MOROS WIPED OUT.
Americans Under Maj. Scott Capture
or Kill All Of Hassan's Band.

Americans Under Maj. Scott Capture
or Kill All Of Hassan's Band.
Washington, March 2.-Gen. Wade,
in a cablegram to the war department
dated Manila, yesterday. advises the
department of a report of Gen. Wood
concerning the engagement at Jolo on
Feb. IA with the remnants of Hassans
Cotto Moros. The American eXpedi-
ton was in charge of Maj. Hugh l.
Scott.
During the fight, Gen. Wood states.
firing was twice stopped to give the
Moros a chance to surrender, but they
declined. The entire body, he adds,
with the exception OF Hassan and fif-
teen OF his followers, is either dead or
captured, and Hassan is located.
Second Lieut.. Eugene r. West, Eigh-
teenth battery, field artillery, was Sc
riously wounded in the thigh. A num-
Der of troopers were also wounded.
and one has since died.
The Moro loss was heavy. Hassan
succeeded in making his escape, but
his original force of 5000 has now
been reduced to fifteen. The island ia
now under control of the American
authorities, and influential Moros are
now aiding in the pursuit Of the out
laws.
The members of the constabulary
who revolted at Vigan are all in GUS
tody.
Reward for T%reachery.
It is said at the war department
that this destruction of Hassa1's band
is a case OF r%etributive justice. Maj.
Scott suffered at the hands OF this Ia
natical Moro. The chief enticed the
major into the Jungle. pretending to
be friendly, and in ambush shot him.
Since that time Maj. Scott has been
on his trail and now has destroyed his
band.
Hassan. who is a priest, is n OF
the irrecOncilables. When the navy
was making some surveys a year ago
of the coast OF Jolo, Hassan con-
strued the setting up Of survey marks
as an act of hostility. and he attacked
the troops. He came into Gen. Sum
ner's headquarters under summons,
but he made his escape and ever since
has been ut war. His band is believed
to have numbered about 600, and If
entirely destroyed, as the cablegram
reports, the battle must has been of
some proportions.

LOGGERS BREAK CAMP.
Good Season Makes Early Close In
CUTTING Work.,

Crookston, Mimi, March 2.-Break-
ing camp in the logging woods has
begun, and by the middle of the
month nearly all of the camps in the
woods will have ~disbanded. Two OF
the Barnard & Gorder camps will be
broken this week and 1875 men will be
thrown out Of work. The season has
been SO good and SO much work has
been accomplished that it is closing
unusually early, and the prospects for
a long summers run were never bet
ter. The cut has been heavy and the
labor easy to get and cheap.
Many new buildings are to be con-
structed this spring, and the con
tractors are all rushed with work.
This will give a number Of men work.
Several blocks and stores will be put
up, and there will be more dwellings
than in any year for a long time.
