Immediate Report Requested.

Gen. Wood, chief Of staff, has cabled
to Mai. Gen. Bell. commanding the Phil
ippine division. for an immediate report
upon the operations which Gen. Pershing
is conducting against the Moros in the
Jolo archipelago. The War Department
knows nothing of the details of these
operations and Ire officials are con-
siderably disturbed by the mention in
the press Of reports that the Sultan of
Jolo is leading the MOros, for it had
been understood all along he had
thrown his influence upon the side of
the Americans in the disarmament pro-
gram.

to know who told him to go to Mucklow
Hill to attack the town. and where he
got his ammunition for his gun He
said he just happened along there and
that most of his ammunition he bought
in Montgomery
AT this point two questions brought the
committee to it's feet and resulted in a
ruling that the witness need not answer
questions tending to incriminate him. At
torney Knight wanted to know if Walter
Dichl had ordered Seachrist to 90 to
MucixIow Hill for the battle. and if G.
= Parsons had furnished him and other
men with ammunition. Neither question
was answered Attorney knight urged
in vain that he expected to prove con
spiracy involving men now present be-
fore the committee connected with the
Mucklou Hill battles.
The committee hopes 10 finish the hear
inss here this week.

complete disarmament of the tribes in
the southern Philippines as a final step
toward permanent peace in the archi-
pelaso is the object of the present cam

under Brig. Gen. Pershing commanding
that department.
In the north disarmament has ixaen eff

that through the good offices of the Sui
tan of Jolo the Mohammedan tribes in
the Jolo group and in Mindanao might
likewise be induced to give up all their
weapons. Negotiations We're carried on
with the various dattos with the active
sympathy of the Sultan of Jolo, but re-
cent advfces indicate that the disarma-
Inent policy can be carried out only by
force
Gen. Pershing has been given free
hand in the conduct OF his campaign
and the officials here have no doubt
that his plans will be entirely success

made Yesterday was expected some
time ago. but the officials are satisfied
that Gen. pershing postponed his ad-
vance designedly in order to mobilize
sufficient force of American soldiery
to overWhelm the opposition with a
minimum of casualties.

Miners Ready to Testify

\ hundred brawny coal miners were
on hand this morning to tell the in

country was transformed into a theater
of civil war. They thronged the lobby
of the hotel where the committee held
its hearings. expecting to take the stand

lie failed to appear. Gov. Glasscock was
chief executive of the state when the
mine workers struck on Paint creea
and Cabin creek and issued the procla-
nations which placed the strike district
under the dominion of the state militia
From him the committee had expected
to secure the record evidence TO con-
dItionS which preceded the declaration
of martial law and the proceeding under
martial law.
Through the testimony of Gov. Glass
cock the mine operators planned to
place in the record their contention tha :
when the militia superseded the civil
courts in the strike district the civil
authorities had notified the governor
that they We're unable to cope with the
situation
Urged 10y their desire to cut short
possible the hearings at Charleston. the
committee members today planned to
hear but few of the small army of wit
nosses summoned and in attendance
The rr'ing of the committee that no
witness should be compelled to answer
questions tending to incriminate himself
had the effect of eliminating much of the
cross exa mnation of the witnesses by the
attorneys of the operators. This became
quite apparent in the examination of
John Seachrist young miner sum-
moned TO testify as to interference with
the postal service.
