Manila. P. I.?Three hundred Moros are known to have been killed and many oiners were carried on aeuu or wounded as a result of five days' fighting in Jolo between the American troops under General Leonard Wood and the insurgents. Major H. L. Scott, of the Fourteenth Cavalry, and five American privates were wounded. General Wood landed near Sjet Lake, in Jolo, ou November 12. The Moros were soon located, and fighting began immediately and continued until November 17. Major Scott was taking Panglima Hassen. the Moro leader, who had been taken a prisoner, to Jolo. While en route Hassen asked to be allowed to see bis family. His appeal was granted and he thereupon led Major Scott into an ambuscade, where the American detachment was fired upon. Major Scott was shot in both hands. Hassen succeeded in escaping during this unexpected attack, but is supposed to have been killed the following day. The fighting took place in a country covered with swamps and rocks'. The | Moros were driven across the country i from Sjet Lake to the town in which Ilassen had made his headquarters, and where it was reported the Moros were 2000 strong. The rebel position was attacked on the flank by the American troops, who occupied the town and inflicted a loss of fifty killed on the Moros. Hassen, with a small party, surrendered. The rest of the Moros went into the swamps, out of which they were driven on November 10, leaving seventy-six dead behind them. On November 17 the American forces renewed the attack on the remaining Moros. of whom forty more were killed. The rebel forces have been literally destroyed by the operations, and General Wood says the indications are that there will be no extension of the uprising, which was handled without difficulty. v?enerai vvuuu xiiis unuei uiui uru battalions of the Twenty-eighth Regiment, one of the Twenty-third Regiment, a platoon of Captain George S.
