Manila. May 5.-The trial by court
martial of Gen. Jacob II. Smith end

eral Order No. 100.
The closing address of Col. Charles
A. Woodruff for the defense was
remarkable oratorical effort that
drew Clears from his hearers. He
dramatically sketched Gen. Smiths
career and declared he had conduct
ed a remarkable and successful cam
paign in a manner which reflected

TOOK A MORO FORT.
Americans Have Hard Fight with
Sultan Bayan's Men.
The Rebellious Leaders KiiIed-Gen. Chat

Baldwin and the Men
Under Him.

Washington, May 5.-The war de-
partment yesterday received a cable
gram from Gen. Chaffee indicating
that tie campaign against sultan
Bayan, one of the principal Moro
sessful. The result was accom-
plished by gallant assault on the
principal Moro fort and it's capture
after number of the leading Moros
pad been killed. The following is
he substance of Brig. Gen. George
, ". Davis message from Bayan:
"Eighty-four survivors of Bayan
surrendered Internationally this
morning at seven. Sultan Bayan,
Raja Muda Bayan, Sultan Pandapa-
tan and all leading dattos dead and
many of their followers. Assault on
the principal fort which surrendered
last night one of the most gallant
performances of American arms.
Col. Frank D. Baldwin and his regi-
me MT deserve all praise for hand-to-
hand struggle in four lines of
bitches under walls of fort. These
trenches are lined with dead from
rifle fire. Have never heard of any
performance excelhng this gallant
fight. It was my painful duty to re-
port that the overthrow of Moro
power not accomplished without Sc
we're loss. One officer and seven en-
listed men killed; four officers and 80
enlisted men wounded. Will tele-
graph the list later. After "a survi-
vors marched out this morning as
prisoners, and was understood they
were all, eight others who had
concealed themselves in rubbish in
side the fort made a break for lib
erty, but none succeeded. Some of
the Moro wounded tried to stab sol
diers trying to help them. 1t is
impossible to state number of Moros
killed, many lying in tall grass. The
surrender saves us from siege and
starving them out. Impossible to
have carried works without scaling
