Indications ALI Point
To a General Uprising
Especial Copyright cable.)

ST PETERSBURG, June 2-Ths
news from Poland today has over
sfadowed interest in the peace negotia-
tons and the progress of hostilities In
Manchuria While the authorities seek
to minimize the situation, so far as
the public is concerned. and the news
permitted to reach the people is censored
with unsparing hand. il is admitted
privately that the conditions III Poland
could not well be worse, that the indi-
cations all point to a general uprising,
which may be hard to subdue without
fierce fighting and the slaughter OF
thousands. 1t is not known here how
heavy the casualties at Lodz have been,
but that hundreds, if not thousands,
have been killed and wounded is ad-
mitted
There would be no chance for anything
like successful revolutionary move
nent IL the trouble could be confined to
Poland. Troops viii be sent there in
sufficient numbers TO crush the rising
without loss of time. Already troops
from the garriSonS in nearby provinces,
where disafection is least rife, are be-
ing rushed 10 Poland. and in a few days.
al furthest. that country will De an
armed camp and quiet viii be restored,
even II 1t is the quiet OF death, say
the Russian officials.
May Encourage Other Revolutionists.
What is feared is that the concentra-
ton of troops in Poland may encourage
the revoiutionists in other sections to
take advantage of the weakening of the
military forces to make foreible demon
sIrations, and that the movement will
spread throughout the entire empire
Already in the Caucasus and in Trans
Caucasia a state of war exists and
! while the government maintains q SEM
blance of order ii is with difficulty that
even this is done with the assistance
of troops which are badly needed else

IN the Black sea provinces practically
the same conditions exist.
Revolutionary Party Strong.
ne revolutionary party is. strong and
growing stronger in Lithuania and Fin
land. while even in Moscow. and ST.
Petersburg 1t is practically admitted
that only the presence of the troops
prevents trouble. II would, in fact. be
hard to find place in the empire which
is safe from revolt
To complicate matters, news comes
that the Jew-baiterS in Eishenef AID

Old quarrels aseongst the high admin

suited two years ago in the creation OF
the general staff. have been revived in
measure by recent important changes
IN the general staff
The friction exists between the military

Chaffee -Ainsworth Feud.
General Chaffee and Gen Fred C.
Ainsworth are at the head of these re-
spective departments. Both are positive
natures, and each desires to have his
own way in the management of affairs.
The controlling influence which has
prevented any open breach between
these two departments IS the Secretary
CT War. Secretary Taft has kept things
running smoothly under the new scheme.
AT times. however, the greatest amount
of tact, IL is said, has been necessary
on his part to prevent friction.
The heads of the general staff and the
military secretarys department rarely
consult together Questions often arise
which are seriously affected by the di-
vided authority.
Creation of General Staff
The creation of the general staff was
due to Maj. Gen Henry c. Corbin.
When adjutant general he had a dis
agreement with Gen. Nelson A. Miles.
This led TO the formation Of a general
staff and the abolition of the position
of commanding general Of the army.
General Corb1n himself succeeds TO the
command OF the general staff at the end
of two years.
President Roosevelt has detailed the
following officers for duty as members
of the General Staff Corps:
Col James T. Kerr, military secretary
Lieut.. Col. Benjamin Alvord, military
secretary; Maj. Erasmus NJ Weaver,
Artillery Corps; George w. Reed. Ninth
Cavalry.

GASKILL'S OPERATIONS

Suspension of Philadelphia Trust Com
pany Renders Worthless the Bonds
of Municipal Contractors.

As a direct result of the brilliant
irregularities in finance of Benjamin F.
Gaskfll. the Philadelphia broker who Is
said 10 have capped the climax of his
stealings by labelling the body of pau
per with his own name and haS tr>s il
buried, that ne might go into hiding
without being forced to dodge pursuing
poiics, there was much excitement be-
neatFl the surface at the District build
ing this morning.
As has been announced in connection
with Gaskilfs operations in securing
large sums of money on gilt-edged
stock certificates which he raised to
many times their face value, the City
Trust and Safe Deposit Company, of
Philadelphia, of which former Chief of
the Bureau of Manufactures ]. Hamp-
ton Moore is president, closed its doors.
Bonds of Contractors.
The feature OF this whole series OF
transactions, most interesting to the
District government, is that the City
Trust and Safe Deposit Company ap-
pears as security on the bonds OF many
plumbers and other contractors who are
engaged in work In the Capital. Proba-
bly, the largest contract whose fulfll-
ulent is guaranteed by bond OF the
concern now in the hands of receivers
is one in connection with the new sew
age disposal system. Sullivan Broth
ers are to do this work, their pending
contract amounting to about $780, Au-
ditor Garrison, after conference with
other District officials. decided that all
contractors on whose bonds the City
Trust and Safe Deposit Company ap-
near. will Immediately be asked 10 fur
n{Sb new security.

BERLIN, June PA closer study of
the French note on the Morocco aues-
ton has, it is said, convinced the Ger
man foreign office that 1t leaves the way
open for satisfactory settlement
through the usual channels of diplo-
macy. and that with both powers earn
estly striving for peace, there is moth
Ing of vital Importance which stands
in the way OF reaching that conclusion
France Is Tranquil.
PARIS. June 24.-France now awaits
the reply of Germany to her note con-
cerning the proposed Moroccan confer
ence. Until it has been received there
can be no action in the matter There
is little excitement here.
The assurances of the government
that there is no reason TO believe that
diplomacy cannot bring about satis-
factory settlement of the whole affair
is more generally accepted than il has
been. There is an element, however
which still insists that Germany /: not
acting in good faith, and is trying TO
fierce France into some action which
may be seized as a casus beln
1t is believed Germany-s reply will
be received next week, and that the
situation then will be cleared
I,he view of the prass is fairly ex-
pressed by the following from Figaro:
War could not break out except BY
a sudden attack on France. Nothing
warrants the thought that there exists
II: Europe people capable of such un-
Justifiab'@ action while regular and
&C rrteou3 diplomatic relations exist
Sustained by Powers.
Before France sent her answer TO
Germany on the Moroccan question. she
had ascertained that. in case a confer
ence is held, majority of the powers
Will support her contentious in regard
to Morocco. This explains the accept
ance by France lin principle of the de-
mand for conference.
The objections raised by Germany to
the form of the French note have been
offered. it is said in the hope that n
pretext can be arranged during the
time Germany's answer is being con-
sidered, whereby Germany can proceed
TO deal direct with the Sultan of Mo-
rocco.
