Judge Brooks will file his decision on

we'll understood as tho the court had

SUBMARINES WIN
IN MIMIC BATTLE
Experiment by British Navy Re-
suits in Defeat for Bat
tleships.
Destroyers Shield New Type Of
Warship in Attack on
Fleet.
New York Sun Special Service.

New xofK Sun Spec1al SerV1ce.
London, March 10.-A feature is
made in this mornings papers Of a
mimic naval engagement, in the course
Of which three battleships and one
cruiser were sent to the bottom by
submarines. ..-
The general idea Of the maneuvers
Is to obtain data as to the value of
submarines for the defense of ports,
and as to the best means Of employ
ing this new type for that purpose:
Admiral Wilson, with three battle
ships and five cruisers, received or
ders Tuesday to force an entrance into
Portsm outh harbor.
The submarine hotilla defending the
port was aware that an attack would
be made at night. When the battle
ships were within range of the forts
The lighter artillery ashore at once
responded, and for several minutes a
furious battle ragged.
Under cover Of this cannonade, four
destroyers stealthily steamed towards
the assailants, using every precaution
to escape detection.
Along the side of each destroyer
and close under it's port beam, was
a submarine, cleverly screened from
the battleships. The long, low hulls
of the destroyers moved cautiously
thru the water to within striking dis
lance Of the great battleships amid
the booming of blank ammunition
from the forts and ships.
When the appointed distance had
been reached, four destroyers wheeled
about and fell back. AT the same
instant the four submarines made
| their dive and vanished below the sur
face. Y The destroyers drew the atten-
ton Of the battleships, and on them
all possible guns we're concentrated.
Suddenly four black hulks rose like
porpoises above the water, one along
side each Of the four battleships, and
claimed them as vanquished.
The surprise on board the battle
ships was complete. The screen OF
| the destroyers had done it's work adj
mirably, and altho the success of the
submarines was disputed had the en-
gagement been real, the battleships
would have been blown up. without
their crews having the. faintest ides
where the torpedoes came from. There
was no chance Of successfully coping
with this insidious attack.
The crews Of the submarines de.
clare they could have torDedoed al
four battleships without seriously en-
dangerlng their own craft.
The best and latest of the subma-
rines broke down and, unfortunately
could not be employed.

Washington, March 10.-Informa-
ton comes from a reliable source to-
day that Tans Bixby has decided not
to resign from the Dawes commission,
but will comply with the terms of the
presidents letter accompanying Bo-
naparte's report to congress. He has
SO informed Secretary Hitchcock by
letter.
According to the interpretation of
the presidents communication by Blk
by and his friends. it will not be nee
cial and real estate holdings In In
dian Territory. because they do not
conflict in any way with the work Of
the commission.
At the department, however, it is
| understood that the president intended
| to require all members of the OOm-
mission to dispose Of their stock in
| trust companies and banks and real
estate acquired since they became
members Of the commission.
| It Is believed that Bixby will &C
cept this interpretation Of the Pres,ii,,
dents and secretary's letters and will
sell his stock In the Canadian Valley
Trust company and the Muskegotee
Telephone company. He owns several
pieces Of real estate In Mudkogee and
probably will sell all but his residence.
It is understood that Bixby's first
intention was to resign. but he was
persuaded by his friends not to take
that step, because. If he should, the
impression would go abroad that 1t
was forced.
Neither he nor his friends admit
that he has done anything wrong.

Considerable anxiety regarding Mr..

Tested on account Of the circulation
of reports among members Of the
house Of commons that he is suffering
from an incurable mental affection.
1t was whispered about to-day that
Mr.. Chamberlain was in the incipient
stages of softening of the brain.
Where this report originated it has
not been learned, nor was it possible
to obtain information either confirm
ing or denying the report. It finds
little credence among the friends Of
Mr.. Chamberlain, a1tho they are dis
turbed by. it.
Those opposed to Mr.. Chamberlain's
fiscal policy seem more ready to re-
gard the report as within the realms
of probability. Some say 1t would ex-.
plain why the, ex-colonial secretary
went off to Egypt in the middle Of his
fight, leaving his campaign practical
ly without a leader.
It is suggested that Mr.. Chamber
lain's present condition is probably a
sequel to the cab accident In which
he was seriously injured in the coro-
nation year.

ment Of Vladivostok March s, says:
AS prearranged we reached the east en-

March 6 thru frozen sea. The enemy's
ships were not seen outside the harbor.
We approached the batteries on the

After bombarding the. inner harbor forty
minutes, from 1:50 o'clock in the after

the land batteries did not reply to our
fire. Black smoke was observed at the
east entrance to the harbor about o'clock
p. M, and was thought to be from the
enemy's ships, but this smoke gradually
disappeared.
On the morning Of March we recon
