VIGOROUS DENIAL.
Chairman Osgood Says He is Not
Short on C. 81

Denver, June 27-Mr. J. c. Osgood,
CHAIRMAN Of the board of directors of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company today
made the following statement for publ
cation:
I'm view of the false and malicious
statements which have recently been pub
lished 20 the effect that I am short of
Colorado Fuel and Iron common stock
and have advocated the suspension of div
idends for stock jobbing purposes. I state
most emphaticaily that I have not sold a
share OF stock short. have not directly
or indirectly sold a share of stock for the
last go days and the stock I sold prior to
that time was for the purpose of rein
vesting in the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company's 5 per cent debentures.
THE statement that there was a gen
tleman's' or any other kind of agreement
to pay dividends for another year is as
false as it is ridiculous I have purpOsely
refrained from discussing the matter of
payment or non-payment of the common
stock dividend, leaving it for discussion,
and action by the board of directors"

RATES TO GO HIGHER.
Ocean Freights Are About to Be
Advanced.

New York. June PA decided differ
ence of opinion that promises to de-
velop into open warfare may be said to
exist between steamship interests at
New York and those at the outports III
regard to the working of the recent
modification of the freight rate pool,
says the Journal of Commerce. This
modification provided for charging u
higher rate at the outports than at
New York, a rate sufficient to counter
act the lower railroad rates from the
interior enjoyed by the Outports.
A rumor is current that a substantial
increase in ocean freight rates is in
process of negotiation, but whether the
present agreement will hold together
until the new one is promulgated is a
matter on which considerable doubt is
expressed in local freight circles. The
chief trouble seems to be what may be
termed the complete absence OF faith
entertained by the lines of any port in
regard to the honest observance of the
terms of the agreement by lines Of all
other ports.

TOOK MORO FORT
GALLANT ASSAULTIBY AMERICAN
TROOPS AT BAYAN.
All the Leading Chiefs. Including Two Sultans.
Killed. and the Balance Of Moros In the
Fort Captursd-Succsss Not Affirmed
Without Considerable Loss TO American
Troops.

Washington, May 5,-'rhe war depart
ment received Il cablegram from Gen.
Chnffee indicating the campaign against
Sultan Bavan, one of the principal Moro
chiefs, had been completely successful.
The result was accomplished by a gallant
assault on the principal Moro fort and
it's capture after u number of the leading
Moros had been killed. The cabcpram,
which was received this afternoon, was
NJ follows:
"Adjt. Gen, Washington. Following
is the full substance of Brig Gen. George

"Eighty-four survivors Bayan surren.
dered Internationally this morning Mt :
o'clock. Sultan Bayan, Raja Munda
Bayan. Sultan Pandapatan and all lead
ing dattos dead and many of their fol-
lowers. Assault on the principal fort,
which surrendered last night, one of the
most gallant performances of American
arms. Col. Frank u. Baldwin and his
regiment deserve all praise for hand.to-
hand struggle in four lines of bitches

lined with Moro dead from rifle fire.
Have never seen or heard of any per-
Torrance exceling this gallaut fight.
Americans Suffer Loss.
sit is my painful duty to report that
the overthrow of Moro power was not
accomplished without severe loss. One
officer and seven enlisted men killed ;
four officers and 30 enlisted men wounded.
Will telegraph list later After 81 sur
vivors marched out this morning as
prisoners, and it was understood they
were all, eight others, who had con.
cealed themselves in rubbish inside the
fort, made Il break for liberty, but did
not succeed. Some Moro wounded tried
to stab soldiers trying to help them. 1t
is impossible to state the number of
Moros killed many lying in tall grass. The
surrender saves us from siege and starv-
ing out. Impossible to have carried works
without scaling ladders, which were
ready. Intend to retain prisoners until
two or three adjacent forts occupied
then will consent to retain as hostages
eight or ten of the principals and release
the others. The forces in line of ad-
vance consisted of four mountain guns,
40 rifles. This fully sufficient. Could
not have used more men advantageously.
Had we sent strong column it would
only have swelled the casualty list.

ANSWER IN MERGER
Defendants in Case of United States
vs.. Securities Co., Tell
Their Story.

St. Paul, Mimi, May 6.-An enterprise
in aid of great competitive interstate
and international commerce, is the de-
scription of the Northern Securities Corn
pany given in the answer filed by the
attorneys for that corporation in the suit
brought by Attorney General KnsX on
behalf of the United States to en- join the
so.called merger of the Northern Pacific
and the Great Northern railways. This
answer was filed late Yesterday afternoon
in the United States circuit court in this
city, and at the same time individual an
swers were filed by James j. Hill. W. p.
Clough, d. Willis James, John S. Ken
needy, George +. Baker and the Great
Northern railway, and by j. p. Morgan,
Robert Bacon. Daniel S. Lamont and the
Northern Pacific railway.
Papers Are Similar.
The various papers follow the same
lines. The answer of the Northern Sc
curities Company is divided into two
parts. The first is largely denial OF
the petition as respecting any charge OF
conspiracy, and as respecting the pur-
poses of the organization of the Securi-
ties company. Instead OF owning a ma
jority OF the al ares of the Great North
ern or Northern Pacific companies, it is
stated that those who are interested in
the organization company do not own
within $40, 000,00 of majority of the
Great Northern shares and little more
than one. quarter of the Northern Pacific.
The second part OF the answer deals
with the purchase of the Burlington.
The competitive nature of this road is
denied. and the reason for the purchase.
in brief, is said to be for the purpose of
entering better market in the East for
products from the far West than either
the Great Northern or Northern Pacific
at the time of the purchase possessed.
