ATTACK WAS WELL PLANNED.
Com pleteness OF the Victory Proves This
Natives Loss UndereSiimated?

WASHINGTON, March 9.--In an exceedingly
fierce engagement a cooperating force of
American soldiers and blueiaCkets, together
with a detachment Of the Philippine native
CO lstabulary, storned a hostile Moro for
tress in the crater of Mount Daio. on the
Island Of Jolo, ~eXter1ninated the enemy,
killing about GOO, and captured the mountain
The engagement will probably put an end
to the depredations which have been carried
on by the Moros from Mount Dajo for the
last eight months.
The American losses were fifteen killed
and thirty-nine wounded; the native con-
~stabulary had three killed and many
wounded, making the total casualties on
the American side, including the natives,
eighteen killed and ffty-two wounded.
The engagement began or the afternoon
Of March Q and ended on the morning Of
March 8. Mount Dajo is 2,1oO feet high and
the way to the top Is most difficult. Ridges
Of lava and a growth Of heavy timber make
the going very hard, and the last few hum
dred feet of the ascent is at an angle OF
fifty degrees. But up over it all the Ameri-
cans went and VIGOROUSLY concluded what
was undoubtedly the most serious engage
ment In the islands for several years.
Army officers here, who are familiar
with the place where the fight occurred,
say that the soldiers must have had an ex-
oeedingly hard time of 1t. That this iB
30 Is made very clear by the statement
in the despatch received from Major-Gen
Wood at the War Department to-day.
He says that the artillery was taken up
for 800 feet by the use OF block and tackle.
1t Is presumed here that the Tw~enty-eighth
battery Of field artillery. the Sixth Infantry
and the crew Of the gunboat Pampanga
were involved in the fight, although the
dispatches have made no announcement
Of just what forces participated. The
conclusion is reached by the fact that the
officers who were wounded belonged TO
these organizations.
Major-Ge Ter Wood, commanding the Philip
pines Division, and Brig Gen. Bliss. COM
handing the Department Of Mindanao, In
which the island Of Jolo is, were both
present at the engagement. Gen. Wood
Iuntil recently commanded the Department
Of Mindanao and took command Of the
Philippines Division only a few weeks ago.
Brig.-Gen. Tasker H. Bliss was sen TO
Mindanao after the transfer Of Gen. Wood.

engagement came early To-Day in a dss-

goods on her which Mrs. Mulhall had not
declared. A quantity Of fine Valenciennes
lace was found wrapped neatly about her
legs under her stockings and about her
waist. Other expensive dress goods were
sewed in her petticoat and even in her hat.
In her blouse were some Russian sable
skins.
She was taken to the Custom House from
the steamship pier, but refused to say any
thing when brought to the Surveyors
office. She was then taken to the Federal
Building and arraigned before United States
Commissioner Shields.
Lawyer Jerome Hess. who appeared for
her, denied that she had any intention of
smuggling. He explained that she was
returning from her regular spring tour to
Paris to get ideas for the coming summer
She had brought with her several trunks
full of made up gowns which she intended
to use as models for other creations. These
she had declared.
She was held in g. 500 bail, which was
furnished by Hugh McCreery, a plumber,
OF pa East F~ifty-seventh street.
