Notorious Outlaw Cornered By Filipino Troops
Manila, Aug. 12.
A strong Army force, supported by field and naval artillery and fighter bombers, was reported today to have cornered the notorious Moro outlaw leader, Hadji Kamlon, in the hills of Eastern Jolo.
The government, however, gave Kamlon one "last chance" to surrender or be killed. Kamlon was notified of this through loudspeakers in planes hovering over his stronghold and in "leaflets dropped by the planes.
Extradition
Application
Is Rejected
New York, Aug. 11,

Kamlon's brother was reported to have been killed during sholi- ing of the area occupied by the outlaws, but this report could not be confirmed.
Kamion's band has been estimated at some 300 people. The area in which they are pocketed is about 50 square kilometres of hilly territory covered in parts by thick forests, in the eastern portion of Jolo Island.
HEAVILY SHELLED
While the troops pressed the ditve, naval units were deployed around the eastern shores of possible Jolo to seal off any
