TWO AMERICANS KILLED.
THREE BADLY WOUNDED
General Woods Soldiers Attacked
by Moros in the Taraca
Valley.
MANY COTTAS RAZED

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE following
bulletin was posted at the War Department
to-day:
General Wood reports that he invited
Sultan Taraca TO meet him al Wears on
March 81 for consultation and that the Sui
tan refused TO come. and, instead made ex-
tensive hostile preparations. Marching col
umns from Marshut and Wears left on the
I'd of April to assemble the cavalry. The
Wears column was fired into about ten
miles from Wears and one enlisted man
was seriously wounded. The Marshut col
umn was strongly resisted at the mouth of
the Taraca river, although every effort
was made to accomplish a peaceful landing.
Two enlisted men were seriously wounded.
The combined forces assembled in the val
ley on the 4th of April and a large number
of fortified cottas, occupied by hostiles, were
destroyed from April to April Z. The
troops then returned to their proper sta
tions. Newcomb, Of Company X Seven
teenth Infantry, and Wampler OF Company
ID, Twenty-third Infantry, were killed
Every effort was made to bring the MoroS
to terms peacefully, but in each instance
our troops were attacked before firing
shot and force was only used when all
peaceful methodist failed and the enemy at
tackled us. The two chiefs who have been
at the bottom of all the trouble on the east
side OF Lanao for two years are now in
hiding and they will be arrested if pos
sible.
General Wade to whom General Wood
report was made, and who transmitted it
to the department. adds that the conditions
months have been such as to render the
above action absolutely necessary"

SECRETARY ". H. MOODY
EXPLAINS THE NAVY BILL
Not in Favor of Creation of Staff
Like Army Organ
izatiOn.
BEFORE THE COMMITTEE

WASHINGTON, April u.-Secretary
Moody is not in favor of the creation of
general staff in the navy modelled after the
general staff organized in the army. This
fact he communicated to the House COM
mittee on naval affairs to-day in a hearing
granted him on a bill of his own drafting
Ito increase the efficiency of the navy
The bill authorizes the secretary of the
navy to constitute a general board in his
discretion, by detailing seven officers on
the active list of the army and marine
corps, not below the rank of captain, for
such duties as the secretary may from
time to time direct
The secretary explained that this bill did
not really enlarge his present authority in
the matter of an advisory board He now
has the right to create. such a board CT
any number of officers and continue them
on the board for any length of time.
Such a board, the secretary explains, was
absolutely lin the hollow of the hand of
the secretary of the navy" He could
create 1t at will and discontinue il at will.
Its functions would De purely advisory.
He said that a civilian had been and al
ways would be at the head of the navy,
pert advice, but as he was responsible to
the country he should be master OF the sit
uation. No board, he said. should be
created which could usurp the powers of
the secretary. The board provided for in
his bill. he said. would have no executive
power nor jurisdiction over the bureaus of
the navy.
The committee took no action on the bill,
which mas not as yet been introduced in
Congress.
