Washington, June 11.?Capt. John J. Perehing, who was in command of the troops at the fight at Lake Lanao, in the Philippines, has written a letter . to a personal friend in the war department describing the battle. It has beeu shown to Secretary Root, who authorized its publication. Capt. Pershing says in hia letter that the fight was fought out on a system and had been planned by him some time before, as he had long seen it must come. The Americans got behind the Moro fort and dropped projectiles from artillery into it, a thing the Moros had believed could not be done. A deep ditch 35 feet wide and 40 feet deep bad to be crossed in order to get at the fort by assault, but a bridge had been built and was rushed into place and then the assaulting infantry made for the parapet. "Here," says Capt Pershing, "they were met with Campilan and Kris, and a bloody hand to hand fight occurred?one soldier against two Moros here, another run his bayonet into a fanatic there, Moros plunging headlong into the deep ditch in their impetuosity and impetus. It was as a whole a scene never to be forgotten. Too much cannot be said of the valor, the bravery, the courage and cool nerve of the American soldier. The majority of those left inside never reached the top ofx the parapet. It was a relief to me tbat none of our men were killed. Two will lose an arm each, the rest will recover with honorable scars but not maimed./ It was the proudest day of my life. One hundred and fifty killed all told is a conservative estimate of the Moros' loss. I have labored with the Bacolod Moros for a year -through other Moros, some 01 them Dear relatives trying to convince them of their foolishness in thinking of fighting us, but they have replied in insulting messages, in fact, the whole Laguna de Lanao has anticipated a reverse for us. The lesson, of course, has been a severe oDe for them and they want to be friends now. "We burned nothing but the main cotta and a few smaller ones from which we were fired upon, and I think the Moros all see that our purpose is to be humane as far as they will permit us.
