Moro Women Borne the Brunt at Dajo Hill Fight
Major General Wood arrives and takes responsibility for the Dajo Hill confrontation near Jolo. He says there was no wanton destruction of women and children though many were killed by force of necessity as Moros used them as shields. He notes women wore male attire and could not be distinguished. He cites religious frenzy incited by priests and Moros feigning death. American hospital men were butchered in relieving the wounded, and Wood asserts no American soldier killed a woman or child except in close action where distinction was impossible.
