Lieutenant-Commander James C. Gilmore, U.S.N., commanding the U.S.S. Gunboat Yorktown was captured, together with all his command, save two, who were instantly killed and two mortally wounded, by insurgent forces, when he came to Baler in April 1899 to relieve the half-famished Spanish garrison that had been besieged in the town church for nearly a year. Lt. Gilmore and the survivors were taken to Nueva Ecija, and then to Northern Luzon. They were later rescued by American forces and taken to Manila. (English)
