able officer at the time the selection
was made. Showing the Moros that the
United States had the ability to pro-
tect themselves and overcome resist

good effect. He says Captain Pershing
has established friendly relations with
a large number Of villages. He ascribes
much Importance 90 the fact that the
Old pandita.' person or much Influ-
cnce, recently has recognized United
States authority. General Davis closes
his report by saying.
