SURPRISED THE M0ROS.
Chief Demanded Paw for His Dead Wis.,
crPants, ba; Did Not Get IL,

From the Manila Freedom March :
Shortly after the killing of the ten Moro
prisoners at West Bongao for refusing
to work and attempting to escape. the
NADIA, or secretary of the Sultan who rules
in that province. appeared at the head
quarters of Maj. Sweet. at Jolo, and de-
manded the payment of 100 pesos each for
the death of he Moros
The major was very much surprised by
this turn Of affairs. but he cleverly check
mated the move by also demanding SID
for his soldiers who were so cruelty butch
cred while exploring the country some
twenty miles beyond the city, and well
within the Sultan's territory. II was a
sumner for the Swarthy diplomat He
had never seen the matter I'm that light
before. and after several minutes of pro-
found thought and contemplation decided
TO Withdraw and carry the message to his
war-like master. Relations are somewhat
strained ever the incident and il Is
thought that the MorOs will endeavOr to
even up the score
The crime was committed but a short
time ago. sergeant and two priVateS
of II Company, Twenty-third Infantry,
went out into the country twenty-five
miles, near the town of BdnCao. Two Of
them were resting beneath the shade OF a
tree playing cards. while the third had
removed HIS clothes and was bathing in
stream near by. when a party of Moros
armed with spears and bolOs surprised
and killed the two. The swimmer effected
his escape, naked as he was, by hiding
and working his way through thorns and
priCkly brush TO JOlO. A detachment was
sent to the scene of the murder and round
ed up ten of the savaGes VINO had been
connected with the affair. They were
confined over night. and the following day
a guard was detailed to take them into
the street of the town to work. They
sulleny refused 10 move. and taking adj
vantage Of the fact that the guard was
small at 2 signal from their leader they
separated and broke for the woods.
1t was a foolish act. for the men be
hind the guns moved them down long
before they were able TO gain the cover
OF the forest
The Americans thought that the cut
thrOats were a part Of the rObber hands
Notwithstanding to the definition Of
their own dato-and they were consequent
~ surprised 10 hear that the chief wanted
a thousand pesos for the killing Of the
gang.
No doubt but what the rebel tax gather
ers have left the country poor and the
chief is looking for new way to re-
DleniSh his treasury.
