JMCADLY IIAXD-TO-IIAXI) FIGHT
t'llmli Perpendicular Wails lo .Meet
Knives and Iliflcs.
MANILA. March 10. The cable between
Jolo atMl Mindanao is broken, and thcrc
is only a launch service between tlie two
iMMttMi.' As a result, further details of
the recent battle on Mount Dajo arc not
awttflahte. Apparently there will be no
more lighting on the Island of Jolo. On
the Jmih1 of Mindanao Federal troops
and constabulary arc pursuing hostile
Mora and probably some Important cn
imprwm will follow.
Advices at hand show that the attack
on Mount Dajo was a most notable one.
Maior-Gencral "Wood directed Colonel .low-fit
W. DHiicnn to attack the Moros on
the crater and capture or kill them. This
wns :uromplishetl after repeated demands
to swiTender. Six hundred Moms were
kllte. It Ik believed that no prisoners
wore taken.
The attack was made under the most
hazardous circumstances. Starting early
ht the afternoon of March 6. the assail
ants ciimltod for a distance of 2100 feet up
a Ipvr. cone, the thickly wooded ridges of.
which furnished the only foothold. The
btut f00 feet of the ascent was at an angle
f fio degrees, and the last T0 feet were
almost perpendicular. At the top wero
l fanatical Moros armed with rifles and
knives and supported by native artillery.
The fortified crater was almost invisible
and seemingly inaccessible. At the word
of comma ltd the troops rushed over into
the crater and hand-to-hnud oucountcirs

