General Chaffee has decided to shorten
his trip to the southern isianos, and re-
turn TO Manila direct An order received
from the war department at Washing
ton leaving action in the Moro situation
to General Chaffee's discretion, has been
transmitted to him In the south, but
has probably not yet reached him.
1t is believed here that General Chat
fee will increase the American forces on
Mindanao and issue an ultimatum to the
hostile Moros. There are at present 1000
troops in the Philippine Islands, a goodly
portion of which could be spared for ac-
tive service.
Capt. John J. Pershing of the Fifteenth

reported a fierce Moro inter- tribal fight
near Camp Viclkers, Mindanao. The con-

many others were wounded. No Ameri-

The entire Chattanooga team played
good ball, Gilligan's error in the first
inning being of the excusable variety
and his double play in the fifth, in which
he was unassisted was of the hair raising
order. Big Ike Durrett played a great
game In the field having four chances
which he easily accepted, one of them
after a hard forward run, getting the
ball but few inches from the ground
and making one assist in catching Frank
Smith at the plate.

to third on a passed ball and scored on
