MOKE TOWN'S CAPTURED.
Americans Hae a Hot Brush With the
Natives in South Luson.
ON BOARD THE STEAMER VEN
US, LEG ASM. Luton, Jan. 23. Five
companies of the Forty-seventh Volun
teer Infantry, aided by the gunboat
Nashville, today fought their way Into
the native towns of Legaspl and Albay.
We had five men slightly wounded.
Forty-Ave dead Filipinos had been
counted by nightfall and we are caring
for ; dozen of their wounded. Shells
from the Nashville Ignited two ware
houses filled with baled hemp. These
fires could not be put out and SOOO bales,
with a total valuation of $120,000 were
destroyed by nightfall. After the fight
ing was over and the men had time to
talk, an oflcer said:
"My God, is that what I've been wait
ing thirty years to see, the shooting
down of black men as if they were rab
bits?" The distorted, shattered and bloody
bodies of our former enemies lie in two
rows in Legasri's principal street, two
blazing warehouses glare and roar in
the darkness and the American sol
diers are stumbling through the village
streets working to get settled for the
night Companies H, F, G, F. and C,
of the Forty-seventh, came back on the
Hancock from Manila to Sorsogon. For
conveyance, from Sorsogon to Legaspl,
these companies wer transferred to the
local steamers Venus and Castelano,
accompanying the expedition as trans
ports, and late yesterday afternoon the
two vessels convoyed by the Nashville,
with General Kobbe on board, sailed
from Sorsogon bay for Legaspl. Sor
sogon is on the west and Legaspl on
the east side of the souuthern extrem
ity of Luson Island. The run between
the two ports Is about 110 miles by sea,
though not more than ten miles over
land. So the Insurgent soldiers who
abandoned Sorsogon to us three days
ago have had ample time to come over
to Legaspl and swell the ranks of the
garrison here, granting, of course, that
they did not prefer the greater security
of the mountains. ,
Early this morning the Venus, closely
followed by the Castelleno, with the
Nashville an hour and a half behind
them steamed Into Albay bay and three
miles off Legasypl waited for the war
ship. Legaspl, on the coast, and Albay i
a mile and a half inland, are at the
base of the Mayou volcano. On the
southern edge of Legaspl and at our
left as the ships steam in there is a
steep hill used as a lookout station.
Here can be seen with the aid of strong
glasses, a Filipino flag. There are no
flags over the warehouses of the town
and these two facts point to probable
resistance to our landing. We have
heard that General Panan, a Chinese
half-caste, commands here and that he
will fight At 7:4." the Nashville passed
us and steamed close into the beach.
She examined the shore and from the
Venus we could see a long line of black
sand trenches to the right of the town,

alio between the stone warehouse In
the center of the village there were
other trenches and heavy stone walls.
The trenches were crowded with men.
some with rides and uniformed, others
In white. They watched the actions of
our ves'ls closely, but no shot was
fired on either side. The Nashville's
inspection of Legaspl was long and
direful.
The English gunboat Plover came in'
behind us this morning and followed
the Nashville close to the beach. Her
big white flag swung out in the breeie
telllni? those on Bhore she was not of
our party, but merely a neutral and in
active spectator.
At 9:4 the Nashville came alongside
the Venus and General Kobbe mega
phoned to Major Shipton. commanding
the battalion on board, "Move your
ship Into the first wharf on.l land your
nun."
There Is deep water oft Legaspl and
coasting steamers can swing their
sterns into any of the several bamboo
dockd in front of the hemp warehouses.
Eut the captain of the Venus demurred.
He had seen the trenches filled with
Filipinos. He had seen galloping otll
cers giving orders, concentrating their
soldiers In positions from which they
would have his vessel under a cross fire
If they landed at the wharf, and be ex
plained that it was Impossible to get
into this dock without less than one
hour's backing and hauling; further,
that his stern lines had to be taken
ashore and made fast to the sand
anchors well upon the beach; that his
crew would be shot to pieces If he at
tempted to land; in short, landing there
and then was out of the question.
