THE garrison at Jolo consists of four
companies of infantry, four troops of
cavalry and one battery of artillery.
In other islands of the Jolo group there
are two companies of Moro conStabu
larry, which rendered admirable service
in this recent engagement and at other
times. This in itself shows the loyalty
of the peaceful 'Moros and their eager
ness to have order and safety of life
and property preserved.
with the exception of the two COM
panies of constabulary the whole mill
tary force is garrisoned at Jolo. The
troops are not scattered throughout the
remote districts. In many places the
natives see white soldiers only at great
intervals. We manage them as far as
possible through their own head men.
This is constantly becoming more prac-
ticable, and the military service is sim

1t is impossible to foretell the wild ca
reer of Moro running amuck, for
this may occur at any time, and the
man will simply continue cutting down
all those who stand In his path until
he is killed himself. A JuramentadO is
u religious fanatic who has gone be-
fore a priest and has been in way
ordained to kill Christians. These Jul
ramentados figure for the most part
only in holy wars. We seldom en-
counter them. but there is constant

committing suicide. They start on a
wild career, which Is continued until
they are themselves killed.

The Jolo natives are much tiercer. |
They have been fighting people Tor |
centuries, and at one time the sultan |

of Paragua and the greater part of |

the instruction following the war with
Spain. The Filipino in fighting will
take a position and when hard pressed
will literally fade away. When the
Moros are attacked they seek strong
position, which they fortify.. and they
defend themselves to the last man.

When it rained for two or three days

| quently ideal walking weather for
| President Roosevelt, says Il Washing

The other day the president enter
| tanned several guests at luncheon and
as Mrs. Roosevelt had left for the south
it was n stag party. During luncheon
the president talked about his hunting
experiences and found that two of his
guests had hunted big game in several
parts of the world.
They We're Captain G. L. Radcliffe
of England, late of the First Life
guards, and Paul Niedieck, Germany.
Both visited Alaska two years ago,
and they were on their way to the ter
ritory again for the purpose of hunt
ing big game.
The president asked them TO go out
for walk with him later in the after
noon. Captain Radcliffe and Mr.. Me
dieck accordingly returned TO the White
House at 4 o'clock, and, entering car
riage with the president, were driven
city for distance of seven miles.

to alight, suggesting that they walk
back TO town with him. Under the presi-
dents leadership they Immediately left
the highway and soon crossed small
stream, President Roosevelt clearing ii
with a jump.
Now we will go right up here" said
the president, pointing to high bluff
thickly covered with rocks. small trees
and underground. Captain Radcliffe,
who is strong, well built man about
forty years old, who has had long ex-
perience on the widest mountain
trails, thought his host was joking, for
he laughed and said:
THAT is q rather hard route, don't
you know, Mr. President"
"Oh, no." exclaimed the president,
"this is all right" and he went up the
bluff on the run, catching at the brush
and small trees to support himself
The Englishman and German followed, |
resolved not to show the white feather, |
for the walk had just begun They |
had been advised by the president to |
wear their worst clothes, and the presi- |
dent himself was dressed in a coat and |
knee breeches which showed much |
wear.
The president walked a few PAGES
ahead all the way back to town, and
he selected the route. 1t was .'cross
country all the way, and there was
no turning out for hills. fences or
streams. Captain Radcliffe and Mr.. |
Niedieck returned to their hotel lust |
after dark. The L glishman said he
had had an unusual experience, and

For centuries the center of trouble
in this part of the Philippines has been
the Jolo archipelago. The Spaniards
never really governed the Moros. They
hardly attempted II. Sometimes they
would be compelled to leave, but they
always came back, for the last time in
1876, but the administration of such
laws as existed was left entirely to the
sultan. This meant that the traditional
custom of depreciation and pillage went
on without any restriction except that
imposed by the sultan and the tribal
leaders, who punished whom they de-
sired and did not punish those offenders
whom they did not wish to harm. I'm
der the Bates treaty, entered into soon
after our occupation of the islands, the
government was left to the control of
the sultan. Prior to 1903, when the
civil government of the philippines was

established, the American authorities
could interfere only In cases of crimes
against foreigners.
