Gen. Carter has but recently returned
from the Philippines. where he saw
several years of active services
Speaking of the inhabitants OF Jolo,
Gen. Carter said
"The natives, who are the direct
descendants of the old Malay pirates
who for years terrorized the Malay
archipelago, for the most part refused
to do this. They built little stone
forts in the heavily wooded portions
Of the island and then detied the SOL
diers to collect the taxes.
"The city of Jolo itself Is surround,

The engagement opened on the
morning Of March 6 and lasted two
days, the troops dragging artillery up

of a continuous fire of bullets arrows
and spears.
The casualties on the American
side were eighteen killed and fifty
