During all the disorder and riot
ing of Sunday night C E. Schmidt
of the Chenoweth Film company,
1306 Farnam street, risked his life
with a camera to shoot" pictures
of the firing of the court house,the
lynching of Will Brown, negro, and
, the reckless shooting of the mob.
In one instance eight men held
Sdhmidt above their heads near the
north entrance of the court house
in order that authentic pictures of
. the fray might be snapped.
' At the request of officials of the
Chamber of Commerce the pictures
will not be shown in Omaha. Al
ready theaters in Des Moirtes, Sioux
City, Lincoln, Kearney, Columbus,
Atlantic, la., and Council Bluffs
have received prints of the lynch
ing and areshowing them.
City officials in Grand Island re
fused to ajlow the pictures to be
shown there because of racial feel
ing existing there, according to a
telegram received by Schmidt from
S. A. Hayman, manager of a theater
in that city.
By noon Monday, prints of the
pictures were on their way to New
York City to be shown there, pro
viding they are permitted.
"The films are in favor of law
enforcement and for the betterment
of the community," Mr. Schmidt
declared.
Scenes of Mayor Smith taken 10
days ago are also depicted in the
print. Taking of the fire scene of
the court house was a difficult task,
Schmidt said, because of the dark
ness. However, the night scene is
shown plainly in the pictures.

Pittsburgh district has been carried

Treacherous Moros1 Taught Severe Lesson
By Pershing In Slaughters at Fort Bacolod
Bamboo Bridges Thrown
Over Ditch and Place
Carried by Hand-to-Hand
Assault .
After the Macui campaign ' Per
shing decided to postpone further
movement against hostile Moros in
the hope that they would profit by
the experiences of those whom he
had vanquished. And the vanquish
ed, as the hostile Moros well knew,
were not confined to those against
whom the two expeditions had been
directed. Before even the first ex
pedition Pershing had arrested the
Sultan of Binidayan; and the sultan,
going juramenfado, was killed.
Letters were sent, after the Macui
campaign, to the east lake and
Bacolid Moros, giving them every
opportunity to come to friendly
terms. They were -told that even
though previously hostile they
might visit Camp Vicars and that
the United States government, as
represented by Pershing, would wel
come a change in their holtile atti
tude. Several Moros on-the eastern
side of the lake took advantage of
the opportunity, including Raja
Nurul Caquim, who controlled a
number of rancherias. He told his
people that they must not interfere
with the Americans under penalty
of severe punishment. Moros from
Butig and Bayabao also called at
Camp Vicars and declared that they
wished no more war.
Nothing of a friendly nature,
however, was heard from Bacalod.
Recognized By Moros.
Meantime, in November, Pershing,
under escort of Amai-Manibilaang
and some of his people, crossed the
lake in vintas with 150 men. He
visited several towns, among them
Madaya and Marahui and proceed
ed thence to Lligan, returning to
Camp Vicars over the same route.
Pershing was shown every atten
tion, especially at Madaya and also
at Marahui, where, on market day,
a large conference was held attend
ed, by some 500 Moros from all sec
tions of the lake. Pershing was re
ceived with marked . deference and
the Moros acclaimed him widely as
a datto in comparison with whom
all other dattovwere as nothing.
"The actual leadeY of the hostile
Moros was an old pandita by the
name of Sajiduciaman, reported
Pershing. Knowing his friendship
for 'Amai-Manibilang and one or
two others, summoned, them to
Camp Vicars to aid me in bringing
him to see the folly of further re
sistance, -i-
"An interview was finally ar
ranged, at which he and I agreed to
be personal friends, but he claimed
to be unable to give any assur
ances as to the future -action of his
people.
"In January, his followers began
to interfere with the Moros em
ployed by us and a campaign was
decided on.
Attack On Bacolod.
"The plan was to attack Bacolod
from the north, and to do this it
was necessary to rather keep up in
the hills, where we had to work'our
way very lowly.
"On reaching Bacolod Hill, about
4 o'clock, a very heavy rain set in,
which considerably delayed the ad
vance; especially of the artillery.
The leading company was moved
down Bacolod ridge toward the fort
in skirmish line, and was received
with a heavy fire . of lantacas and
small arms. Advancing to within
300 yards, one company was placed
across the ridge 'and one moved to
the right and another to the left, so
as to partially envelop the fort. One
section of the artillery having ar
rived, firing began in arnest on
both sides.
Hoist White Flag.
"At about 9 o'clock a. ' m. the
Moros inside the fort ceased firing
and hoisted a white flag, the Pan
andungan of Bacolod himself re-

