WASHINGTON. June 21. Captain J. J.
Pershing, who was in command of the
troop at the fight at Lake Ianao, In the
Philippines, has written a letter to a per
sonal friend In the War department de
scribing the battle.
It has been handed to Secretary Boot,
who authorized Its publication. Captain
Pershing says:
CAMP VICARS, Mlndlnao,- April 27, 1903.
I suppose your mall dispatches have or
will have brought you a full account of the
Bacolod incident. In reality the best tighv
of the Moro campaigns not so many Moio
killed as at Bayan or Pondapatan one year
a BO but fought according tu some sort of
System. Of course. I lLave worked on
this fight, as I foresaw long ago that It
must come, and the whole tiling frrni tha
beginning worked out us planned. First,
we got behind them, much to '.riclr sur
prise, and could post our guns p.r-ova and
drop projectiles down Into their fort, so
that the artillery fire In this cure was not
all noise. We had some -wor and some
fighting to gain this position. Once there
It was only a question of silting down de
HHeratelv and waiting to see what the
Moros would do. Many Got away before
the place was Invested thoroughly. Tho
fight began In a flood of. a rainstorm that
lusted until dark, and reeonnolterlntf was
difficult. So we did rot find all tho ave
nues of escape until next day. and I am
glad now we did not. as they had such con
fidence In this fort, that they have been
constructing for a year, that they look
many women and children Inside, and
these escaped during the night.
Nothing, to Do bat Fight.
The next rtey and night we held them
fast, however, and tried to get them to
surrender, had two talks under flag of
truce; n they would fight It out. So
there was then only to finish It. I called
my officers together and gave each one his
work. The main obstacle wa a deep ditch
thirty-five feet wide and forty feet deep to
be crossed. It was to bs bridged with
falle.n trees and over all a bamboo bridge
wa.i laid. Everything In readiness, the as
sault began. In the face of a heavy Rem
ington fire from the fort the lines ad
vanced against two faces of the fort, put
ting out of business every Moro that ap
peared. They could not use their portholes,
as wa had battered them to pieces, al
though we could not, with our light field
artillery, damage the earthwork. The llnea
up to wltbln fifty yards, the bridge was
completed by two companies detailed for
that purpose, the trees having been pre
viously cut und hauled as near as could
a rely be done.
Thirty minutes more the assanltlrj lnt
fntry--ewHtt; aenoe arm-'formed In line
on the Tterm mr climbered up near In
the line to the top of th- parapet. H.r
they were met wtth ksmnllnn and krls and
a bloody hand-to-hand fluht occurred one
soldier against two Moros; here another
running his beyuner Into a fanatic, there
Mnnn nlnnrtn headlong Into the decn
ditch In their Impetuosity and impetus.
It was ae a whol a scene never io dc ror
gotten.
Praise for Boldlera.

WILKUSBARRE, Pa., June 21. When
the roucflliitloii board meets In this city
on Wednesday the operators will have
grievances to be adjusted as well as the
miners, and this will be a surprise to
many of the latter, who believed that the

The operators will take exceptions to the
many petty strikes which are the cause of
much Inconvenience and annoyance and
also that the nonunion men are bring In-

lessened by the practice of miners remain

charge of discrimination, that some of
the men active In tho strike have not been
given work since, that the award of the
commission bus been violated by a change

"It will be Impossible to start the re
mainder of the machinery so as to employ
at once all who will come back. Running
with an Incomplete force for three weeks
has disturbed the balance that usually ex
'.sts between stock and prices in the vari
ous department. A mill fay have a de
pleted stock In oerrrln klnds-of -yarn, and
for that reason be unable to start all of
its looms, even if the full complement of
help Is available. It Is for the selling
agents and the treasurers to decide, In view
of the market, whether we shall attempt
to run In full."
The strike began on March SO and In
volved about 17.000 operatives. The mills
were shut down until June 1, when the
agents opened the gates and the majority
of the operative went back to work. Tho
strike has cost In wages about fl, 300.000.
It Is understood thnt the agents will
l take back all the old help they have room
for and will make no discrimination against
the, lenders of the strike movement.

