Dattos were killed in the engagement.
The assault on the principal fort,
reports General Davis, was one of the
most gallant performances under
American arms in the Philippines
and the regiment of Lieut.. Col. Frank
d, Baldwin, the Fourth Infantry, de-
serves the greatest credit for its con-
duct. The men Of the Fourth in
fantry had hand to hand struggle
with the Moros in the four lines of
bitches under the walls of the fort.
When the position was completed
these bitches were found to be lined
with Moro dead Gen. Davis charac-
terizes the rife fire of the Americans
as excellent and says he never witness
ed a performance excelling the capture
OF the Moro fort in gallantry and grit.
Gen. Davis says it is his painful
duty to announce that the overthrow
OF Moro power was not accomplished
without severe loss to the Americans.
One officer and seven enlisted men
were killed, while four officers and
thirty-nine enlisted men were wound
ed. The list will be cabled later.
