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

would turn out. A great commotion was
observed In and about tho fort all night, and

tho next morning thoy fully expected a

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

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

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.
