PERSHING FIGHTING

BRIGAlDlER GENERAL is CON-
QUOTING ALONE HIS CAM
PAIGN IN philippines.

Washington, June 12.-General
Wood has cabled to Major General
Bell, commanding the Philippine di-
vision, for an immediate report on
the operations Brigadier General Per
shing is conducting against the Moros
in the Jolo Archipelago.
The war department knows moth
ing of the details of the operations,
as General Pershing has been given
free hand to deal with the prOb
lem Of disarming the Moros in his
own way, and the distance from Zam-
boanga, the Jolo capital, to Manila
is so great and the communications
SO uncertain that reports from the
scene are very meager
The general staff is considerably
disturbed by the mention of the sui.
tan of Jolo as leading the hostile
Moros, for it had been understood
that he had thrown his influence VITA
the Americans in the disarmament
program.

New York Is Pleased.

New York, June 12.-Secretary Nc
Adoo's overnight offer to issue
emergency currency completely sur
prised the financial district. None
Of the bankers would express an
opinion as to the subject but it was
clear that the secretary's announce
ment was interpreted, even before
his explanatory statement today, as
an act to reassure the legitimate in
terests Of the country, especially
those of mercantile ana industrial
character.
Local bankers believe that the Of
fer win have the effect Of releasing
large amounts Of time money, in
which a severe stringency was
threatening. No later than yester-
day over-year money was utterly
lacking in this market, while the
rates for four, five and six months
hardened preceptib1y.
One effect of the proposed meas
ure was sharp rally in stocks today,
and stock exchange houses reported
better investment demand than at
any time since the recent depression.
No small part Of the inquiry came
from out Of town sources, where the
effect Of Secretary McAdoo's an
nouncement appears to have been re-
eeived with greater encouragement
than in local circles.

The railroads counsel say that to
dispose Of the stock at present mar

sacrifice If loss is incurred it will
be as the result of wrongful action as

Judge sanborn asked the attorney
