SECOND MoRos' FORT TAKEN.
Gen. Davis Reports Bloody Engage
ment on Saturday.

A dispatch from Manila yesterday says:
Gen. Davis, the commander of the Amer
lean forces in the Island of Mindanao,
cables that the eighty-four Moros who sur
vived the attack and capture of the Moro
fort by American soldiers In Mindanao yes
terday have surrendered, and that the Sui
tan of Bayan, Ratah Muda, Sultan Panda
Padto and a number Of the leading dattos
were killed in the engagement
The assault on the principal fort, reports
Gen. Davis, was one of the most gallant
performances of American arms in the
Philippines. and the regiment Of Lieut..
Col. Frank D. Baldwin, the 4th Infantry,
deserves the greatest credit for it's conduct.
The men Of the 4th had a hand-to-hand
struggle with the Moros in the four lines of
bitches under the walls of the fort. When
the position was captured these bitches
were found to be lined with Moro dead.
Gen. Davis characterizes the rife fire of
the Americans as excellent, and says he
has never witnessed performance eXceii-
ing the capture of the Moro fort in gal
lantry and grit
Gen. Davis says also it Is his painful duty
to announce that the overthrow of Moro
power was not accomplished without Sc
we're loss to the Americans. One officer and
seven enlisted men were killed. while four
officers and thirty-nine enlisted men were
wounded.
After the eighty-four Moros who survived
the assault had marched out of the fort
eight others, who were concealed there,
made an unsuccessful break for liberty.
Some of the Moro wounded tried to stab the
American soldiers who were succoring
them. 1t is impossible to give the total Of
Moro dead, as a number of them are lying
in the tall grass. The fort was defended
by 300 men. Its capture saves siege, and
it would have been impossible to carry the
position without scaling ladders.
Gen. Davis further reports his intention of
retaining his prisoners until the few ada
cent Moro forts are occupied. Then with
the consent of Gen. Chaffee, he will retain
ten of his principal captives as hostages
and release the others.
The American forces who attacked the
fort numbered 410 men and four mountain
guns. 1t rained hard during the night pre-
ceding the attack, and the men were with
out blankets. The battery fired 120 rounds
at a range of 400 yards.
Gen. Davis adds that he Is sending the
dead to Malabans for burial. He intends
to invite the Sultan of Tarace to inter
view. His fort is the same strength as
Bayan, the one captured yesterday. Gen.
Davis is urging the people to return to the
cutivatio of rice.
Lieut.. Bovars of the 9th Infantry was
killed in the engagement at the fort. Capt.
Moore of the same regiment was mortally
wounded; Surgeon Porter and Lieut.. Henry
S. Wagner of the 14th Infantry and Lieut..
Jossman of the 9th Infantry We're Sc
verely wounded.

Hsion between an emigrant train and a fast
freight near lockwood, on the Connells-

Italian immigrants

grant train; married and lives at Cumber-

WHY SENATORS CHEW.
Rule Against Smoking is Enforced by
Common Consent.

Visitors in the galleries of the Senate
often notice senators on the floor engaged
in masticatng with the slow deliberation
that characterizes the user OF tobacco or
gum. Up to the present time 1T has not
been developed that any of the senators use
gum, though number of them habituaily
chew the weed. This habit has been made
more general on the part of many senators
who were inveterate smokers when they
came here and who found So many rules
against the smoking of tobacco at the Cap
itol Of course, the cloak rooms and COM
mittee rooms are at all times available for
smoking, but it freueqntly happens that
certain senator's wishing to follow the de-
bate in the Senate chamber, and missing
their cigar, get in the habit Of slowing
away a small piece of the weed for chewing
purposes where they can use 1t Sdbsti-
tute for the cigar. The rules against smok-
ing about the Senate in their application
to senators are peculiar. They are enforced
by common consent. If a senator is seen
violating an established rule made by the
commit ee on rules he may be reminded Of
that fact as if he had unconsciously vio-
lated it, which is generally the case. But
the gentle reminder Is the only method for
enforcing the rules that is ever used The
Senate proceeds on the principle that gem
tlemen will obey suchtrules Of its own body
without further effort than to suggest that
they exist. The thorough: way in which the
rules are respected shows that their conf
dence is not violated. IL

GOULD GIVES ASSURANCE.
Baltimore to Remain Terminus of tn,
Western Maryland.

