IS MORO FANATICS
SLAIN ON PATA|SLE
"Bu|Iet-Proof" Prophet Is
Among Those Slain by
ConstabuIary.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MANILA, June 2.-Fifty-three fa-
natical Moros, including Akbara, the
self-styled bullet-proof prophet. have
been killed in a fight with the con-
stabulary on the island of Pata. near
Jolo (Sulu). No details of the upris-
ing have been received.
On May 81 a similar Moro uprising
in the same locality was reported to
Manila. At that time 1t was said
that Akbara, who called himself a
prophet from heaven and said no bull
let could touch him, had led his fol-
lowers in an attack on soldiers of
the constabulary. In the firing that
followed twenty-five Moros were re-
ported slain. and 1t was declared that
Akbara was among the dead. Later
it was learned that he had escaped.
The constabulary suffered no casual
ties.
Although dispatches then indicated
that the uprising had been quelled,
reinforcements were sent the insular
constabulary. Before that Gov. Gen.
Wood, learning that the Moros were
practicing lawlessness in the name
of religion, had sent a detachment of
constabulary to Pata to cope with the
situation.

to public attention when j. Ogden
Armour last November sought Secre-
tary Wallace's Endorsement of 1t. Sec
retary Wallace declared he saw no
occasion for action by him at that
time, but after further study inform
ed Mr.. Armour he could not look with

but when 1t was determined that the