A Filipino Bilan t nd his wife,
questing terms of surrender. They
were informed that nothing but un
conditional surrender would be ac
cepted, and that as prisoners their
lives would be well treated. They
declined these terms, desiring to
keep their arms and to remain in
the fort.
"The effective work of the moun
tain artillery had already prac
tically destroyed the embrasures
and 'portholes on the north and
east faces of the fort, and we soon
reached a stage when all that re
mained to be done was to make the
final assault. It was necessary, how
ever, to remain at Bacolod until the
following day, awaiting the arrival
of supply pack trains' sent to Vicars.
Moreover, in order to avoid loss
of life I was, very desirous of forc
ing the, Moros to surrender, and
for these reasons concluded to de
lay the assault until the following
day in 'the hope that they would
finally give up. Fresh troops were
sent to the firing line, which watf
strengthened at night, and the ut
most precautions taken that none
should escape from the fort and no
reinforcements enter. Early the
morning of the 8th the Panandun
gan again asked for and was granted
a conference,' which, however, re
sulted as before.
-'Fought Hand-to-Hand, ,
"Material for filling the ditch was
prepared at once, and detailed in
structions were given to the offi
cers of the assaulting lines to be
composed of Company C, 27th in
fantry, under Lieutenant Shaw;
Troop L, 15th cavalry, dismounted
under Captain Kirkpatrick, and one
Maxine gun, under Captain McNair.
All in readiness,' the infantry ad
vanced toward the east face of the
fort, and the cavalry, with the
mountain gun between the two, pla
toons, the north face.
J'Under the protection of the fire
of this line' the ditch at the point of
crossing, .opposite the middle of the
east face, was filled with . fallen
trees, and a bamboo bridge was
thrown across by Company M,
Twenty-seventh Infantry, and
Troop A, Fifteenth Cavalry, under
Lieutenants Gracie and Lear, re
spectively, Lieutenant Peek, En
gineer corps, immediately directing
the work. Within 20 minutes this
was accomplished without casualty,
and men of Company C, Company
M and Troop A, hurriedly crossed
to the berme and sprung upon the
parapet, 1 encountering Moros in
hand-to-hand combat, who rushed
with campilans and krises from the
berm galleries and interior of the
fort to meet them. '
Moros Slaughtered.
"Three men were wounded al
most instantly, but short work was
made of the remaining Moros, who
in all parts of the fort continued to
fight desperately to the death. The
plan of assault was ' executed in
every detail. . It was a brilliant ac
tion and one never to be forgotten
by those who engaged, and the gal
lantry displayed by our troops has
seldom been equalled.
"It is said that there were in the
beginning over 200 Moros in the
fort, several of whom escaped the
first day and night, and just before
the assault the number was put at
from 50 to 100. Sixty Moros were
foundvdead at the fort and trenches,
among those killed being the Panan
dungan of Bacolo, the leader of op
position to the Americans; Datto
Macasasa, Datto Tundia, Datto An
tao, and several bthers of less im
portance. Weapons In Ashes.
"On account of the danger, from
cholera, a minute inspection of the
interior was not deemed safe, and
the fort was at once ordered burned.
Many rifle barrels and kris blades
were found in the ashes, together
with six cannons and seven lantacas,
which were destroyed with gunpow

Official. v
Thfr-rruld weather is considered a
"god-send" In the present unpro
tected condition of the ruined court
house. -N
Work is proceeding rapidly on
replacing the windows. In dozens
of places temporary windows are
being installed two feet back of the
regular windows so as not to inter
fere with the placing of the regular
frames and windows. Where only
the window panes have , been
broken they are being replaced and
within three or four days the build
ing will be protected from the
weather.
Dozens of steam radiators have
been broken off and the pipes are
being plugged temporarily so that
fort proper were five men wounded
and in the final assault three wound
ed. According to conservative re
ports of friendly Moros, 60 Macolod
Moros were filled in the fighting in
that vicinity in addition to those
mentioned above, making 120 in all,
besides renegades ' from Taraca,
Pindalunan, Binidayan, and other
places.
"The dimensions of Fort Bacolod
included within the walls of the
parapet were about 80 by 100 feet.
The walls were 12 feet high, IS feet
thick at the base, and faced with
stone on the outside. A berme 12
feet wide extended entirely around
the fort, under which were con
structed galleries, and both the fort
and berme were covered 'with aba
boo and earth. The fort proper and
the galleries were used as a dwell
ing by the family of the Panandun-
gan and many of his people. The
parapet was loopholed for rifle fir,
and contained embrasures for can
non and lantacas and a series of
bamboo loopholes extended entire
ly around the edge of the berme for
rifle fire from the galleries.
