Moro Position in Hills of Jolo
 Were Taken
THE EARTHWoRKs DESTROYED

One American Private Was Killed and
 Two Wounded-At Least Seventy
 five of the Moros Were Killed.
 Manila, Nov 24-General Wood cap- tured the Moro position in the hills of Jolo, north of Taglibi, on the 20th inst, and destroyed the earthworks tH2y had thrown up there. Private Martin Brennan of the Fourteenth cavalry was killed during the engagement and two priyates were wounded, one seriously.
 The loss on the Moro side is known to have been seventy-five. probably more as the ground is covered with brush and bodies are hard to find.
 The expedition returned to Jolo and pending an investigation General Wood says that so far as he can see there will be no more opposition on the part of the sultan's men who led the fight ing. .
 According to his understanding this action of the Moros abrogates the Bates treaty.

Tn an ensuing drunken fight the three sail ors assaulted and severely beat the sailmaker Subsequently the sailmalx- CT induced the same three men to make a second raid on the cargo and, it is said, purposely caused them to drink of a carboy of carbolic acid, and they died ....

He unscrewed the pipe from the cylinder and looking in- side he saw what he thought was clockwork The railroad company has not as yet paid any attention to it. ..
