Report of Pershing's Campaign.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-The following
account Of Captain Pershing's expedition
against the Moros has reached the War
Department. by cable from General Davis,
at Manila:
General Sumner, from Vicar, reports as
follows on events up to Sept. rs:
Captain Pershing and Capt. Ell Hell
mickS columns fired into nearly every cot
ia tsmall native forts in Maciu.) The places
were captured and destroyed. Some were
very strong, but our Bursting shells demon
allied and put the hostiles to flight. 1t is
evident they do not intend TO be cooped up
as they We're at Bayan- (This is the place
where Captain Pershing first defeated the
Moros in their forts.) One of the Sultans
of Maciu and forty or fifty Moros were
killed and two lantakas (smaI brass swivel
cannon) and some rifles were captured.
Two enlisted men were slightly wounded.
No property or goods destroyed except such
as were found in captured forts. / am
hoping that there has been a lesson that
will be beneficial to the Moros. / will try
to communicate with Bacolod and others
who have defied US. No opportunity will
be missed to impress them with the fact
that we can live in perfect peace with them
If they Will deSist from hostilities and rec
ognize our sovereignty. The datto of Rio
Grande and others of the friendly Moros
say that our booting of the Maciu Moros
will be good news to all of the other lake
MorOs."

LEGATION. in summing up the situation, says:
'Earlham's record in these lines is an en-
viable one, and will compare favorably
with any college in the State. In eight
years of contests she is credited with first
place twice. second place three times and
third place three times, while in debate
her record is even more interesting. OF the
six intercollegiate debates held with fore
most colleges and universities of Indiana,
Earlham has won all but the first one. 1t
is then with great interest that students
look forward to the oratorical work for
the present year. Several or the strong
orators and debaters went out with last
years graduating class, but the prospects
for good contests this year are excep-
tionallyr bright. Besides a number who
were present last year, and who are al
ready at work for the contest, there are
several among the students who have won
academic and high school contests. 1t is
evident that the class contests will be
large. The primary contests will be held
early in October and the final contest one
month later"
