..
The Moron have ever made the Amer
icans trouble. They are the only trlbo
which consistently persists In nghtlne
the new order of things In the Philip
pines. They are Quito strong; and are
very treacherous.
This last battle occurred in a country
covered with swamps and rocks. It
consisted of several eneaRements.
General Wood has started an expedi
tion ncalnst 2000 More back in tho
mountains. Nt adUces have yet been
received from. It.
U-
MANHjA, Nov. 23. Three hundred
Moros are known to have been killed and
many others were carried oft dead or
wounded, as a result of fivo days' se
vere fighting In Jolo between the Ameri
can troops under General Leonard Wood
and the insurgents. Major H. I. Scott, of
tho Fourteenth Cavalry, and five Ameri
can privates were wounded.
General Wood landed near Slet Lake, in
Jolo, November 12. The Moros were soon
located, and fighting began immediately
and continued until November 17.
Major Scott -was taking Panglima Has
scn, tho Moro leader, who had been taken
prisoner, to Jolo. While en route, Hassen
asked to be allowed to see his family. His
-appeal was granted, and he thereupon led
Major Scott into an ambush, where the
American detachment was fired upon. Ma
jor Scott was shot In both hands. Has
sen succeeded in escaping during this un
expected attack, but is supposed to have
been killed the following day.
The fighting took place in a country
covered with swamps and rocks. The
Moros were driven across the country
from Siet Lake to the town which Has
sen had made his headquarters, and where
it was reported the Moros were 2000
strong.
Tho rebel position was attacked in the
flank by tho American troops, who oc
cupied the town and inflicted a loss of SO
killed on the Moros' side. Hassen, with a
small party, was surrounded. The rest
of the Moros went Into the swamps out
of which they wore driven on Novem
ber 16, leaving 76 dead behind them. On
November 17 the American force renewed
tho attack on the retreating Moros, of
whom 40 more were killed.
The rebel forces have been literally de
stroyed by these operations. General
Wood says the indications are that there
will be no extension of the uprising which
was handled without difficulty.
On November 18 General Wood started
on an expedition against a body of 2003
Moros who arc in the mountains back of
Tablibl. No news has yet been received
as to the result of this movement.
General Wood had under him two bat
talions of the Twenty-eighth Infantry
Regiment, one of the Twenty-third Regi
ment, a platoon of Captain George Satley's
battery, two troops of the Fourteenth
Cavalry, and a detachment of engineers.

WANTS THE TARIFF CUT.
Philippines Desire to Trade More
With the United States.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22. The develop
ment of the Philippine Islands during the
past year is displayed in the annual re
port of Colonel Clarence R. Edwards,
Chief of the Bureau of Insular Affairs of
the War Department, made public today.
The accomplishment of greatest Impor
tance to the islands during tho year has
been the successful launching of the new
fiscal system. By January next tho new
system will be in complete operation. The
new circulation medium consists of 18,000,
000 pesos In fractional silver coins and 10,
000,000 pesos In paper money. To estab
lish tho new system and purchase tho sil
ver coinage two issues of bonds were
made of $3,000,000 cash, both of which were
sold at a premium. The proceeds of the
sales of these bonds were deposited and
draw interest at the rate of 3 per cent,
so tho Government actually made money
by rolnjr into debt.
Colonel Edwards emphasizes tho neces
sity of a reduction of tho Dlngley tariff
rates for the encouragement of trade be
tween the United States and the Philip
pines. There is an active desire on the
part of the Philippine commercial inter
ests, he says, for tariff -concessions, and
the report states the same desire has been
evinced by the same interests in this
country. The chief exports of the islands
to the United States are sugar, tobacco,
hemp and copra. The latter two commodi
ties are already on the free list
Aside from the tariff question, the mat
ter of most serious moment Is tho en
forcement of the Congressional act re
quiring the carrying trade between the
United States and the Philippines, as well
as tho coastwise trade of the Islands, to
bo strictly confined to vessels carrying the
American flag after July 1 next. At the
present time, Philippine commerce Is car-
rled in British ships to the extent of 59 l
per cent of the foreign trade of the isl
ands. Other foreign vessels carried prac
tically the remainder of this commerce,
leaving only 3 per cent to American ves
sels. A fleet of at least eighteen ships is
being constructed, and the prediction Is
made that despite the apprehension now
felt, American ships will "be ready to take
the place of foreign vessels without seri
ously Inconveniencing the shipping inter
ests. The enforcement of this act, however,
with reference to the coastwise trade pre
sents a much more difficult problem.
There are now 4125 vessels engaged In the
coastwise trade of the Islands. Of this
number, only twenty-two are American
ships. With the whole number of ships
now participating in this trade, the ton
nage Is said to be entirely inadequate and
the passenger service wretched.
It Is suggested that the building of
light-draft vessels to participate In this
carrying business presents a splendid op
portunity for the profitable Investment of
American capital, and the uncertainty as
to probable future Congressional action
on this subject la asserted to be the rea
son why no steps are being taken to sup
ply the coming imperative demand for,
American-built ships.
The education of Filipino youths In this
country for the purpose of making them
the future teachers of the native schools
of tho island has begun under an act
passed last Summer by tho insular Gov
ernment. Ninety-eight young Filipinos
are now on their way to this country for
that purpose. They will attend the gram
mar schools of Southern California dur
ing tho Winter and In tho Spring be dis
tributed through the West and Eastern
portions of the United States for further
instruction.
NATION HAS FIGHT WITH TBTIST
Cement Manufacturers Object to In
vasion of Their Field.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22. (Special.) A
gigantic struggle between the cement
forces of the West has found its way to
Washington. It Is believed that Congress
will bo Involved before long. Tho issue is
whether tho Government shall bo allowed
to continue the erection of cement mills at
th Tonto Dam In Arizona and sell cement
to the farmers of tho valley at Ies3 than
$3 a barrel, or by suspending that work
compel them, to pay $9 a barrej.
The Tonto dam, when completed, will be
230 feet high, and will require more than
200,000 barrels of cement. If the present
plan Is carried out tho cost will bo $2,700,
000. If the trust wins, $1,000,000 more will
be required. The hearing will be held
before tho Secretary of tho Interior Tues
day. All the ingredients requisite for the
manufacture of cement are there. The
Government ha3 already $1000 worth of
machinery on the ground. Thirteen hun
dred landowners have bound themselves
to reimburse tho Government In ten yeara
for its expenditures. The trust conten
tion is that the Government's manufac
ture of cement would be paternalism.
Oregon, Colorado, Utah, Montana and
other Irrigation states are intensely in
terested in the outcome of the matter.

