of Insurgents.

Manila, Nov. 25.-Capt. Edward p.
Lawton's company of the Nineteenth
infantry 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 waR
guarded by a stockade with line of
intrenchmcnts behind it. Capt. Law
ton sent Sergeant Mcmahon and 20
men to climb the precipice and attack
the fort in the rear. Sergeant Nc
Mahcn'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 insur-
gents escaped they had to pass the
remainder of Capt. Lawton's COM
pany at distance of $50 yards. Here
the enemy suffered terrible losses.
The insurgents defended themselves
with both cannon and rifles. The can
non were captured. the smaller ones
being removed, while the larger one.
were buried.
Capt. Lawton, in his report, makes
special mention for bravery of Ser
geants List and Mcmahon.

Gentlemen-For years past when I

or three doses, and 1 find it keeps me in
