Chicago, April I3.-Walter Weliman
lin Washington special to The Re-
cord-Herald says: .> &..r 81
Field Marshal Oyama plans to cap
ture Vladivostock before the Russian
fleet, or any part of it can reach that
port. This information has been re-
ceived here through trustworthy chan
lnels. .'-. =, .,,e. .-.. IS Z
One of the greatest strategy games
the world ever saw is now being played
in Asia and Asiatic waters, and mill
ltary students as we'll as dipiomatists
are watching it with the kcenest inter-
est. "'''' 80
For the Japanese the capture 5of
Vladivostock will be a trump card.
They have not captured the place, yet
and may fail to do so. But if they
succeed they will have checkmated
possible Russian move--the assem-
blage Of part of their fleets at this
strong base and subsequent harassment
OF Japanese shipping and raids on
transports. - =
In laying out their strategy the Jap
anese have tried to foresee all possible
contingencies. Among these is the
chance that Rojestvensky may be able
with part of his feet to escape 1ogo's
ships and make his way to Vladivo-
stock.
Even il there should be pitched bat
tie between the "Squadrons and the
Japanese were decidedly the victors in
the engagement, a considerable num-
Der OF Russian ships might make their
way to the naval base, and, by strength.
ening the defense there, make it a much
harder nut to crack afterwards. ,E
If the land forces of Japan can cap
ture Vladivostock during the coming
three or four weeks or before the sur
vlvors OF Rojestvensky's feet can get
there, great point will be scored.
The Russians, no matter in what condi-
ton they may find themselves after the
forthcoming series OF engagements
with Togo, will then have no haven of
retreat, no place to retire for repairs
and reftting. "f%st$&i,f
The. Japanese gelieve that they can
take Vladivostock during the coming
month. Almost any time now. may
come news of the arrival of General
kawamura's army before the city. . It
is well known that Oyama is making a
flank movement in force toward Kirin
and to the eastward OF that point. This
force is supporting Kawamura, who
should now be near the city. a&&E
According to reports received here
the Russians have not large garrison
in Vladivostock. Most OF the troops
formerly stationed there have been
sent to reinforce the, main army ih
Manchuria. Nor is the port strongly
defended by fortresses or guns on the
land side. ~,as... ... j -...'..
The Russians never anticipated a
land attack from the rear. In building
Vladiyostock they planned well-nigh
|impregnable naval fortress. Such it Isl.
But its land defenses are weak. The
Japanese. believe that within two or
three weeks after starting their siege
they may carry the place by assault.
1t may cost a lot of men, but the game
is deemed worth the candle. @

.CASTRO'S REPLY WAS IS
ECIDEDLY HOT STUFF

Washington, April I3.-While the
|officials here decline to make public at
this stage the text Of President Cas-
|tro's reply to Minister Bowen's arbi-
|tration proposal, it may be stated that
there was nothing personal to the
American minister IN President Cas-
tro's statement. so that if it should be
Eventually held to be undiplomatic and
even rude, then the injury will be sus-
tanned BY the state department rather
than by the minister, and therefore it
lis the former alone that will be COM

AN inquiry from the Venezuelan gov
|ernflient as to whether the United
States presumed to question the sinteg-

qniry being cosicled in rather vigorous
Language.
It also appears that there is an ex-
pressed disposition on the part Of the
Venezuelan government to localize the
|issiie by concentrating attention upon
the Ofcott case, which was the sub
ject Of an arbitration in 1903, thus
|evading the attempt on the part OF
the state department to rest IFS case
principally on the asphalt controversy.
Asa matter Of fact the state depart
|ment has never been particularly
strenuous in its efforts to force set

.or any other minor pending clans, be-
ing willing to allow all these to be adj

usual agency of an international mix
led commission, but it has pressed the

Venezuelan government in that matter
may establish precedent that will In
validate every foreign concession

. PENSION FRAUDS.

Washington, April r3. Commission
Ter OF Pensions Warner has discovered
that in addition to granting pensions
under the s.old age order to members
OF Pennsylvania regiment, the PEN
sion bureau has allowed about 100
claims on applications made prior to
April I5, Igo4, the date on which the
order went into effect. The amounts
are trivial in all cases, because the
commissioner will require that they be
refunded. He says that in this mat
ter the grant was due to an error iii
the construction of the law.
The commissioned has not yet re-
ceived explanations from all the ex-
aniiners. involved in the Pennsylvania
regiment and therefore Is not prepared
fo announce his decision. Those
heard from admit the error but plead
mitigating circumstances.

JONES TALKS ABOUT
WINTER WHEAT CROP

Minneapolis, April III. v. Jones,
the Minneapolis crop expert who has
returned from the southwest, issued a
bulletin. covering the outlook for the
winter wheat crop. in which the re-
cent estimates. based ON the government
report, are pronounced too high Mr..
Jones says 1t is too early to put crop
conditions into figures, and after trav-
cling over Kansas and Teaas this
month lie finds the condition in Z Texas
considerably higher than in Kansas,
Kansas has good prospect today, but
Texas has a better prospect The con-
,dition in Indiana is scarcely as high as
sthe government puts it, although favor
able weather will bring ont a good crop
iii that state. The government percent
age for April is computed BY Chicago
to cali for a winter wheat yield Of soo,-
100000 bushels; by New York the re-
suit IS computed at about 47o,ooo,ooo.
The country never raised 5ooooo,-
900 bushels of winter wheat, Z said Mr..
Jones, and there is nothing in sight
that suggests the probability Of its be-
ing raised this year; hence the condition
should not Be placed On that basis. 1t
IS sufficiently optimistic to suggest an
increase in winter wheat this year over
last of 85,oooooo bushels. Which would
give yield around 4ooooo,ooo, Or Ioo,-

are said to cali for. Ii will require most
