MANILA, March 19.-Further inves-
tigation develops the fact that many
ome and children were saved in the
attack against Moro outlaws on Mount
Dajo recently. Those killed were killed
Mt long range by shell fire.
The attack was delayed six months
while Governor Scott was endeavoring
TO persuade the outlaws to surrender.
All overtures were ScOrned, and he
defiant attitude of the leaders of the
outlaws and the Arab priests persuad-
ed their followers that the government
would be unable TO dislodge them from
their fortress within two years.
Leading Moros in their desire for the
determination of the outlaws aided
the troops in the fight. Two hundred
Moros under the direction of leading
dattos formed columns and carried wa
ter to the troops.
The reports of company and troop
commanders to Major General Wood
show that every effort was made to
save women and children.
