The men, no matter what else they wear or fail to wear. have a scarf wound around the waist. in which they carry knife, of which they are several va rieties, the bolo, the barong and the kris being the most popular. The Moros above mentioned consented to having a snapshot taken. and their spokesman informed us in broken Eng fish that he had visited the St. Louis exposition Captain Mccoy. one of

 I have referred to the killing of the sergeant and mentioned the reason sometimes given. It Is to be regretted that we occasionally lose men for req sons that reflect upon us. Governor Devore, whose Jurisdiction extends over part of Mindanao. officially reports the killing of one soldier in a quarrel which grew out of an attempt by the soldier to secure native wine without paying for it.
 The latter part ot the ride was through a series of small hills covered with cogon grass. The soil looks as though 1t might be very fertile, and we passed one little ranch where an Amer ican had set out some hemp plants. but there was little evidence of cultivation along the line.

 Singapore, Jan. 22.-The term Moro Is used to describe the Mohammedan Filipino and includes number of tribes occupying the large island of Mn. danao and the smaller islands adjacent to it and those of the Sulu archipeia-. go.
 The northeast corner of Mindanao is separated from the island of Leyte by the Surigao strait, and that part Of Mindanao has a considerable sprink- ling of Christian Filipinos, but both that island and the Sulus can be con- sidered Moro country. The Americans recognize the difference between the two groups of islands and administer government according to different plans. Civil government has been es. tablished in the northern islands, and except where ladronism prevails. law and order reign. There are in some places. as in northern Luzon. wild tribes in the mountains, but these are so few in number and so different from the civilized Filipinos that they do not enter into the solution of tho Philip pine problem.
 In Mindanao. however. and the other Moro provinces, war1ike tribes have been in control. They have furnished a large number of pirates and have frequently invaded the northern island. carrying back Filipino slaves. They never acknowledged the authority of Spain and succeeded in keeping most of the islands in the southern group free from Spanish control Our coln- try probably exercises authority over more Moro territory than Spain ever did. and yet our sauthority is limited and we employ the military form of rather than the civil.
