FORTY FORTS CAPTURED.
Captain Pershing lnfIicts Disastrous
Defeat on Macin Moros.

Manila, Oct. Capt. John ]. Per-
shing's column has completely routed
the Macin Moros, in the island of Min
danao. killing or wounding hundred
of them and capturing and destroying
forty forts. Two Americans were
wounded.
Tuesday the Moros retired to their
largest and strongest fort on the lake
shore, and Wednesday Capt. Pershing
attacked them with artillery, lombard
ing the enemy for three hours.
At noon Lieutenant Loring, leading
squad of men, attempted to set fire to
the fort. He crept under the walls and
started a blaze, but the Moros discov-
cred him and forced the Americans to
retreat.
During the afternoon the Sultan OF
Cabugalan led a sortie at the head of
a band of fanatics armed with krisses.
They crept through the grass and
sprang up and attacked the Americans.
The Sultan was wounded six times and
boloed an American before he died. His
followers were killed.
In the darkness Wednesday night
Captain Pershing took his batteries
within hundred yards of the fort.
closed in his infantry lines and resumed
the attack. The Moros broke through
twice and attempted to escape by the
beach, but were discovered and many
OF them killed.
The Moros abandoned the fort early
Thursday, after fifteen hours lombard
ment, and Thursday Captain Pershing
destroyed the rest of the forts and re-
turned to Camp Wears.
1t is believed the moral effect of the
defeat of the Moros will be great. Gen
eral 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 Macin were confident
of their ability to defeat the Americans
and vowed before the fight to enter
slavery voluntarily if they themselves
were defeated
General Davis has sent General Sum-
ner. in command of the American
forces in Mindanao. n congratulatory,
telegram on the success of Captain Per-
shing and the small American loss.

bath ordered by Mr.. Carnegie for
Akibo Castle is finished. 1t is the
costliest and biggest private bath in

luxurious dressing rooms to match the
bath, which is a copy of an ancient
Roman bath. Sea water from the

New York, Oct. 6.-The Academy

three audiences yesterday, gathered
to listen to the preaching of General
Booth of the Salvation Army, who rs
in this country on an evangelical cam
paign. Meetings were held at IL
O'Clock, 8 o'clock and o'clock. The
estimates of those officers of the To-
cal staff who have charge of the meet
ings in this city were that 5000 per-
sons heard General Booth. A contin-
uous and heavy rain had no effect in
keeping either Salvation Army people
or the general public from the meet
ings. About one-third of those pres
cut wore Salvation Army regalia

Corporation Assessments.

Reductions from the May assessment
of railroads and other corporations
amounting in all to 81 .969. TAB were ap-
proved October 1st by all the members
OF the State Board of Equalization. The
petitions of Arapahoe and Teller coun-
ties of all the sidetracks and terminals
ties of all the sidetracks and therminals
they contained were rejected on the
ground that the law forbade the grant
ing of what the commissioners asked.
The petition for reduction presented
by the Rio Grande Western, the Ric
Grande Southern and the Rio Grande
Railroad Company were rejected, and
the assessments of last April reaf-
firmed. The total assessed value of
the property passed upon by the state
board is $50 49S ,654, against S57 100000
last year. The Wells Fargo Express
Company. by its protest, secured re-
duction of the valuation of all property
of express companies in the state. The
cut to $75 a mile was the excuse Ior
similarly reducing the valuations of
the United States and the Adams Ex-
press companies.
The basis of equalization was the rel
ative value of the roads assessed. The
most complicated division of values
under this plan was in the case of the
Santa Fe, which is assessed at rates
varying from $4,000 to SIS, 900 mile

us that this God exists in three

purchases salvation for man. The
Holy Spirit applies the redemp-

No one can TIL the blessing
the Bible has been to mon. 1t
has rescued them from supersti-
tion and ignorance, and their
lives and their homes from de-
gradation and filth. 1t has been
the comfort of thousands and tens
of thousands in their hours of
darkness and gloom, and has been
their solaco in the hour of death.
Through the truths that it cons
talns thousands and tens of thous-
ands have entered heaven, and
thousands and tens of thousands
more are yet to enter. Though q
man should live as long as Mathu
selah he would never be able to
tell the blessing that the Bible
has been 10 the world. When
God gave the Bible to the world,
he gave priceless gift. There
fore we ought to cherish It, and
!ove it. We ought to make it the
man Of our counsel, and the
guide of our lives.
Because it is the blessing that
it is we ought to send it to those
who have it not. The Waxhaw

ready doing a useful work, and !
congratulate you on the work you
have done. 1t Isa grand work
