Gen. Leonard Wood at Manila relative to
the Mount Dajo tight. The first is dated
yesterday and reads as follows:
If more detailed information concern
ing the facts connected with the Mount

ing"
The Maj. Scott referred to has been on
leave OF absence i'm this country and has
just arrived in Washington I'm answer to
the secretarys summons. He was referr-
ed To i'm some OF the Manila cablegrams as
really having caused the present trouble
at Mount Dajo 10y reason OF the exercise
of too great leniency toward the brigand
Moros.
The second despatch from Gen. Wood Is
dated Manila, today, and reads as fol-
lows: Sensational cables sent to the

ELECTIONS ARE
DECLARED To Be
A GLARING FARCE

St Petersburg. March i9-As the elec-
tions proceed there 10 more and more evi-
dence of the virtual exclusion from par
ticipation OF the radical elements Of the
population. The preliminary stages of the
elections will rob the national assembly
OF much OF its national character. Its
authority TO speak Will be absolutely de-
MED by the proletariat organizations
which bore the brunt OF the fight for lib
erty.
Complaints of interference and duress
in the country districts are increasing
Many fagrant instances are cited of the
terrorism OF local officials in preventing
a free expression by the peasants, and
often practically compelling the selection
OF priests and village elders The seeming
apathy OF the small land owners assem-
blies 20 which an average of only ten
per cent of the voters were present is
explainable by the feeling that they were
not free TO choose.
The most serious phase of the situation,
however is the attitude OF the workmen
I'm the cities who constitute politically the
most developed and most radical faction
Of the masses OF the population
In spite OF repression. wholesale ar
rests and frequently the exile OF their
leaders gsince the strike disorders many
workmen arc inclined TO reject the advice
OF The socialists 10 boycott the elections.
The authorities instead OF taking advant-
age of this sentiment and inducing the
workmen as a class TO participate have
with fatuous blindness openly discouraged
their participation where the radical ee-
ments are in the majority thus deliber-
ately playing the game OF the boycotters
and bring the whole working class into
revolt
This was apparent at the workmen's
elections in ST. Petersburg yesterday.
Carefully collected information from the
outlying industrial districts today shows
that the elections were complete farce.
Nominally IL out of the 80 working groups
entitled TO participate elected 20 out of
81 delegates to the convention which I'm
turn Will select Is representa- for the
city TO the convention which I'm turn elects
for 81. Petersburg six members OF ma
tional assembly.
In reality the number of worlSmen par
ticipating was infnitesimal. Where the
elections were ostensibly held only 569 out
OF 2l,1S0 workmeu voted and they almost
invariably chose reactionists. As an eX-
ample, at the Nevsky works "A hundred
voters out of 5000 elected five members OF
the League of the Russian People" and
three men belonging To the Party OF
Law and order two prominent reaction
airy organizations.
There was an overwhelming display OF
troops and police in the districts and
places where the men assembled Some
OF the men held meetings and discussed
the advisability Of participating. but the
great mass simply Withdrew, declaring
that during the present reign OF terror the
designation of their real choice was
equivalent to turning over the men TO the
police. In the big Okhta and Moscow dis
tricts not single man has been elected
the railroad employees unanimously refus-
ing 10 vote until the imprisoned members
