She Wat Patrolling the (Irani River,
on th« Northwest Side of Manila
Hay, When Att.irked and Captured
by R -beta.
Manila, Sept. <15.—It is reported that
the insurgents have captured the United
States gunboat Urdaueta m the Orani
river, on the northwest side of Manila
bay, where she was patrolling. One
officer and nine of her crew are missing
The United States gunboat Petrel,
sent to investigate the matter, has re
turned and reports the Urdaueta beached
opposite the town of Orani, ou the Orani
river. She was riddled with bullets
and bnrnedaud the following gnus with
their ammunition were captured:
A 1-pounder; oue Colt automatic gnu
and one Nordenfeldt 25-inillimerer gun.
The crew of Urdaueta are prisoners,
or have beeu killed. Further details
are lacking.
The gunboat Urdanetu is a little craft
of only 40 tons’ displacement, not much
larger than a small tug. She was cap
tured by the navy early in the war and
has been on police duty in the bay for
months past. The records of the navy
department show that she was one of
the boats of which the Oregon is the
parent shijk That is, she was supposed
crew and to act under the instructions
Of the Oregon’s commander.
According to the last reports to the
department the little boat was last May
under the command of Naval Cadet
Welborn O. Wood, but the personnel of
the crew is not a matter of record, being
6pbject to frequent changes. Wood was
appointed to the naval academy from
Oregon, had passed his academic course
and was performing two years’ sea ser
vice at the time of his capture.
Naturally the department officials are
vexed that the difficulties of the nego*
tiations looking to the release of Lien*
tenant Gilmore of the Yorktown and
his men should be added to by this last
misfortune. Still, there is no disposi*
tion unnecessarily to cnrb the junior
officers of the navy, who are performing
inch gallant service in the Philippines.

lately that General Brooko was to leave
