The report'of the capture of about -sixty
men of the Twenty-ninth U..
S. Infantry, on Marinduque island,.
is confirmed through communica
tions to MacArthur and Kenjft
from Marinduque island, but details
are lacking. The Yorktown's re
lief column landed at Torrijos, .on
tbe Marinduque coast, and marched
to Santa Cruz, which was tbe pro
posed route of the captured party,
without encountering tbe enemy or
learning anything definite regard
ing ine captives, except mat tney
had entirely disappeared.
Marinduque is a small" island
within forty miles of Luzon, It is
possible that the rebelB have con
veyed the captives to Luzon, ' '.
