MOROS DROPPED W
DEW EIRE,
i Over a Hundred Natives Were Killed
and Sixty Captured, Including
the Sultan—Two Americans
Were Killed and Seven
Wounded.
i
Manila, May 7. Captain Pershing's col
umn has defeated the sultan of Ampara
gano’s strong forces of Moros in the Tara
caco river district, on the east
■ shore of Lake Unao, island of
' Mindanao. The Americans cap
tured ten forts One hundred and fifteen
Moros w re killed, thirteen wounded and
sixty were made prisoners. The Moros
captured Included the sultan. Two Amer
icans were killed and seven wounded.
The ten forts constituted serious and
strong positions on the bank of the Ta
raca. river and from them the Moros
vigorously resisted Captain Pershing's
advance. The American troops attacked
the forts Monday and captured eight of
them v ithout suffering any losses, though
the thirty-six obsolete cannon mounted
on the fortifications were served with the
best of the enemy’s ability. The garri
son of the ninth fort resisted fiercely
and Captain Pershing ordered the fort to
be shelled and captured by assault, which
was done. Lieutenants Shaw and Gracle,
leading two companies of the Twenty
seventh infantry, and a detachment of
cavalry surrounded the tenth fort, where
the sultan had sought refuge, and it sur
rendered Tuesday. The forts have been
dismantled.
Captain Pershing moved north Tues
day to complete the exploration of the
east shore of the lake. No further re
sistance Is expected.
The Spanish gunboat Petaseo. sunk by
the ships of Admiral Dewey off Cavite,
has been raised. Her hull is not injured,
but her upper works show the effect of
the American shells.
