Members of a Dangerous Tribe Cruelly Murder a Soldier. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 4% G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, April 16—Fear is| entertained by the administration that | | the United States has embarked upon a ! serious war with the Moros of the Philip- pines. The first gun has been fired by the | | Moros, and Major General Chaffee has of- | dered an expedition to prepare for an in- vasion of their stronghold to assert lhz,"‘ authority of the United States. | This action of General Chaffee was | { taken after he himself had gone from ! Manila to Zamboanga for the purpose of | endeavoring to peaceably arrange the dif- | ferences between the Americansé and the Moros. The cause of the trouble, the pe- | gotiations which occurred and the dis- patch of the expedition are thus detailed in a message froem General Chaffee, dated at Manila yesterday: With reference to my telegram of the 23d ult., reporting an attack by Moros on.a recon- noissance under Forsythe, March 14, a soldier of the Twenty-seventh Regiment, United State~ | Infantry, was murdered by Moros in the vicin- | ity of Parang-Parang. | | | March 30 two soldiers | of the Twenty-seventh Regiment, United States Infantry, having one gun, were approached | with & semblance of friendship by six Moros, | near Malsbang. The rifle was seized, one sol- | dier was killed and the other was severely | wounded, but escaped. The murder was wit! out pry cation or justification in any wa The murderers are known and a demand has been made for their surrender. Thus far the Dattos have refused to deliver them. I have |- been to Malanga and tried to confer with them. The Dattos failed to come or acknowledge re- | ceipt of my request for a conference, Expedition Being Formed. An_expedition of 1200 men, under. Colorel | Frank D. Baldwin, cavalry and artillery, is | being formed to leave for Lake Lanao aboul April_27 for the purpose of arresting the mur- derers and to punish the Dattos. Every care.is.| to be taken not to bring on a general war with the Meros about the lake. It is absolutely im- | | portant that our authority should be respected by the people and that the sovereignty of the Unijted States should be fully acknowledged. I have addressed a letter to this effect to the | | Dattos, at the same time informing them of | { the friendly dispcsition of our Government; that the purpose was to_punish only those iv-| | ing offense; that the Government claims the right to explore the country between Illana | and Himay bays; that it is my purpose to do 8o | now and 2t any other time. For the accom- plishment of this object it is necessary. to r tain a battalion of the Seventeenth two mont longer. My belief is that the large majority of Dattos will not support those implicated in the murders. Parang-Parang is an anchorage in Pol- loc harbor, on the west coast of the main- land of Mindanao. Malabang lies about | twenty miles north on the coast, and is | connected by a military cable. Lake La- inao is situated about twenty-five miles | northwest of Malabang. { 1 News Was Kept Secret. | It was admitted at the department tnat | | General Chaffee informed Secretary Root | | three weeks ago in relation to the atti- | { tude adopted by the Moros, but it was de- | cided to keep the news secret, in the | hope that General Chaffee by a persqnal visit to Mindanao would be able to ef- fect a settlement of the trouble. Having. | failed to reach an agreement with the Mcros and military operations being | necessary, the department decided that | it wouid be unwise to further conceal the | facts, and the message from General Chaffee was therefore given to the press. The Moros have a reputation of being | warlike, bold and rapacious. The Philip- | pine Commission in its znnuul Teports ur- | gently recommended -that measures be | taken to conciliate them, apprehending { that if any friction occurred a prolonged and fierce war would cnsue. Fighting has | | occurred with the American troops on the | north coast of Mindanao. \ | The War. Department stated that it would be unnecessary to send_additional | troops to the Philipbines to ‘take the | place of those which were ordered from | Luzon to ~Mindanao. General Chaffee | | has been given