Manila. Nov. 25.-Captain Edward
p. Lawton's company of The 18th in
fantry has attacked and captured an
insurgent fort on Bohol Island, south
of Cebu, in the Vizayan group.
This fort was surrounded on all
sides by precipice, and the only en-
trance to the higher ground was
guarded by stockade with a line of
intrenchments behind it. Captain
Lawton sent Sergeant Mcmahon and
20 men to climb the precipice and at
tack the fort in the rear. Sergeant
McMahon's party accomplished their
task after three hours climbing
through the thick underground OF
brush and vines that covered the al
most perpendicular cliff. They took
the enemy by surprise and drove them
from the fort. AS the insurgents es-
capped they had TO pass the remainder
of Captain Lawton's company at a
distance of $50 yards. Here the en-
envy suffered terrible losses.
The insurgents defended themselves
with both cannon and rifles. The can
non were captured. the smaller ones
were removed, while the larger ones
were buried. Captain Lawton. in his
report, makes special mention for
bravery of Sergeants List and McMa-
hon.
