Denver. June 2s.-A Republican spe
cial from Montrose last night says:
The board Of directors Of the Uncom'

tion met with Mr.. Newell. chief engi-
neer OF the United States Geological
Survey. to-day Mr.. Newell spoke en-
Enthusiastically. After looking over the

pleased to be able to report that in
stead OF its being a difficult engineer
ing proposition, the change which had
been made in the route OF the tunnel
and in the line of canal to be con

Mr. Newell further stated that he
was pleased with the report OF the
committee which showed 1G.11l acres
in proper form for acceptance by the
government and 10000 acres pledged
to be put in legal form as soon as pos
sible. which will be in about two

Tolstoi Scores Russia.

London, June 27.-The Times this
morning prints ten-column disserta-
tion on the Russo-Japanese war writ
ten by Count Tolstoi in his most violent
style The trend of this remarkable
document. is, first. against all war, but
It is principally thunderous philippe
against the Russian government and
the Russian orthodox church and gen.
orally against the existing order of
things.
Tolstoi says that the reservists
throughout Russia are dissatisfied,
gloomy and exasperated, and the old
appeal for faith, king and fatherland
has lost its spell over the Russian
masses"
The ten columns 'breathe gloomy
forebodings and preach revolution. Tol-
stoi holds the Emperor up to contempt
as an unfortunate and entangled
young man. recognized as the leader Of
130.OOO,0OO people, continually deceived
and compelled to contradict himself"
Tolstoi. however, does not stop with
Russia, for Japan is given a share of
his stinging comments for having forci-
bly, resisted what he terms the "un-
provoked aggression of Russia"

THE STORY OF HIS CAPTIVITY
Bandit RaisuIi Said the Only Way to

Tansier. June 26.-Ion Perdicaris.
the American who last week was re-
leased by the brigand Raisuli. was
much better to-day. and gave the As
scciated Press an interview descriptive
of the circumstances of his capture and
of his experiences while prisoner in
Raisulfs camp.
He saws that on the night OF May
18th he had Just entered the drawing
room after dinner and, hearing a noise
among the servants, he and Cromwell

who bound and maltreated them. Var
ley resisted and was struck on the head
with the butt of rife, and knife was
slashed across his hands. making ser
ious wounds. At first it was thought
Varley's skull had been fractured.
Perdicaris and Varley were then car
ried away on horseback. They were
bound with ropes, and roundabout
roads were taken in order to avoid vii
lagos. The bandits stopped at Tsarra-
dent twenty-four hours from Tangier,
and Raisuli allowed Perdicaris to write
to his wife the next morning. and also
to the shereef OF Wazan, asking him to
intervene for himself and Varley
At Tsarradent the captives lived in
filthy hut. They were not allowed to
go 100 yards away from it. and were
strongly guarded. When the shereet
OF Wazan arrived big tent was placed
at the disposal of the prisoners and in
other ways the shereef was the means
OF alleviating their condition to con-
siderable extent.
The attitude of the Moors changed
from insult to fair treatment.
Spies of the pretender, who were in
the camp all the time, tried to induce
Varley to accept post under the pre-
tender.
Raisuli daily called and held long
conversations with the prisoners. He
said anarchy was reigning in the coun-
try. The animosity of the people, he
said, was not directed against the Sui
tan. but against his governors.
Raisuli's father, Perdicaris. said. left
him much property and cattle, which
aroused the animosity Of the Kaids.

rob Raisuli of his belongings and final

On his release Raisuli interviewed
Mohammed Ell Torres. representative Of
the Sultan at Tangier, concerning the
restitution of his property. and this be-
ing without avail. Raisuli swore to
take the law into his own hands with
the results already known.
Raisuli said that he bore no i'll will
toward the Europeans. but stated that
the only way to bring the Moorish
government to its senses was by cap
turing Europeans until foreign powers
awaken to a realization of the existing
conditions.
Mr. Perdicaris said that Raisuli was
posing as a patriot who wants to see
the country happy and peaceful, and he
