Manillas Nov 25-Three hundred
Moros are known 10 have been killed
and many others were carried off dead
or wounded, as a result Of five days Sc
we're fighting In Jolo between the Ameri-
can troops under General Leonard Wood
ana the insurgents. Major II. L.
Scott, Of the fourteenth cavalry, and
five American privates were wounded.
General Wood landed near siet Lake,
in Jolo, November ~. The Moros
were soon located, and fighting began
Immediately and continued until No
yember IL.
Major Scott was taking Panglima Has
sen, the Moro leader, who had been tax
en- 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
ambush, 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 fighting took place in country
covered with swamps and rocks. The
Moros were driven across the country
from Siet Lake TO the town which Has
sen had made his headquarters, and
where II 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 loss
OF 80 killed on the Moros' side. Has
sen with small party, was sur
rounded The rest Of the Moros went
into the swamps out OF which they
were driven on November rs, leaving
70 dead behind them. On November
IL the American forces renewed the at
tack on the retreating Moros, OF whom
40 more We're killed.
The rebel forces have been literally
destroyed by these operations. Cen
eral Wood says the indications are that
there will be no extension OF the upris-
ing which was handled without diff
Guilty.
On November 10 General Wood
started on an expedition against body
Of 1000 Moros who are in the noun
tains back OF Tablbi. No news has

CURE FOR CONSUMPTION.
Russian Physician Is Having Remark
able Success.

Moscow, Nov. 81. -Remarkable cure,
OF consumption have recently been
effected in Russia by Kisel Zaogranski.
formerly mining engineer, and now
especially licensed by the Russian med
lcal department to practice medicine.
zAgoranski has given TIE Associated
Press an account of the origin of his
consumption cure, from which it ap-
pears that 80 years ago he was sent to
Siberia to superintend extensive min
ing works. The medical facilities
there were extremely limited, and Tag
oransH himself attended to the medi-
cal wants OF the workmen to the best
of his ability.
An old foreman Of the mine. how
ever, always took care of consumntion
cases, and almost invariably cured
them. The foreman died some wear,
ago, coniding his tuberculosis cure 10
zagoranski, who continued to use it.
Tearing a rumor that John d. Rookie
teller, OF the United States, had offered
an immense prize for the discovery NJ
consumption cure, he consulted Ameri-
can Consul Smith, who, with his broth
err W. e. Smith, began a systematic
observation of the cases of several pa
tients, and especially that of an Eng
ish lady, an acquaintance of the con-
sui, who had been given up by the doc
tors. She submitted to Zagoranski's
treatment, which was given under pro-
tessional medical observation. This
occurred last spring, and the cure an
pears to be permanent.

AMERICA Warts ON PANAMA.
Cabinet Decides She Must RatIsy the
Canal Treaty First.

Washington, Nov. 24.--Several sub
jects of interest and importance were
considered at today's meeting Of the
cabinet, which was attended by every
member. Matters relating to the stu
stion in Panama were the most import
ant topics discussed. The president
and Secretary Hay have decided, and
the decision meets the approval Of the
cabinet, that the existing government
Of Panama must ratify the canal treaty
before action relating to its ratification
by the senate is taken. The admins
tration has determined that there shall
be no repetition Of the failure Of Co
iombia TO complete the ratification Of
the treaty after final action had been
taken by the United States senate.
The treaty will be placed in the
hands OF the Panama commissioner
now in Washington and by them it will
be taken to Panama
Tssis government, it is anticipated,
will ratify it promptly. 1t is expected
that il will be returned to Washington
bearing the seal Of the Panama govern
ment early in December. President
Roosevelt will then transmit the treaty
70 the senate with request for its rati-
ication.
Secretary Moody presented the cab
met some interesting details just re-
ceived by him from Commander Hub
bard, OF the cruiser Nashville, at Pan
anna, concerning the early phases Of the
revolution. They came by mail and
contained important details not hereto
fore known by the administration.
They will be made public coon.

Washington, Nov. 26.--The Repub-

senate were il conference much OF the
time today over the question OF fixing
time for a vote on the Cuban reci-
procity bill, and, 30 far as they were
empowered to do 30, entered into an
agreement to take the final vote on De-
cember 10, or little more than week
after the converting Of the regular ses-
sion Of congress. There was no oppor-
unity TO consult some of the Demo-
cratic senators who desire to speak on
the bill, but II Is not doubted that they
will assent TO the arrangement.
The treaty for the cession OF the
island OF Pines to Cuba was today fay-
orably acted upon by the senate com
mittee ON foreign relations, and II will
be favorably reported TO the senate at
the next executive session.

THE CANAL TREATY.


l Washington, Nov. 81. - Although
the treaty has not been made public,
the Associated Press is enabled to give
the substance of the document. 1t con-
sists of between q and rs articles, but
the main points of the convention are
contained in the first six articles.
The keynote OF the treaty is the pro-
vision in one of the very first articles
by which Panama cedes to the United
States whatever land or lands in the re-
public OF Panama, this government
snail find desirable in connection with
the building or the operation and main
tenance of the canal. In addition, the
treaty gives to the United States abund-
ant sovereignty over the canal strip,
which, it is understood, comprises be-
tween eight and ten miles on each side
of the canal. Within this zone, the
power OF the United States is absolute
as if the zone were part and parcel Of
this country.
In general, it may be said that while
the new treaty contains many of the
provisions Of the rejected Hay Herran
treaty, it is not based on that conven-
ton, but follows not only the spirit,
but the letter of the Spooner act.
Thus, instead of the lease for fixed
period of the canal strip, this rev
treaty provides for perpetual grant Of
the right Of way to the United States,
and instead Of a complicated provision
for courts OF fixed compositions half
American and half Colombian, to ad-
minister justice over the canal strip,
the new treaty permits this go7ernment
to exercise the must complete jurisdic-
ton thereon.
Permission also is given the United
States to fortify the line and the termi-
nails, and it may police it with troops.
That portion of the treaty dwelling
with the fortifcation Of the terminals is
rather general, but sufficiently explicit
not to be misunderstood.
The cities of Panama and Colon re-
tain their municipal autonomy under
the republic of Panama SO long as they
maintain public order and sanitary con-
ditions to the satisfaction of the
United States. Failure-to do this gives
the United States, according to the
treaty, the right to'force strict compli-
ance with the wishes Of this govern
ment in this direction, and the United
Ststse can even use force to compel
obedience to its rules as to public order
and public health in these cities.
The money consideration is the same
in the new treaty as in the Hay-Herran
convention, with the exception that
the SIC, 600, 900 go to Panama instead
OF to Colombia. The treaty further
provides that the canal is to be neutral
and open OF all nations on even terms.
Secretary Hay had conference with
the Panama minister late last night,
and tn, general terms of the treaty
were greed upon.