Meantime a boat from the Plover bad
gone to the Nashville and from there
to the beach. Her mission was to re
move any Englishmen who might be In
the town from the danger of the threat
ened fighting. There were two English
men In Legaspl. but the Filipinos de
clined to allow them to leave. Then the
Plover's boat returned and during the
subsequent fighting, the English gun
boat remained half a mile out of the
bay.
Captain Bradley, quartermaster-captain
of the Hancock, was on board the 1
Nashville with General Kobbe. He was
sent to the Venus to learn why that
ship did not back Into the dock as di
rected. The Spanish captain of the
Venus again explained how long this
operation would take and Captain
Bradley went back to the Nashville to
report. From him It was learned that
the Filipinos had removed the planking
in the docks, leaving only the bamboo
stringers. This they had seen from the
Nashville. Soon Captain Bradley re
turned, saying that the landing would
be made at a point about half a mile
down the beach, to the mouth of Le
gaspl, and about 500 yards beyond the
end of heavy sand entrenchments; that
this landing' would advance into the
town and that the Nashville would shell
the enemy's works In front of our men
as they came along the beach. Then
there was much bustle and activity on
boad the Venus, as details of the
sharpshooters from each of the four
companies were loaded into our own
three available boats and the two boats
sent over from the Nashvlle to help in
the landing. Our men embarked from
our BtarboaYd (tide, the side of the thlp
exposed to the enemy's trenches, only
six hundred yards away. The enemy
missed h splendid opportunity to do
great execution to our soldiers. But
they have missed many such, first and
last, so we are accustomed to taking
these risks. Our landing part pulled
away toward the Castellano, which
had taken up a position opposite the
point where the landing was to be
made. Here our Ave boats were Joined
by two from Castellano and the landing
party was composed as folows:
About thirty men from company H,
Captain Bc-ntley commanding; forty
men from company G, Captain Sim
mons commanding; twenty men from
company F, under Lieutenant Murphy;
fifteen from company F, under Lieu
tenant Srnyzer, and about sixty men
from company C, under Captain Bish
op. Major Shipton commanded the
landing party and was accompanied by
Captain Bradley and Lieutenants Con
roy and GIsser, of the Forty-third vol
untearn Infantry.
At twenty-five minutes past ten It
could be seen through the fine, mist
like rain that the seven landing boats
were close to the beach. Then we look
ed ashore to discover a detachment of
Filipinos moving to the north behind
the trenches, evidently intending to re
pel the advance of our landing party
into the town. At that instant the
Nashville opened fire on the trenches
with shrapnel at 800 yards range.
From this time until the end of the
fighting at 10:15 p. m., the Nashville
kept up an almost continuous fusllade
of shrapnel and rapid fire guns, direct
ed against the trenches and fortified
points on shore.
PORT DE FRANCE.
Serious Disturbances Between the N
ro Laborers and Whites of
the IslanJ.
PORT DE FRANCE, Martinique,
Feb. IS. (Correspondence of the Aaso
elated Press.) The following particu
lars ubout the riots and Inccndlitry fires
which have spread terror all through
this Island, have been obtained. In the
rioting at the village of U-friMH-oln.
Lieutenant Kahn win threatened at a
distance, by the strikers and he be
lieved his life and thnt of his soldiers
seriously threatened. He tired his re
volver and killed one man. At the sune
time the soldiers fired and eight men
were fllll.'d outright and some twelve
wounded. The mayor of I-ofrnnooK
M. Clement, was present at the riot und
couraseously placing himself between
the strikers and the soldiers nppoallnir
to bth sides to remain culm, he could
have been shot down but for the devo
tion of young friend of his, who cov
ered M. Clement with his own body and
received a bullet fired at the mayor.
The socialist aitltutors alleged that this
Incident supports their charge that the
military Is responsible for the catas
trophe. The nationalists or antl-mln-Isterlal
partisans In their turn, accuse
the civil authorities of having brought
about, by their Incapacity and their
complicity with the radicals, 'the re
gretable condition of affair In Martin
ique, as they ynre charged with having
caused a similar crisis In G.iudal.uie,
where Incendiary tires und riots pre
vailed last summer. The Jewish ques
tion mlsht not have been mention-.! at
all. In connection with the riots and In
cendiary and been added to the other
elements of discord but for the fact
that Lieutenant Kahn Is represented as
being a Jew in certain narrative of the
riot while this is denied In other circles.
