Captain Glllenwater, who was tho first officer to command that station, had but ono company, and as Uaqul, tho datto, who had possession of the fort, claimed to havo 4,000 lighting men, Glllcnwator did not risk forcing tho Issue. Slnco thon, tho Moros present wero all enemies ot Datto Plang and that they had como to hatch up a Bchcmo to conquer him. Ono ot Datto Utto's men, a flerco, dark-skinned fel low with a big krls at his waist, presented the case. This man was an orator. He first dilated on tho greatness of their tribo and then spoke of tho outrages which this son of a slavo, Plang, had perpetrated upon thom, stealing their lands and growing rich by plundering them. After a long pro amble he came to tho purpose ot the visit and bluntly proposed to tho American com mander that he should unlto his forces with thoso ot Datto Utto and march against Major Drett and tho American soldiers at Cottabato and Datto Plang. He said ho bellovcd that by such a union they could wipe out Plang and tho Moros, as well as tho American troops, and thoy would then bo supreme In this part of Mindanao.

It ho re fused It meant war, and, with ht: superior numbers, thero was no suroty how tho war would turn out. A great commotion was observed In and about tho fort all night, and when tho troops marched up to tho fort tho next morning thoy fully expected a fight. When thoy arrlvod, howovor, thoy found the datto moving out bag nnd bnggago. Ho told them ho would go, but nt the samp tlmo ho pointed out to tho bay. Tho AmorlcaiiB looked and saw that It was coverod with Moro boats. From every quarter tho Moro woro coming toward Parang-Parang. Somo of tho boats had lings Ilylng In them, nil wero filled with nion armed with lances, guns nnd krlsos, and It looked as though tho Mohammedans of all Mindanao woro coming to wipe out tho Americans. Tho Datto Daqul protended that he did not understand it, nnd a guard of Boldlors was sont down to tho plor to Intercept tho crowd upon landing nnd to learn what was really tho matter. Tho officers went with thom, taking tho big army wagon which had rocontly arrived and the four-mulo toam. At tho wharf thoy found that tho Invad ing Moros wero tho forces ot old Datto Utto and of several other chiefs, who, tribes to resist them. They put up forts and rather walk than bo so shaken up again dug pits for ambuscades, but were defeated and Utto submitted. Slnco then ho has fought again and again, and of late, al though bo Is now almost 90, ho has been waging war with Datto Plang, tho datto of this region who was tho first to como to tho support of tho Americans. Datto Plang Is a thrifty chief. He Is tho son ot a Chinese slavo, who by his own nblllty has mado himself a datto, and who by tho commercial strain of Chtneso blood which ho has In him hns amassed lands, houses and gold galore.

It Is Impoaslblo for me to describe tho bar barity of our Moro fellow citizens. Thoy nro In mnny respects ns savago as any tribe of tho African wilds and I prophesy that Undo Snm will loso many good Amorlcan soldiers beforo ho has brought them within tho pale of his civilization. Since tho first part ot this letter was wrltton the report of tho first butchery has como to hand. Tho ovont happened tho ether dny on tho Island m ONE OF OUR MORO VILLAGES. of Dongao. This Island is at the southwest ern end of tho Sulu archipelago, within about forty miles of Dornco. It Is so small you will need a largo map to find It, but look for tho Island ot Tawl Tawl and you may know that It is Just off tho western cud of it. We have a company stationed at Dongao, tho soldiers living in an old fort and bar racks thero which were occupied by the Spaniards. The Moros were supposed to be very friendly and the soldiers thought noth ing of going off into the woods in small par ties to fish and hunt. They mixed with the Moros and treated them kindly. The other day a party of five of our soldiers had gone somo miles away from the camp on a hunt. They stopped near a Moro village, and whllo ono of the men took a bath In the stream tho other four sat down on tho bank and played cards AuMnuIt tlic Soldiers with ICrlncH. Thoy stacked their guns near them and wero having a pleasant game when ten Moros armed with krlses and barongs camo up. Tho Boldlers greeted them and pointed I . i. i . .... i iu lueir Lurub, explaining wnai tney wero playing. As they did so ono of the Moras gavo a signal and several ot tho others grabbed the guns and ran, whllo tho rest nssaulted the soldiers with their krlses. In less than two minutes they had cut thom almost to pieces. They then ran away, tak ing tho guns with thom. How they camo to leayo the man In tho water I do not know, but they did not molest him. As soon as they had left ho came out. He found that ono of tho soldiers had been cut Into five pieces by as many strokes of a barong. Another, who was cut almost as bad, died as he came up, and a third hnd been so cut through the nock that nearly every cord but the Jugular vein had been severed, and the man was living only by holding his head on by his hand. The fourth man was terribly wounded. Tho soldier managed to get the living and dead Into tho boat and rowod them back to Dongao. When he arrived there one of the wounded men had died and only ono of the fire besides himself was alivo. This was the man who hold his . bead on. Tho boat was half full of blood. The soldier told his awful story and a forco of men at onco started after the mur- dorors. When thoy nrrlved at tho vil lage the datto at first hesitated about giving them up, but ho finally did so. The guns wero also found and upon a storn demand thoy wero handed over. Tho soldiers took tho murderors and camped with them that night near tho village, intending to take them back In the morning. They mado them go nfter wood and water for the camp, but as soon as the Moras neared tho woods they tried to escape, and every ono ot the ten was shot dead by the guards. I am told that this attempt to escape was a genuine one, but I doubt not the soldiers were glad of tho chance it gave them to avenge the doath ot their comrades. Where 1.1 fe la Cheap. Life la In fact the cheapest thing In this part ot tho world and death can be had on slight provocation. I have not yet heard of tho Moros having prisons or Jails, though (Continued on Sevonth Page.)
