Manila, Nov. "a. - Three hundred

and many others were carried off
dead or wounded as a result of five
days severe fighting in Jolo between
the American troops under Gen. Leon
aard Wood and the insurgents. Maj.
H. l.. Scott, of the Fourteenth cavalry,

Gen. Wood landed near Siet lake, in
Jolo, Nov. IL. The Moros were soon
located and fighting began immediate
ly and continued until Nov. II.
Maj. Scott was taking Tanglima
Hassein, the Moro leader, who had
been taken prisoner, to Jolo. While

fired upon. Maj. Scott was shot in
both hands. Hassein succeeded in es.
Gaping during this unexpected attack,

Hassein 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 loss of fifty killed
on the Moros Hassein, 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

forces renewed the attack on the re-
naming Moros, of whom forty more
were killed.

that there will be no extension OF the
uprising. which was handled without
difficulty.
On Nov. Is Gen. Wood started on an
expedition against body Of 1000
Moros who are in the mountains back
