Washington, April 16.-The follow
cablegram from General Chaffee, dated
at Manila yesterday, was made public
at the war department today:
with reference to my telegram Of
the 23rd ult, report Of the attack by
Moros during a reconnaissance under
Forsyth, March 15, in which soldier
of the Twentieth United States in
fantry was murdered by the moros in
the vicinity of Parang- Parang. March
Goth. Two soldiers of the Twenty sew
enth regiment United States infantry,
having one gun were approached with
semblance of friendship by six Moros
near Malabang. The rifle was seized,
one soldier was killed and the other se-
verely wounded, but escaped. The
murder was without provocation or
justification in any way. The murder
ers were known and q demand has been
made for their surrender. Thus
far the dattos refused to deliver
them. Have been to Malabang and
tried to confer with them. Waited
three days. Dattos failed to come or
acknowledge receipt of my request for
conference. An expedition of 1,200
men, under Colonel Frank D. Baldwin,
cavalry and artillery, is being formed,
leaving for Lake Lano about April 27,
for the purpose of arresting the mur-
cerers and punish the Dattos. Every
care is to be taken not to bring ON a
general war with the Moros about the
lake. 1t is absolutely important that
our authority be respected by these
people, and that the sovereignty of the
United States be fully acknowledged.
Have addressed letter to this effect
to the Dattos, at the same time in-
forming them of the friendly DISPOSE
ton of the government: that the pur-
pose was to punish only those giving
offense; that the government claims the
right to explore the country between
Ilana and Ilimar bays; that my pur-
pose is to do so now and at anw other
time. In accomplishment of this OBJ
iect it is necessary to retain a battal-
ion Of the Seventeenth two months
longer. My belief at the present time
is that large majority of the Dattcs
will not support those implicated in the
murders
