AFTER THE BATTLE OF MOUNT DAJO (March 9, 1906).

From a negative made on the spot the day of the "brave feat of arms," when a great body of Moros, men, women and children, were killed by the army under Gen. Wood; "a logical incident in the sequence of events which will include the whole history of the Philippine posessions."
