LUKBAN
a banca cleared from Iloilo for Tacloban and a lorcha bound for Tacloban with 750 sacks of rice, confiscated guns, ammunition and money worth over 200,000 Mexican dollars, destroyed three barotos and captured a native making for the Samar coast in a baroto, and made arrests in Zumarraga, burned nipa huts and destroyed three barotos more.
In another ship USS Vicksburg, its commander E. B. Barry reported on October 29, 1901 that nine days earlier a company of Marines destroyed a number of shacks and about 2,500 sacks of rice near Guiuan. Seven days later, his troops again destroyed a number of shacks and captured three small canoes. That evening, they captured a large banca and two more canoes. The next day, they burned 15 to 20 shacks and captured five canoes.
