MORE TROUBLE IN MINDANAO
OTHERS TRYING TO BE GOOD
LEARNING THAT AMERICANS ARE
TRUSTWORTHY AND
FAIR.

Manila, June 17.-Gen. Davis, military
n correspondent that the Moros. are
learning that the Americans are trust
worthy and treat them with fairness.
The American officers frequently visit
the Moro villages.
The health of the troops in Mindanao
Is fine. Only 6 per cent of them are in
the hospital, and these will be trans
ferred to the healthy shore OF Lake
Lanao. There is continued sniping by
h disaffected Moros. The conditions.
Gen. Davis says, are probably similar
to those which obtained In Luzon. II
h fighting does not become close the
Americans will not suffer serious losses.
He believes that a regiment of infan-
try, two troops of cavalry and one
battery are sufficient to deal with the
Moros. He does not expect a general
attack. Datto Ada visited Camp Wears
and remained two days. He reported
that the murderers of Private Lewis did
not return to their village. Two of them
Were Killed mt Bayan.
and the third disappeared. The datto
promised to surrender Lewis Rife. This
is regarded as significant. The Sultans
Lumbutan and Butig, with the men
who attacked Col. Forsyth. visited the
camp and asked for an American flag,
which was given them. Friendly Moros
say that this is equivalent to the sultan
taking the oath of allegiance. A fanatic
boloed q sentry on Friday, but
did not seriously wound him. The in
cident, however, caused the establish
ment of double guards.
Fourth for the Philippines.
The Americans here are planning to
have a fousing Fourth of July celebra-
ton, and the Filipinos are cooperating
with them.
Gen. Lukban, the insurgent leader
who was recently captured, has taken
the oath of allegiance and has been re-
leased.
Friendly natives in Manila say a re-
port is current among their country
men that the five soldiers of the Fifth
cavalry who were captured by the In
surgents May 80 have been boloed to
death near Teresa, in Morong province,
Luzon. This report has not been con-
firmed by the American authorities of
district.
