TOLD TO GO AHEAD.
Chaffee Wants to Give the M0rOs
Drubbing.

Manila, Aug. 19.@The Moros in Min
dino are renewing their attacks upon
the outDosts and pack trains of the
American column. AT Lake Lano, which
is under the command of Captain John
Perishing, Fifth cavalry, the Ameri-
cans have successfully repulsed the
Moro attacks and have suffered no
losses.
The commander of the American
forces on Mindino reports aggressive ac-
ton against the Moros to be necessary
and asks permission to move against
Bacolad and other stronghOlds of the
hostile Mohammedans. There are
about 1000 American soldiers on Min
dino available for the desired aggres-
sive movement. 1t Is believed this num-
Der is sufficient to defeat the Moros, al
though it would possibly be necessary
to ST engthen their base before under
taking the movement.
Washington, Aug. ia cable dis
patch has been received from General
Chaffee stating that in his judgment an
active campaign against the NOrOS in
MindinO was necessary to curb the Op-
position that has been growing against
United States authority. the dispatch
was considered of sufficient Importance
to be repeated to President Roosevelt
at Oyster Bay.
Gen. Chaffee has been directed to use
his own discretion in the matter and
will no doubt engage in an aggressive
movement against the insurgent Moros.
Sometime before Secretary Root left
Washington, the Moro situation was
under consideration and from dispatch
then at hand the secretary was of the
opinion that the Moros must be dealt
with severely before they would respect
the authority of the United States.
Gen. Chaffee is now in Mindino hav-
ing left Manila some days ago. If the
campaign should continue for some
time he no doubt will remain in the
Of
tember 30 as he had planned 1t is
understood at the war department that
Gen. Chaffee has sufficient troops to
make an active campaign.
