MORO FORT TAKEN.
Gallant Assault by Colonel
Baldwin S Men.
LEADING DATT0S KILLED IN FIGHT.
General Davis Cables Account OF
What He styles "One of the Most
Gallant Performances of
American Arms"

WASHINGTON, May 5.-The war
from General Chaffee indicating that
the campaign against Sultan Bayan,
one 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 IL number of the leading Mo-
ros had been killed. The cablegram
from General Chaffce says that the fol-
lowing is the full substance of Briga-
der General George w. Davis mes
sage from Bayan as received by him:
"Eighty-four survivors Bayan surren-
dered Internationally this morning at
Z. Sultan Bayan. Raiah Muda Bayan,
Sultan Pandapatan and all leading dat
tos dead and many of their followers.
Assault on the principal fort which sur
rendered last night one of the most gal
liant performances of American arms.
Colonel Frank u. Baldwin and his regi-
ment 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 seen or heard of any per-
Torrance eXcelling this gallantry and
grit. 1t is my painful duty to report
that the overthroW of Moro power not
accomplished without severe loss. One
officer and seven enlisted men killed.
four officers and thirty-seven enlisted
men wounded. viii telegraph the list
later After eight-four survivors march
ed out this morning as prisoners and
was understood they were all, eight
others, who had concealed themselves
in rubbish inside the fort. made a
break for liberty. tried way out, but
none succeeded. Some more wounded
tried to stab soldiers trying to help
them. 1t is impossible to state the
number of MOros killed; many lying in
tall grass. The surrender saves us
from siege and starving. Impossible
TO have carried works without scaling
ladders, which were ready. Intend to
retain prisoners until two or three small
adjacent forts occupied, then, with
your consent, to retain as hostages
eight or ten of the principals and re-
lease the others. The force in line of
advance consisted of four mountain
guns, 40 rifles. This was fully sufii-
cient. Could not have used more.
The result to follow this action is
very mportant-namely. it secures re-
spect for United States authority in
the center of Moro savagery."

soUIERs FOR CUBAN POST.
President Names Secretary of Lega-
ton at Pcking For Minister.


WASHINGTON, May 6. - II. G.
Squiers, secretary of the legation at
Peking, has been selected by the presi-
dent to be minister to Cuba, and Cen
eral Bragg of Wisconsin has been Sc
lected as consul general at Havana.
Mr.. Squicrs' selection fulfils the very
first requirement laid down by the
overwhelmingly that the minister
at Havana should be man of diplo-
matte experience. He is native of
Canada, but was appointed from New
York. In 1894 he was appointed second
secretary of the United States embassy
at Berlin. retiring in 1897. In January,
$685. he was appointed secretary of
the United States legation at Picking,
remaining there constantly until Il few
months ago. when he returned to the
United States on leave. His connec-
ton with the defense of the legations
during the Boxer uprising is highly
csedtable. He had had military eXpe-
rience and by virtue of that fact was
practically in charge of the legation
defenses.
General Bragg. the new consul gener-
al at Havana, was born in Unadilla, n.
Y. in 1927. He entered the Union ar
my as Il captain in 1861 and reached
the grade of brigadier general in the
regular establishment. He served for
some years in congress and afterward
was appointed United States minister
to Mexico. His present home is at
Fond du Lac. Wis. The salary of the
consul general at Havana is $1,000.

May Yet Recover.
THE HAGUE. May 6.-Hope is
growing for the life of Queen Wilhel-
NINA
The latest unofficial information from
Castle Loo is optimistic, though it is
well understood that the condition of
the queen remains critical
The doctors bulletins from the castle
are extremely guarded, but confirm the
increasing hope that the queen will
survive.
The offices Of the official newspapers
were besieged with inquiries and sur
rounded by people awaiting bulletins.
Telegrams of inquiry arrived from all
parts of the world. All the foreign dip
lOmats either personally called for news
or sent their secretaries to make inqui-
ries about her maiesty's health.
The doctors remained with her maj
esty at the palace through the night,
and neither the queen mother nor the
prince consort went to bed.
The premature confinement of the
queen-feared from the time she was
stricken with typhoid three weeks ago
occurred at & o'clock Sunday night.
She was attended by Professor Rosen-
stein, Or. Roessingh and others. Her
suffering was intense.
