AMERICAN OFFICER
IS KILLED IN FIERCE
FIGHT WITH MOROS
American Troops Victorious
in HOtly Contested Battle
With InsurrectOS in the
Philippine Islands

Washington. June 13.-Probably no
fiercer battle since American occupation,
are the words of Brigadier General PERISH
ing, describing the battle with the Moros
yesterday in his report by cable today to
the war department.
The Moros made desperate attempts to
rush the American lines, but were finally
beaten back and overwhelmed. Their
leader, Anil, and several other noted out
laws were reported killed, but the total
loss of the Moros was not reported.
One American officer. Taylor A. Mich
OILS, of the Philippine scouts, was killed
First Lieut.. Edwin II. Rackley, Philip
pine scouts, was wounded, and three
Philippine scouts of the Fifty-first COM
pany, all natives, were killed. General
Pershing's report was as follows:
"On June u the Moros resistance at
Bagsag was formidable. and their fort
and trenches on the precipitious side
of the crater not only supported each
other strongly, but were defended with
modern arms. The Moros fanatically and
continuously precipitated themselves on
the American lines but the careful dispo-
sition of our force held the American loss
to minimum. Probably there has been
no fiercer battle since American occupa-
tion.
First Lieut.. Edwin III. Rackley,
Philippine scouts, was slightly wounded
and three Moro scouts of the Fifty first
company were killed. Capt. Taylor A.
Nichols was killed in the early morning
fight, and 1t is a serious loss to the army.
Anil and several leading outlaws report
ed killed. Other Moro losses still un-
known"
A cablegram from Major General Bell
not only explains the reason for the at
tack upon the Moros stronghold, but as
sumes responsibility with General / ersh-
| ing. General Bell said
1.-THE fight at Bagsag was incident to
the disarmament policy of the governor
general Cameron Forbes), and the gov
ernor of the Moro province, adopted after
many months of patient but fruitless ne
gotiations and marked by promises disre-
garded by the Moros.
"a situation arose that believe left no
alternative. Anil and relatively small
| following occupying one ward of the
| Island of Jolo were the only Moros who
refused to give>up their arms peacefully.
disarmament was generally desired by
| the Moros themselves All of the rest
surrendered their arms months ago with
out resisting. Under the circumstances 1t
was impossible and unjust to the disarmed
Moros to permit few of them to retain
arms"

PET CALF BRINGS
LADIES INTO COURT


Huntsville, June 13.-(Special.)---
Judge Hawkins of the inerior criminal
court yesterday had a case that was as
puzgling in some features as that which
was presented to Solomon by two
mothers who claimed the same child.
The custody of a pet Jersey calf was
involved. Mrs. Joe Miller claimed that
she had raised the calf from infancy
and that It had disappeared few days
ago. being found in the pasture of Mrs
Thomas Tickling. Mrs. Fickling
claimed that the calf had been raised
as a pet on her place. Both ladies ideu-
titled the calf positively and large
number Of witnesses on each side tes-
titled indirectly opposite ways. One
or the the other was honestly mis-
taken in the identity of the animal in
litigation. Judge Hawkins decided for
the plaintiff, giving the calf to Mrs
Miller.

Ryanne, assured that no one he knew
was about, proceeded into the writing
room, wholly deserted at this early
hour.
He sat down at a desk and opened
the cable. 1t contained exactly what
he expected 1t was a call for adj
vice in regard to the rental of Mr..
George P. A. Jones mansion in New
York and the temporary d%isposing OF
the loose valuables. Ryanne read it
over a dozen times, with puckered
brow, and finally balled it iercely in
his fist. Fool! He could not, at that
moment, remember the most essen
tial point in the game, the name and
offic of the agent to whom he u
this very morning send reply. Hur-
riedly he fished out the letters; n
chance in a thousand. He swore. but
in relief. In the corner of one of the
letters he saw that for some unknown
reason the gods were still with him.
Reynolds and Reynolds, estates, Broad
street; he remembered. He wrote out
a reply on a piece of hotel paper, in
tending to copy it off at the cable
office. This reply covered the ground
convincingly. Renting for two
months. Old friends. Leave things
as they are. P. A." The initials
were a little stroke. From some
source Ryanne has picked up the fact
that Jones' business correspondence
was conducted over those two initials.
He tore up the cable init small illegi-
BILE squares and dropped some into n
basket and some into another. Next,
he r~eaddressed Georges mail to Leip-
zig; another stroke, meaning a delay
of two or three months; from the
head office of his bankers there to
Paris. Paris to Naples. Naples to New
York. That Ryanne did not open
these letters was in nowise due to
moral suasion; whatever they con
tanned could be of no vital Importance
to him.
Now, Horace, we shall bend the
crook of our elbow in the bar-room.
The reaction warrants a stimulant."
An hour later the whole affair vas
nicely off his hands. The cable had
cost him three sovereigns. But what
was that? Niente, rien; nothing; a
mere bagatelle. For the first time in
weeks a sense of security invaded his
being.
1t was by now 9 o'clock; and Per-
cival Algernon still reposed upon his
bed of ease. Let him sleep. Many
know the comfort of linen sheets, the
luxury of down under his ear.