He Is really a Jew.
On February 5, bands of from Soo to
1000 strikers from the sugar plantations,
armed with their long knives for cut
ting the cane, and with slicks, formed
themselves In the communes township
of Lorraln and Salnte Marie. These
bands ran over all parts of the country,
destroying the workshops and threat
ening with death the laborers yet
working In the sugar mills, unless they
leave off work Immediately. Thut move
ment extended rapidly to the neighbor
ing agricultural centers, notably at
Basse Polnte. The aim of the strikers
was to obtain by threats an Increase of
two or three francs a head for a day's
labor. Formerly the laborer received
twenty cents a day, but he had only
300 canes to cut, now for a few more
cents he must cut from seven to eight
hundred canes. This is no longer done
and paid by days' work, but at the
task, and inasmuch as It takes two
days or more to cut that number of
canes, the workman hardly gets the
twenty cents received formerly.
The laborers went about shouting
"Death to the whites," and announcing
their intention of cutting off the heads
of the whites If their demands were not
granted. The negroes believe all kinds
of stories which are told them.
Thus Mr. Knight, a naturalized Eng
lishman, who was elected senator of
Martinique to the Paris Chambers, has
returned this week. He caused to be
posted everywhere a proclamation
counselling the strikers to avoid any
conflict with the troops and reminding
them that he remains the same friend
of them as before, but this does not
prevent thousands of blacks believing
the story told them to the effect that
Queen Victoria s.-nt to Senator Knight
two million francs to be distributed
among them and that, Instead of dis
tributing the money, Mr. Knight had
divided It between himself, his friend
the governor, Mr. Gabrie. and the civil
functionaries of the Island. The blacks
of the colony who are quite indifferent
as to what power own their island, and
were struck with the English name of
the senator they had been '.old to elect
two years ago, were quite ready to
credit the story of Queen Victoria's
funds. It Is hard to Imagine the cred
uallty of those black laborers and this
disposition of their mind Is to be
feared, especially during the electoral
periods. Municipal elections will take
place next Week In the commune of
Salnte Ispril, in which Is located the
village of Lefrancols and the political
parties try to Influence the voters by
throwing the odium of the late massa
cre upon the shoulders of their adver
saries. The whole garrison of the Isl
and consists of one battalion of marine
Infantry of about 600 men, two batta
lions of naval artillery and 120 gen
darmes. At Lefrancols the day when
the striker's bands mentioned above
reached there, no more than twenty
five men of the Island's garrison were
stationed In the place.
They had been sent to the village,
fortunately, a few days previously on
acount of the agitation which had pre
vailed for some time at Saint Marltand,
Kobert and other places. The strikers
finally went to Le francols, after com
pelling the closing of many sugar mills
and the destroying of much property.
At Lefrancols, Lieutenant Kahn had
elifht of his twenty-five men lined In
front of the principal gate of a sugar
miil threatened by about 600 strikers.
The latter made several attempts to
force an entrance, despite the entreat
ies of Mayor Clements. Two or three
times a collision was about to take
place, for the strikers nearly touched
the drawn bayonets of the soldiers.
Suddenly a revolver was fired by Lieu
tenant Kahn, who believed his life
placed in Jeopardy by the threats of a
bully striker and the soldiers In their
turn fired a volley. Twenty-one rioters
were lying on the ground, nine dead,
and twelve wounded. Of these five are
already out of the hospital, but under
surveillance of the police, for they will
be indicted at he next session of the
courts. Some men were arrested by the
gendarmes. When the prisoners arrived
here ther was great excitement ou tht
route followed by the striker. They
were hailed by the populace as the vic
tims of the white men, "whose heads
should be cut off," On the nest day
Fort At France was placarded with Vlo
lent posters Inciting the colored people
to revole against the planters and "the
white exploiters." The governor did
not order the Incendiary-placards to be
torn down by the police, and he attend
ed the funeral of the strikers killed at
Lefrancols. Dally th. re are Incendiary
fins In several parts of Martinique.
