MANILA, Sept 30. A disastrous
fight between (United States troupe
and insurgents occurred yesterday in
the island of Samar, near Balinglga,
A large body of Insurgents attacked
Company C, Ninth infantry, only
twenty-four members of the company
escaping. All the others are report
ed to have been killed.
The company was at breakfast
when attacked and made a determin
ed resistance, but the overwhelming
numbers of the Insurgents compelled
retreats.
Of the survivors, who have arrived
at Basey, eleven are wounded.
According to the latest returns the
strength of the company was seventy
two. The survivors include Captain
Thomas W. Connelly, First Lieuten
ant Edward A. Bumpus and Dr. R. S.
Grlswold, surgeon.
Captain Edwin V. BookmJlIer of
the Ninth Infantry reports that Gen
eral Hughes is assembling a force to
attack the insurgents.
The insurgents captured all the
tores and ammunition of the com
pany and all the rifles except twenty
six. WASHINGTON, Sept. 30. News of
the disastrous fight between troops of
the Ninth infantry and the insurgents
in the island of Samar yesterday
was sent promptly by General
Hughes, commanding in that island,
to General Chaffee, at Manila, and by
him transmitted to the War depart
ment It reached the department dur
ing the early hours today and Ad
jutant General Corbin, realizing the
importance, at once made it public,
after sending a copy to the White
House. General Chaffee's dispatch,
which agrees with the Associated
Press, Is as follows:
"MANILA, Sept. 29. Adjutant
General, Washington: Hughes re
ports following from Basey, Southern
Samar:
""Twenty-four men Ninth regi
ment. United States Infantry, many
wounded, have just arrived from Bal
angiga; remainder company killed.
Insurgents secured all company sup
plies and all rifles except twelve.
Company was attacked during break
fast, morning September 28; com
pany, seventy-two strong. Officers,
Thomas W. Connelly,- captain; Ed
wrd A. Bumpus, first lieutenant; Dr.
R. S. Grlswold, major, surgeon, es
caped.' CHAFFEE."
The news'' created a sensation In
official circles. It was the first se
vere reverse that has occurred for a
long time. Still the officials were not
unprepared for news of just this char
acter from Samar, in which the rev
olution started by Aguinaldo still
continues. Samar is a country about
as large as the state of Ohio and the
American forces of occupation num
ber in all between 2,000 and 2,500
men. These are distributed among
various posts in the island, a large
number being located at the more ira
trtrtant centers. Spain never made
any efforts to occupy Samar and it
only has been for probably three
months past that the United States
has undertaken that work. The lat
est report made by General Hughes
to the War department wo that the
number of Insurgent rifles in the is
land aggregated about 300. The Fil
ipinos carr.ed on a guerrilla warfare
and operations against them were dif
ficult The disaster to Company C
of the lsinth infantry occurred, it is
believed, while it was engaged in an
expedition to clear the country of
roving bands of these insurgents.
. he fact that the Americans were
attacked while at breakfast indicates
the daring and pluck of the insur
gents. Mrs. MeKlaley Drive Oar.

Hare Made aa Attack.
CANTON, O., Sept 30. A strange
itorj comes tonight from West Lawn
cemetery, where a company of regu
lars from Fort Wayne, Mich., Is
guarding the vault In which the body
of President McKinley lies.
It is to the effect that the guard
on duty on top of the vault fired a
shot at one man who refused to heed
his challenege and that the shot was
diverted by another man who appear
ed from another direction. Abo
that an effort was made to stab the
guard.
Military regulations prevent either
the officers or the men of the past
from being quoted on any matter con
nected with their service, and for
this reason Captain Biddle. who is in
command, was oblired to decline to
be quoted at the camp tonight He
will make a full report to his super
iors at once.
Reliable authorities made the fol
lowing statement: Private Deprend
was on guard duty on top of the vault
at a point commanding the entrance
below and the approach from the
rear. Shortly before 7:30 be saw
what he took to be the face of a man
peering from behind a tree about
forty feet from his post. He watch
ed it for twenty minutes, he says,
end at 7:45 saw the man hurry to a
tree ten feet nearer. He challenged
the man to halt, but this was not
heeded and the fellow approached
nearer. Deprend levelled his gun
and aimed to shoot for effect, but just
at that instant another man who
came toward him from the opposite
side caught the gun, threw it up and
the bullet wag spent in the air.

