Methodist Episcopal church sends her

dusky sons of Ham are found thew

proclaim the fatherhood of God and
brotherhood of man.
If they find them poor, ignorant and
vicious, they make them thrifty, hon
est and virtuous. This church has
been trying for one hundred years to
better the conditions of the colored
race. She frowns down vice and i'm.
morality. She teaches her children
thrift. economy and virtue. The great
work of educating, outstanding and
training race devolves upon the pro.
gressive element Of the colored race.
1t is the duty and has been the
pleasure of hundreds of true and brave
hearted white people to assist the col
ored churches. The great M. e. church
has done good work, as also have the
Presbyterians, Congregationalists and
members Of other white churches.

1.035. 900, 0o0 pounds of tin plate, valued at
over S35, 900. To-day we import less than
one-tenth OF that amount, and the amount
OF tin-plate imports is constantly decreas-

drained from the American people every

qualification when assured of the Presi-

IL the coal strike had excited much inter-

Michael Herbert said: 81 am not so fright

killing or wounding a hundred of them
and capturing and destroying forty forts.
Two Americans were wounded.
On Tuesday the Moros retired to their

under the walls and started blaze, but
the Moros discovered him and forced the
Americans to retreat.
During the afternoon the Sultan of Ca
bugulan led sortie at the head of a band
of fanatics armed with krisees. They crept
through the grass and sprang up and at
tackled the Americans. The sultan was
wounded six times and boloed an American

In the darkness, Wednesday night. Cap
tain Pershing took his batteries within a
hundred yards of the fort, closed in his in
fantry lines, and resumed the attack. The
Moros broke through twice and tried to
escape by the beach, but were discovered
and many of them were killed The Moros
abandoned the fort early on Thursday,
AFTER nIteen hours DOnDarQment, ana on
Thursday Captain Pershing destroyed the
rest of the forts and returned to Camp

1t is believed the moral effect of the de-
feat of the Moros will be great General
Davis has ordered that hostilities be stayed
in order to permit the Sultan of Bacalod
and other hostile sultans to make peace.
The sultans of Maciu were confident of
their ability to defeat the Americans, and
vowed, before the fight, to enter slavery
voluntarily if they themselves were de-
feated.
General Davis has sent General Sumner,
in command of the American forces in
Mindanao, congratulatory telegram on
the success of Captain Pershing and the
small American loss.
