The following is an editorial from the
Hartford Courant of June 8. The en-
gagement was on June I9 at Das Mari-
nas. The Americans lost four killed
and twenty wounded and when relieved
by reinforcements had ammunition for
only half an hour more:
“We print this morning another letter
from Lieutenant Ward Cheney. This
time he tells of the fierce fight the bat-
talion to which he belongs had with the
Filipinos, and that came so near being
the end of the whole party. A _ small
detachment ‘of Americans, sent forward
to reconnoiter, were surrounded by a
large number of natives and, owing to
the exhausion of their ammunition,
would have been all captured and killed
but for the timely arrival of reinforce-
ments. The Chicago Record, received
at this office under date of August 4,
prints a letter from Imus from its spec-
ial correspondent, Harry A. Armstrong,
describing this same encounter. Car-
respondent Armstrong is able to write
one interesting and _ gratifying fact,
which circumstances prevented young
Cheney from putting on paper. Telling
of the slow and perilous retreat, Mr.
Armstrong says:
“For another hour we fought and
crept slowing back, the enemy’s fire in-
creasing. Up and down the road the
staff officers galloped on their horses. In
this work Lieutenant Ward Cheney
showed great courage, riding from left
to right and dashing his horse through
the hedge into the open field to give
orders to the right flank,’
“After the trouble was over General
Wheaton complimented the Fourth In-
fantry, and said their First Battalion
had met an army of 2,000 and _ held
them in check.”
