MORO AMAZONS
FOUGHT LIKE MEN.
Dressed in Male Attire, and the
American Soldiers Were Unable
to DiffePentiate.

Manila, Mar. -Major-General
Wood, who has arrived here, an
nounces that he assumes full respon-
sibility for the determination of the
Moros at Dajo Hill, near Jolo. He
says there was no wanton destruc-
ton of women and children, though
many of them were killed by force Of
necessity because the Moros used
them as shields in the hand-to-hand
fighting. Many of the women wore
male attire and fought desperately,
so that their sex could not be dis
tinguished. The priests had worked
the Moros to a religious frenzy.
Neither in this or any other fight
has an American soldier killed
woman or child except in a close ac-
tion, when it was impossible to dis
tinguish sex" says Gen Wood.
Those Moros were absolute IA
natics. The men of the hospital corps
were in constant danger while trying
to minister to the native wounded
The Moros would feign death and
slash at the ambulance men and sur
geons with their knives. When our
men were climbing up the mountain
just below the summit, many of the
fanatics leaped headlong from the
edge of the crater upon the Ameri-
cans. Some OF them succeeded in

PEACE HANGS ON SPELLING.
Carnegie Leads Plan to Remove oh.
stacIcs to English.

New York, Mar. 15.-There will be
no universal peace until English is
the universal language. And Eng
lish will not be the universal Ian
guage until people can spell it. In
other words, hard-to-spell English
stands in the way of worldwide
peace. So saying, Andrew Carnegie
and a number of other distinguished
men in New York and elsewhere have
undertaken national movement for
radical reforms in English spelling.
They have organized q Simplihed
Spelling Board, with executive head
quarters in this city. Mr.. Carnegie
is to bear all the expense of the
organization.
They are going to take hold of a
large number of tongue-twisters like
''phlegm," SUBTLE" ''phthisis,"
right" blight" rough, Z" "bough,"
bought" and cough" and tear out
the silent letters so that even little
children can spell them with their
eyes closed and their hanus tied be-
hind their backs. They will do this
for themselves and will ask every
body else to do so too.
