MOROS MUST Be QU|ETED
Order in the Philippines De.
ponds on Their Subjugation.
ANTI.AMERICAN FEELING
Engagement in Which McNally
Was Killed Shows Natives
Unfit for Self. Government.
From The Tribune Bureau.l

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Details OF the en-.
gagement in which Captain McNally AMI
six other men were killed by the Moros
on January g. were received to-day from
Major General j. Franklin Bell COM
mandng the Philippine division OF the
army.
The battle was, as told in The
Tribune on Monday, due to the effort TO
disarm the Moros under the order of the
Governor Of Moro province, issued Sep
TENDER s. 1911, and had no political sig
nificance. although the incident is an Illus
tration of the incapacity Of the Filipinos
for self-government. There is, of course,
distinction between the MorOs and the
other natives, but II is recognized that the
Moros. about 10000 strong. must be sub
dued before independence" can be given
II is estimated that between forty and
fifty Moros were killed In the engage
ment General Bells report of the battle
consisted principally OF a message re-
ceived by him from Brigader General
John ]. Pershing, commanding the De-
rartment of Mindanao. His message
read:
I'm reference to the action against the
Sahipas Gotta six miles west OF Joio'

pine Scouts, the 10th Company OF Philip

There is no definite information here
regarding Sahpac. but 1t is assumed that
he Is one OF the numerous deserters from
the constabuary who is IT large in the
vicinity of Jolo. officials of tne War Dc
partment say that the Moros need onIy
arms to make them q dangerous PROPOSE
ton, as they are treacherous, and any
leader against the American troops or
seml-civilized natives has no trouble III
getting many recruits.
Brigadier General Frank Mcintyre,
chief OF the Bureau of lnsular Aralrs'
said to-day that the outbreak has no par
ticular political significance. as the Moros
are not affiliated with the Filipinos VINO
are seeking independence. His opinion Is
that the trouble is local. although reflect
ing the ugly mood OF thousands OF Moros'
who have no conception OF civilization.

PLOTTING TO TAKE JUAREZ
Hostile Move Seen Through
Rebel Pretence of Peace.
fFrom The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The Mexican stu
alton again has become menacing along
the American border. and the belief
prevails here that the rebel leaders are
planning TO retake Juarcz. Generals
Orozco and Salazar are thought to be In
sincere in their overtures for peace.
IF Salazar has only peaceable inten-
lions. why this concentration along the
border" suggests Brlgadier General T. T..
Steever. commanding tine Department Of
Texas, in a report to the War Depart
ment to-day.
According 10 General Steever. Salazar
has between 800 and 1000 men at Guada-
loupe. David dc la Fuente has several
hundred at Paomas, and Caraveo con-
trolls the Mexican Central at Candelaria'
forty-seven miles south of Juarez.
About 800 federal troops are at Juarez.
but the former rebel capital Is isolated
from Chihuahua. from which the only
armed relief can come, because both rail-
roads are in control OF the rebels. The
rebels have cut off practically all railroad
and telegraph communication between
Juarez and southern points.
Steps have been taken 10 protect HI
Paso and other American territory within
the range Of the expected attack. One
official predicted to-day that the rebels
would make an onslaught on Juarez this
week.
There is suspicion that the revolution
airy leaders are emboldened by the fact
that President Taft who has held firm
position OF non-interference. with the pro-
viso that American interests must not
suffer, is about to retire and perhaps
would not adopt drastic measures In the
closing DAYS of his administration.

DOESN'T LIKE SlUGC|NG|
But SuIzer Won't Say What He
Will Do in "Chick" Rose Case.
ASKS COMMISSION REPORT
Governor Quoted as Declaring
He Will Not Stand for
Brutal Prizefights.
lBy Telegram 70 The Tribune. ]

Albany. Jan. Ex-Governor Sulzer de-
clined tonight 10 say what action he in
tended To take relative to the death OF
Chick Rose. who died as the result OF
a prizefight in Brooklyn with Sailor"
Smith. He has told several persons re-
Gently that he would not interfere with
the prizefight law in any way. so long as
boxing matches did not become smuggling
bouts. But, according to some who have
talked with him. he was emphatic in his
declarations that he would not stand for
brutal prizefights.
When a Tribune reporter asked the
Governor what he expected to do about
this match. he said:
Il had not heard Of this fight before,
and thank YOU for calling 1t to my attcn-
ton. / will call Il to the attention OF the
members of the Boxing Commission. and
will walt for their report before deciding
on any action. ! shall ask them to make
full investigation, and my action will
be determined by their report"
The Governor was quoted recently by a
man, who said he had long talk with
him about the, boxing situation. as say
ing that II it came to his notice there was
general brutality in the boxing exhibits.
he would follow the example OF Governor
Dix and recommend the repeal OF the
Frawley law.
Senator Frawley was asked at that time
II he thought the Legislature would ac-
cept such a recommendation from Gov
ernor Sulzer when 1t had not from Gov
ernor Dix.
Boxing isn't pink tea" replied Frav-
ley. with laugh. THE boxers aren't
kicking about conditions. and In my judy
ment there isn't half as much brutality
about boxing bouts as in a football game.
The real trouble in the boxing situation
to-day Is that II looked like good money
and a lot Of people went into II who
overcrowded the field Some Of them
= making any profit and they're sor
II don't think there Is anything serious
in the situation Of the boxers themselves.
and don't believe any Investigation will
show reason for the Governor to urge the
repeal of the law. I think that law has
come to stay"
