CAPTURE MORO FORTS.
Captain Pershing Make. successfuI
Assaults ON the Enemy.

Manila October 1.-The Maciu Moros,
in Mindanao. have offered but slight re-
sistance to the column under Captain
Pershing of the Fifteenth Cavalry.
After a series OF skirmishes on Mon
day and Tuesday OF this week, the
Moros retreated into six forts on the
shores of the lake. When 4 courier
left Maciu yesterday for Camp Vicarg,
Captain Pershing was preparing TO as
sault the last Moro stronghold.
The American column reached the
former camp at Macfu Sunday nisht.
On Monday the Moros opened IRE on
them with "A brass cannon anG rifles
from a series OF new forts which had
been erected since Captain Pershing's
first visit 30 the place. The battery
under Captain William 6 McNair,
scaled ridge commanding the posi-
ton of the Moros and shelled them out.
The engineers under Captain Jay J.
Morrow hod constructed a trail over
the swamp. fankIng the Moro position
The men OF Captain Pershing's column
crossed the swamp by the trail and
captured and destroyed three OF the
Moro forts. The Moros stood but a
snort while, and ran az soon as the
artillery opened on them.
Captain Pershing has been ordered
10 destroy the forts unleSs the MoroS
make peace. Twenty Moros were killed
and many were wounded. There were
no casualties among the Americans.

OF Pennsylvania. Senator Platt, OF
New York, and Governor Stone, of
Pennsylvania, have been pointed out as
a verification of the claim of the op-
orators. All this they have asserted,
is due to the sentiment which was made
in 1900.
All these various questions nave been
discussed during the past few days, to-
gether with the legal situation and the
power of the Federal administration in
the premises and the conclusion was
reached that the presida.t could 10
more by bringing the interested par
ties together than in any other way.
There will be no one present at Fri
days meeting at the temporary White
House, but the principals. 1t IS true
that Friday is cabinet day and that at
IL o'clock the hour appointed in the in
vitations for the meeting Of the coal
magnates, is the usual hour OF assem-
bling of the cabinet but according to
the present understanding the cabinet
meeting will be postponed. The pur-
pose Of the postponement is plainly 10
relieve the invited guests from the
feeling of reserve that might naturally
be created if they appeared before the
entire cabinet, including some exceed
ingly clever lawyers, whom the coal
people might not care to meet in a
business way in the absence of their
own legal advisors. So, the absence
of the cabinet will give the president
an opportunity TO do just what he
kants-namely, to have a good heart
to heart talk with the operators and
Mr.. Mitchell, to induce Their. ID talk 10
each other freely anG to reason quietly
and soberly and finally 10 agree il pos
Sible, to make concessions on each side
which will terminate the strike. And.
alta last, if this last object cannot De
directly attained, it is hoped that the
foundations may be laid for IN agree
ment IN the near future, perhaps an
agreement between the principals, TO
have further meetings and perhaps tc
refer open issues between them to third
parties.
1t is stated positively that the presi-
dent has no assurances from either
side which formed the basis of mis- call
for this meeting. But, when Secretary
Root was in New York yesterday and
the night preceding, he saw one, al
/ least, of the coal presidents whose
name appears in todays list of invita-
tions. 1t was stated that the meeting
was a casual one, AID no statement
could be extracted touching the per
sonality of the other great forces that
are operating in this strike, who might
have been seen by the war secretary
in his peace mission. Other great
financial forces, than Mr.. Morgan
! competent to exercise a tremendously
powerful, but secret pressure upon CO.
operations, exists in New York and i
| is surmiSed that with some Of theS:
| the secretary, not unacquainted in ;
