The result was accomplished by a gallant assault on the principal Moro fort and its capture after a number of leading Moroa had been killed. The cablegram was as follows: The following is the full Mibstancs of Brigadier-Gener- al George V. Davis message from Bayan: Eighty-fou- r survivors of the Torres of Sultan Bayan surrendered unconditionally this morning at 7 oclock. Sultan Bayan, Raja Mud a Bayan, Sultan Iandapatau and all tbe leading Dattos are dead, also many of their followers. The assault on the principal fort which surrendered last night, waa one of the most gallant performances of American arms. Colonel Frank I). Baldwin and his regiment deserve all d praise for the struggle in four lines of ditches under the walla of the fort. These trenches are lined with Moro dead from the rifle fire. 1 have never seen or heard of any performance excelling this gallant fight. 'It is my painful duty to report that the overthrow of Moro power waa not accomplished without severe loss. One officer and seven enlisted men were killed, four officers and thirty enlisted men wounded. I will telegraph the list later. 'After the eighty-fosurvivors were marched out this morning aa prisoners, and it was understood they were all, eight others, who had concealed themselves in rubbisli Inside the fort, made a break for liberty, but did not succeed. 'Some of the Moro wounded tried to stab the soldiers trying to help them. It is impossible to state tiie number of Moros killed, many lying in the tall grass. The surrender saves us from a long siege and starving them out. It was impossible to liave carried the works without scaling ladders, which were ready. T intend to retain the prisoners until two or three small adjacent forts are occupied, then I will consent to release aa hostages eight or ten of the principals, and then release tbe others.