A ooinplule lht of casualties has not yet
ben made up. but the company command

CSIUSAT INTEREST IX CAPITAL
Taft I)ecriles Jsland and People
Who Were Exterminated.
WASHINGTON. March 9. Not because
of the casualties among the forces en
Raged, though they were more numerous
than In any battle In the Philippines for
several years past, but rather because
of the extraordinarily large number of
the natives killed, the news of the battle
of Mount Dajo was received at the War
Department (und the Navy Department
aa well, for the bluejackets were In the
thick or the fighting), with Intense in
terest. The first authentic news of the
battle came through the Associated Press
roporte. though at tho same time the
Hphor experts of the War "Department
were busily engaged in trying to unravel
a long report which had come directly
from Manila by cable. This message was
from Colonel Andrews, the military' sec
retary at Army headquarters at Manila,
who had received his data by inter-Island
-able from Zamboango, where the commander-in-chief
of the Philippine divis
ion. Major-General Leonard Wood, hap
pened to -be.
Secretary Taft was at a Cabinet meet
ing when the official cablegram was
Dually deciphered, and a copy of it was
Kent at once to the executive office and
the President and members of the Cabi
net listened with keenest Interest to its
reading by Secretary Taft, After his re
turn to the War Department, Mr. Taft,
commenting upon the engagement, said:
General Wood appears to have been there
by accident or rather without any idea of
what wait going to happen. I had a. cable
cram from htm nayinp there were some mat
ters calling him Into the southern islands,
but he would not bo out of reach of the ca
ble and I suppose when he got there he found
the trouble on. General Bits?, who. a com
mander of the Department of Mindanao, ex
orcises military Jurisdiction over the Jolo
group, was probably at Zamboango. when Gen
eral V.'ood arried there on his trip of Inspec
tion. Here In Wood's cablegram:
"Manila. Feb. 2C. Leaving for Zamboango.
TBe abeent eight days. Civil and military bus
tneiwj preparatory to turning over duties aa
Governor Moro provinces; shall be constantly
In cable communication."
The data relative to General Wood's
movement were produced in a response to
a suggestion- that possibly General Wood
may have gone to Jolo with the Intention
of organizing a punitive expedition
against the Moros In the mountain fast
nesses who had held out for the past two
years against the American rorces. The
Secretary said that he had made two
trips to Jolo, the last during his visit to
the Philippines last Summer. Refresh
ing his recollections by some of the offi
cial figures at .hand, ho said:
The Island of Jolo Is 26 miles la area,
with a. population of 44,716 people, and & dens
ity of IS inhabitants per square mlte.'In the
whole commandancy of Jolo there were only
1270 clvlllred, aa compared with S0.UD wild
Inhabitants. Jolo 1a the most important Island
of the archipelago of that name. Ilng south
west of Zamboango. in 0 degrees north lati
tude. The aurfaco Is covered with hills,
which in a. tew casee. tuch as Bahu. 2310 feet.
Butplla. 2739 feet, and Tam&languls. 2940
feet, rise to the olgnlty of mountains. Mount
Dajo, referred to In the dispatch, was prob
ably not mentioned In the mm connection
with these mountains because If was only
2100 Xcet hlch.
The Jolo Archipelago I Inhabited by two
races of people the Jolo and the isma the
former a Malay people, long inhabiting the
Jolo Inlandn, who have brn proflrtjteo" Into
Mohammedanism. The Sultan lives in a na
tive town near the city of Jolo. and is the
nominal head of all Moro there and in Min
danao. The tatter recognise him, however,
aj. their convenience, when it Milts their pur
pofes. Two or three Dattos have ulwaya re
sisted the Sultan's claims and there ha al
ways been a state of war between them. The
i?ultan control over them, therefore, is quite
limited, and with three warring factions in the
islands, the Jealousy of the suppert of the
Americans for one sHe la quite enough to
k;ep them in a constant state 9t turbulence
and fighting. 1 u one of the factions
thought It had gotten together men enough
and that they were absolutely Immune, tta
they were Junt cleaned at.
' By the way. It is wotth noting that the
constabulary, which is highly prabv! In Gen
eral "Wood's dfsjiatch for its wrfc. was tn
that section made up of More themselves.
It has never been difficult to cnlhR them in
our fenioe to light ngainM. their own people
when called uion, probably ewiag to the num
ber of factions in the inlands. la this ir
tleular cane the heav miM-tjttlty among the
Moros engaged would probably be cxplalnrd
by their method of flchtlHg. It would have
been lmposnlble to inflict the same low; on the
Northern Filipinos. The Istter have a way
of disappearing before the troops ia the Jun
gle and conducting guerrlla warfare. But
the Moros, on the appearance of an enemy,
bound tlie alarm and gather everybody lnlun
their forts, where they -Rill fight to the en-J
Probably the lour in this catv was caused by
the lire of the Mlers" artlllerj-
No, I nve not the last fear that this move
ment will extend to the other island, and, in
fact. 1 think that the hr-nvy blow struck th
Moros will have a strongly deterrent effect
ujon them.
No further reports- of the- fighting In
Jolo reached, the officials here tonighL
In addition to the advices to the War
Department today it has been expected
that In view of tho participation of tho
bluejackets some message in tho way of
an official report from that jhjutcc also
would be forthcoming, but up to midnight
no report had reached the Navy Depart
ment officials.
During 1KU and 1M2 Lieutenant H. L.
Wigmorc. United States ISiigliicers. made
several armed reconnoltering trips
through the island of Jolo. where the re
cent light with the Moros took ?lnee. He
visited almoat all parte of the Island and
the reports he made about those trips
shed some light on the geographical as
pects of the country and on the charac
ter of some of the tribes, several of
which up to that time had never .seen a
white man and wero even ignorant of the
existence of Spaniards.
His lopnrts show that the Wand is
mountainous, though the mountains sel
dom come higher than 4X feet, with a
few small plateaus between them. The
mountains are practically covered with
trees and underbrush. Here and there
the natives have cleared tip the vegeta
tion and raise cocoantit trees, a little to
lacco and corn and camote. a vegetable
which corresponds to the American sweet
potato. The villages In the mountains are
small and are surrounded by bamboo
fences. The native chlofr. live In some
wltnt pretenilouf" houses, but the natives
themselves live In. w-called nlpa huts,
made f grans and bamboo and leaves or
the nipa palm.
Like all the islands of Ihe archipelago,
Jolo Is volcanic. During the past fwo
years, however, most of the volcano
have been extinct and In the dry craters
water has accumulated and little lakes
have formed. These dry crators often
form a splendid natural fortification.
Lieutenant Wigmore. in his 'expedition,
received a friendly welcome from the
native chiefs. An a rule visits were ex
changed between the chiefs and the
American commander, who assured the
Moro chiefs that the only and bent course
that could be followed by them tvas to
seek the friendship of the American Gov
ernment, which from Its jdde assured the,.
Moros that It would Interfere in no way
witli private rights and liberty and had
no Intention of doing anything lutrmful
to the prosperity of its new puhjocts.
I ins view was adopted by the great ma
jority of the native chiefs and it was
seldom that any trouble was experJoHred.
The task became harder In lite Interior
of the island, where no white man had
ever been seen. The different tribes live
In constant -warfare and no great mercv
Is shown in these wars. The Spaniards
at no time pom to have Interested them
selves very much In the Island, though
at one spot the ruins of an old Spanish
fortress, together with a Spanish gun of
the beginning of the last century were
found.
The last annual report of the Governor
of the Sulu district and commanding offi
cer of the garrison shows that they had
had success in establishing law and order
"with so unruly a tribe as the Stilus,
long known as the boldest of the piratos
Infesting Malayan seas." Quoting from
Major Scott's report. It Is gratifying to
note that during the late troubles In
the Moro province the Sultan and all Im
portant chiefs were on the side or the
Government, but those who made the
trouble were renegades and they had no
important Influence. It was recommend
ed that for some time to come the Gov
ernor should also be the commander of.
the troops, as a one-man power Is easily
understood and is appreciated by the in
habitants. It also -was reported that by constant
curorts on the part of the district and
other officials the Moros have been In
duced to engage in agricultural and other
pursuits and to gather producc from the
sea? and to bring the results of their
labor Into town, which they can now do
since travel is unmolested and slavery
and its consequences largely suppressed.
General Wood, in a report on affairs
in the Jolo district In 1504 pointed out
there would be constant work of a police
character which would require the use of
troops and constabulary.
HEAVY LOSS AMONG TROOPS
List of Killed and Wounded in Bat
tic With Moros.
WASHINGTON. March 9. An official
cablegram from Manila gives the follow
ing list of killed and wounded In the bat
tle of Dajo Mountain:
"Killed, army. 15 enlisted. Captain
Tyree wounded in thigh, slight. First
Lieutenant Gordon Johnston, wounded
in shoulder, serious. First Lieutenant
Ernest H. Ajjnew, wounded in head,
slight. First Lieutenant "Wiley T.
Conway, wounded in eye, slight. Thirty-two
enlisted men. Names enlisted
men killed and wounded will be re
ported later.
Navy, wounded: Enslcn H. S. Cook,
foot, serious; Coxswain Gilmore, el
bow, slight; one seaman, slight.
"Constabulary, killed: Three enlist
ed men; wounded, John R. White,
thigh, serious.
Total killed, IS; wounded. 52.
'Troops naval detachment and con
stabulary all highly commended.
The fact that Ensign H. S. Cooke, Jr.,
Is reported to have been wounded estab
lishes the fact that the gunboat Pam
pango, a small craft of about 200 tons,
was at Jolo, for this young officer Is the
commander of the vessel. Cooke Is a
native of the District of Columbia, but
was appointed to the Navy from New
York, where his father lives. He has
been on duty on the Asiatic station since
1903, and because of his good record re
cently relieved Ensign Oscar F. Cooper
in command or the Pampanga, or which,
prior to that time, he had been acting as
executive officer.
The Department of Jolo is now in com
mand of Brigadier-General Tasker H.
Bliss. It was formerly commanded by
Major-General Leonard Wood, who after

