Manila, Sept. 23.-Captain John J. Pershing Of
the 10th Infantry, operat ting against the Moros
IN the island of Mindanao, has found the Moro
position at Macin, island of Mindanao, TO be
strong, and has delayed his attack on it. He
must throw pontoon bridge across a swamp
and possibly receive reinforcements before en-
gdging the enemy. The captain made recon-
noissance close TO the Moro position and found
fort elevation close to the lake shore.

preparatory to attacking the Moros from the
lake. and then decided 70 bridge the swamp
and make attack from all sides. The Sultans
OF Macin regard the position as impregna BILE.
and have refused TO treat with Captain Per
shing.
Brigadier General Samuel s Sumner will send
the Moros ultimatun commanding peace and
the return OF stolen property. If his demands
are rejected the place will be assaulted. Cap
tain Pershing has carefully examined the posi-
tion and its surroundings, and is confident of his
ability TO capture IL without serious loss.
Captain Pershing has returned TO Camp Vic

All kinds Of rumors. some Injurious. some

Americans are accused of having a combi-l

II is strange commentary on the racing
morality of Paris that its chief effect Is TO
increase the popularity of the Americans.
