MOROS, In FIGHT, USED
WOMEN AS SHIELDS
Civil Employe Of Army Tells Of Killing
Of 1000 Natives BY Gen.
PershinS's Soldiers.

San Francisco, July 3o.-The story o.
the killing of 1000 Moros in the Philip
pine Islands by Gen. Pershing's soldiers
was related here today by John Mclean.
a civil employe Of the United States
army quartermaster's department, who
arrived from Manila on the steamc.
Ponsia.
Mclean said 1856 women and $40 chill
dren were killed in one days fighting.
When the Moros saw tie battle was lost
they held their women and children in
front of them as shields, and the IRE
from the rifles and machine guns Of the
troops moved them down by scores The
news Of the fighting was strictly GEN.
sored at Manila.
THE American and philippine officials
only allowed the most meager reports to
leak out of Jolo while the treacherous
Moro bandits were being exterminated. ;
said Mclean. Three correspondents
who managed to reach the seat Of war
were arrested on orders Of Gen. PERISH
ing and when left the islands they were
in danger Of being imprisoned for at.
tempting to violate the censorship.
'At the battle of Bagsak, the scenes
during and after the fighting were hoe
rible. As the American troops rushed
up the side Of the mountain to the mouth
Of the crater, the Moros seized women
and children, many mere infants, and
held them up to shield themselves HUI.
dreds Of them were literally shot t.
pieces. 1t was believed that every Moro
that took part in that battle was killed.
