PERSHINGS MEN DROVE MOROS
FROM THEIR FORT.
Dash Was Made in the Face of Sharp
Fire and Against Desperate
Resistance.

Adjutant General Corbin has received the
following cable message from General
Davis in regard to the campaign at Lake
Lanao, in Mindanao:
"ILIGAN, April lin pursuance of my
ORDERS based upon the recommendation Of
Gen. Samuel 8. Sumner, Capt. John J..
Pershing started last Monday for explora-
ton Of the west coast of Lake Lanao. He
visited many of the dattos, per invitation.
The Bacolod Moros have persistently defied
us since we reached the lake, and have kept
war flags flying over their forts, which
were reported as the strongest on the lake.
Repeated efforts were made to induce the
sultan to come to Camp Wears for friend
ly talk but he never came When Captain
Pershing approached the fort last Monday
he was fired upon and two men were Sc
verely wounded. There was nothing left
but to overcome the resistance The place
is very strong and surrounded by a ditch
thirty feet deep.
1.-The first attack drove the defenders out
of the exterior trench On April the fort
was assaulted and the ditch crossed, under
fire, over a bamboo bridge made by the
troops. The walls of the fort were scaled
the Moros inside defending the place des-
perately. By pm. our troops were in full
possession. Many Of the Moros were killed
Complete list Of casualties. eleven wounded.
Seven cannon, four lantakas and many
other captured arms.' Previous study
of the situation, careful preparation and
disposition, accounts for the small loss to
our troops, SO ably commanded by Captain
Pershing.
HE has moved forward to complete his
exploration and visit the friendlies. his OBJ
ject in point being Marahui, where I have
forwarded supplies from Pantar. near the
outlet to lake. 1 spent last night there

SECRETARY SHAW RETURNS
Talks About the Government Building
Site at Atlanta

Secretary Shaw returned this morning
from New York. and had good laugh with
Representative Livingston over the delay
in the selection Of site for the new gov
ernment building at Atlanta, caused by his
visit to Washington. Secretary Shaw said
Mr. Livingston had never intimated by
word or act his preference as to the loca-
ton of the post Office, but on receipt of a
telephone message that Mr.. Livingston was
on his way to Washington, he deferred ac-
ton until he arrived. The telephone mes
sage did not say that Mr.. Livingston want
ed to be heard on the location, but out of
respect for the Georgian the Secretary de-
ferred selection. Promptly on arrival Mr.
Livingston stated that he had not and
should not have anything to do with the
location Of the post office. He was proud
OF being able to get the appropriation. but
with the appropriation his responsibility
and duty ceased. The Treasury Depart
ment has selected what is known as "the
Baptist Church lot' on Forsyth street
There has been hot contest over the lot
to be selected

MR.. AILES' SUCCESSOR.
Believed Secretary Shaw Will Decide
on Mr., Hills.

The impression is strong among treasury
officials and employees that Secretary Shaw
will not go outside of Washington for an
assistant secretary to succeed Milton E.
Allies, and that he will finally decide upon
Wallace H. Hills for the position Mr..
Hills extensive acquaintance with affairs
and personnel in the treasury renders his
selection extremely logical, and likewise
makes it unlikely that new man will be
brought in who is unfamiliar with the work
of the department Secretary Shaw will
not be in a hurry about the matter, and
has not given the slightest indication of his
intentions. Mr.. Hills is from New York,
has always been a republican, and geo.
graphically, politically and otherwise is
looked upon as the strongest man now in
the race.

TO BE LAUNCHED TODAY.
New Cup Defender Will Be Floated at
& p M

BRISTOL, r. l., April 11.-Final prepara-
tions were being made today to launch the
new cup defender Reliance. Her initial
plunge is scheduled to take place at $50
o'clock this afternoon. The weather con-
ditions were IDEAL and the day was made
a gala one in Bristol. Flags were dis
played from many buildings, and at the
Herreshoff works. Moored off the end
of the dock the tender of the Reliance, the
steamer Sunbeam, was fancily decorated
with flags. c. Oliver Iselin, the managing
owner of the Reliance, spent today on the
Sunbeam and received a large number Of
invited guests Many yachtsmen have come
from New York to witness the launching.
The workmen have knocked away the
doors at the end of the shop, so that the
yacht may pass easily into the water
Although the boat was still somewhat
hidden by the staging, 1t was possible by
rowing into the dock to obtain a good
look at her after end. 1t could be seen
that the Reliance was more Of skmming
dish than any boat the Herreshoffs have
constructed for cup defender. Her floor
is very fiat, and there is scarcely any bilge
her stern running well under and not deep
ening into the keel for many feet The rud-
der post has a decided rake and the fin is
very thin. The boat has considerable beam
and looks as If she would be decided
contrast to the Constitution when af1oat.
The following dimensions and description
of the new cup yacht Reliance are from the
Scientific American of today:
The boat has more beam and considerably
less dead rise than Constitution, a harder
bilge and longer ends, particularly in the
forward overhang. Her extreme beam is %
feet inches: her draught. 1S feet inches,
and her length over all 140 feet. In her
midship section she shows exactly two feet
less dead rise than the Constitution The
Reliance will spread in the neighborhood
of 1900 square feet of canvas
The framing of the Reliance consists OF
nickel steel belt frames Of deep section
which are spaced feet inches apart, the
frames occurring at every fourth station
of the eighty-four stations which make up
the full overall length of the yacht.

