Governor General of the Philippines Wright discusses the Moros in the Moro province, a stronghold of Muslim rebellion, under the governance of Leonard Wood. Wood describes the skirmish with “a band of outlaws under Ali” as not a “cause for anxiety,” and Wright believes Wood is correct in his assessment. Wright also discusses the new government, money awarded for infrastructure, and an act abolishing slavery.
