FIGHT WITH FILIPINOS.
Twenty-First Company of Macabebes
Forced to Retreat.

MANILA, Oct. 1O.-A detachment of the
Twenty-first Company of Macabebes to-day
encountered a large force of insurgents
near Lipa, province of Batangas. Lieut..
Beau, of the Macabebes. was killed, and
one of the force was wounded The enemy
was strongly intrenched. After two hours
fighting the Americans retreated to await
endorsements The insurgents numbered
over three hundred, were armed with Rem
ington and Mauser rifles and, apparently,
had plenty of ammunition.
Martin, a teacher of Mauban, was cap
tured by insurgents while visiting a neigh
boring town, under an escort of native po-
lice. The next day his captors, relenting,
tied him in a hammock and carried him to
a point within a mile of the town and re-
leased him, saying he was a noncombatant.
The entire force of police of Catang, prov
ince of Tayabas, numbering eleven, have
been carried off by the insurgents, armed
only with bolos. Presumably, the police
made no resistance, though they were well
armed with carbines and revolvers.