RURAL MAIL DELIVERY HERE TO STAY
Members of Congress All Over Country
interested In Seel no, the System
Extended Rather Than
Dropped.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. June 2I.-(Spect;il.)-Th
congress of the United States of Colombia,
which has Just convened, was called for the
purpose of considering the so-called Pan
ama cnnnl treaty between that republic
nnd the United States of America. Under
tho terms of the call no oilier business
whatever can be done except to dispose
of this treaty. But ns It Is a new con
gress which hns Just assembled It must
first be organized, and this, it is esti
mated, will take four days. Then the min
ister for foreign alTnlrs will present the
treaty to the two houses assembled In Joint
session. He will explain anything which
may be necessary to tho assembled mem
bers, giving his own views nnd those of
the oresldent of Colombia nt the same time.
After that the wrangle over the treaty
will begin. This special Fesslon must nd-
Journ by July 20. upon which dale the
regular session of the congress will begin.
There are three courses open to the Co
lombian congress. It may ratify the treaty,
reject it or amend It In such a manner as
to make it distasteful to tho United States.
Just whnt the outcome will be Is a prob
lem which the Washington administration
Is unable to guess. Th'oe who have rep
resented tho French co-.ipany. ln the ne
gotiations between '.his republic and tho
company are not as confident of ratification
as they wore some months ago, because,
they say, there are three powerful Influ
ences at work against them. These Influ
ences have money behind thein and will
undoubtedly use It unstintedly. Then, too,
they are prepared to prove to the members
of the Colombian congress that in the event
of the rejection of the treaty th old
French company, with new capital, will
within a week be prepared to proceed with
the work of construction and to proceed
more vigorously than ever before.
Revolution Would Follow.
But on the other hand those who are best
qualified to judge of the situation on th
isthmus ere positive that the rejection of
the treaty will be followed by the secession
of the territory of Panama and the estab
lishment of a new republic there, which ,
republio will within ten days ot it procla
mation send a treaty to Washington almost
identical In It terms with tho one now
pending, but which will give this country
more absolute control over the territory
traversed by the canal than the Colombian
government ha ever been prepared to give.
Those who are on the Inside profess to
have reason to believe that In th event
of such a secession the United State will
promptly recognize the new ttpuhllo of
Panama and will enter Into negotiations
wtth the republic to the end that the canal
may be built under American auspice. It
Is very well understood that there are
powerful Influences In this country which
are represented at the Colombian capital
against the Interests of the United State
and for their own selfish reasons. The
j president and Secretary Hay are kept con
stantly advised of their r:'vnents In the
south, but they are not prepared to make
public the Information wilch haa been
ucqulred by tho American government.
There are men here who profess to be
lieve that the Panama canal will never b
constructed and that the Nlcaraguan rout
will eventually be adopted after all. At
the present time there la In this country a
representative of Nicaragua, who has coma
authorized to give the United States ven
better terms than have heretofore been
proposed. That these new proposal will
he considered Is nut lielleved, at least not
until after the Colombian congress shall
have taken definite action towards th
rejection of the tre:ity. Should that con
gress fail to act one way or the other
before July 20 tho treaty will again he pre
sented during the regular cession, but It
will cause wrangles and delay through
the determined opposition of the Influences
above cited. The French company would,
it is asserted, be willing to pay a handsome
bonus for the privilege of backing out of
the contract for the sale of the ditch to th
United States at' the 140,0(0,003 agreed upon.
By accepting this sum the stockholders In
th new company so-called would receive
back the amounts which, they hav paid
In, together with 2i per cent Interest. It
is asserted that If the treaty falls these
stockholders will receive In addition to their
original investments 5 per cent Interest
Instead of and that the directors will
have much better berths than they hav
heretofore enjoyed.
lluriil Deliver)' Her to Stay.
A great deal of wild talk has been In
dulged in during tha past few weeks as
to the probability of cougreas abandoning
the whole rural free delivery servlc a a
result of the postofilce acandals. That
such talk ia absurd is easy to understand
when it 1 remembered that every member
of the house whose district Is not confined
to a large city Is directly interested in
the maintenance and growth of the rural
free delivery service. It may be true that
routes have been established In districts
which were not entitled to them when tho
population and postal business were con
sidered, but on the other hand, all mem
ber representing rural populations hav
been tarred with the same stick. Political
lines have never been drawn In the estab
lishment of rural route, and during the
past two year when congress was In ses
sion fully 10 per cent of tha absentee
could have been discovered In the head
quarter of the rural fre delivery service
urging upon the uperlntendent the neces
sity for consideration of routea In which
each individual wa directly Interested.
Day after day republicana and democrats
hav "thronged tht office, carrying with
them petitions and papers for the estab
lishment of this or that route. An In
spector closing up work In a district rep
resented by a republican today would be
ordered to a democratic district tomorrow,
and vice versa. Any attempt to abandon
tl '.a service, which has proved so popular
In th country, would raise a howl which
would lie heard from Maine to Texas and
from Waahlngton to Florida, and th mem
bers who should vote for It would tin-
