Washington. Nov. 23.-The press OF
Colombia continues to severely criti-
else and denounce the American gov

President Roosevelt. the American
congress and the American people are
targets of violent deunciation. The

WASHINGTON LETTER
from our Regular Correspon dent1
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 25. 1908.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 25. 1908.
Another has been added to the long
list Of scandals associated with the Re-
publican party. Senator Dietrich Of Ne
braska is appealing to the president, the
attorney general and his Republican
colleagues Of the senate TO save him
from conviction on indictments for brib.
cry and conspiracy which have just
been returned against him by the fed
eral grand jury. The senator is accused
OF accepting 81 800 in money and prop.
erty in consideration of his endorsing
the appointment OF Jacob Fisher to be
postmaster at Hastings, Nebraska. AL
though the jury, selected from all over
the state, voted 10 to l in favor Of re-
turning the indictment, the senator de.
clares that it is the result of political
conspiracy, and is trying to remove from
Office W. S. Summers, the United States
district attorney who prepared the
charges. 1t appears that the senator
had erected building at Hastings and
induced the postoffice department to
transfer the local Office to it from a
building owned by the Grand Army.
The senator received less rent for the
office than he had asked, and the
Grand Army men in Hastings regretted
the loss incurred by their having bought
postoffice fixtures which were now Of no
use to them. A new postmaster was to
be appointed, and whichever of the ap-
plicants received Senator Dietrich's en-
dorsement was certain to receive the ap-
pointment. Fisher promised that if he
got the position, he would buy the fixt-
ures from the Grand Army men and
also pay the senator the difference be-
tween what he got and what he asked
as rent for the Office. Fisher is now the
postmaster and is under indictment with
the senator. For several months he
paid Dietrich the money to mako up the
rent, until the senator realized that he
was violating the law and returned the
money to the postmaster. This may
prove an extenuating circumstance in
the case. but the buying of the fixtures
still remains an illegal consideration.
The penalty for accepting considerations
in making public appointments is two
years Imprisonment or $4,000 fine. The
senator says he will waive his constitu-
tional immunity from arrest and return
to Nebraska to stand trial. 1t remains
to be seen whether he can convince /,
jury that the Indictment was the result
of political conspiracy"

Manila, Nov. 23.-Three hundred
Moros are known to have been killed
and many others were carried off dead
and wounded as resul; of FIVE days
of fighting in Jolo between the Amer
ican troops under General Leonard
Wood and the insurgents.
Major II. l.. Scott of the Fourteenth
cavalry and five American privates
were wounded.
General Wood landed near Siet lake
in Jolo Nov 12. The Moros were soon
located and fighting began immedi-
ately and continued until Nov. II Ma
jor Scott was taking Panglima Hasser
the Moro lecder who had been taken
prisoner, to -olo. While en- route Has
sen asked to le allowed to see his fam
lily His appeal was granted, ard he
thereupon led Major Scott into an am.
buscade, where the American detach.
ment was fired upon. Major Scott was
shot in both hands. Hassen succeeded
in escaping during this unexpected at
tack, but is supposed to have been
killed the following day. The fight
ing took place in a country covered
with swamps and rocks. The Moros
were driven across the country from
Siet lake to the town where Hassen
had made his headquarters and where
it was reported the Moros were 1000
strong. The rebel position was at
tackled in the flank by the American
troops, who occupied the town ard
inflicted a loss of fifty killed on the
Moros. Hassen, with a small party,
surrendered. The rest of the Moros
went into the swamps out of which
they were driven on Nov. 16. leaving
seventy-six dead behind them. On
Nov. II the American forces renewed
the attack on the retreating Moros. of
whom forty more were killed.
The rebel forces have been literally
destroyed by the operations of General
Wood, who says the indications are
that there viii be no extension of the
uprising. which was handled without
difficulty.
On Nov. II General Wood started on
an expedition against 1000 Moros who
are in the mountains back of Tablibi.
No news has been received as to the
result of this movement.
General Wood has with him two oa-
tallions of the Twenty-eighth regi-
ment. one of the Twenty-third regi-
ment a platoon of Captain George Sat
terlce's battery, two troops of the
Fourteenth cavalry and a detachment
of engineers. Major Scott assisted
with force composed of three com
panies of the Seventeenth infantry. a

battery and troop CT the Fourteenth
cavalry.
