MOROS AND CONSTABULARY. A PITCHED BATTLE. (Received 8, 8.40 a.m.) Manila, Aug. 7. Fifty Moros were killed and many wounded in a pitched battle with Philippine constabulary on Mindanao Island. Three police were wounded.— (A. and N.Z.)
FANATICS’ STRONGHOLD ATTACKED. THE RISING BROKEN. (Received 8, noon). Manila, Aug. 7. For some weeks past a number of fanatical Moros have been gathering in the rocky strongholds of Mount Gurayn, near Lake Linao, on the island of Mindanao, where they have threatened and defied the Government, refusing repeated inducements to lay down their arms and peaceably return to their homes. A Constabulary column attacked them, and killed 46 of the Moros, including the leadeis. The remainder scattered, and the uprising has been broken. The Constabulary casualties amount to three. —(Reuter).