Philippine division upon the departure of
General Corbln.

Traffic Is Densest.
k'r; ;
CHICAGO. ' MarW'ST The largest work
In tho Installation 'of block signals ever
undertaken by yhallroed has been au
ttiorized by the manaRcment of the Har
riman system of railroads. Today E. H.
Harriman Instructed Julius Kruttschnitt,
director of maintenance and operation of
his -roads, to bcRln work immediately with
a view to InstalHnB 23C miles of auto
matic electric block Klsnals, which will
cost nearly $X0),0. The signals are to be
placed over the entire line of the Union
PacTnc and Southern Pacific roads be
tween Omaha and San Francisco, a dis
tance of 1SC0 miles, and also between Sn
Francisco and Los Ancoles. on the South
ern Pacific, a distance of 512 miles.
Costly Electric Signals.
The estimated cost of the blocks Is be
tween $1000 and $1200 per mile of road.
The most expensive system of automatic
electric signalling extan Is to be used,
and is of a character to Insure the great
est safety possible under the exlsUng con
ditions of railroad operations in the
United States.
The new signals. In addition to their or
dinary function of maintaining spaces be
tween trains, will protect against broken
rails, open switches, cars or other ob
structions standing upon the tracks or
fouling main lines, against washouts and
other accidents that break tracks.
On December 31 last the Union Pacific
and Southern Pacific roads had 103S miles
of track protected by automatic block
signals, and when the work now under
taken Is completed the two roads will
have a total of 227 miles under this pro
tection. The transcontinental line having
the next largest number of miles of block
signalling is the Northern Pacific, with
1053 miles.
Make Harriman System Safe.
In planning the work consideration has
been given t the varying density of
traffic to varying grades and curves, and
every facing-point switch is to be protect
ed by an automatic electric signal. When
Mr. Harriman decided to spend more than
J1CO.000.0CO In rebuilding the Union Pacific,
the -Southern Padflc. the Oregon Railroad

CHICAGO. March 9. The proposed
defense of the Otis Elevator Company
In the Federal Government's suit
against It for violations of the Sher
mnn anti-trust law was outlined yes
terday. It will be that a corporation
not n, common carrier may do Indirect
ly all the things wlilch the law In
tended to prevent in restraining trade,
fixing exorbitant rates and driving out
competition. Representatives of the
company maintained that If the
charges were true. It would still be
beyond the reach of, the anti-trust law.
The officials of the company may
admit that they have a monopoly of
thov elevator business." said Paul
Brown, of the law firm of Horton &
Brown, representing the elevator com
pany, "but this admission does not"
plnce them in violation of tiie Sher
man law. I can say nothing as to the
truth or falsity of these charges, ns
the company has not yet been notified
of the suit, but none of the accusations
in the ofilclal statement of Attorney
General Moody, even If true, would
make- It a violation of the law."
Mr. Moody's arraignment of the
company Includes charges of acquir
ing1 control of the businesses of com
petitors, bringing petty suits against
lndcpcndont firms to harass them, and
charging excessive and exorbitant
prices.
