MY Dear Mr.. President:
..The account of the engagement, on
Mount Dajo, on the Island of Jolo, be
tween our forces and a large band of Moro
robbers, in which the fighting lasted 1or
three or four days, showed such a large
loss among the Moros as to give rise on
the part of the public press to the critl-
cism that there had been a wanton de-
struction by our troops of Moro lives,
including those of women and children.
Inoui. les were made of me by members
of the Senate and House of Representa-
tives in respect to the matter. Accord
ingly, | yesterday directed that the toi-
lowing telegram be sent to General Wood;
eft is charged that there was a wan
ton slaughter of Moros, men, women and
children, In the fight in Jolo at Mount
Dajo. l wish you would send me at once
all the particulars in respect to thls mat
ter stating exact facts
General Woods answer came today Ii
seems to show to me most clearly that
the unfortunate loss of life of the men,
women and children among the Moros
was wholly unavoidable, in view of their
deliberate use of their women and chill
dren in actual battle, and their fanatical
and savage desire that their women and
children should perish with them If defeat
were to come They seem to have ex-
hibited in their fight the well known
+raocbar,y of the uncivilized Mohammedan

Production Slightly curtalled.

Production Slightly Curtalieo'
New York, March 1A-The Iron Age
will say tomorrow:
statistically the pig iron industry re-
mains in very good shape, with produc-
ton slightly curtailed and stocks ap-
parently still declining. The capacity OF
the furnaces in blast on March l was 47s, :
7s7 gross tons per week, as compared with
1872 ,156 tons per week on February l. Dur
ing February the furnaces of the steel
companies did not produce as heavily as
expected, making 1,216,76O tons, while the
merchant furnaces produced 677,272 tons.
The production in February, short
month, was 1S94O32 tons, as compared
with 2,06S, 1893 tons in January, the record
month.
Partial reports indicate that stocks are
still falling off slightly in the northern
districts Full returns from the mer-
chant furnaces of Alabama, Virginia,
Tennessee and Georgia show that stocks
on hand which amounted to 144s52 tons
on jan l, 1906, fell to 110066 tons on Feb.
1, and 102 351 tons on March l. The south
ern companies made every effort to ship
iron prior to March l, when the advance
in freight rates went into effect.
The uncertainties as to fuel supply are
having considerable effect on the pig iron
markets. A strike in the anthracite re-
gions does not usually seriously curtail
the output of pig iron.
Our records show that during the five
months anthracite coal strike of 1902,
the production of pig iron in the Scuyl-
kill. Lehigh, Lebanon and Susqnehanna
valleys and in New Jersey averages a
monthly curtailment of roughly 10000
TONS which would not very seriously dis
turb the industry. Current business in pig
iron is limited to early requirements and
there is a steady flow of moderate-sized
orders which are encouraged by the talk
of possible strikes among the coal miners.
Rail Trade Is Good.
In the rail trade some very good in
qUiries have again appeared. This in
cludes 30 900 for trans-continental line,

is 10000 tons for the Pere Marquette, and
1900 tons for the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas. carrying the orders for that line
to about 32.0 tons The requirements for
trolley lines continue exceedingly heavy.
Requirements for structural material
are still very heavy and promise to come
out in further quantities. During the first
half of the month the leading interests
booked 1900 tons and other mills are
taking large quantities. Bars have weak
ened further east and west, and there are
reports that s1.50. Pittsburg. has been
done for the good iron bars. In the cast
iron pipe industry some pretty good con-
tracts are being placed and some large
ones are in sight.

Washington, March IA cablegram
from General Wood regarding criticisms
of the recent battle of Mount Dajo, on
the Island of Jolo. together with corre-
spondenee between the President and
Secretary Taft on the subject, We're made
public today. General Woods eablegram
was in answer to one sent at the direc-
ton of Secretary Taft, who called at
tention to the criticisms of 'wanton
slaughter of Moros," and asked him to
send all the particulars.
General Wood s reply denies that there
was any wanton killing, and said con-
siderable number of women and children
were killed in the fight because they were
actually in the works when the assault
was made; that Moro women wore
trousers, and that children were used as
shields. The reply was sent by Secre-
tary Taft to the President with note
in which the secretary says that General
Wood seems to him to have shown most
clearly the unfortunate loss of life was
wholly unavoidable, to which the Presi-
dent replied that General Woods answer
is "of course entirely satisfactory"
Secretary Taft's communication to
President Roosevelt is as follows:

light Is more than FIVE feet across.
When the maximum power is being
used the lights have an intensity of
sixty thousand candle power, and its
rays can be thrown several miles,
Searchlights were originally adopt
ed to find torpedo boats at night. They
are now used also for signalling, to
discover man overheard, to aid nav
igation, and for many other purposes.
When man fells overheard from one
of the great ships at sea, the search
light is at once trained upon him, and
the ray is held there until he is picked
up by the boats.
In signalling shutter is attached
to the searchlight. This alternately
interrupts and prolongs or shortens
the period during which the light is
visible. BY this means the operator
is able to telegraph forty miles, using

Pointing Out A Distinction

The following anecdote recently
brought to Richmond by Georgia
woman is a true story:
A Boston couple were recreating
near Augusta, and met an old negro
woman to whom they took a fancy.
They invited her to pay them a visit
and the black woman accepted, especr
ialy as her eXpences were paid. In
due time she arrived in Boston and
was installed in the house Of the white
folks. She occupied one Of the best
rooms, and ate at the same table with
her hostess. At one Of the meals the
hostess said:

Mrs. Jones. "My master was a gentle
man. He amt never let no nigger set

Disposal of Kitchen Waste.
The Commoner.

hS N9IlllIlpIlcI.
During the hot months, the garbage
from the kitchen should not be allow
ed near the house, as it makes an ideal
breeding place for flies and other in
sects. One has but to observe the
countless swarms Of flies lowering ov-
er such spot to realize what q men,
ace it is to the health of the family.
The most approved method Of dispos-
ing Of this refuse matter is by burn
ing. If this cannot be accomplished,
a good way to do is to bury all per-
ishable stuffs, and cart away any thing
that can neither be buried or burned,
depositing it in some place far from
the house. Aside from the unsightli-
ness of back yard strewn with rub
bish and rotting garbage, the gases
arising from the decomposition Of or
ganic matter are very injurious to
health, and, in epidemics Of filth
diseases, a positive menace. IF no
other way keep garbage can in
which every refuse thing is deposited,
and empty it every day, in some place
remote from the house.

A Restful Drink,
The Commoner.'

The Commoner.
One of the best drinks for tired
person is bran water. It is prepared
as follows: Stir one teacupful Of
clean, sweet bran into a quart of wat
er letting it stand for six hours, or
even longer, stirring occasionally.
When ready, pour off and add ice, or
drink without, as preferred or conven-
lent. A little lemon juice will add
to the flavor, and it will be found to
possess wonderful resting qualities.
There will be no disagreeable "after-
math" to drinks of this kind.
