The insurgents used a sixteeneentimeter Krupp gun, the shells of which were loaded with guncotton. One American was wounded. The town of Olongapo : is on Subig bay. The fact that .the insurgents were erecting earthworks and otherwise fortifying the place led Admiral Watson to send the naval expedition to destroy the fortifications.
