occurred shortly after the taking of
q large stockade in the Bayan district.
The little fort, which was to cause us
so much loss, looked much like any
other Moro fort.
In q general way the fort was Il
square inclosure. The walls are Of
stone, earth and bamboo and about
twelve feet thick at the base. They
are some fourteen feet high.
These walls are covered with bam-
boo poles on the outside and also with
an immense ENHANCEMENT of thorny
brush both on the Sides and the top.
This brush made the Fort look easy to
take, as the stone walls did not show.
The walls of stone and loose earth
neatly and tightly piled and packed
have many portfolios and the fighting
Moro seemed to have a cannon or a
rife at every portfolio and their shoot
ing proved to be effective.
The Moro engineers had also con-
structed two trenches about the fort
of considerable depth. One trench was
crowded with desperate Moros who
had taken the oath of their tribe to

IN q recent test of accuracy in firing

In a recent test of accuracy in firing
torpedoes the vessels of the torpedo
boat flotilla in the North Atlantic
made some remarkable hits of a float
ing target 1000 yards away. AS each
hit would have meant utter destruc'
ton in time of actual war, the import
ance Of these wasps of the navy is be-
ing heralded abroad as valuable dis
covery. 1t is we'll to shoot straight,
of course, whether with popgun or
with automatic torpedoes, but the
main thing in these high explosive
days Is to get close enough to an en-
smy to lodge a shot. Long before any
torpedo boat could have approached

it would have been blown out OF the
