officers-Long List Of Casualties.
Manila, May 6.-Eighty-fonr Moro
prisoners under guard made an at
tempt to escape yesterday. At a pre-
concerted signal they got between
the soldiers forming the guard and
company at dinner. The latter, real
izing what had happened, fired en-
and pursued the Moros, killing S5 Of
them and capturing nine. The other
fugitives escaped.
It is thought the one chance Of saw
ing the life of Captain Moore, OF the
Twenty-seventh infantry, who was
wounded during the recent fighting
with the Moros, in the island of Min
danao, is by trepanning a portion OF
his skull resting on the brain.
The body Of Second Lieutenant
Thomas A. Vickers, Of the Twenty
first infantry, has been temporarily
buried at Malabang.
Hopes are still entertained Of saw
ing the lives Of the other wounded
American officers.
A soldier has died Of cholera on
board the United States transport
Warren, in quarantine here. Her
crew and passengers have been land
ed by the United States steamer
Meriveles. The Warren will be fumi-
gated and undergo another five days
in quarantine.
