Fanatical 2?o?os Fought
Fiercely.
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. I anticipate little

trouble, but there may be one or two !
hard-headed old dattos who will put '
up their redflags. The matter may j
now said to be settled. There never i
will again be continued opposition j
nor general opposition. The sensible i
ones see that it is useless and several j
of their old priests are now preaching
the universal brotherhood of maD.
I have been here nearly two years j
right in and about the Moro country j
?in the islands nearly four?and can j
but feel that I have accomplished .
something. I think it is the largest j
single success that has been made in i
the islands. One year ago nobody |
knew nor had seen (except myself) j
the Moro in his native laguna, nor |
had they any idea of him nor of his j
fierce, unconquerable nature. Today 1
we have crossed the lake and have |
practically marched around it."

To the Editor of tne Disputed:
The health of this community is
very good with few exceptions.
The fsrmera of this section have
been fighting a great battle with
General Green, but have about whipped
the old General to a stand still.
Blackberries are plentiful these
days, and how we are feasting on
pies.
Mr. Bud Hutto and son, Charley,
are verv sick with typhoid fever at
Pelion."
Mr. Jerome Lucas found a bee j
tree recently and will cut it in the j
future.
Comedown, Mr. Editor, and go!
fishing. Those big trout are biting
fine these days.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
The health of this community i9
good with the esceotion of a few
cases.
Crops are looking very well considering
the weather. Gen Green is
retiring in double quick time at the
tap of the goose neck and other steel
pointed artillery, which are closing in
on him.
Rev. M. Q Boland, preached an
eloquent sermon at St. Peter's, on
Sunday, June 21st. Rev. B D.
Wessinger preached his first sermon
at St. Peters on the first Sunday in
June. Mr. Wessinger is afineyouug
man, and a faithful worker in the
Master's calling.
St. Peter's [Piney Woods'! is going
to claim the largest Sunday school in
the Fork, if not in the county, unless
some one can present figures above
those I am now going to present:
Total number enrolled 180 Average
attendance for the month cf May 110.
Now if there is any who can beat
that let us hear from you.
Weil, "Batch," when you want to
go home with that "little" girl again
at night, you would better get a light
if you have to catch a lightning bug.
Maybe it will save you some hard
work getting the mud off your pants
and shoes.
The grain has been about all
hauled in in this section and Messrs.
J. J. and L. F. Frick are going to

stare out witri tneir tnreenmg
machine today. Boys, you will catch
it in the straw, as the straw is heavy
and the grain light.
Mr. Perry Wise from near Spring
Hill, will soon come up to Mr. C. P.
Bobirsone, to go to work in the saw
mill again. Ttie girls will give him
their sweetest smiles and the boyB
will get the dry grin generally.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
This immediate section, not being
represented in your valuable columns,
I thought I would give a few of the
happenings around here.
Are you through killing the grass?
It is neediess to tell you that blackberries
are plentiful and that we have
had pulms.
Our farmers are through harvesting
the remnants of grain. Biscuits
will come from another place this
year.
Cotton and corn have besn considerablv
damaced bv the recent rains, i .
W o ~ - ? y J
though with a few mote such
warm days we thick the prospects
for a bountiful yield will become
brighter.
While paying a visit to the homefolk?,
R?v J D Grout, of DilloD, S. ^
C., will preach at Boiling Springs
next Sunday at 11 a. m.
The friends of Mrs. Mary Ann ^
Meetze, will be pained to learn that
she is critically ill at the home of her
son near here.

So far we have received but

public gatherings aad discuss farming
matters as we do politics? Ia
politics the benefit is for the speaker

would be benefited. We hope
