MOROS ARE DEFIANT
Their Strength Is Greater
Than Expected.
NO EASY TASK TO QUELL THEM
Pershingr- Is Unable to Reach Macin,
hut at Any Rate He May Wait
for Reinforcements Before
Slaking: Attack.
"WASHINGTON. Sept 24. That the task
of reducing the Moros to terms Is proving
difficult Is Indicated by the following cable
gram, received today by the War Depart
ment from General Chaffee:
"Manila, Sept 24. Adjutant-General,
"Washington: Captain John M. Pershing
to Vicars: unable to reach forts; water
and swamps prevented. CHAFFEE."
The dispatch means that Captain Persh
ing has been compelled to retreat to his
base, at Camp Vicars, and that the Moros
position Is much stronger than was be
lieved by Army officers.
Earlier in the day the department re
ceived the following dispatch:
"Captain John J. Pershing. Fifteenth
Cavalry, left Camp Vicars. September 18,
with a battalion of infantry, troop of cav
alry and platoon of mounted battery.
Marched toward Hlmig, nine miles south
of Vicars, and In that vicinity took three
forts at Gonan; 19th, visited Rayabas,
took two forts; 20th, marched northward
to Sanlr, took two forts. Has communi
cated with two Sultans. Macln still ob
stinate. Expect arrival at Macin today.
"Pershing was fired on frequently when
approaching Sanir. No loss of our troops.
Moros report their loss 25 killed. Macin
about 18 miles northwest of Vicars. Brigadier-General
Samuel Sumner Instructed
to limit the use of firearms as much as
possible, and not to destroy property,
the object being to obtain promise of
noninterference with our troops in the
future. General Sumner now at Camp
Vicars."
A portion of the dispatch was not made

REBELS' POSITION A STROXG OXE.
Americans May Wait for Reinforce
ments Before Attacking: It.
MANILA. Sept 24. Captain John J.
Pershing, of the Fifteenth Infantry, ope
rating against the Uoros in the Island
of Mindanao, has found the Moro posi
tion at Macin, Island of Mindanao, to
be strong, and Has delayed his attack
on it He must throw a pontoon bridge
across a swamp, and possibly receive
reinforcements before engaging the
enemy. The Captain made a reconnoJn
sance close to the Moro position, aiid
found a fort on an elevation, close to the
lake shore, flanked by swamps, virtually
making the promontory an island. The
Americans built rafts preparatory to at
tacking the Moros from the lake, and
then decided to bridge the swamp and
maVe an attack from all sides. The Sul
tans of Macin regard the position as im
pregnable, and have refused to treat with
Captain Pershing.
Brigadier-General Samuel S. Sumner
will send the Moros an ultimatum, de
manding peace and the return of stolen
property. If his demands are rejected
the -place will be assaulted. Captain Per
shing has carefully examined the posi
tion and its surroundings, and Is confi
dent of his ability to capture it without
serious losses. He has returned to Camp
Vicars, whence he reports that the Sul
tans of Macln are hostile in that section
of the Lanao country.

make them Invulnerable to bullets, known
In the Islands as "antlng-antlng." The
constabulary have also captured 150 fol
lowers of RIos, the fanatical leader of
Tayabaa RIos is hiding In the mountains
With a couple of followers.

