Washington, March 19-Secretary
Taft has received cablegrams from
Major General Wood at Manila, rela-
tive to the Mount Dajo fight as fol-
lows: If more detailed information
concerning the facts connected with
the Mount Dajo fight is desired / sug-
gest that Major Hugh L. Scott be
called upon. He is thoroughly fa-
miliar with the situation, having spent
eight months In an attempt to get
these people off the mountain without
fighting. The sensational cables sent
to the United States relating to the
fight were made up in Manila There
has been no reference in any cable
from Mind;mao to the killing OF wo-
men and children. On receipt
Of Colonel Andrews condensed
report from me in Washington an
American newspaper cabled for de-
tails. The reporters here had no other
information than was contained in my
report to Andrews and supplied the
sensational features"
The Major Scott referred to has been
on leave Of absence and has just ar
rived in Washington to the secretary's
summons. He was referred to in some
of the Manila cablegrams as having
really caused the present trouble at
Mount Dajo by reason of the exercise
of too great leniency towards brigand

in wages, and others standing posi-
lively against any advance whatever.

For years my brother. who was

was called on to write composition,
the subject being the Sandwich Is

"He wrote her ali interesting letter
ON the subject, using the new method
Of smelling. This letter gave much
valuable information that the other
scholars could not obtain. and was the
means of my niece winning the prize.
For days she studied the letter and
spent much time in committing 1t TO
memory. She was asked why she did
not read the letter or submit it In COM

ashamed to do so. as it would show
