MANILA, March 24-The town of Surf

of Mindanao, which was captured Sunday
by ladrones, was relieved to-day. The
American officials and foreigners were
found to be safe.
Eighty iadrones. led by ten escaped con-
victs, participated in the attack on Surf
gao. They had twenty rifles and forty
bolos and succeeded in surprising and
rushing the constabulary barracks ans
stampeding the constatularly. Inspector
Clarke was killed at the first rush. The
ladrones captured eighty rifles.
The American officials, the women and
the foreigners sought refuge in the govern
ment building, where Treasurer Kelly, a
former Indian scout, assumed command.
The defenders OF the building were armed
with shotguns and refused the summons of
the ladrones to surrender. They held out
until the town was relieved to-day by a
force of constabulary sent from Taclaban.
The ladrones fed at the approach of the
constabulary. Three companies Of infantry

Brave Defense of Surigao by "Yellow-

count of the attack at Surigao: THE affair

ed in surprising and rushing the constab-
ulary barracks. obtaining constabulary
arms and ammunition, killing Constabulary
Inspector Lewis NJ Clark. and thus taking
command of the town. Nine Americans,
including two women, retreated to the prov
incial building, where, under the direction
formerly e' captain 81 Volunteers and 'I still
Kelly. barricaded the building against the
attacking party. The Americans armed
only with few shotguns and short Of am
munition. maintained their defense against
the ladrones, refusing 10 yield to an ulti-
matum demanding guns, by the reply OF
Kelly that they would not give up single
gun and would kill ON sight any ladrone
within range. Assistant Chief Taylor ar
rived at Surigao with constabulary force
about eighteen hours after the attack. On
his approach the ladrones disappeared and
columns are now following them.

their guns may be captured and they may
be prosecuted for murder and ladronism.
So far advised Captain Clark was the
only American killed. The cable from
Surigao Is landed near the provincial build
ing. IN which the Americans took refuge.
and they were thus able to communicate
with military commander at Iligan and
with constabulary headquarters at Cebu.
Two constabulary inspectors were absent
from Surigao in Cebu. where they were
passing their examination for promotion.

peoples liberty by stealing away their fran
chise rights, and the readytool of the Robber
Baron, the bandit politician, masquerading as
a Statesman and patriot the better to serve
the ends of his master In fulfilling this high
function it has sometimes had to go fast and
sometimes to go slow, sometimes to cry ION
ward" and sometimes to cry 'halt," some
times to drive at the root of things, and some
times to drive ahead, but never changing the
direction of it's movement and always true to
the underlying principle of its being. expressed
