MORO BAND WIPED OUT.
Americans Lose Nine Men Killed and
TWenty-one Wounded.

Manila, May 20.-The Moro outlaws
against whom General Leonard Wood
has been campaigning have been
killed in action, together with all the
principals. The outlaws were support
ers and followers of the sultan of Sulu.
The large chiefs Of the island of Jolo
were not involved. The outbreak was
purely an aggregation of piratical out
laws and disorderly characters Of Sulu
and the other islands stretching down
to Borneo. The position selected by
the outlaws for defense was in almost
impenetrable jungles and exceedingly
strong, prohibiting the use of artillery
and necessitating close contact and an
assault in two instances. General
Woods forces sustained loss of nine
killed and twenty-one wounded. The
constabulary had two killed.
General Wood has returned to Fam.
boanga with the troops.

MURDERER WILLIAMS
MUST STRETCH HEMP
WILLIAM WILLIAM, MURDERER OF
BOY AND BOYS MOTHER
TO DIE.
WAS SENTENCED IMMEDIATELY
AFTER HEARING VERDICT OF
THE JURY.

st. Paul, May 20.-The man Will
liam Williams, plumber, who was ar
rested some time ago in this city on a
charge of having murdered a sixteen
year old boy and his mother at the
home of the latter has been found
guilty.
The jury was out but short time
when they returned with a verdict of
guilty and thereupon Judge Lewis
sentenced Williams to hang.
The crime for which Williams will
hang has peculiar features about it.
He is said to have been a rowing
plumber and having met young John
Keller became unusually attached to
him and unusual proceedings were
limited at. The man wanted the boy
to leave his home and go with him and
the mother objected. She also OBJ
jected to having the boy associate with
Williams.
Williams thereupon went to the KEEL
Ter home and shot both son and mother
and killing both.
He is said to have remarked that he
did not realize what he was doing and
he made no attempt to escape. 1t is
further stated that he has said he
could not leave the boy, he thought so
much of him.

FEARS JAPANESE INVASION.
French Deputy From Indo.China Sub
mits Remarkable Report.

mits Remarkable Report.
Paris, May 20.-M. Francois Delon-
Gle (Republican), deputy for Indo-
China, has submitted to the special
parliamentary committee on naval at
fairs remarkable report on the urgent
necessity for strengthening the de-
lenses of Indo-China against the peril
of Japanese invasion.
"mdo-China," he says, has only
two enemies to fear, namely, Japan
alone or China encouraged and sup
ported by Japan. The former consti-
tutes, real danger, for Japan has
much to gain and little to risk and her
isolated position makes her almost in
vulnerable to us. She could in few
weeks throw 100000 men into Indo-
China and easily reinforce this first
landing party. The first phase OF such
q struggle would consist of Japan's
efforts to secure mastery of the sea
in order to reinforce her troops. Ow-
ing to Japan's great superiority in
naval forces in Far Eastern waters our
feeble division would not risk de-
CAS1RS UdILlS Jul WOulu 1dll UdCh upOA
our only naval base, Saigon. There it
would be blockaded, as the Russians
were blockaded within Port Arthur.
With our division thus bottled up
Japan could oppose the junction of the
blockaded warships with the relief
squadron and having secured the
mastery of the sea Japanese trans
ports would be free to land invading
forces. She has two admirable an
chorages ready for her transports at
Kamranh bay and Port Dayot. She
probably would take the first as nearer
to Saigon. Japan would thus be es-
tablished upon the sea route connect
ing Tonquin and Cochin-China and
who could prevent it? In the present
condition of our defenses could we re.
sist such an attack? Evidently not
and within a brief time Indo-China
would be the prey of the invasion"
The report concludes. with asserting
that it would be puerile to disregard
the gravity of the situation. There.
fore, it is necessary to make large
sacrifices to place 1ndo-China in readi.
ness to meet the shock.

Chicago, May 2O..----Oflcials of the
Transfers union, while admitting that
the arbitration proposal of the team
owners would probably be accepted
by the Transfers Joint council, denied
that this was to be taken as showing
any weakness. on the part Of the
strike against. strikebound houses.
''To be sure this is arbitration of q
principle rather than a condition."
said A. J. Reed, secretary of the Furni-
ture Drivers union. 1T is bad thing
to arbitrate, for it sets a bad prece-
dent. However, in this case it may be
the equitable thing to arbitrate it SO
that general tieup of the teaming in
dustry may be avoided. If the prin-
ciple of delivery to strikebound houses
by union drivers is submitted to arbi-
tration in this case it will only be for
this one case and then solely to pre-
vent a general spread of the strike to
all the teaming interests in the city,"
T. J. Cayanaugh, one of the prom
inent team owners, said there was no
doubt in his mind that the teamsters
would agree to arbitrate the delivery
question, principle or no principle.
Victor w. Sincere, assistant secre-
'tary Of the Employers association,
said the Employers leaning com.
pany had reduced teaming work to a
system. The company has 2,10O wag-
.ons. making deliveries and, has. in. en-
ployment 1900 drivers. This is ex-
elusive Of 500 drivers employed by the
express companies.
Members of the aldermanic strike
committee made individual appeals
during: the day to employers to end
the strike. Some of the employers
were asked to make concessions to the
strikers. It was said the employers
replied they could not break away
from their association.

Washington, May 20.-Secretary

they do not intend to take advantage
Of the present situation by stocking
up heavily in ships and material in
anticipation of restrictive legislation
by congress at its next session.
It is. stated on authority that the
president and Secretary Taft would
gladly receive any instructions from
congress and execute them in the
spirit in which the legislation is con-

Taft and Chairman Shonts. They have
discovered that congress itself prac-

the house committee on military af-
fairs warmly approving" a pending
measure authorizing a preference to
American shipping in the Philippine
trade providing the charges made did
not exceed the prices paid to owners
of foreign vessels more than 10 per
cent. This measure was favorably re-
ported by the house committee on
military affairs, but was defeated on
the floor Of the house.
Some representations have been
made to the executive that If the exc
cution of the new policy is delayed
until congress reassembles directive
legislation will be had Immediately
thereafter. So the decision was reached
to make no abnormal purchases Of
material. while as to the needed ship

New York, May 20.-A battle with
pistols between a squad of harbor .po-

resulted in the capture of the latter
and the recovery of five bags of concha
beans valued at $1,000. The fight was
a thriller while it lasted. In answer
to an alarm from a railroad pier on the
North river six officers hurried there
in launch. Just as they approached
an open boat fitted with an engine
shot out of the darkness and headed
at full speed across the river. The
police called halt but the two pirates
crowded on power and dropped into
the bottom of their craft. Taking up
the chase the police opened fire, which
drew an instant response. The thieves
were not good marksmen, while their
boat was struck nearly every shot and
after a short chase they surrendered.
No one was wounded, although scores
of shots were exchanged