A dispatch from Baltimore. Nd. yes
terday says: Mayor Hayes today received
letter from George ]. Gould. in which
he places himself squarely behind the Full
Ter syndicate, and pledges the faith of him
self the Wabash, Wheeling and Lake Erie
and West Virginia Central lines to perform
the things the Fuller syndicate has prom
ised the people of Baltimore, and which
constitute the grounds upon which they
urge acceptance of their bid for the citys
interest in the Western Maryland railroad.
This letter 1t is believed will remove all
objection TO the Fuller sale ordinance
and it is expected that the second branch
of the city council will pass the measure
tomorrow night. 1t has already passed
the first branch. The letter follows:
NEW YORK. May >. 1902
Hon. Thomas q. Hayes Mayor of Balu-
more, Md:
Dear Sir: In view of newspaper reports
attributing to me large accumulations of
Reading steck, and in view also of doubts
which seem to exist to my own attitude
and that Of the Wabash Railroad Company
as to the purchase and use of the Western
Maryland railroad. l write TO say:
First. That neither L nor my associated
interests have had any part in any pur-
chases or accommodations of Reading stock
and the newspaper reports referred to are
wholly erroneous.
Second. My own attitude and that of the
Wabash company to the proposed purchase
of the Western Maryland railroad is as
stated by Mr.. Ramsay, Col. Herrick and
Mr.. Pierce, namely, that the road is de-
sired if 1t can be bought at the price pro-
posed, in order that it may be used as an
outlet, with terminal at Baltimore. of
the West Virginia Central the Wheeling
and Lake Erie and the Wabash systems.
l Communicate with you in this way. not
for the purpose of influencing the decision
of Baltimore in the sale of its interest
but in order that its decision shall not have
been reached under misapprehension of
facts or purpose. / am, very respectfully,
GEORGE J. GOULD.

characteristics of Cities.

What distinctive chara eteristic may be
looked for in large cities was strikinsly set
forth by Representative Henry c. Smith of
Michigan while he was trying to impress
on the House the necessity for an appro-
priation for good roads the other day. He
had read a report from the Department of
Agriculture. in which it was stated that
the whole country had been aroused to the
necessity for good roads. When Mr.. Wads-
worth interrupted to ask what there was
further to do If the whole country was
aroused. Mr.. Lessler of New York inter-
jected, Get the money.
These New Workers always think of the
money cont tinued Mr.. Smith. In Boston
they ask where you were educated: in Phil
adelphia. where you were born: in New
York, what can I do for you; in Chicago,
what can you do for me?"
Mr.. Lessler-"And in Michigan, what can
you do for the beet ?"

the average showing that Owosso people
have sent away much more money for
purchases and presents than they have
been receiving
To handle the large amount Of extra
mail matter promptly has meant no
small degree of extra work on the part
of the post Office force. Two substitute
carriers have been employed for period
of seven days in the aggregate and the
substitute clerk has been employed for
five days The other clerks have also
put in longer hours than usual and
while the carriers are not permitted by
the law to do so their work has kept
them busy to the full limit of the time
allowed. With the help of the substi-
tutes they have succeeded in delivering
practically every piece of mail which
came into the Office before the time for
them to leave on their last trip for the
day, on the same day in which it came
into the Office. When the Office closed
for the day at twelve o'clock Christmas
noon practically every package which
had reached the Office up to eight o'clock
that morning had been delivered as we'll
as considerable number which arrived
during the morning on later mails. At
a time of year when express companies
and railway companies all find difficulty
in handling the increased amount of
merchandise the force at the Owosso
office naturally feels well pleased at be.
ing able to give as prompt and consEiete
service as was given this week in spite
of the excessive amount of mail handled.
The delay in receiving mails from the
railway postal clerks has also been
much less than that complained OF in
many places by the express officials and
shows that the railway postal service on
the lines running through Owosso has
been of the best The week has beeg lp
every way the biggest in the history of
the Office and those connected with the
Owosso Office have been pleased to note
the appreciation which has been shown
by the patrons Of the Office over the kind
of service given during the week.

Christmas Week at the Post Office

The present week at the Owosso post
Office has been the biggest in the history
of the Office. The receipts for postage,
stamps and cards, envelopes ETC., for the
three days preceding Christmas were
forty per cent larger than those for the
corresponding days last year which
means corresponding increase in the
amount of mail matter, number of pack
ages, etc, sent out from the Owosso
Office. No exact record is kept of pack
ages received OF sent by the ordinary
mails but the number of registered
packages received at the Office for de-
livery and the number received for
dispatch was almost exactly the same
which would be good proof, if any were
needed, that the number of packages re-
ceived at this Office for delivery here in
creased in the same proportion that the
outgoing packages increased. The mum
