by those rallies and rumor was busy

President Roosevelt gave rise to the
expectation of new steps to be taken

There were many inconsistent re-

the use Of the military. The anthra-

concerned the coal strike, but he
would not discuss the matter. From
the fact that he always has been in
fluential with labor organizations, it
is generally believed that he is en-
trusted with a message to President
Mitchell, of the miners union. 1t is
also said that Mr.. Sargent is to meet
Mr.. Mitchell in Philadelphia and de-
liver the message of the president,
urging that the miners end the strike
in the interests of the public.
While many propositions have been
under discussion it is almost certain
that the administration is taking up
only one plan at time The present
plan is that outlined in the Associated
Press dispatches Saturday and Sun
day, and contemplates an end Of the
strike by the action Of President
Mitchell and his associates and full
investigation Of the mining conditions
later.
No hope IS entertained that any
thing can be accomplished through the
coal operators since the attitude they
took at the conference Friday. Should
the movement now on foot fail, there
seems to be no other plan which pre-
sents a feasible solution of the seri-
Gus problem. :
While it was generally believed
that President Roosevelt has sent a
direct appeal to Mr.. Mitchell, there
was no confirmation Of such action

General chaffea Thinks the Defeat OF
the Maciu Morca Will Have
Beneficial Effect cH Others.

Washington, Oct. THE following
account OF Captain Pershings eIpedi-
ti0n against the MOrCs has reached
the war department by cable from
General Davis, at Manila: E.
General sumner, from Wears, re-
ports as follows upon events up u
Sept. %: |
captain Pershing and Captain Ell
Helmick's columns fired into nearly
every Gotta (small native forts) fl
Maciu. The places were capturea
and destroyed. Some were very
strong, but our bursting shells DEF
moralized and put the kostiles To
fight. 1t is evident they do not in
tend to be cooped up as they were
at Bayan. (This is the place where
Captain Pershing first defeated the
Moros in their forts.)
"One of the sultans Of Maciu and
40 or so Moros were killed and two
lantakas (small brass swivel cannon)
and some rifles were captured. Two
enlisted men slightly wounded. No
property or food destroyed except
such as was found in captured forts.
l am hoping that this has been a les
son that will Ue beneficial to the
Moros. l will try to communicate
with Bacolod and others who have
defied us. No opportunity will be
missed to impress them with the fact
that we can live with perfect peace
with them if they will desist from
hostilities and recognize our SOW
ereignty. The Datto Of Rio ,Grande
and others OF the friendly Moros say
that our booting of the Maein Moros
will be good news to all Of the other
lake Moros."

strikers:
In his telegram to the president Mr..
Holman referred to the operators OBJ
stinate policy Of refusing to submit
to arbitration their differences, which
the striking miners, with whose de-
mands many of the equitable real
owners of the unmined and unpaid
for coal Of Pennsylvania over which
the railway magnates so despotically
exercise the power of the legal title
they hold as Iessees, are, like myself,
entirely in sympathy. We have some
vested rights entitled to respect and
we welcome your intervention"