no instructions, but will | order as large a force to the scene of | the new difficulty as he may. consider de- sirable. Colonel Baldwin, who is in| “(‘ommand of the expedition ‘which will! | start for Lake Lamao, will, under in- structions given him, endeavor to pre- vent trouble with the Dattos who are | not involved in the dispute' with the' | Americans, | General Chaffee states that it is his be- licf that a large majority of the Dat- | tos will not support those implicated in | the murder of American soldiers, but the ! | minority may be powerful for all the| , Gepartment knows, and by reason of the | Mahommedan religion which binds all| ihe people of this tribe {ogether may in- duce many of those still friendly to join |in a religious. war against the United | States. The . report of _Lieutenant Colonel Dickman, Twenty-sixth Volunteer Infan- try, which was referred to at yesterday's | Cabinet meet ing as part of the initial investigation of the charges of cruelty to the Filipinos, was submitted to Con- | gress two months ago, but received very | little attention at the time. The lciter was written by Colonel Dickman from an Francisco, April 24 the Presidio, 901. He had been directed to invest! sate Sergeant Riley's charges that the water cure was administered at Igbaras, a fact which he testified to before the Senate committee last Monday. Colonel | Dickman made this return in part to the | ‘War Departmen | Sergeant Rile | Infantry, U. 8. V., states that the publication | inclosed was of a private letter and wllhoull Company M, Twenty-sixth any authority whatevér. The tendency of en- listed men to w the long bow in such cases is well known. Major Cook, Captain MacDon- ald and Sergeant Riley state that no officers or soldiers of his regiment took part in any so- | called water cure proceedings or other threats | against the natives on the occasion stated. Colonel Dickman then gives a list of atrocitles inflicted bv the Filipinos upon Americans unfortunate enough to fall into their hands. He tells of ambushes and assassinations and burning of sol- diers by slow fires and of burial alive of American soldiers. all of which he offers to prove in detall. | Insurgent Troops Surrender. MANILA, April 18.—General Malvar has uneonditionally surrendered to Brig- adier General Bell at Liva, Batangas province, with the entire insurgent force | i ! of the provinces of Laguna and Batan- as. General Bell says his (Bell's) in- | fluence is sufficient to quell the insurrec- tiorary movements In Tayabas and Cavite provinces and capture all those in the field who have not yet surrendered, but Malvar has ordered the complete sur- 1ender of every insurgent to the nearest American force. General Wheaton, re- porting' to the civision headquarters, ys that all resistance in his department s d the surrenders just an- nounced means that/the ports will be cpened and that the Filipinos in the de- tention camps will be allowed to return to their homes in time .to plant their crops.

Ac- cording to.her, purser the Mambare found on her arrival at Tanna that a big can- nibalistic feast was being held by tne na- tives, They had taken a number of pris- oners in a_recent attack on some vil- lages of their rivals, and when the Mam- bare reached port,” some distance from the native village, they were engaged in eating the unfortunates who had been captured or killed. Some of the prisoners were brought alive to the fire of the feasting natives, and after they had seen some of their former comrades being roasted they were murdered before the assembled company. During the feast one of the natives, who had been buried alive and had been underground twelve days, was exhumed and cooked and eaten with the rest. On Banto and the other islands, the Mambare found the natives quieter, there being no fighting other than that incident to some head-hunting at one of the small- er islands. The German warship Cormorant returned to Sydney from her cruise to the Bis- marck archipelago, New Britain and the \Marshall and Caroline islands, and re- ported that she had landed boats’ compa- nies at an outlying island of New Britain to punish the natives for the murder of Mr. Meincke and several of his party while they were engaged in the pursuit of 8cience.

