ARMY PROBE IMMINENT
General Wood Threatened by Repre-;
sentative Anthony.

Washington, Dec. 14-Gen. Leon
ard Wood. formerly In command OF
the department Of the east, with head
quarters at New York, may become
involved in a congregational inquiry
growing out Of controversy that has
developed between Representative D.
r. Anthony Of Kansas, q member OF
the house committee on military af-
fairs, and Col. Hugh L. Scott, super
intendent of the West Point Military
academy.
The trouble between Representa-
tive Anthony and Colonel Scott goes
back two years, and had its inception
on the Islands of Jolo, in the Philip
pine group. Colonel Scott had mil
itary command there at the time, and
he acted also as civil governor Of the
Island Of Jolo. Among the officers
in his division was Captain L. M.
Koehler of the Fourth cavalry, q
brother-in-law of the Kansas men,
Der.
The immediate provocation for Mr..
Anthony's present attack on Colonel
Scott is that President Roosevelt con-
templated promoting Col. Scott over
odicers superior in rank, to the grade
of brtgadier general. Mr.. Anthony de-
clared In an interview recently that
Colonel Scott had, no military record
or service that justified his promotion
to the higher grade. "And when the
time comes" said Mr.. Anthony, II will

RECOMMENDS THAT THOSE WHO ]
REFUSED TO TALK Be RESTORED
Thinks They Were Cowed and In.
timidated by the More Desperate
Men Who Are Guilty-Leaves the
Matter Of Restoration to Congress.

Washington, Dec. 14.-President
Roosevelt today sent message to
congress- on the Brownsville affair
and with It report of Herbert J.
Browne. employed by the war depart
ment In conjunction with Capt. w. g.
Baldwin to investigate the shooting
up OF Brownsville by the negro SOL
diers. The president says in part:
This report enables us to fix with
tolerable definiteness at least some Of
the criminals who took the lead in
the murderous shooting of private
citizens at Brownsville. It establishes
clearly the fact that colored soldiers
did the shooting, but upon this point
further record was unnecessary, as
the fact that colored soldiers did the
shooting has already been established
beyond all possibility of doubt. The
investigation has not gone far enough,
to enable us to determine all the facts
and we will proceed with It, but It,
has gone far enough to determine with
sufhctent accuracy certain facts of
enough importance to make 1t advisa-
BILE that place the report before you.
It appears that almost all members
OF company b must have been ac-'
lively concerned in ,the shooting, eth
er to the extent of being participants
or to extent Of virtually encouraging
those who were participants. AS to
companies e: and 'D' there can be no
question that personally every man
in them must have had knowledge
that shooting was done by some Of the
soldiers Of company 'B', and possibly
by one or two others in one Of the
other troopS."
The president says that while this
concealmept was a grave offense. they
were probably cowed by the threats
by the more desperate men. There
were, extennatinE eircumstances and
that they have been, .anm mciently pun
ished and he recommends that these
men be reinstated by the war depart
ment Within year or so as congress
may direct.

Williamstad, Island Of Curacao,
Dec. 1.-THE following delayed story
Of the capture Saturday last Of the
Venezuelan coast guard ship Alix by
the Dutch, cruiser Gelderland, was
obtained today from an officer of the
cruiser:
At 6 o'clock Saturday morning the
Gelderland was. steaming slowly q
short distance of the fort at Puerto
Cabello. She noticed the Alix coming
in and after taking q position that
prevented the passage of the SMALL
er boat, she ordered her to stop and
sent of boat to search the Vene-
zuelan vessel. It was discovered that
the captain of the Alix had hidden
his Venezuelan pennant in his pock-
ct and he pretended that his vessel
was q merchant steamer. A passen-
ger on board the Alix, however, de-
clared to the Dutch officers that the
Alix was coast guard vessel. A
search was made. The flag was
found In the captains pocket and six
rifles and q small quantity of ammu-
milton also were discovered. The
rifles were in bad condition. The
crew Of the Alix were given their
choice Of coming to Curacao or 60
Ing ashore at Puerto Cabello. They
preferred the latter course, embark
ed in one Of their own boats and
pulled into the harbor. The vene-
zuelan gunboat Restaurador wa sat
Puerto Cabelle and the officers Of the
Gelderland could see her getting up
steam. Smoke was pouring from her
tunnels. The Gelderland stayed out
side Puerto Cabello for several hours
waiting to see If the Restaudor would
come out. but she did not venture
forth.

Washington, Dec. 14--whfle no ad-
vices, official or unofficial, have
reached the state department confirm
ing the Associated Press dispatches
from Willemstad, regarding the seiz-
ure of Venezuelan coast guard ship
by the Dutch cruiser Gelderland, the
news was received with interest,
though with little surprise in diplo-
matte circles, here. Although Hol-
land has had three or four war ves-
sells at Curacao or thereabouts for
some. time past, no hostile act had
previously occurred and there has been
much speculation az to Hollands
purpose. Great interest attaches to
the Netherlands governments next
move since 1t apparently intends to
force matters to an issue.
For some time there was talk of a
blockade but such proposition
might cause Holland to come in con-
flict with Germany, England and 9th
er powers having claims against Ven
ezuela, the payments of which are
pending.
The state departments attitude has
been to let the Venezuelan disturb
ance work itself out gradually, OBJ
serving strict neutrality there unless
the commerce or other interests of
this country are interferred with.

NEW FOR JAPAN.
Anarchists treat Toxic 10 Euro
pean Sensation.

The japanese, who are learning
more about the joys of civilization lev,
cry day, have Just acquired something
brand new from Europe in the way
of Japanned anarchists The first
demonstration of anarchists ever held
in the streets of Toxic was promptly
made the occasion for a general fight
one day last month.
1t seems that Yamaguchi CLIO, the
original japanese convert to the
creed, had just been released from
prison after serving a term for sedi-
ton. that being the Interpretation
given anarchism by japanese law.
Seventy-odd of Mr.. Gizo's disciples
in Toxic planned to give him sym
pathy demonstration
They hired hall and planned a
parade. The parade started, headed
by blood red banners inscribed IN
japanese ideographs with "Revolu-
tion." Death to Rulers" and kindred
sentiments. A Japanese band, which
is in itself an inspiration to anarchy,
headed the procession.
Hardly had it proceeded block
when the busy little Japanese poles
men swarmed from the police boes on
every hand and started in to break
up the parade. A fight ensued. The
anarchists, being unproyided with
bombs, used the ready Japanese
weapon for close quarters the wood
en- clog, and the policemen drew their
swords. considerable blood was shell
before the policemen succeeded in
gathering in fifteen of the anarchists
four of whom We're very active young
women.
The Japanese who viewed the fight
as spectators seemed to sympathize
with the anarchists, even though they
did not know what anarchy meant.

popular than in any other land, and
