Surprised Bolomen Attack at Bangajon Samar Island
A Manila dispatch reports a surprise attack by about 500 bolomen on a detachment of 46 from the Ninth Infantry at Bangajon on the Candara river Samar Island October 18. Ten killed and six wounded, with the remainder retreating. News prompted dispatch of gunboats and General Smith to the scene. Washington officials frowned at the dramatic accounts of the encounter amid a network of thirty eight Samar posts supplying troops by water.