Three Hundred Theusand Men Are Now Out on a Strike. BRUSSELS, April 16.—The diplomatic, private and public galleries in the Cham- ber of Representatives were filled fo their capacity to-day when the debate on the proposed revision of the constitution be- { gan. Beernaert, the former president of the Chamber and’ ‘Secretary of State, i opened the discussion. He was frequent- Iy interrupted by Van der Veide, the So- | clalist leader, with shouts of “Universal rage is supreme. | 5 eerhacrt expressed the belief that the present Belgian electoral system was sat- | 1sfactory. He referred to the numerous social laws passed during the last fifteen | years at the behest of-the Socialists, and | sald the latter's solt recognition of ie passage of these laws was the declaration of a general strike,. accompanied by | threats of violence. After the speech of .Beernaert and a speech delivered by Keron, Progressist, which monopolized the'entire session and | fell ' very flat, the opening day of the | great debate on the proposed revision of the constitution ended in what was al- most a fiasco. Government Is Recalcitrant. The promised great demonstration in the streets on the adjournment of the { Chamber dwindled to the appearance of 200 persons, who accompanied the Social- ist Deputies to the office of their organ, Le Peuple, where Van der Velde from a window addressed the crowd. He said the day’s proceedings in the Chamber had not: modified the situation and that the Government was still recalcitrant and { had shifted the responsibility for a disso- i lution of Parliament, which the revision- ists would demand if the Chamber rejects | the proposal to revise the constitution, | on the King, who thus far had been si- | lent. A feeling is gaining ground that the Government will entirely reject the pro- Posed revision of the constitution. The number of strikers in the chief in- dustrial centers are estimated as follows: At Charleroi, 50,000; in the central district, ,000; at Borinage, 25,000; at Liege, 30,000, and at Verviers, 8000. Later in the day large accessions to the ranks of the strik- | #rs at Charlerol brought the total in that district to 60,000. Strikers Cause Damage. The glass works at Courcelles were practically destroyed by fire last night. It is estimated that the damage will amount to 600,000 francs. It is believed the fire was started by an incendiary. Disturbances were reported from various parts of the country to-day. Small bombs were exploded at Liege and elsewhere. A bottle filled with gunpowder was ex- ploded at the door of a residence and at the glass works at Mariemont, near La Louviere. Only trifling damage was done by the explosion of the bombs. At Renaix an earthenware jar, with a fuse attached to it, was discovered on the threshold of the Catholic Club. The fuse | was extinguished by a_ passer-by. The | only other incident at Renaix was- the throwing of a plece of lightéd tow into a' schaol.! s The strike is spreading in Brussels. About 10,000 men are now out. It is esti- mated. that 300,000 men are out on strike throughout the country. " Dispatches. from Liege annource that 2000 striking miners and steel workers at Seraing had a conflict with the troops there. The soldiers charged and the strik- ers retaliated with 'a fusillade of stones. Some of the rioters finally sought refuge in three taverns, which were wrecked.

MORGAN PLANS MAL DEBATE Opponents of a Water- way Not Able to Sink the Issue. Vigorous Attack Is to Be Made on the Panama Opposition. ~xp Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 406 G STREET, N. W.. WASHINGTON, April 16.—Anti-canal and Panama canal - Senators who have been seeking to bury the question of an interoceanic waterway for the session had an unpleasant surprise to-day, when Senator. Morgan, chairman of the Com- mittee on Interoceanic Canals, gave notice that he would call up the Hepburn Nica- tagua cznal bill to-morrow for the pur- pose of making a speech upon it. Senator Morgan's purpose is to get a full alscussion of the canal question from the Nicaragua side before the country. He is expected to attack all the claims of | the Panama opposition and to show that if the United States is to ever have a éanal it must be by way of Lake Nica- ragua. Undoubtedly the opponents of Nicara- gua have not abandoned their efforts to defer . legislation: at this session. Their origina! plan was to postpone all discus- sion of tHe question, just as they did at| the ‘last -session after the Hepburn bill had passed the House. This time they | have been compelled to yield to the senti- | ment of the Senate and consent to a dis- | cussion of the bill. Only in this way have | they been able to prevent an open revolt, | which would long ago have smashed | party lines. Many of the Republicans in the Senate who would like to postpone this question | are hesitating because they realize that there is a tremendous sentiment in favor of - the Hepburn measure North, South, East and West, and are convinced that inaction at this time means a perilous deflance of the will of the voters. If the bill should ever reach a vote there is no doubt whatever that it will pass the Senate. The discussion of the | bill as a regular order will not be reached | until after the Philippine civil govern- ! ment bill has been disposed of. Whether | the Cuban reciproeity bill or the Hepburn | bill will then have the right of way rests with the Senate’s Committee on Order of Business.
