The expedition led by Capt. John
JosepH Pershing from September
18 to 22, 1902, in Mindanao, against
the Lake Lanao Moros, especially
against those ruled over by Sultan
Uali of Gauan and Bugig and those
-of the raiichenas of Bayabao had
a most salutary effect.
Before that expedition bands of
marauding Moros had believed they
could attack United States soldiers
and destroy United States property
with impunity. Failure to punish
offenders was regarded as coward
ice. Now the hostile Lake Moros
knew they could not go unpun
ished and there was engendered in
them a wholesome fear and respect
for Pershing.
However, there still remained sul
tans and dattos who would not rec
ognize the sovereignty of the
United States; who refused all over
tures by Pershing, and who would
not surrender. Among such Moros
were those of Madui. under Sultans
Tauagan and Oandauli. j

his return to Camp Vicars from the
first of his four memorable expedi
tions, September 28. Ire started on a
second expedition. It lasted fout
days and resulted in the complete
vanquishment of the Macui Moros,
Found Stone Fort.
From a report, written by him,
the account follows:
"We left Camo Vicars at 8 a. m.
September 28, and arrived at Sauir j
at 3:30 p. m., where tne Dase camp
was established. It was discovered
tliaf ince the camoaien some 10
days previous the Moros of Macui
had erected at talub, on the Macui
side of the arm of the lake, a small
earthwork, faced with stone, cover
ing the landing that they evidently
thought we intended to use, and
upon the parapet they had hoisted
their red flag of war.
"On the morning of the 29th the
Moros from the fort fired upon the
cavalry as 'the horses were being
watered. The firing was returned
immediately by the battery previ
ously posted for that purpose. After
that the Moros kept up a fire from
the opposite side during the .day,
but did not damage, a party of
sharpshooters being on the look
out for every Moro that exposed
himself.

"While I was out on the trail
during the afternoon Captain Mor
row reported having seen several
Moros some distance to the front
and that Lieutenant Pepper, with 15
men of Company C, had gone in
that direction, soon atter nnng was
heard from our front, and with 20

SALTS FINE FOR
ACHING KIDNEYS
We eat too much meat which
clogs Kidneys, then the
Back hurts.
Most folks forget that the kid
neys, like the bowels, get sluggish
and clogged anrf need a flushing oc
casionally, else we have backache,
and. dull misery in the kidney
region, severe headaches, rheumatic
twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach,
sleeplessness and all sorts of blad
der disease; ...
You simply must keep your kid
neys active and clean, and the mo
ment you feel an ache or pain in
the kidney region, get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any good
drug store here, take a tablespoon
ful in a glass of water before break
fast for a few days and your kid
neys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice combined
with lithia, and is harmless to flush
clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal , activity. It also neu
tralizes the acids in the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder disorders. '
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpen
sive; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everybody
should take now arid then to keep
their kidneys clean, thus avoiding
serious complications.
A well known local druggist says
he sells iots of Jad Salts to folks
who believe in ovecoming kidney
trouble while it is only trouble.

