THREAT AT u.OILO.
TIE SULU ARCHIPELAGO.
Characteristics of Its PeOplc-N NJ
We Garrison Its Capital.

WASHINGTON, May 2O.-The Sulu
group OF islands to the capital Of when,
Jolo. General OTIS has sent two bait
talons Of the Twenty-third Infantry, IS
the most southerly group OF the Philip
pine archipelago and Is inhabited by the
most warlike people in the Philippines.
Although there are over 80 small Islands
in the Sulu group, the Spaniards have
never been able to exercise more than
nominal sovereignty there, and, in fact.
were never able to maintain a garrison,
cxcept at Jolo. That garrison gave them
but a footing Oh that island and since
1916 when they destroyed the residence
of the ieigning Sultan, they have lived
with the natives under an armed truce.
The Sultan still reigned under the PRO
lection" OF Spain.
PROBABLY NO SPANISH GARRISON.
There is no information at the War
Department as to whether there IS a
Spanish garrison quartered at Jolo still,
but as ii Is known that most Of the
Spanish garsons in the southern por-
ton of the archipelago were concentrated
at Zamboanga, on the Island of Min
danao. the suppostion is that the Ameri-
can troops. upon their arrival. will find
Jolo minus any garrison Whatever.
it IS presumed that the object of the
government in sending garrison there
IS TO serve notice upon the world that
the United States claims sovereignty
over this group OF islands. upon which,
from time to time. 1t has been reported
other nations had designs.
PEOPLE BORN WARRIORS.
The natives Of the Sulu Islands are
called Moros. and originally came from
Borneo. They are born warriors, are
Mohammedans. polygamists and slave
owners They disdain work. and expect
their wants to be supplied by their wives
and slaves. After their wild tribal bat
Ties. or their combats with Christians
the conquerors kill the men, the women
arc taken to enrich the seraglos of the
yictors, and the children are sold as
slaves. In battle they seek to terrify
their opponents by making hideous faces.
Like the Dervishes. whom the BRUSH
have been fighting in the Soudan, the
Moros are upboyne in battle by religious
fanaticism. and cut and Stay until they
expire. They never ask or give quarter,
and are treacherous 10 degree.
