United States Forces Attack
Enemy 1000 Strong.
Rebel Forces Reported to Have
Been Literally Destroyed.

Manila, Nov 23-Three hundred Mo
Eos are known to have been killed and
many others were carried off dead or
wounded as result of five days Sc
we're fighting in Jolo between the Ameri-
can troops under General Leonard Wood
and the insurgents. Major H. L. Scott
of the Fourteenth cavalry and five
American privates were wounded.
Gen. Wood landed near Siet Lake in
JoIo, November II. The Moros were soon
located and fighting began Immediately
and continued until November II.
Major Scott was taking Panglima
Hassen, the Moro leader, who had been
taken prisoner, to Jolo. While en- route
Hassen asked to be allowed to see his
family. His appeal was granted and
he thereupon led Major Scott into an
ambuscade, where the American de-
taehment was fired upon. Major Scott
was shot in both hands. Hassen sue
ceeded in escaping during this unex-
pected attack. but is supposed to have
been killed the following day. The
fighting took place in a country COW
cred with swamps and rocks The
Moros were driven across the country
from Siet Lake to the town which
Hassen had made his headquarters,
and where it was reported the Moros
were 1000 strong.
The rebel position was attacked in
the flank by the American troops who
occupied the town, and inflicted a loss
of so killed of the MoTos Hassen with
a small party surrendered. The rest
Of the MoroS went into the swampS out
of which they were driven on November
is, leaving rs dead behind them. On
November II the American forces re-
newed the attack on the retreating
Moros, of whom 40 more were killed.
The rebel forces have been literally
destroyed by these operations under
General Wood who says the indications
are that there will be no extension of
the uprising, which was handled with
cut difficulty.
On November Is Gen. Wood started on
an expedition against a body of 1000
Moros who are in the mountains back
of Tablibi. No news has yet been re-
ceived as to the result of this move
ment.
Gen. Wood has under him two bat
talions of the Twenty-eighth regiment,
one of the Twenty-third regiment, a pla-
toon of Captain George S. Statley's bat
terry, two troops of the Fourteenth cav
airy and a detachment of engineers.
Major Scott assisted with a force
composed of three companies of the
Seventeeth infantry, a platoon of Capt.
D. j. Rumbough's battery and a troop
of the Fourteenth cavalry.

WOULDN'T WORK SUNDAY.
W. a. Slagle Says That Is Why He
Was Discharged.

w. H. S1agle, a well known German
laboring man who lives at I'll Straight
street, Oakland, came to the office of the
city free employment agent this morn
ing and asked for work. He said to
John Alexander, the deputy:
Il have for three years been employed
by the Topeka railway and worked for
the new company until they fired me be-
cause I wouldn't work on Sunday.
There were forty of US let out because
we refused to report for Sunday work.
1 didn't know that I would be fired for
falling to report but I heard it init
mated that this would be the result
When I showed up for work Monday
morning I was given my time It don't
look exactly right to me that man
should be fired for no other reason than
that he can't conscientiously work on
Sunday
Mr. Alexander took Mr.. Slagie's ap-
plication for a job, and advised him to
go and see Labor Commissioner John
son about the Sunday labor question.

OIL PRICES GO UP.
Austria Has Had SO Per Cent adj
vance Already.

Vienna, Nov. 2S-Much indignation
is expressed here over the steadily in
creasing price of OIL Since the for
nation of the Austro-Hungarian petro-
Ieum cartel prices have been advanced
so per cent, with the prospect that
they will go still higher as soon as
the present stocks become exhausted.
The advance infiicts the greatest hard
ship on the poorer classes, especially
on the thousands of tailors and dress
makers who work in their own homes.
The local authorities of the several
districts have taken the matter up and
are urging the city council to use
every means to break up the oil mo-
nopoly. There is, however, not the
slightest prospect that these efforts
will be successful. The cartel has COM
pleted its organization, the only mat
ter remaining still unsettled relating
to the export trade. Both the Standard
Oil company and the Deutsche bank
are continuing their efforts to come to
an agreement with the cartel regarding
the German market, hut strong sec
ton of the Austrian refiners wish the
cartel to remain Independent of both
parties.

Today's session of the senate began
with the presentation of a resolution
by Mr.. Allison Qa.) providing for the
appointment of Rev. F. J. Prettyman,
of this city, as chaplain of the senate
for the present session The resolution
was agreed to.
Mr.. Cullorn Gll.) presented the report
of the committee on foreign relations on
the bill to carry into effect the Cuban
reciprocity treaty The bill went to
the calendar. Mr.. Hale (Me.) then
moved to reconsider the vote by which
the Newlands resolution for the annex
alton of Cuba was referred to the COM
n1itree on relations with Cuba. He
made the motion the basis of a speech
in opposition to the policy proposed by
the resolution saying that this country
had already declared its policy with ref
erence to Cuba by enacting the Teller
resolution into law. He would not ex-
tend such an invitation to Great Brit
ain for the union of Canada to the
United States or for Mexico for such a
union.
In this connection Mr.. Hale said Incl

were men alive who would live to see
