AMERICANS ATTACK PRINCIPAL
FORT AND CAPTURE 1T.
Eighty-Four Survivors of Sultan
6ayan Surrender Savage Natives
Are Completely Crushed and Taught
Lesson Of Practical Benefit.

Washington, May 5.-The war de-
partment received cablegram from
General Chaffee indicating that the
of the principal Moro chiefs, had been
completely successful. The result was
accomplished by gallant assault on
the principal Moro fort and its cap
ture after a number of the leading
.Moros had been killed. The cable
gram was as follows:
THE following is the full substance
of Brigadier General Davis message
from Bayan: Eighty-four survivors
of Bayan surrendered Internationally
this morning at z. Sultan Bayan,
Sultan Pandapanan and all leading
dattos dead and many of their follow

which surrendered last night, one of
the most gallant performances of
American arms. Cononel Frank D.
Baldwin and his regiment deserve all
praise for hand-to-hand struggle in
four lines of bitches under walls OF
fort. These trenches are lined with
Moro dead from rifle fire. Have never

my painful duty to report that the
overthrow of Moro power was not
accomplished without severe loss.
One officer and Z enlisted men killed;
four officers and 81 enlisted men
wounded. After "a survivors marched
out this morning as prisoners, and 1t
was understood they were all, eight
others who had concealed themselves
in rubbish inside the fort made a
break for liberty and tried to make
their way out, but none succeeded.
Some Moro wounded tried to stab SOL

Every spring and fall large numbers
of birds are killed by the Washington

Never Heard of Her,

On a crowded trolley car the othe1
morning two men were carrying on a
conversation between glances at their
respective newspapers. The older man
was commenting upon some incident
that had evidently occurred the even
ing previous, and his companion was
listening as attentively as he could and
study the market report in front of his
eyes.
THAT speech was worthy of Mrs.
Malaprop," said the dignified old gen.
tleman.
"Ah,' replied his companion, look
ing up with sudden interest. Is she a
friend of yours? Do know herr"
With peculiar expression on his
face the older glanced at the bland
youth as he answered.:
No; she's myth" Then he gave
his undivided attention to the newspa,

CHAPTER III.
Dick and Kate.

Fortunately, the doctor was a toler-
ably skillful surgeon, and the young
mans arm was soon bound up in
splints and carefully suspended in a
handkerchief.
He'll have fever-theres no doubt
Of that" said the doctor, when he came
down stairs; "but he seems a robust
fellow. His strength may take him
through easily. Who is he?"
Purcell looked at his daughter, as if
waiting for her to reply.
81 don't know" she said. "He seems
a stranger here. have not even
learned his name"
"Dic1 should know" said Purcell,
turning to Burt, who had returned
with the doctor.
Don't know, I'm sure, unless he's
some prince in disguise" was the
sneering response.
"At any rate, whoever he is, he can't
be moved from here at present" the
doctor said. It'll be some trouble to
you, Purcell"
Zone must be hospitable," was the
response.
And the doctor and Dick left the
house.
Rather odd about him, isn't it,"
said the doctor. who was something Of
a gossip. THE man seems to have
dropped from the clouds"
"Or come up from below" remarked
Dick
The doctor looked sharply at his
companion as he returned:
well, we shall find out who he is in
time. Meanwhile, he'll have capital
chance to become acquainted with Our
Lady of the Beach, That girl must be
an 'earl's daughter from the refined
gentleness of her bearing. The young
nan will see it, probably How much
will you bet, Burt, that this stranger
falls in love with Miss Purcell?"
81 don't know about his falling In
love with her; but I'll lay you hand
some sum that she never marries him,
if you like to bet in that way"
"Ah. hal the doctor laughed. l see
you know something of Kate Purcell's
heart. l suspected as much. Let us
hope, then. the young man will see no
beauty in the girl. But he must be a
flinty fellow if he is insensible to the
charms Of such a nurse as he will
have"
When Dick Burt left the doctor and
walked on alone, it was already cou-
pie of hours after sunrise; but he had
no mind to go to his lodging house for
breakfast He did not wish to see
anyone until he had gained more con-
troll OF the tempest of anger and
jealousy raging within him.
He walked on, without thought of
the direction in which he was going,
until he found he had approached the
spot where, few hours before, he had
found the stranger.
AS he became aware of the fact he
went to the spot and looked carefully
about him, with vague notion that

And you accepted him, of course?'
No"
Purcell sat down and leaned his faco
on his hand, not saying anything.
Kate moved softly to his side and
put one arm over his neck.
What is the matter, father? Did
you care that l cannot marry him?
Why do you wish it? You surely
would not have me marry man I
cannot love?"
Without raising his head, Purcell
said:
II could not ask that. but I have SO
prayed that you might like him"
Kate grew cold as she heard the
words. but she maintained an outward
composure.
Can you tell me why you wished
this? 1t is very strange to me. have
always wondered why you have chosen
him for companion. It is not from
mere curiosity that l should like to
know why you go away with him at
such strange times. For several months
back some cloud has hung over our
house. Who is responsible for this?
Is it not Richard Burt, and the strange
influence he has over you?'

frightened inquiry in his eyes.

THAT is very strange. l thought,
perhaps you might have met with
some reverse of fortune. and have
come here in consequence, not that

then, been out in the world?"
Kate smiled as she replied:

l have had glimpse of the beauties Of

She saw that it amused him to talk
with her, and she sat down by him.
The time would seem very long to him
before his arm could be set: she would
do what she could to make the NOM
ents more endurable.
There was something in the gentle
and unassuming simplicity Of her man.
ner that was very refreshing to him.
And it put him at his ease to see that
she treated him just the same as she
would have treated a strange lady,
who had been thus brought to the
house.

the lips, as she spoke so earnestly.

There was silence for while, dur

the little, unfinished room, and Won
dering how girl like this could be
even tolerably contented there.
Suddenly he asked:
Does your father think 1 shall be

HE fears you may have fever"

There was something boyish in his
words and manner-a kind of frank
ness, that was very winning.
Kate made some reply, and then he
said:
"Was that man who found me your
brother?"
There was something so penetrating
in his glance, as he asked this, that
Kate averted her eyes as she said:

"You called him Dick, noticed
"He is friend OF my father"
Somehow, the subject was very dis
agreeable to Kate. She felt that there
was almost impertinence in the strang-
er's questioning her thus, and in a mo-
ment she rose and left the room.
The man lay thinking of her.
Il hope that fellow is not her lover.
A coarse fellow-not half worthy of
her. Jove! it's not right for her to
marry that man; but she will, of
course, and he will drag her down to

He tried to while away the time in
recalling the quotation, but he wished
