ADVICES FROM MANILA
CONDITIONS ON ISLAND OF JoLo
ARE IMPROVING.
Good Results Expected From Confer
ence With Datto Hassan-Lawiess-
ness Revived in Cebu.

According to unofficial advices from
Manila the conditions in the Island of Jolo
are improving, the dattos and the Ameri-
cans having reached better understanding
than for several months past. Datto fagu-
man Hassan, one of the leading warriors,
who has large following Of Moros recent
ly had conference with Colonel wallace
commanding the United States forces On
the island He was assured that the mis-
sion of the troops was peaceable one, ana
that they did not desire to appropriate the
lands. nor modest or loot the inhabitants.
The datto expressed qualification at these
statements. and returned to his people in
much improved state Of mind.
The surveys being made by the navy are
still a source of concern to the natives, who
do not clearly under stand Their purpose.
The appearance of so many gunboats on
the coast alarmed the natives for a time
and it required some tact and diplomacy to
pacify them. The impression prevailed
among them at first that although the
Americans professed peaceful purpose,
they were actually engaged in hostile
movement and would in the end swoop
down on them and confiscate their lands
and property Since then, however, the ma
tives have become better satisfied with the
situation, and it Is expected that the report
made by Datto Hassan will have a good
effect.

the part of the ladrones in Cebu. They have
made several attacks upon small bodies of
troops passing over the mountains, and the
officers of the law have taken vigorous
measures to break up the gangs and punish
the leaders
The entire force of constabulary in that
province has been put In the field, and it is
reported that little quarter will be shown
to all persons found in arms against the
lawful authorities. 1t was thought that the
province was well rid of the bandit and
outlaw element, but the gangs seem to
have recruited their ranks and have lately
been in open rebellion to the authorities
Occasionally they swoop down upon an I'M
suspecting barrio and loot everything Of
value. 1t is reported they are in touch
with number Of well-to-do citizens who
secretly supply them with provisions and
information. The vigorous measures I'M
dertaken by the authorities will, it Is be-
lleVed, result in the capture or dissipation
of the troublesome bands
Another report depicts the ladrones as
arson fends, and says that they burned
four large towns in the north within a
week One of the destroyed towns was
Panlquf, In the province of Tarlac, and an
other was Corona, between that town and
Bayambang. The troops made a gallant
eHort to save the towns, but were not able
70 90 so, owing to the scant water supply.
Many hundred people were made homeless
Ihls 1ncendiary work was said to be one of
the means used to induce the natives to
join the ladrones.

the case today endeavoring to verify re-
ports TO the efect that two men were seen
on the night Of the murder carrying a
ladder in the rear Of the parsonage.
The officers are also investigating a re-
port that the house Of J. w. Spencer on

night of the murder. who were frightened
away after they had raised window.

Awaiting Offers of Silver.

Up to late hour this afternoon the mint
bureau Of the Treasury Department had
bought no silver today for coinage in the
Philippines. The bureau was waiting for
late offers from the Pacific coast and else
where. All of the offers that were received
from the east placed the price Of the bull
lion at above "a cents an ounce. The bu-
reau declined to purchase at these figures,
and the allegation is made that combi-
nation has been formed in the silver mar
ket to make the treasury pay more than
the bullion is worth. What will be the
outcome if such combination exists is not
known.

broken country covered with a dense jungle
of bamboo. 1t consisted Of a square stone
block house. inclosed by a stone wall about
eight feet high and so well concealed that
1t had heretofore escaped discovery. THIS
corral and block house were built by the
Spaniards many years ago. Lieuts. NICK
erson and Reese and their men made a gal
liant attack on this stronghold under very
heavy fire from the enemy. who fired their
shots through loopholes in the wall. In
spite of this fire the scouts advanced and
charged over the wall and engaged the
enemy in hand-tO- hand combat inside the
corral. driving them into the fort. In this
assault Lieut.. Reese was shot through the
thigh just below the groin.
San Miguel, surrounded by a devoted
body guard Of about thirty men, under

covered put up a plucky running fight.
Lieutenant Nickerson, with fifteen men. at

Miguel and one of his immediate attend
ants were seen to fall. The wounded leader
was game, however, and continued firing
his revolver while lying on the ground I'M
til he expired. He had been shot through
his body in three places. Six of his body
guards were also killed, and the remainder
escaped in the dense jungle.
The fight lasted about an hour and one
half. The Americans lost three killed and
ten wounded, including Lieutenant Reese.
The enemy lost heavily. There were thirty
five dead and dying in the fort and six lay
dead outside. Many more dead and wound
ed were scattered about in the jungle. NO
prisoners were taken. The body OF San
Miguel was taken to Caloocan, where it
was fully identified. At the time of his
death San Miguel wore khaki uniform
with epaulets bearing sunburst In solid
gold. Many valuable papers were found
on the bodies of the dead, which are said
to contain evidence against several promi-
nent men and officials in the province.
