PASSIVE CAMPAIGN PLANNED

egy is based on the idea of victory and
not defeat-success would be fruitless.
We could not follow it up without ex-
posing the army to too great risks.
"On account of the Japanese control
of the sea IL we pursued the enemy into
the peninsula of Korea we would open
both flanks to possible attack from
the rear. No, the Japanese must come
on to a point in the interior which,
with this end in view, has been select
ed, where we can follow up a crushing
defeat to the bitter end with blow after
blow. and seal the fate of the cam
paign.
Our plans will converge at time
next summer when Vice Admiral Max
aroff's fleet will be relieved by the ar
rival of reinforcements. Then If sue
cessful on land, we can clear the sea
of the enemy, cut his communications,
s.:d the Japanese in Korea and Man
churia will then be at our mercy.
"The world must not be impatient.
The prelude to this war is not yet fin
ished."
1t is understood here that as the re-
suit of General Kufopatkin's visit to
New Chwang, reinforcements of 100,-
600 men will be sent forward from Lao

HABEAs CORPUS
is NOT HoNoREo BY MILITARY

General Bell and Captain Wells Re-
fuse to Produce President Meyer
Before Judge Stevens and are Or
eered to Be Arrested.
Denver. April ia Republican
special from Ouray last night says:
Judge Theron stevens this morning
ordered that General Bell and Captain
Wells be arrested and placed in Jail
in Ouray county and that bail be re-
fused; also that each be required to
pay fine of $500 and costs.
This action was taken because of
their alleged contempt of court in fail
ing to produce in court Charles H.
Meyer. president Of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners, as commanded by
the writ of habeas corpus issued upon
the petition OF Meyer and made re-
turnable at Ouray to-day.
Attorney General Miller, Assistant
Attorney General Hersey and Deputy
District Attorney Il. c. Howe of Tel;
luride appeared for the respondents;
General Bell and Captain Bulkeleyi
Wells and Attorney Il. F. Richardson
of Denver represented the petitioner,
Neither the respondents nor the Pc,
t;tioner, Charles II. Meyer. were pres
ent. Judge Stevens and the attorneys
entered the court house few min
utes after S'o'clock and at once pro-
ceeded to the business in hand, which
had attracted many spectators.
No sooner had court convened than
Attorney Howe made motion to.
ouash the return of service of the writ
upon General Bell and Captain Wells,
which motion was overruled, Judge
Stevens giving it as his judgment that
there was no condition Of insurrection
or rebellion in San Miguel county and
that II such insurrection and rebellion
existed, it was by virtue Of the unlaw-
full and unconstitutional usurpation OF
power on the part of Governor Pea
body and the military authorities.
The judge then arraigned Governor
Peabody and the military. He refused
TO permit the filing Of the return made
by General Bell and Captain Wells; Is.
sued an order OF attachment for their
arrest. and assessed a fine of $500
against each, together with the costs
of the action.
In his arraignment the judge eX-
pressed regrets that Governor Peabody
was not present in court, as he consid-
cred him equally guilty with General
Bell and Capt. Wells. The attorneys
explained to the judge that Meyer was
in the custody of Governor Peabody, as
the commanding officer of the National
Guard and that it was not safe for the
military authorities to bring President
Meyer before the court in person.
This raised the ire OF the judge and
fer few moments the proceedings
were animated. The proceedings did
not occupy more than an hours time.
and when the decision was announced
it created no little excitement.
Sheriff Corbett probably Will leave
tomorrow morning for Telluride to
serve the writ of attachment upon Gen
eral Bell and Captain Wells. With the
writ served 1t is the opinion Of attor-
neys that the case will be taken out Of
Judge Stevens hands to the Supreme
Court.
Attorneys Miller and Hersey left
soon after the decision was given.
Judge Stevens went to Gunnison,
where he will open term of the Dis.
trlct Court tomorrow morning. Mr..
Miller went 10 Telluride and Mr.. Her
sey to Denver.
