Show MOROS HAVE A PLENTY. Pershing's Men Killed Nine Datos and One Sultan at Taraca. Captain Pershing and his column have returned to Camp Vicars, Minda nao, from the expedition through the country east of Lake Lanao. The column col-umn experienced no opposition after the fighting at Taraca. The prisoners captured at Taraca took the oath o( allegiance to the United States and were released. Among the Moros killed in the Taraca forts were nine dattos and one sultan. The moral effect ef-fect of this fight will be far-reaching, and it is doubtful if there will be any further hostility in the Lake Lanao country. Captain Pershing estimates the population pop-ulation of Taraca at 30,000, and that of the district at 100,000. He says the population of the Lake Lanao district has been under-estimated. |
