WOMEN DIE IN
MEMS APPAREL
MORO FEMALES ARE KILLED BY
MISTAKE
General Wood Declares That There
Was No Wanton Destruction
at the Battle of
DaJo Hill
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
MANILA, March 13.--Major Gen.
Wood, who has arrived here, has an
nounced that he assumes full respon-
sibility for the fight against the Moros
at Dajo hill near Jolo. He said that
there was no wanton destruction of
women and children in the fight, though
many of them were killed by force of
necessity, because the Moros used them
as shields in the hand-to-hand fight
ing. Maj. Gen. Wood declared that
many of the women wore male attire,
and their sex could not be distin-
guished.
Another confusing cause was the des-
peration with which the women fought,
the priests having worked all of the
Moros to a religious frenzy. Many of
the Moros feigned death and butchered
the American hospital men who were
relieving the wounded. Gen. Wood
said: Neither in this nor in any fight
has an American soldier killed woman
or child, except in a close action when
it was impossible to distinguish SEX
Secretary of War Taft cabled for q
full explanation concerning the deaths
of the women and children, and Gen.
Wood had sent a lengthy reply of
which the foregoing is the substance.

overfowing for a time during the
cloudburst.
The management feared that the
water would get into the cellar and
flood the boilers, and immediate steps
were taken to prepare an embankment
of sandbags.
The subsistence of the flood was al
most as rapid as the rise and for
tunately the boiler room was saved
from inundation.
Wrecker Is Wrecked
The storm last night worked havoc
with the car lines on East First street.
Two cars were washed off the track
near First and Indiana streets and the
wrecker which was sent to the scene
of the accident also left the rails.
The water poured down the street
nearly three feet in depth and the pas
sengers on the stalled cars were almost
compelled to swim to the high ground.
Between Anderson and Utah streets
the water rolled in a turbid stream,
making it impossible for pedestrians to
cross.
No Lunch Wagons
The young fellows who are compelled
to remain out late at night looked in
vain last evening for the tamale and
found in large numbers on the down.
town corners.
Many were the words of dissatisfac-
tion and disgust expressed by the regu-
lars on not being able to locate any of
the usual eating houses on wheels.
Had the stands for the promotion Of
indigestion stationed themselves in
their usual haunts they would have un-
doubtedly received a large trade, as
many people waiting on the street cor
ners for homeward-boun ,ars would
have been glad to have participated in
a duel with sinkers and other edibles.
GaIlants Were Busy
Champions for the fair sex were kept
busy yesterday hunting out dry spots
and places on the principal downtown
thoroughfares where they could safely
escort their charges across the streets.
Many were the queer sights resulting
from weather conditions. Women of
all ages and sizes were carried across
the muddy streams by gallants who on
some corners had organized for the oc-
casion. Others furnished planks.
Fair girls and the women were loud
in their praises to the men who helped
them to places of safety while at other
times and places the would-be Walter
Raleighs got frigid looks for suggesting
the idea of a human ferry.

SAN PEDRO DREDeER SINKS
Will Be Raised at once-Piers Suffer
Heavily

Special to The Herald.
SAN PEDRO, March 12.-The effects
of yesterdays hard wind, which was
still blowing most of the day, are quite
apparent.
About 300 feet of trestle work of tie
big breakwater at the outer harbor
went out during the night and carried
with it a large amount of lumber and
piling which had been piled upon it.
The stone work was not injured and
the damage will be light at that spot.
The clam shell dredger Salt Lake,
recently purchased by the North Amer
lean Dredging company from the Pol
hemus company and repaired so that
it was just now in working order again,
caught fire in the gale last night and a
little later turned over at it's anchorage
near Deadmans island. 1t remained in
this condition until early this morning,
when it suddenly sank to the bottom
of the sea in about twenty-five feet of
water. The machine cost about $685. 900
not long ago, and it will now require a
large expenditure to raise it again and
get it in repair. Arrangements are
being made to commence the work of
raising it.
A portion of the Kerckhoff- Gunner
Lumber company's wharf, with about
100000 shingles piled on it, went down
yesterday because of the high waves
and many shingles were lost. Men were
at once put to work saving them. but
the tide was going out and it soon be-
came dark, so that few were recovered.
The pleasure pier at Brighton, about
one mile east ofsSan Pedro, was taken
out by the high waters today. 1t was
an inexpensive affair, running out into
the ocean about 800 feet, and was par
TALLY down in places.
The same kind of a pier at Terminal,
except longer and better, is much
pected to go any minute.
