Moro Unrest and Philippine Church Schism
The Moros, living in the vicinity of Lake Lanao, P. I., are growing very restless, and are showing indications of trouble. In one encounter with these recently three American soldiers were killed, tho the attacking party of Moros was driven off. A party of these Moros attacked a battery recently, and were driven off after a day's firing. A clash has occurred between the regular Catholics and the Philippine Catholic Church which is under the leadership of Aglipay. Monsignor Rooker has taken possession of the Catholic Church at La Paz, and Aglipay has entered a protest to the governor. Monsignor Rooker has threatened to “take drastic measures to curb the schismatics.”
