross it; and here
occurred its first considerable losses.
All OF the iren OF the detachment, ex-
cept Sergeant Hall, Corporal Carson
and 10 privates attempted to get into
boat. and III so doing they were
killed. Sergeant Hall and his mer
began intrenchins themselves near the
river. and there that little band held

longer. in the face Of most adverse cir
cumstances, until rescued. Sergeant

two were wounded during that period.
