HONGKONG TELEGRAPH.

The U.S. War Department has avacuated all American troops from the Mysang district in the island of Mindanao which, as a result, is faced with conquest by the dreaded Moro ban- dits. Alipang, the Moro leader, dams up Mysang's water supply and cholera ravages the vil- lago. Hartley and Canavan act out to dynamite the dam, succeed in doing so, but find that the Moros have loft to attack Mysang. They hurriedly return as McCool and Linda Hartley, the only Americans in the village, organito the Filipino native constabulary to meet the More threat. THE sound of the rushing,

tumbling waters struck into the village as a hollow shell is filled with the sound of the sea.

A sentry saw the foaming avalanche first and ran down the deserted street, waving his rifle in wild joy, shouting the news..

Unbelievingly a few na tives crept from

their houses! more and more came running and, after the first incredulous look, fell laughing and crying into the crystal torrent. Like a huge catch of fish in a net, the entire village splashed and floundered in the whirling waters, throw- ing up a silver spray.

The dark body of a young native boy leaned over to drink from his cupped hands and a spear buried itself in the curved back; oven as the blood trickled into the sunlit water and the body sank below the surface, a rain the of spears descended ON bathing natives.

The cries of joy pitched with, scarcely a break into screams .of terror, nal the happy

floundering became a wild rout
