EXPEDITION AGAINST MOROS.
President Allows chaffee Discretion
as to One, if Neeotia-
tons Fail.

Washington, April 24.-The war de-
partment yesterday made public the
telegraphic cable correspondence
which had taken place up to that
date respecting the Moro outbreak in
Mindanao.
The correspondence begins with
the cablegram given out last week,
dated Manila, April Is, in which Gen
eral Ghaffee recites the killing of the
first American soldier, near Malabang,
and the forming of an expedition I'M
der Baldwin to arrest the murderers.
An order went forward, dated April
20, to hold expedition until he heard
from Washington, but continue prep
arations.
On April % message was sent to
Chaffee, in part, that the president
was anxious that no expedition be
sent until efforts by negotiation were
exhausted. He desired him to confer
freely with the acting civil governor.
If expedition was sent he suggested
that General Davis take immediate
command.
Another message, sent April %, in
part, contained suggestion of the
president that the friendly Dattos
might induce surrender of Moro MUIR
derers
General Chaffee responded to the
last cablegram by the dispatch given
out at the White House Tuesday and
published Wednesday morning, stat
ing that to withdraw all the American
forces would ruin our prestige; to
withdraw part Of the force would be
dangerous.
To this statement the following re.
Spouse was made yesterday:
Washington, April %.
"Chaffee, Manila
Your cable of yesterday has been
submitted by the acting secretary of
war to the president who directs that
you keep in mind the presidents or
ders, but, of course, do nothing that
will impair our prestige or in any
other way imperil the army If after
the expiration of the time named in
your proclamation, and after all pos
sible diplomatic and friendly methods
have been exhausted, your demand
for the Moro murderers has not been
met, you will act upon the lines that
in your judgment will best serve to
bring about peace and order in the
island Of Mindanao

TO A HIGHER COURT
May William Mitchell be Called Soon
The Wretched Prisoner Cannot Long
Survive Disease and Mental Disor.
ders-Death is Expected Hourly.

William F. Mitchell, co.ored, the
condemned prisoner who was to have
been executed on April II, is lying
at deaths door in the penitentiary
and no doubt it will be but a few
hours before the news announcing
his demise will be received.
The crime for which Mitchell was
como emned was criminal assault on
a woman of Wheeling and execution
was set for April IL, but he was the
recipient of a respite which will soon
terminate. However, it is probable
that he will not survive.
HAS VIOLENT ATTACKS.
For some time past Mitchell has
been subject to violent attacks
caused by lung trouble, TO which he
was subjected, and recently through
partial worry and illness he has
completely broken down in health
rendering him utterly helpless.
Every preeaution has been taken
and every means resorted to by the
officials to make his position as com
Portable as possible, but despite
their efforts he always remains in
the same condition and will no doubt
expire within the course of a few
hours. The prisoner is in a sta6e of
physical and mental collapse.

Brownsville Paper Delighted With
Work of Orchestra from Morgntown.

Last week a big minstrel show at
Brownsville was given by the Elks of
that place. A number OF Morgan
town people assisted in the entertain
ment. Speaking of them the Mont
tor has the following to say:
Mr.. John T. Hoffman in his whist
ling solo, and his limitations of birds
and beasts as well with his slide
trombone took the audience by storm.
Mr.. Hoffman is professional and
deserves the title.
Too much cannot be said OF the
Morgantown orchestra which furnish
ed the music. Every member is an
expert and Miss Bessie Douthat the
Pianist deserves special mention.
Her time was perfect, her touch deli
cate though positive, in fact every
motion is musical rythm.

UNFOUNDED SCARE.
But three cases of scarlet fevet
in Morgantown.

W nat ana Where ineSe cases afe-PhT.
sicians dissiDate the scare which has
resulted in closing the public schools
Work will shortly be resumed.
The New DOMINION is able to state
that there are three cases OF scarlet
fever in the city limits Of Morgantown
Miss Potts in the City Hospital, a
Wells child on Wiles Hill and Gail
Mclaughlin daughter OF John Nc
Laughlin OF Greenmont are the three.
The first two are under the care OF DIR.
S. S. Wade and the last one is being
looked after by DR.. Fitch
All the physicians of town were seen
by this paper today and asked about
the cases Of the diseaee which they
were treating. Drs. McLane, Cox,
Brown, Brock, Bush, Gibbons, Hartis
gan, Kelly, Casselberry, Warren, JOS
eph, Gardner, and Sivey reported that
they had not single case under their
care. All those who have been sick
have recovered.
Each Of the physicians asked about
it stated that there was absolutely no
fear of an outbreak and that the re-
ports in circulation about number
of cases having appeared were ineor-
rect.
1t has been reported persistently
that there were score of patients
afflicted with the disease. The inves-
LEGATION set on foot by this paper
shows that these reports are absolute.
ly without foundation and that the
outbreak is not one that is worthy of
notice.
The authorities of the Public school
state that there is no reason why the
school should be closed on account of
any fear of scarlet fever and think
that the institution should resume OBJ
erations. 1t is very probable that this
will be done shortly.
Should any new cases develop this
paper will inform its readers but in
the meantime there is nc cause for
alarm ana no reason why there should
be any thing done except to be care
fal Of the places where the malady
has really appeared.
