WASHINGTON HEARS NEWS.
Most Important Engagement in PhII-
 Ippines in Years.


 ippines in Years.
 Washington, March 9.-Not because of the casualties of the American forces engaged. though they were more numerous than in any conflict in the Philippines for several years past, but rather because of the extraordinarily large number of natives killed, the news of the battle of Mount Dajo was received at the war department (and the naval department as well, for the blue Jackets were in the thick of the ffght) with intense interest.
 The first authentic news of the bat tie came through the Associated Press reports, though at the same time the cinher experts of the war department were busily engaged in trying to un- ravel a long report which had come direct from Manila by cable. This message was from Colonel Andrews, the military secretary at army head quarters at Manila, who had received his data by interisland cable from Zamboango. where the commander in chief of the Philippine division, Major General Leonard Wood, happened to be.
 Secretary Taft was at the cabinet meeting when the official cablegram was finally deciphered and a copy of if was sent at once to the executive offices and the President and members of the cabinet listened with keenest interest to it's reading by Secretary raft. After his return to the war de- partment, Secretary Taft commenting upon the engagement said:
 General Wood appears to have been there by accident or rather without any idea of what was going to happen. I had a cablegram from him saying there were some matters calling him Into the Southern islands but he would nos be out of reach of the cable and I

suppose when he gU there he found the trouble on.
 This data relative to General Woods movement was produced by the Sec retary in response to a suggestion that possibly General Wood may have gone to Jolo with the intention of or ganizing punitive expedition against the Moros in the mountain fastnesscs, who had held out for the past two years against the American forces. The Secretary said:
 Mount Dajo, referred to in the de- spatch, is only 2,100 feet high. The JoIo archipelago is inhabited by two races of people. the Jolo and the Sis ma the former a Malay people long inhablting the Jolo islands. who had proselyted the Mohammedanism. The Sultan lives in a natives town near the city of Jolo and is the nominal head of all Moros there and in Mindanao. The latter recognize him, however, on- ly at their convenience when it suits their purposes.
 Two or three dattos have always resisted the Sultan's claims and therc has always been a state of war be- tween them. With three warning fac tions in the islands the jealousy of the support of the Americans for one side is quite enough to keep them in a con- stant state of turbulence and fighting. suppose enc of the factions thought tt had got together men enough and that they were absolutely immune, so they were just cleaned out.
 By the way. it is worth noting that the constabulary, which is highly praised in General Woods despatch for its work. was in that section made up of Moros themselves. It has never been difficult to enlist them in our ser- vice to fight against their own people when called upon, probably owing to the number of factions in the islands.
 Tn thls particular case the heavy mortality among the Moros engaged would probably be explained by their method of fighting. The Moros, on tho appearance of an enemy, sound the alarm, and gather everybody inside their forts, where they will fight to the end. Probably the loss in this case was caused by the fire of the soldiers artillery. The blue jackets were pro- bably called upon to assist Tn getting this artillery up the steep heights of the mountain because of fNtheir knowl- edge of block and tackle.
 No: have not the least fear that this movement will extend to the oth- CT islands, and in fact I think that the heavy blow struck the Moros will have a strongly deterrent effect upon them"

List of Those Stationed Near scene of Battle.
 Washington, March 9.--The list of troops stationed in the Philippines at the War Department shows that on January 20 tho following troops were stationed on the island of Jolo:
 Companies and l.. 4th Cavalry, and the 2sth Battery Field Artillery: Com panies l. K, l. and M of the goth In- fartry had been stationed at Jolo, but are understood to have been relieved by battalion of the 9th infantry, com manded by Colonel Duncan in January. Colonel Duncan was the senior officer on the field, save Major General Wood and Brigadier General Bliss. Assum- ing that the organizations were up to their normal strength, there were about 490 soldiers in the action besides the naval contingent, the strength of which Is so far unknown. It Is believed, how evere. that owing to the sick list and other causes, there were probably not more than 400 of the military engaged. The strength of the constabulary is also unknown.
 The official dispatch does not enable tn eauthorities here to place exactly the scene of the combat, The only crater known on the Island of Jo1o Is well toward the center of the island and some distance removed from the capital, which Is on the seacoast. There is, however, near the city of Jolo, dist ance only five miles, a mountain an- swering closely. save for the crater. the description of that in the official dispatch.
 This mountain was controlled by two Dattoe-Calbi and Joakinine, the latter one of the chieftains who signed the famous Bates treaty. The mountain is very steep and at its apex is Moro fortress, which had never been taken by white troops
 Lieutenant-GeneraI Bates. chief of staff, who has had extensive services in the southern islands of the Philip pine archipelago, and is as well &C., quainted with the Jolo country prob ably as any officer here, has no fear that this trouble will extent through out the group. In the first place, he says there is no homogeneity among these island troops. strong jealousies exist and 1t has been impossible for them to cohere in opposition to the whites. It is also believed hera from tho official dispatch that the Moros at- tackled were really set of robbers and that the action was undoubtedly pre- cipitated by General Woods determIn- ation to exterminate them at any cost if they could not be otherwise subdued.

PASADENA, July 15.-The commit
tee in charge Of the proposed improve

believed will prove popular.
1t is nothing more nor less than the
turning of the entire street over to the

If the request is granted the COM
mittee proposes to hire men to repair
clean and sprinkle the roadway at the
expense of the residents and without
expense to the city.
The project to discontinue sprinkling
and to oil the street will in that case
he dropped, and the residents will try
the experiment of running their own
street without interference by the
city. ...
It is believed that the roadway can
be thus kept in better condition than

The committee has also decided to
ask the council to make the street a