additional men, I, with Captain Mor
row and Lieutenant Gracie, went
hurriedly out along the trail, meet
ing Lieutenant Pepper and his de
tachment returning. I then ordered
the whole detachment . forward,
Lieutenant Pepper's party in the ad
vance, and as we debouched from
the heavy timber to an open hillside
in Macui we were fired upon. Lieu
tenant Pepper and the advance re
turned the fire and the whole de
tachment closed on the Moros, kill
ing 12 of them and capturing one
Tower rifle. s
"I decided to occupy Macui the
following: day, September 30, and to
complete the trail as far as neces
sary as we-went alone.
x "There .was much difficulty in.
passing over the trail, which became
very muddy with use and in places
swampy to such an extent that all
the battery mules and ammunition
mules had to be unpacked, some of
them several times, and their loads
carried by the men, often as far as
200 yards. It was noon before we
reached Macui ridge, where the
skirmish of the day before had oc
curred. .
Silenced In 20 Minutes.
"In the meantime Lieutenant
Gracie with Company M had en
countered resistance, but had forced
the Moros to return to their cot
tas, two in number, one being that
of the defiant Sultpn Gandauli.
"These two cottas were near the
west end of the ridge, which sloped
abruptly westward to the alluvial
flat on which Macui proper is lo
cated. McNair's four mountain guns
were sent into position at 300 yards.
The Moros were silenced within 20
minutes, and they deserted both
cottas and attempted to escape. The
two infantry companies, supported
by Company G, advanced hurriedly
past the cottas to the edge of thi
ridge and poured volley after volley
into thi retreating Moros. The
Moro force probably numbered 150
in all, many of whom were known
to be killed, and, as learned since,
a great number wounded. Two
three-inch murzle-loadine cast-iron
cannon were captured and spiked.
Both cottas and the houses within
and their contents, household effects
and rice, were then destroyed.
Walls 20 Feet Hifh.
"On 'the next morning, October 1,
I moved out toward the supposed
location of. this cotta, Company G
in the advance. When just west of
Gandauli's cotta the advance was
fired upon and developed what
promised for a time to be the en
emy in force. The battery was
posted and the two leading infantry
companies were deployed exactly
the same as the day before, their
flanks extending beyond the two
cottas in our front, which were
about 150 yards apart.
"All the troops being in position,
McNair's battery was ordered to
open fire. The Moros replied with
a vigorous fire from the lantacas
and small arms.
"At about 3 p. m., Lieutenant
Loring suggested that he take some
of his men of Company G and burn
the buildings in the small cotta on
the left, and he was directed to do
so, as all buildings in other adjacent
cottas had been burned. Afterwards
Lieutenant Loring volunteered to
make an attempt to set fire to the
occupied cotta and, if possible, to
locate the entrance. With 10 men
he succeeded in reaching the walls
of the cotta, but the fire set in some
dead grass died out. One of his
men, Pvt. James Nolan, jr., Com
pany G, 27th infantry, was wounded
and had to be assisted to the rear.
. "Lieutenant Loring found the
walls to be at least 20 feet high
from the bottom of the ditch and
perpendicular, making it impracti
cable without unnecessary loss of
life to scale them.
"I ordered the lines drawn closer
after dark, so that the distance be
tween the two extremites on the
lake shore was only about 100 yards,
and the outposts at these points
were in sight of each other. Sur
rounding the cotta on all sides ex
cept the immediate front and im
mediate right there was a very rank
growth of grass (cogon) 10 to 15
feet high, with deep narrow ditches
running through it in all directions.
I directed that fires be lighted be
tween our lines and the cotta to
an and his wife.
overcome the darkness, although it
was not thought possible for the
MoVos to escape.
"Continuous yelling and praying,
with occasional firing, were kept up
until about 3 a. m., when a party of
Moros attempted to escape by rush
ing through our lines, first trying
Company G, commanded in person
by Captain Phillips, and then trying
Company F, Lieutenant Bickham,
but they were repulsed at both
places, although one Moro succeed
ed in passing through Company
G's line and was wounded-as he ran
away. Several Moros- were killed
in this attempt and others wounded.
"The next morning at daylight
the cotta was discovered to be de
serted. "After the cotta was burned a
Moro juramentado sprang out of
the grass from the angle formed by
Companies C. and F's lines and at
tacked Pvt. R. G. Macbeth, Com
pany F, cutting him severely on the
left arm with a campilan. This
Moro, who afterwards proved to
be the Sultan Cabugatan of Macui,
was killed, being shot seven times
before he fell.
"Company C and Troop A were
sent through the tall grass in skir
mish line, finding another Moro
awaiting an opportunity to make a
similar attack, but he was dispatch
ed' before he was able to do any
damage.
"I cannot speak too highly of the
conduct of the officers and men of
my command during this expedi
tion, and I desire to especially men
tion the officers and men of the
Twenty-fifth battery under Captain
McNair for the manner in which
they executed the difficult task of
transporting the battery over the
swampy country through which we
were compelled to . pass and for
their fearlessness in pushing their
guns almost under walls of the
Macui forts.