DESIRE "SPONTANEOUS" CALL
Ohio Senator Is Not Seeking the
Place, but No Man Ever Refused
to Be a Candidate if the Con
vention Wanted Him
NORFOLK, Va., Nov. 22. (Special.)
Senator Hanna's boom for tho Republican
nomination for the Presidency has been
started in the South through the mails,
and hundreds of circulars and newspaper
clippings have been received. The clrcu-
lars do not state who it is at tho head of i
the Hanna mall bureau, but local Re
publicans think they are party leaders
who are hostile to Roosevelt.
The literature received here was mailed
from Cincinnati and Cleveland, and tho
clippings tell of the great service Hanna
has rendered tho party, while the cir
culars reclto that the Senator has de
clared he is not a candidate for tho nomi
nation, but no man has ever refused a
nomination made by a convention. The
circulars further stato that should a
spontaneous and universal call come from
tho party tho Senator would respond.
It is stated that the Senator's friends
are desirous that his boom shall begin
outside of the State of Ohio. The prop
osition is mado that the South should
start the ball, and Ohio would furnish
the candidate. A further proposition is
that Hanna clubs should be formed
throughout tho South. The parties who
aro mailing the literature appear to be
pretty well posted on stato organizations
and with local conditions, although many
of tho circulars have been received by
Democrats, probably through mistake.
Virginia Republicans who have been
watching political events aro of the opin
ion that Roosevelt tried to head off the
boom of Hanna when the President re
quested Hanna to retain the chairmanship
of the Republican party and that Hanna
conduct the campaign next year.

Idaho Senator Sees No Valid Reason
for Unseating Utahan.
SPOKANE, Wash., Nov. 22. Senator W.
B. Hejburn, of Idaho, arrived la Spokane
this morning on his return from Alaska
and left for Washington on the afternoon
train, accompanied by Mrs. Heyburn. In
an interview Senator Heyburn declared
that, In his Judgment, there Is no reason
why Senator Reed Smoot, of Utah, should
be denied his seat.
"The polygamy charge," said Senator
Heyburn, "was never entertained seri
ously, even by Mr. Smoot's most pro
nounced opponents. With It disposed of
there remains no reason why he should
bo deprived of his seat. It would be a
monstrous proposition to deny a Senator
duly chosen by his state tho right to sit
In tho Senate merely because he enter
tained any certain religious views. I
think the opposition to Mr. Smoot Is
based on entirely untenable grounds, and
I havo no Idea that the Senate will un
seat him. There Is no reason why It
should do so."

the representations made by a woman
mine-promoter and her mining expert,
threo men hailing from as many states
yesterday Instituted actions for damages
In the Superior Court In Oakland against
Martha EL O'Dell and G. G. Freemont.
Mrs. O'Dell Is represented to have been
conducting a mining bureau on the corre

to have been the mineralogist she quoted
to prove the truth of her rosy assertions
as to the fabulous wealth to be made by

Albert H. Lee, who halls from Oregon,
Is an alleged victim of the O'Dell-Free-mont
Mining Bureau. It was In May last
that Horn came from Nebraska, but Leo
states he did not become Interested In
the O'Dell Eldorado until July. So im
pressed was Lee with the glowing descrip
tion of wealth to be dragged from tho
mine that he sold his property In Ore
gon at a loss of $200 and hurried to Cali
fornia to get a slice of bullion In tha
O'Dell mine before It had all been ex
tracted by others. Lee now calculates he
Is out $1200 on the venture and wants Mrs.
O'Dell to reimburse him. He asserts that
numbers of ranchers In Oregon are vic
tims, some having sold their homes to In-
