New York, May 27.-J. e. Phelps
Stokes, the New York millionaire So
cialist, is not at all satisfied with the
kind Of socialism which won recently In
the Milwaukee municipal elections.
Speaking of the annual dinner of the
collectivist society. last night, Phelps
Stokes said:
1T is a great grief to me to be oblg-
ed to cast any reflections on the
achievements of my Milwaukee COM
rades, but honor compells me to con
fess that / don't think that there was
any such thing as a Milwaukee victory.
The Milwaukee socialists compromised
with the capitalists. l have read quo
tations from their election speeches
which declared that the small business
men need not fear because the social
democratic party did not object to rea-
sonable profits. Is this socialism? do
men who utter such a sentiment have
clear visions? i say they have not.
They are mere reformers, not socialists

on the bluffs and custom house, the
gate to the port Of Bluefields. Two
hundred men were killed and wounded
in the fighting. the greater part of the
casualties being among the Madzir
forces. Credit for the victory is given
to the American gunners, who kept
their machine guns operating from the
bluff upon the Madriz forces and did
great execution.
Hope in Bluefields has been revived

be able to hold off the Madriz army
