General Wood Reports That Power
of MOrOs Is Broken.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Il. - General
Wood, commanding the department of
Mindanao, Philippine division, In his
annual report to the war department
says that the troops Of the department
have been in the field a great portion
of the year queling armed uprisings
and preventing slave trade and kindred
abuses. He says that in almost every
instance actual fighting was initiated
by the Moros.
"The conditions among the Moros
throughout the department are gener-
ally peaceful" says General Wood, who
adds:
"The establishment of civil govern
ment and the extension over them of
certain laws and regulations have
caused some excitement and at times
serious resistance. especially the law
prohibiting slavery. In some sections
active hostility has been engendered by
our presence, especially in the Lake
Lanao region, where almost constant
murderous attacks on workingmen and
soldiers We're the RUS until the effects
Of the recent expeditions to the Taraca
side of the lake, combined with eXDe-
ditions to other sections Of the Lanao,
were felt by the Moros.'
The power of the Moros Of that sec
ton he says, has been completely bro
ken.
The prompt crushing Of HnssnnS up
rising has made deep impression or
the people, and the abrogation of the
Bates agreement has done much to
bring TO an end the unfortunate condi-
tons which existed under it,
Datto Ais party the report adds. is
the only band of Moros now openly
hostile, and it IS small and is being fol-
lowed by troops and scouts. General
Wood says it is believed there will not
be any very serious resistance Of au-
thority by the NIoroS in the future but
there will be constant work of police
character requiring the use of troops
and conStabulary.
The report shows that trials by gen
eral courts martial have diminished
for enlisted men and increased for Off
GERS.
General Wood recommends encour-
agement of the islands local shipping
interests. the uSa Of Il repeating shot

MRS. CHADWICK EXCUSED.
Her Counsel VIII Not Allow CIcve-
land Woman TO Testify.


CLEVELAND. o., Dec. II. - Mrs.
Cassie L. Chadwick was brought into
bankruptcy court here yesterday after
noon in the bankruptcy proceedings
against her, but was excused from tes-
tifying because of Illness. Whether
Mrs Chadwick will again be sum
moned will depend on counsel for Re
oeiver Nathan Loeser, whose attor
neys are expected to take up the mat
ter. Should Mrs. Chadwick again be
brought into court 1t is unlikely that
she will give any testimony. If she
does II will be against the advice of
her attorney, who refuses even TO allow
her TO be sworn rs a witness.
Mrs. Chadwick was brought into the
courtroom by several deputy mar
shals.
Mrs. Chadwick became more nervous
as the attorneys argued and seemed
IN the verge Of faintine Soon after
the announcement was made that she
was excused she returned to the Jail

MANY
HOBOES
The Exodus Now Seems to be
Towards st. Louis.
A Great Deal of Annoyance Caused
Railroad Men-Many Vicious
Tramps.

Railroad men report an unusually
large emigration of tramps just now,
not alone because of the annual hi
geria towards the North, but prinoi-
pally on account of the Worlds Fair,
which seems to he attracting great
many of them to st. Louis.
There has been great change in
the tramp genius in recent years.
Formerly uufortunates, or men too
lazy to work or too fond of rowing TO
work, were about the only ones found
in the tramp class.
Now many of the hobos belong to
the vicious classes, such as "yegg
men, and commit all sorts of crime.
They wander from place to place,
stealing rides and anything else they
can find worth taking, and in many
cases commit murder when efforts are
made to spprehend them.
Only day or two ago one struck
an l. Q. conductor over the eye with
pair of brass knucks land ran. An
other who had come ali the way from
Mississippi scaled in a box car was ar
rested in the yards here and fined SEQ.
Few of them really tramp" nows-
days. They all ride, and ride as cheap
as millionaires or railroad magnates.

The Clyde Lay Helpless at the
Wharf All Night.
The Negro Lsborers Are Demanding
More Money-In st. Louis They
Want S75 q Month.
HUNGARIANS SUBSTITUTED

The rousters on the steamer Clyde,
due to leave last evening at 6 O'Clock
for Tennessee river, struck for more
money and this morning the boat was
still at the her wharf here with no la
Dor to take her out The longshore-
men, or those who work about the le-
wee, but do not 60 out on the boats,
loaded the boat yesterday, but roust-
ers are needed to go out and load and
unload at the various landings.
The st. Louis and Tennessee river
Packet company, according to some Of
the rousters, paid them $50 month,
and they want $40. 1t is expected
that the boat will be able to get out
some time today.
The question of securing labor for
steamboats,, now that the river are all
at good stages and the big boats are
all running again, is beginning to
trouble most all the river men. In Pa
ducsh the many tie boats keep the sup
ply of laborers pretty well exhausted.
The Bonanza. one of the Cincinnati
and Memphis boats, had a strike near
Henderson this week, but finally in
duced the stevedores TO resume work.
The City of Savannah, which was
here yesterday, for Tennessee river,
got about the last to be had in st.
Louis, and yesterdays Globe Demo-
crat said;
An innovation IN labor circles on
the river front began yesterday with
the departure of the steamer Grey Ea-
gle with a crew of forty Hungarian
roustabouts. As the boat steamed
away from the wharf row of negro
rousters stood on the brow of the le-
wee, Watching the receding vessel
with evident dismay.
The steamboat men have determined
to try to reduce the scale of wages
from s75 a month, the salary demand
ed by the negroes, to s45. The Lee
line steamers and the City of Savan-
nah OF the Tennessee river line, which
left Monday, were able to secure
enough rousters at the $40 rate. They
apparently exhausted the supply OF
"cheap men" among the oolored gen.
try, and when the Grey Eaglo and
Chester were ready to leave yesterday
the wages were boosted" back to SIS
n month.
Captain W. II. Leyhe of the Grey
Eagle and B. Burton of the Chester
determined not to pay the wages, and
the Chester left with only about five
roustabouts. Capt. Leyhe consulted
with labor agency and soon had NOR,
Hungarians than he wanted. TIT
foreigners were apparently glad to gel
work at the rate of $3.50 day anC
board. Had the Chester waited hal
an hour she could have secured all tn,
men she wanted from the overflow
that sought positions on the Grey Ea
gle.
The roustabouts have no union. but
for the last two or three years they
have been getting from $50 to 500 a
month. If their demands were MOI
met they simply refused to go, and
the boatmen, being obliged to 90. US