CUSHMAN ON HENDERSON
He Believes Speaker Thought" House
Will Turn Him Down.
SPOKANE. WashiTsept. 24. (Special.)
Representative Cushman, in an inter
view tonight said he did not believe
Speaker Henderson gave his real reasons
for his refusal to make the race for re
election to Congress In his recent public
statement After expressing a high, re
gard for Henderson personally, and giv
ing tribute to him as a veteran of the
Civil War, Mr. Cushman said:
In my judgment two reasons ac
tuated Mr. Henderson in his withdrawal.
In the first place, It Is common report
that there has been considerable feeling
against him on the part of some Repub
licans' In his district. It Is almost in
credible that a man who has carried the
district for 20 years, and who only two
years ago was elected by a large major
ity, could have been defeated at this
time, especially when the fact that he
Is Speaker confers honor on his district
Still, it Is well understood that much
feeling against him did exist, and it is
altogether probable that he feared de
feat at the polls.
In the second place. Mr. Henderson
probably feared that were he re-elected
there would have been great opposition
to making him Speaker again. In that
fear he was not wrong. Were he to be
an aspirant for the Speakership again
there certainly would be a warm time.
The opposition to his re-election would
not have been because of any personal
feeling against him. There is, however,
a most de-eldpd nnnnslMnn tn tho mnntmr
rin which the Hou3e business is conducted.
The feeling against Mr. Henderson Is
wholly due to the fact that he Is the
chief exponent of a system objectionable
to a large number of Republicans.
'I don't want to cast any clods at any
man, but I do not exaggerate when I
say that the candidacy of Mr. Hender
son for the Speakership again would al
most Inevitably have resulted in his de
feat I think he realized that or feared
it at least, and decided not to suffer the
humiliation of such an event.
"I am a Republican partisan. I believe
the rules should be such that the Re
publican party or any other party, having
oeen given a majority In the House, can
accomplish certain specific purposes de
spite all the filibustering that the minor
ity can do. But I do not believe that
power should be given to a minority of
tne majority to the extent that It can
control both the majority and the minor
ity." EMPEROR OF COREA IS DEAD
Ruler Passes Away nt Anniversary
of His Coronation.
PARIS. Sept. 24. In advices from Seoul,
Corea, the correspondent of the Figaro
says it Is rumored that the Emperor of
Corea Is dead.
YI Heyung succeeded to the throne in
1SC4. He assumed the title of Emperor
In 1S97. It was reported in 1S9S that the
Emperor and Crown Prince of Corea had
been poisoned. They both recovered. It
was then believed that the poisoner was a
lady of the Emperor's household, and
that she was supposed to have been ac
tuated by jealousy or political motives.
A dispatch to the Associated Press from
Seoul. Corea, dated last Monday, said

TflO MUCH HI
WOMEN SHOULD BE CAREFUL NOT
TO OVERDO THEMSELVES.
The Experience of Mrs. Prnxalc. Wife
of the Town Clerk of Millers
ville, Minnesota.
The woman with the responsibility of
a house and family on her shoulders has
always been given to overdoing herself.
As a result almost every day we hear
of one breaking down. Her nerves have
given way or her strength has failed.
Such was the experience of Mr?. Pra
zak, wife of J. M. Prazak, Town 'Clerk
of Millersville, Douglas County, Minn.
She says:
"I had been sewing a great deal, and
it was too much for me. Between that
and my other household duties I began
to be very nervous, I had no appetite
and there was a feeling of heaviness
around my heart, so bad at times that It
eeemed as if I couldn't get any air. I
wao so nervous always that any little
thing would upset me. Nothing that I
could do gave me any relief, and It be
came so bad that I was obliged to neg
Ject ray , housework. I had nervous
prostration.
"Some time In March, after I had been
suffering for several months, I heard
of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo
ple and began taking them. I felt a lit
tle better, and that made me willing to
give them a thorough trial. I took the
pills regularly for two months, and by
that time my health was completely re
stored. "I am glad of this chance to tell how
easily and thoroughly I was cured by
Pink Pills for Pale People. I keep them
In the house all the time, and strongly
recommend them to all who are af
flicted as I was."
The pills which cured Mrs. Prazak
act directly on the blood and nerves,
and in that are different from any ether
medicine. They cure locomotor ataxia,
partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sci
atica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous
headache, after-effects of the grip, pal
pitation of the heart, pale and sallow
complexions, and all forms of weakness,
either in male or female. Dr. "Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People are sold at all
druggists, or will be sent direct from
; Dr. "Wllilame Medicine Co., Schenec
tady, N. Y., postpaid, on receipt of price,
i fifty cents per box; six boxes for two
1 dollars and a half. Do not be deceived
when a clerk tells you that he has a
blood and nerve pill "made from the
same formula as Dr. Williams'. Pink
Pills for Pale People." He does not
know what the formula Is, and he could
not make the pills If he did.
his work, which Included ministration
to cholera victims. A military funeral
will be held In the Cathedral of Manila,
and the remains will be sent to his
home In California. Father McKinnon
was Chaplain In the First California reg
iment In 1S9S. He was recently pastor
