SUPREME COURT SENDS BACK
TWO CASES.
c. A. Brown Wins His Appeal From
the Fourth Circuit In a Hilo Land
Case.

The Supreme Court today handed
down a decision i'm the two cases Of
Charles A. Brown VS.. j. d. Spreckels
and others, appealed from Judge Lit
ties order directing a non-suit. The
order is reversed in both cases and the
cases are remanded for a new trial.
The decision was reached sometime
ago and written by Chief Justice Frear.
Lyle A. Dickey sat in place of CAL
braith, disqualified, and as he has been
away on Maui, his signature could not
be obtained up to this time.

WAR WITH THE MOROS
CHAFFEE ANNOUNCES ACTION
NECESSARY.
Left To His Discretion-Natives In
Mindanao Renewing Their Attacks
Upon Outposts and Pack Trains.

WASHINGTON, August 1S.-A cable
dispatch has been received from Gen.
Chaffee, stating that in his judgment
an active campaign against the Moros
in Mindanao is necessary in order to
curb the opposition that has been
growing against the United States au-
thority. The dispatch was considered
of sufficient Importance to be repeated
to President Roosevelt at oyster Bay
Gen. Chaffee has been directed to use
his own discretion in the matter, and
will no doubt engage in an aggressive
movement against the insurgent Mo-
ros. Some time before Secretary Root
left Washington the Moro situation
was under consideration, and from a
dispatch then at hand the secretary
was of the opinion that the Moros must
be dealt with severely before they
would respect the authority of the
United States.
Gen. Chaffee is now in Mindanao
having left Manila some days ago. If
the campaign should continue for some
time he no doubt will remain in the
Philippines instead of leaving on Sep
TENDER 80, as he had planned. II is I'M
derstood at the war department that
Gen. Chaffee has sufficient troops to
make an active campaign.
MANILA, August 1S.-The Moros in
Mindanao are renewing their attacks
upon the outpost and pack trains of
the American column at Lake Lanao,
which is under the command of Capt.
j. j. Pershing, of the Fifteenth Caval-
ry. The Americans have successfully
repulsed the Moro attacks, and have
suffered no losses.
The commanders of the American
forces in Mindanao report aggressive
action against the Moros to be neces-
sary and ask permission to move
against Bacolor and other strongholds
of the hostile Mohammedans. There
are about 1000 American soldiers in
Mindanao. 1t is believed this number
is sufficient to defeat the Moros, al
though it would possibly be necessary
to strengthen their base before under
taking the movement.