WHERE WE FIND EMERALDS
Famous Muzo Mines In the Republic
of Colombia Produce Finest
Gems.

The finest emeralds are found in
the Republic of Colombia, at the ia
nous Muzo mines in the department
of Boyaca, seventy miles north by
west of Bogota, which have been
worked since 1858. The Spaniards
mined there in the middle of the six
tenth century, but withdrew after
q time, owing to continual fighting
with the Indians; with the result that
for awhile the locality Of the mines
was unknown. They are now worked
by an English company, in partner
ship with the government. h emer-
aids at MuZo occur in calcite veins
running through black carboniferous
limes,one in all directions and at all
angles. Often the limestone is COW
cred with earth, in which bushes and
trees are growing; this has to be
cleared before prospecting is possible.
When calcite veins have been located,
the side of the hill is dug away in
banks" usually by Indians, whose
chief tool Is a steel bar forged to a
point at one end. The pieces of cal
cite vein are examined specifically
for emeralds, and are then set aside
for conveyance to the sorting-shed.
where a detailed examination is made.
and the emeralds are divided into fif-
teen grades according to color. trans
parency, size, freedom from flaws, and

DIES rug, slept the sleep of the untrou-

nothing in particular to get up for. In
fact, after having drunk his breakfast
cocoa and eaten his buttered toast, he
evinced his satisfaction by turning his
face away from the attracting morn
ing light and passing off into sleep
again. And thereby hangs this tale.
So much depended upon his getting
his mail as it came in that morning,
that Fate herself must have resisted
sturdily the desire to shake him by

strolling about the deserted %lounging-

inconceivable how easily mail may be
purloined in a large hotel. There are
as many Ways as points to h wind.
Ryanne chose the simplest. He waited
for the mailbag to be emptied upon
the head-porter's counter. Nonchal-
antly, but deity, while the porter
looked On, the adventurer ran through
the bulk. He found three letters and
a cable, the latter having been re-
ceived by Georges bankers the day
before and mailed directly to the no
tel. The porter had no suspicion that
a bold theft was being committed I'M
der his very eyes. Moreover, circum-
stances prevented his ever learning
of it. Ryanne stuffed the spoils into
a pocket.
"If any one asks for me-" he said.
"say that l shall be at my bankers,
the Anglo-Egyptian bank, at 10 o'clock.
Yes, sir" replied the porter. as he
began to sort the rest of the mail.

that the roster is one over the limit
allowed by baseball law. Murphy has
been given a couple of days by Presi-
dent Lynch to dispose of the extra
player.
The name of the man to go is not
definitely known. He will be an out
fielder or a pitcher. Corridor or Phe-
Ian, the two inf1eld utility men, are
sure of their beTths and Murphy
thinks a lot of Craig. Al Bridwen

Side with a charge of dynamite.
There is a surplus of outfeld ma
teTial. Mitchell, Leach and Schultz

iams, Clymer, GOode and Miller

too many for a team. If one or more
is cut loose the name Of Otis Clymer
will be included in the decapitated.
Clymer started well, but he did not
show enough speed on the bases and
also fell woefuly in his hitting. If a
pitcher must depart to make room
for Craig it will be Lefty LeifeId.
