Insurgents in Mindanao Trouble U S Troops in Philippines
Reports from Mindanao describe insurgents around Cayayan mounting defenses and impeding U S forces near Agu san with about 1000 fighters. Capt Miller's detachment suffered losses and injuries as reinforcements and Capt Eliot were struck by native weapons. Casualties and ongoing engagements prompt consideration of additional troops and continued combat near Cayayan. Maj Edie reports 8535 total deaths through June with high disease tolls and plague deaths. Manila board of health figures show Manila pop around 490,000 and a 28 percent death rate over nine months. Additional brutal killings of Americans by insurgents are noted on Batan Island and at Santa Cruse, amid retaliation for Maj Maxino's capture. A Tulisanese group killed family members in reprisal, later clashing with Capt Newbery's six-man detachment under Maxino as guide, resulting in nine slain and 138 prisoners. The paymaster reports ongoing expenditure to support roughly 55,000 army personnel in the archipelago, disbursing about $2 million every two months.
