SIR PURDoN MISQUOTED.
IF Not, He Is mistaken, Says @. III.
Story-AU Committee IN Board.

officials of the metropolitan Museum of Art are
of the opinion that Sir Caspar Purdon Clarke. the
director-elect. must have been misquoted in the
interview sent by cable from London
Therein Sir Purdon is indirectly cited as saying
somewhat ambiguousy that 'fhe mad found the
excellent staff at present In charge Of the Museum
hampered by an honorary committee composed
Of Americans"
'I cannot help thinking that Sir Purdon must
have either misunderstood or have been mis-
quoted George H. Story, the acting director OF
the Museum told a Tribune reporter. There is
honorary committee outside the Board OF
Trustees"
OF the trustees none who were willing to discuss
the statement attributed to Sir Purdon could be
found in town yesterday. ]. Pierpont Morgan is In
Europe. and Charles Stewart Smith and Robert w.
De Forest both down South. Others, however,
who connected in way another with
the Museum said they appreciated the accuracy,
but not the justice of Sir Purdon's remarks. 1t
pointed out that there exist sub-commit-
tees OF the executive committee a purchasing COM
mittee. a committee sculpture committee on
painting, a committee objects of art and a COM
mttee on casts, all Of which were drawn from the
board OF trustees, and might be described as
honorary committees" partially composed Of lag
men.

committee interested might inspect the object and
make recommendation the decision of the pur-
chasing committee, also made up partially of lay
men, practically final, it alleged. the
ecutive committee confirming 1t in virtually every
instance, and the staff of the Museum being little
more than consulted
Said John De Witt Warner ex-chairman Of the
Municipal Art Commission and of counsel for the
Municipal Art Society: "On the assumption that
Sir Purdon has been correctly quoted and that he
could scarcely help knowing that certain of the
conditions were appropriate TO the former regime

GIN THE VAR GO ON?
ENGLISH Vieucs-BaItic Fleet Re-
Dorted Still at Madagascar.

London, March 13-The London newspapers
this morning are occupied with the question
whether Russia can continue the campaign.
Even in the light Of later dispatches, showing
that General Kuropatkin has extricated por-
ton of two Of his armies, 1t is contended that
his great army no longer exists as a concrete
fighting force, and it is believed the Japanese,
after a few days which are required to rest and
reorganize will compel him to fight another bat
tie in his present exhausted and denuded condi-
ton at Tie Pass In short, the general opinion
is that in the face of financial and other diff

The latest dispatches seem to indicate that the
Russian Baltic feet is still waiting at NADIA

"The Daily Telegraphs" Toxic correspondent
says that the Japanese spoils at Moukden in

that the Russians carried away by force the
Chinese Governor General of Moukden, who was
suspected Of pro-Japanese tendencies.

hal says that Paul Lessar. the Russian Min
lister to China, has sent protest to the Chinese
Foreign Office. alleging that General Mas
troops operated with Chinese bandits against
the Russians at Hsin-Min-Tun.
Special dispatches to the London newspapers
from ST. Petersburg. Keff and elsewhere, all
report a serious internal situation. and espe-
cially the extension Of the peasant movement,
even to the Baltic provinces. 1t is declared in
these dispatches that the peasants are trying
forcibly to possess themselves of land, and that
they are burning and otherwise destroying prop
