Denver, Colo, April II. When
of The Times with the Japanese head
quarters sends the following, dated
April IL, by wireless telegraph, via
WeiHai-Wei: "At present information
from the land front must be belated,
owing to the distance of the existing
sea base from the advance guard, but
this will soon be remedied. 1t is
doubtful whether the long-exRected
engagement for the possession Of the
Yalu river will ever take place; GER
tainly not unless the Russians have
been reinforced more heavily than my
information leads me to believe.
ssThis was foreseen by the Japa-
nese. and hence their strenuous ef-
forts to block Port Arthur. so that
they may be able to reduce the length
Of their land communications by the
establishment Of more convenient sea
base 1t must be remembered that
unless the japanese secure the north
of the Yalu with new base by July
the Land movements from Korea will
become practically impossible. The
rain fan Of summer is SO heavy that
all the flimsy bamboo bridges will be
destroyed.
This would indicate that it Is not
to the advantage Of either belligerent
to engage In struggle in the vicinity
Of the Yalu- The Russians desire to
get the Japanese forces inland with
the hope Of enveloping them, while
the japanese want to Get inland be-
cause the country affords more suita-
Bile theater of operations. As the time
Is short a new effort Of the Japanese
must be developed almost immediate

Learns a Lesson from the Past.
ST. Petersburg. April 12.-Exception-
ally reliable information regarding the
Russian military plans confirms the re-
peated announcements made by the As
Sociated Press that these plans will not
mature until late in the summer. They
are of far greater magnitude than is
generally believed abroad, and take
into account all possible contingencies.
General Kuropatkin. remembering the
experience of Russia during her war
with Turkey, when the Russian army
of 10000 placed in the field at the
beginning had to be more than doubled,
has insisted that the men and guns
to be placed at his disposal shall COW
er the extreme limit required to set
tie the fate of the campaign.
Adopts a NspoIeonic Dictum.
The Russian plans are predicated up
On NapoleOn's dictum that God fights
on the side of the heaviest battalions,"
and they are being worked out and
timed SO us to apply to a superiority
of numbers on land and sea simultan-
eously. The army is designed to atatin
the enormous total of 100000 Ak the
time scheduled for the reinforcement
of Vice Admiral Makaroff's fleet with
the Baltic squadron. The Seventeenth
and Tenth army corps, now drafting,
are expected to reach Manthwia by
the middle of June. The mobilization
of four other corps. at least two of
which will be from the Volea, will be
announced by the middle of next
month, and will start eastward a month
later. reaching their destination at the
end Of August.

required the officers to bring before
the court Charles H. Meyer, president
Of the Western Federation of Miners,
whom they are holding i'm confinement
at Telluride The court ordered Sheriff

Of Governor James III. Peabody and
the military authorities, saying they
appeared to be in insurrection against
the court.

Gen. Bell Utters a Defiance.

Telluride, Colo, April 12.-When
General Sherman Nj. Bell was in
formed that JudgN Stevens had ordered
himself and Captain Wells arrested
and confined in the Ouray county Jail
on the charge Of contempt, he said:
''If Sheriff Corbett takes us to Ouray Y
it will have to be over the dead bodies
Of all the soldiers under my command
In this county. He has not got men
enough to do that. The situation de-
mands that we stay at Telluride. Mr..
Meyer will never be produced In court
until Governor Peabody orders me to
do so, unless he escapes and goes over
the range on snow Shoes"
The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1904-04-14
Judge Takes Radical Action.

Judge Stevens refused to permit the
filing of the return to the writ. ordered
that Charles III. Meyer be discharged
from custody, issued an order of at
tachment against General Bell and
Captain Wells, assessed a fine of $500
each, and expressed regret that the
governor was not before the court as
he considered him equally guilty with
General Bell and Captain Wells.

Will Apply to the Supreme Court.

If the military continues to disre-
gard the orders of the court and re-
fuses to release President Meyer At
torney E. +. Richardson, representing
the Western Federation of Miners, will
apply to the state supreme court for
writ of habeas corpus. The return
to the writ made by General Bell
through Assistant District Attorney
David Howe. of Telluride, excused his
failure to produce the body of Meyer
on the ground that he deemed it un-
safe to bring Meyer to Ouray or to
reduce the military force i'm San Miguel
county by so doing, and that the gov
ernor had ordered him to disregard the
writ.
The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1904-04-14
Grave Question Is Presented.

Judge Stevens said: 'The people Of
Ouray will rightly resent the imputa-
ton that General Bell or Captain Wells
could not come alone and in safety
with President Meyer beforethis court.
A very grave question is presented as
to whether 1t is the striking miners
or the governor of Colorado and the
National Guard that are engaged in
insurrection and rebellion against the
laws of the state. III there is to be a
reign of military despOtism in this
state, and civil authority is to have no
jurisdiction. the latter might as well
go out of business"
