J' -1 j?.$ LED INTO AMBUSH MAJOR SCOTT DECEIVED BY MORO LEADER IIASSEN. Three llundrel Natives Killed Major Scott and Plvo Private! Wounded on the American Side-Forces Under Oeneral Wood Completely Rout Rebels Further Uprising Not Probable, Manilla, Nov. 25. Threo bundled Mores are known to havo been killed and many others wore carried off dead or wounded, as n result of five days' se vere fighting in Jolo between thoAmerl can troops under General Leonard Wood and tho insurgents. Major II. L. Scott, of the fourteenth cavalry, and five American privates wore wounded. General Wood landed near Stet Lake, in Jolo, November 12. Tho Moros were soon located, and lighting began immediately and continued until No vember 1 1 . Major Scott was taking Panglinm Han sen, theMoro leader, who had been tak en prisoner, to Jolo. Whilo en route, Hasten asked to bo allowed to seo his family. His appeal was granted, and ho thereupon led Major Scott into an ambush, where tho American ife tacit- ment was fired upon. Major. Scott was shot in both hands. Hassen succeeded in escaping during this unexpected at tack, but is supposed to have been killed tho following day. The fighting took plica in a country covered with swamps and rocks. Tho Moroa were driven across tho country from Sict Lake to tho town which lias sen had made his headquarters, and where it was reported the Moros were 2,000 strong. Tho rebel position was attacked in the flank by the American troops, who occupied the town and inflicted a Iocs of 60 killed on the Moros' side. Has pen with a small party, was sur rounded. Tho rest of tho Moros went into the swamps out of which they were driven on November 10, leaving 7G dead behind them. On November 17 tho American forces renewed the at tack on tho retreating Moros, of whom 40 mora were killed. Tho rebel forces have been literally destroyed by these operations. Gen eral Wood says the indications are that there will bo no extension of tho upris ing which was bandied without diffi culty. On November 18 General Wood started on an expedition against a body of 2,000 Moros who are in the moun tains back of Tablibi. No news has yet been received as to the result of this movement STONUS PILL Tllll AIR. Chicago Street Car Strikers nnd the Po lice Ungage In Battle. Chicago, Nov. 2(1. Fierce lighting, in which tho police used their clubs freely nnd t'wlco their revolvers, marked the opening of tho Statu street cable line by the Chicago City railway yesterday. As far as can bo ascer tained, nobody was seriously injured, although there were many' broken heads among tho rioters who vnnio in contact with tho clubs of tho police. While the fighting was going on In tho streets, tho usual conferences were in progress nnd propositions and counter propositions were passing back and forth. Late in tho afternoon, it was said by Mayor Harrison, President Mahon, of tho street car men, nnd the attorneys for both sides, that on agree ment had been reached, but little defi nite information was known concerning its nature. All day long on State street tho com pany was hampered by the work of tho mob, which piled obstructions upon the tracks, drove pegti nnd spikes into the cable slot und cut trolley w Ire In many places. Tho Archer nvcnuo line was badly damaged earlier in tho day and required several hours' work by a strong forvo of Tepnlr men, who were heavily guarded by the police. No at tempt has been made to run curs on this line since thu commencement of the strike. In policing the four branches opened last week, as woll as tho State street line, patrolmen were stationed only at street intersections, except where trouble was most likely to occur. Fewer policemen were detailed to ridu on tho stlreet cars yesterday than 'dur ing last week. Five trains were put into operation on tho Stato street cable line. After removing spikes from tho cable slots at Fifty-seventh and Hfty-flrat streets, tho first train was blocked at Forty-first street by iron rails placed across the tracks.

Regarded as Significant. London, Nov. 20 The "alarming re port from Tokio that Japanese war ves sels have been dispatched to intercept 1 two Russian warships cannot bo- con firmed here. I It is possiblo this report is connected with the statement of the Japanese Journal, the Nagasaki Shimpo, which announced yesterday that a Japanese squadron of 12 vessels had left Sasebo for an unknown destination. Tho fact that sucli a statement should bo issued by the Russian semi-official STATU WILL LOSU HUAVILY. It Rejection of Claim to Swamp Land Is Affirmed. Salem The rejection of the claim of tho atato of On-iron to 55,000 acres of tho swamp land In Klamath marsh will, If Blllrmed by the scerotnry of the Interior, cut a big slice off tho turn thu stato hoped to reallie from tho sale of this land. Tho state's claim was for 100,000 acres, and of this all but about 7,000 acres had been declared by tho surveyor-general to bo swamp laud. Tim state's claim was based tiou tho swamp laud grunt of 1800. Thu Klam nth Indian recervutlou was created in 1804 und the alottmenta to tho Indians were made within tho last ten years. The 65,000 acres probably comprises tho liest of the swamp lands and if the titlo of thu Indians should Ik) finally confirmed, the remaining !I8,000 acres which the stato would receive, would be rendored practically worthier. Whether an appeal will bo taken to tho secretary of tho Interior has not been determined. General W. II, Odell was attorney for tho stato in tho pre sentation of tho "tale's claim to thin land, llo docs not know tho grounds upon which the decision of tho assist ant commissioner of tho general land olllco was bafed, but is very firmly of tho opinion that the state's right to the land js superior to that of tho Indians. The value of the swamp lands on Klamath marsh has been estimated nil tho way from 1100,000 to f 1,000,000 NI1C115SARY MONIJY PUT UP.