BUFFALO, Sept. 27. Czolgosz, be
fore sentence was pronounced, was
permitted to anaak aa follows:
"There was no one else but me.
No one else told me to do it and no
one paid me to do It"
Judge Titus repeated it as follows,
owing to the prisoner's feeble voice:
"He says no one had anything to do
with the commission of bis crime but
himself; that his father and brother
and no one else had anything to do
with It and knew nothing about it."
The prisoner continued: "I was not
told anything about the crime and
I never thought anything about mur
der until a couple of days before I
committed the crime."
Judge Titus again repeated as fol:
lows :"He never told any one about
the crime and never intended to com
mit It until a couple of days before
its commission."
Then Justice White passed sen
tence as follows:
"In taking the life of our beloved
president you committed a crime
which has shocked snd outraged the
moral sense of the civilised world.
You have confessed that guilt and af
ter learning all that at this time can
be learned from the facta and circum
stances of the case twelve good ju
rors have pronounced you guilty and
have found you guilty of murder in
the first degree.
"You have said, according to the
testimony of creditable witnesses and
yourself, that no other person aided
or abetted you in the commission of
this terrible act. God grant it may
be so. The penalty for the crime for
which you stand convicted Is fixed by
this statute and it now becomes my
duty to pronounce this Judgment
against you: The sentence of the
court is that in the week beginning

manner and means prescribed by law, ,
you suffer the punishment of death."
"Remove the prisoner."
The crowd filed slowly out of the
room and court adjourned at 2:2C.
SAMOANS ARE NOT PLEASED
Think Oar Government I Not Treatlng
Them a It Should.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 27. A let
ter received today from Tutula, Sa
moa, calls attention to the discontent
among the natives over the manner
in which the United States governs
the islands under its protection. The
letter says:
"The opinion here is that the au
thorities at Washington must either
treat this place simply as a protec
torate of the United States, allowing
the people the right to govern them
selves under that protection, or they
must lay down settled regulations
for the government of the islands and
make ample financial provision for
carrying out those regulations.
"The inhabitants want to know
their real status concerning the Uni
ted States. Nominally the islands be
long to the United States, but the
States do nothing, and natives and
whites live in a quandry, not knowing
which way to move or turn for fear
of getting into trouble.
"There has been delay In the pay
ment for lands taken by the United
States government for public pur
poses and also for arms and ammuni
tion turned In by the natives. The
Samoans contrast the alleged neglect
with the liberality of the Germans at
Apia, who are opening up the coun
try, building roads and making other
public improvements."

