Pershing Penetrates the Heart Of HostilA
Moro Country With Only One Man, Datto

Yanti reached Marahui safely in the
evening of April u. The village
was in an uproar. Rumor had it
that American troops we're even then
marching on the place. bent on its
destruction and the massacre of its
inhabitants, and many of the natives
were fleeing with their women and
children to the cottas on the heights
above the lake. Pershing called the
leading dattos and sultans before
him and sought to pacify them.
Again he assured the tribal leaders
that the United States would not
modest those who were friendly. AT
the same time, though, he informed
the leaders that the lake region was
to be explored and that interference
with United States authority would
not be tolerated.
Warns the Natives.
Later, in May, 1902, white still at
Lligan, General Davis engaged in
battle with the Moros and letter
from Pershing under date of May
IA, 1902, gives an insight into Per-
shing's work. He wrote:
ITO my friend, ANIMAL Manibalang
of Madaya.
Il take pleasure in advising you
that | have received a telegram
from General Davis that he is
at present with the troops ON
the banks of the lake at Bayan.
In flight at Bayan the sultan and
Raja Muda were killed, also the sui
tan of Pandupatan and all the prin-
cipal men. The general says you
and your people should not be
frightened, as he does not intend
to disturb the Moros on the north
ern part of the lake.
"He wishes that all dattos and
principal men of Bavabao come to
see him, and | wish to know when
they will be ready to go with me
across the lake. The general wishes
to be at peace with you all.
please transmit this notice to
your people that they may under
stand and not be alarmed. Always
your friend,

Captain, 18th Cavalry
Moro Sends Answer.
This reply was received:
Letter from your friend, Ahmai-
Manibilang, to my friend, Captain
Pershing, Lliga.
81 am very glad to know that the
general has reached Bayan and has
killed many dattos who were op-
posed to him. When the general
has dispatched all the bad Moros
over there, then you can go from
there with your friends, the dattos
of Bayabao, from here. Animal San

Such a mission, of course, was
extremely hazardous, and might

Moros of Lake Lanao were the
most savage. For years, entrench-