AN ILLEGAL COMBINATION.
st. Louis Judge Dissolves Master
Plumbers Association.

CHICAGO, April ia dispatch to the
Tribune from St. Louis says: Acting in
conformity with instruction of the ST. Louis
courts of appeals, Judge Horace Wood OF
the circuit court yesterday held that the
Association of Master Plumbers of St
Louis is an illegal combination. 1t is held
that it was organized to maintain and
monopolize the plumbing business in St
Louis with view of determining prices
and restricting the sale of plumbing sup
plies to master plumbers only.
An order was made diSsolving the asso-
citation on the ground that it carried on
business in restraint of trade.
Judge Woods decision means that while
the respective plumbing concerns can in
dividually refuse to sell person plumbing
supplies, they are permanently enjoined
from refusing to sell supplies a whole.
Seven concerns are affected by the order.

April 5.-Cattle-Receipts, zoo; shipments small.
The receipts Of cattle this week have been Of
fair volume. but little less than 800 smaller
than last week and 200 larger than the same
week a year ago and 200 larger than the CORE
spending week two years ago. Thus far this
year the receipts are over 5000 smaller than the
same time last year. and the receipts for the
month thus far are less than 800 smaller than
the same period year ago. There have been
very few changes of any particular importance
In the trade here this week At the beginning
of the week the market for certain kinds was
rather inclined to weakness, and salesmen had
more or less difficulty in consummating sales.
but there general reduction of any conse-
ouence suffered In prices. The market was
little feeble until after the middle of the week.
but later. with increased requirements from
outside sources and a steady demand from local
packing houses there was more animation in
the trade and sales were usually at satisfactory
prices. Some little Improvement finally Sc
cured in prices OF the best steers compared with
the close OF last week. but they did not get as
high as the early part of last week The strong
est line in the market this week was the good
cows. and they at all times salable at
firm prices. but higher. On account of a
larger proportion Of unfinished stock toward the
close of the week. that class did not sell quite
1t Is the opinion of a good many dealers that the
mar.zet here is in healthy condition. and they
rather expecting at least present prices for
the better class OF stock in the near future
There is danger. however, OF the supplies becom-
ing excessive, and in that event ii Is hardly
probable that steady prices be maintained
Country shippers do much toward keeping
the market in a satisfactory condition by pre-
venting a glut aud by making their consign-
ments good as possible In regard to fat and
quality. The highest prices paid this week were
s5-s5 for fat steers. s4-eo for feeders, So for
heifers, $3.50 for cows, si.25 for bulls and 81 for
calves. The receipts to-day. usual Satur-
day. small, and the consignments were
principally cattle on the stocker and feeder Or
der. There being practically outside demand
for that class to-day, the market quiet.
and most dealers reported quotable change in
prices compared with yesterday. Quotations:

Sheep-Reccipts small. shipments none The
receipts of sheep and lambs thus far this week
show little Improvement compared with last
week, but decrease of 80 compared with the
same week q year ago and an Increase Of $50
over the corresponding week two years ago.
Thus far this year the. receipts are nearly 2 700
smaller than the same period last year, and for
the month thus far there Is an increase OF about
800 over the same period year ago. The market
this week again characterized by unmpor-
tant changes in prices. The supplies at all times
were Just about large enough TO accommodate
local butchers. and they seemed satisfied to take
the offerings at former prices. The conditions
existing in the general trade did rot warrant any
expectation of higher values. and the situation
was not changed materially at any time. Occa-
sionally stock that was not fully up to the
Quirements in tat were rather difficult TO sell
and possibly weaker The he(conditions governing
the trade In general not satisfactory as
usual at this time in the year. and, therefore,
Il Is rather expected that values for the season
will fall below the average. There Is very
limited outlet on export account. and this Is the
principal weakening factor. Shippers should also
be careful IN the near future in buying spring
lambs and wool stock they will surely be
Disseminated against the advances.
The highest prices paid this week were IS for
spring lambs $3.50 for yearlngs, S. for clipped
lambs. s4.75 for wool sheep and $4 for clipped.
There not enough fresh arrivals to-day to
establish range in prices for any grade, and
on that account there Is no Quotable change or
Improvement to report compared with yesterday.
Lambs sold as high as s6.25 and sheep as high
n s450. Quotations.:
