upon the outposts and pack-trains of
the American column at Lake Lanao,

tain Pershing of the Fifteenth cavalry.

pulsed the Moro attacks and. have
suffered no loose. The commander
of the American forces in Mindanao
reports aggressive action against tbe
Moros to be necessary and ask per
mission to move against Bacolod and
other strongholds of tbe hostile Mo
hammedans. There are a boot 2,000
American soldiers in Mindanao avail
able for the desired aggressive move
ment. It 1 believed this number is

Washington, Aug. 20. A cable
dispatch ha been received from Gen
eral Chaffee stating that in his judg
ment an active campaign against the
Moros in Mindanao : is necessary in
order to curb tbe opposition that has
been growing against the United
State authority. The dispatch was
considered of sufficient importance to
be repeated to President Roosevelt at
Oyster Bay. - General Chaffee. has been
directed to use his own discretion in
the matter, and will no doubt engage
in an aggressive movement against the
insurgent More. Some time before
Secretary Root left Washington, the
Moro situation was under consideration
and from a dispatch then at hand the
secretary was of tbe opinion that the
Moro must be dealt, with severely
before they would respect the authority
of tbe United States. General
Chaffee ia now in Mindanao,having left
Manila some days ago. if the campaign
should continue for some time he, no
donbt, will remain in tbe Philippines
Instead of leaving September 30, as he
had planned. It is understood at the
war department that General Chaffee
has sufficient troopa to make an active
campaign.

iron plant here, for which plan have
been drawn, according to information
from those in close touch with the rail

hi since developed, Mr. Hill purchased
a half interest in the Conrad iron
mines in Choteao county, ..for $25,000.
The mine lie in the Sweet Grass bills
and constitute, a veritable mountain of
ore. There ia enough mineral in sight
to keep an ordinary plant supplied for
hundred year, according . to Mr.
Hill's expert who have examined the
property. W. G. Conrad, owner of the
mines, baa confirmed tbe sale to Mr.
Hill. ' :"':
One factor which ha been lacking in
the reduction of the iron ore to metal
has been manganese, which minora1 is
necessary as a flux in tbe smelting. To
overcome this difficulty. President