BUFFALO, Sept 27. Czolgosi, the
doomed assassin of President McKin
ley, was taken from Buffalo to Au
burn state prison last night to await
death by electrocution during the
week commencing Monday, October
28.
Sheriff Caldwell and sixteen men
took the prisoner in a special car at
tached to the second section of a
train which was due to leave at 9:30.
The train left the New York Central
station at 10:06 p. m. and the railroad
officials said that an effort would be
made to reach Auburn at 2:12 a. m.,
which Is schedule time.
Czolgoez was "sneaked" out the
back entrance of the Erie county Jail,
escorted by seventeen men, and was
hustled into the special car, which had
lieen backed down Jon Hhe terrace
tracks a few rods from the rear of
the Jail a minute before. The Jail was
left at just 9:40 p. m.p but a slow run
was made to the Union station, as
the engine and car were on the wrong
track, which had been cleared.
Sheriff Caldwell arranged for the de
parture and his moves were kept so
secret and were so cleverly managed
that no one but tho guards, the rail
road men and the nowspaper men
who were on the watch knew that
the asBasRin was boing smuggled out
of the Jail. Sheriff Caldwell had giv
en orders to his most trustworthy
deputies to appear singly at the Jail
at different hours during the evening,
and he had also m:id arrangements
with Superintendent Eradiield of the
New York Central to have an engine
and special car on the terrace tracks
at Church street at 9:25 o'clock. That
car was fifteen minutes late, but the
moment It left the station for its run
of three or four ninutc3 a telephone
message was sent to the Jail and the
sheriff had the prisoner ready. As
Boon as the car stopped, but a few
rods from tho rear entrance to the
Jail, Czolgoaz appeared handcuffed to
Jailer George N. Mitchell and sur
rounded by the Sheriff and his depu
ties and Chief McMaater of the Au
burn police department The car was
attached to the second section of the
train. The news that a car contain
ing the murderer was on the rear of
the train spread quickly and all the
railroad men In the station left their
work to get a look at the assassin.
Finally at 10:06 o'clock the word was
given and the tialn pulled out
At Rochester the car will be cou
pled to a train running from there
to Auburn, which had orders to await
the arrival of this train. Just before
the train pulled out a representative
of the Associated Press saw Czolgosz
seated easily in a seat and smoking
a cigar. In the seat with the pris
oner was Jailer Mitchell and in the
opposite seat faring them were the
keeper of the penitentiary and Deputy
Sheriff Hugh Sloan, the oldest and
most experienced deputy sheriff in
the county. The other guards were
seated In front and back of him end
on the other tilde of tho car, direct
ly opposite his seat. These precau
tions were taken because the authori
ties received word from some source
today that the sheriff might encoun
ter considerable difficulty in getting
the prisoner to Auburn. JuBt what
trouble was feared was not learned,
but great care was taken that no ad
Viu'5 srws of the departure of t h
train was telegraphed along the line.

CZOLGOSZ'S NERVE FAILS KIM
Collapiee When Itelng Taken from tho
Train to tha Penitentiary.
AUBURN, N. Y., Sept. 28. Czol
gosi, President McKlnley's murderer.
In the custody of Sheriff Caldwell of
Erie county, and twenty-one deputies,
arrived in Auburn at 3.15 a. m. The
prison Is only about fifty yards from
the depot. Awaiting the arrival of
the train there was a crowd of about
200 people. Either from fear of the
crowd, which was not very demon
strative, or from sight of the prison,
Swjlgosji's legs gave out and two dep
uty sheriffs were compelled to prac
tically carry the man Into the prison.
Inside the gate his condition became
worse and he was dragged up the
stairs and Into the main hall. He
was placed In a sitting posture on the
bench while the handcuffs were being
removed, but he fell over and moaned
and groaned, evincing the most ab
ject terror. As soon as the handcuffs
were unlocked the man was dragged
into the principal keeper's office. As
In the case of all prisoners, the offi
cers Immediately proceeded to strip
him and put on a new suit of clothes.
During this operation Czolgosz cried
and yelled, making the prison corri
dors echo with evidence of his ter
ror. The prison physician, Dr. John
Gerlln, examined the man and order
ed his removal to the cell In the con
demned row, which he will occupy un
til he Is taken to the electric cbalr.
The doctor declared that the man
was suffering from fright and terror,
but said that he wag shamming to
some extent
The collapse of the murderer was
a surprise to every uue. En route
from Buffalo he showed no indication
of breaking down. He ate heartily
of sandwiches and smoked when not
eating. He talked some and express
ed regret for his crime. He said:
"I am especially sorry for Mrs. Mc
Kinley." He reiterated his former
statement that he had no accomplices
and declared that be never had heard
of the man under arrest In St. Louis,
who claimed to hare tied the hand
kerchief over his band, concealing the
pistol with which the president was
shot. He says the hsndkercblef was

so as to bide the weapon and then
