jim wARDNER IN TROUBLE.
With other Americans Is Surrounded
BY Hostile YaquIs.

Spokane, Wash, Feb. 81. F. Ward
ner, noted mining man on the Pa
cific coast, writes to the Spokesman
Review that the hostile Yaqui Indians
have himself and 200 other Americans
corraled at La Colorado, state OF So
nora, and that he has appealed to Sen
ator Dubois of Idaho for protection.
Mr.. Wardner was en- route to his
quick silver mines when hemmed in
by the Yaquis.
He says the Mexican commander
has offered the Americans a guard OF
Mexican troops, but the Americans
have no confidence in the ability OF a
small guard to protect them against
1000 hostile Indians.
Mr. Wardner says it is common be-
lief in that section that President
Roosevelt has sent telegram 10
President Diaz, declaring that II Mex
leo cannot protect Americans in that
country, the United States will.

Colonel Gaedke Talks.

Berlin, Feb. 5.-Colonel Gaedke, for
the first time since his return from
the far east, where he was war CORE
spondent for the Tageblatt, writes his
opinion of General Kuropatkin:
Although a thorough soldier and
honorable man, benevolent, brave, ad-
mirable in the quiet of his workroom,
simple in his tastes and an excellent
administrator, Kuropatkin lacks" says
Colonel Goedke," that glance that pen
etrates the darkness of situation i'm
mediate correlation of means, and, be-
fore ALL the unsympathetic will that
alone triumphs in war, that without
compassion uses the bodies and souls
of his men in taking their last effort
to compass victory.
"Suchv men as Kuropatkin are few
in the Russian army and their quail
ties attach the soldier to his flag, but
they do not win victories. Kuropatkin
at Liao Yang burdened his mind with
placing individual regiments, battal-
ions and batteries and lost thereby the
conception OF the whole"
Colenel Gaedke regards Kuropatkin
as overcautious and concludes. mo
leader is so bad as he who will not
take risk"

Another Version.

According to the second and more
commonly credited version, Kuropat-
kin complained to the emperor that
Grippenberg undertook the fanking
movement in defiance of orders, and
demanded the generals dismissal.
The hope is generally expressed that
the incident will be satisfactorily ad
justed, as it is realized on all sides
that Kuropatkins departure from the
front would prove a severe blow to
hopes of victory in the near future.
Grippenberg's withdrawal has not
changed the situation. The Russians
continue to hold their positions around
Sandepas.

sociated Press that evidently there had
been friction between Grippenberg and
Kuropatkin and added:
Il have heard a great deal of talk
about Kuropatkin asking to be re-
lieved, but nothing definite can be said
on the subject at present"
There are two conflicting versions Of
the incident According to one of them
General Grippenberg complained to
the emperor that General Kuropatkin
had refused to support his f1anking
movement, in view of which GriPpen-
berg asked to be relieved The en-
peror, it is added, then telegraphed to
Kuropatkin asking for an explanation,
in reply ito which Kuropatkin wired
that his health was such as required
permission to turn over his command
to General Linevitct.

ments by reason of the fact that the reve-
nues at the particular time do not warrant
such expenditure. The estimates for parks.
however, are made up under the direction
of the Chief of Engineers, United States
Army, who has no immediate knowledge
OF the revenues of the District and who
can not therefore base his recommends tons
upon the amount OF money that can be rea-
scnably expended for park purposes If the
control of the parks were under the COM
missioners. however, the park system could
be considered together with other public
improvements and the parks given their
relative share of the money available.
Per Diem Employees.
The last District appropriation bill trans
ferred the employees of the District govern
ment who had formerly been paid on a per
diem basis to the annual roll. In prac-
ticaliy all cases the salaries of the en-
ployes were made less than those they re-
cefved on the per diem basis The en-
ployes were given the privilege of annual
leave as compensation for this reduction.
IL affected the engineer department of the
District more largely than any other branch
OF the District service. 1t is still necessary
to employ per diem men in this department
put the services of such men are dispensed
with when not needed, so that as a general
rule they are not employed all the year
round but are taken up and dropped as the
needs of the service require. Their services
are paid for out of the general appropria-
tons upon which they are actually en-
gagged.
Very respectfully.
