Major General Wood Declares
We Are Wholly Unprepared
for Conflict.
AMMUNITION INSUFFICIENT
FOR ONE ENGAGEMENT
Chief of Army Staff Insists This
Country Could Not Meet Hostile
Moves of Any First Glass Nation
Coast Well Protected but Artillery

ficient-Favors Hobson Bill.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 27.-Before
the house committee on military af-
fairs Major General Wood, chief of
staff declared the United States is
unprepared to meet the hostile moves
of first class nations. His testimony
was made public today.
Ammunition at the army's disposal.
he testified, is not sufficient to last
through a single engagement.
He explained his plan of reorgani-
zing the militia so more mobile force
will be ready for the field in an en-.
ergency. D
He said to the committee: "There
is no use talking about our patriotism
and fighting qualities, we have them.
But braye men unorganized are in
effective. In the Spanish was we lost
about 200 volunteers in battle, but
buried our thousand who died of dis
ease"
He said the field artillery is prac-
ally useless although he believed the
seacoast is well fortified.
Wood continued: eff we were call
ed to war tomorrow, we would be
practically without field artillery or
ammunition. AS far as the seasoast
goes, feel we are we'll fortified.
don't believe foreign fleets would at.
tempt to sail into any port in the
face of our seacoast Notifications un.
less the object was one of rremen-
dous Importance"
Wood urged the adoption of bill
prepared by Congressman Hobson pro-
viding for Council of defense"
He said: "At present in matter
of studying defenses we are absolute
y in the air. I believe if we had q
council to consider such matters with
certain powers to act we could strip
off unnecessary things and come down
to matter of men, guns, powder and
shot" f@

Denied at Washington.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 2S.-War
cial advices concerning the discovery
of an alleged plot of the Japanese to
mine Manila harbor had been receiv-
ed. The army officers, however, are
of the opinion that the Japanese have
been working secretly in the islands
since the war with Russia.
The particulars as far as they can
be learned indicate that the Japanese
plotted placing the mines near the
naval anchorage. These were to be
connected with shore batteries. Mill
tary men privately admit the prop
osition is serious.

BLACK HAND BAND
GIVEN HARD BLOW

New York, N. Y, Dec. 27.-Ignoring
their threats of violence and open
threats of death from other quarters
County Judge Fawcett today sentenc-
ed Stanislo Pattenza, the reputed
leader of the Black Hand society and
Mary Raph to indeterminate sentences
of from twenty-five to forty-nine
years in prison.
They were convicted of kidnapping
and holding for ransom twenty days,
Michael Rizzie and Luiseppi Longo,
both aged eight. The children were
released when the money was paid.
The sentence brought CONSERVATION
to the ranks of the extortionists and
many are said to be fleeing the city.
The judge said to them: ''It is al
most unbelievable that you held two
broken-hearted children for twenty
days, knowing their parents were also
suffering"
When sentencing the woman he
said: you have no spirit or instinct
for mother love. 1t is stronger in
beasts than in you.''
To Patience he said: "You are the
brains and the acknowledged king of
the Black Hand society. Your COM
panion would have confessed if the
agent of your organization had not
called at the Jail and told her that If
she revealed the secrets she would
be killed. Criminals of your type
should never be permitted to land in
this country. 1 regret the law does
not permit the death penalty for such
crimes"

discovery of conspiracy among Jap
anese to place mines in Manila har-
Dor and blow up the American war
ships in case of war between the two
countries is persistently rumored in
military circles today.
Although General Duvall has said
that the search of Japanese homes for
explosives was unsuccessful, it il re-
ported that explosives were found
and also maps showing that japanese
spies had thorough working know
ledge of the harbor and Notifications
and had planned carefully where and
how to place submarine bombs in the
harbor. This is causing much excite
ment in military circles as it is report
ed that Duvall has threatened to
court-martial any officer who tells the
alleged facts.
The story leaked from civil author
tiles who aided in the search.
According to current report today
papers have been discovered that
identify the Japanese secret agents in
the Philippines. 1t is reported that
acting on this information a number
of arrests have already been made
secretly. Reports say the Japanese
have been smuggling explosives into
the city for months.
1t is understood careful search of
the principal Japanese colonies is be-
ing planned by army officers. 1t is
believed the military authorities are
attempting to cover up Japanese ac-
tivity in the island and at the same
time are wedding out spies.

EXPERTS SECURE $2,1OO
FROM SAFE AT HEILIG

Safe crackers blew up the heavy
steel safe of the Heilig theatre, at
Seventh and Taylor streets, some time
Sunday night after the close of the
Christmas evening performance of the
"Burgomaster" musical comedy COM
pany, and secured $2100 in cash, says
the Portland Journal.
Captain Moore, of the city detec-
tive force says the job was done by
experts. Although Manager William
Pangle, of the Heilig, and Mrs. PAN
gle occupied sleeping room on the
top floor Of the theatre directly above
the safe, which was located in the
bsseno ert, they did not hear a sound.
Evidence of the craftsmanship of
the nocturnal visitors is the large win
dow that let's in light from an alcove
off the sidewalk. This window is al
most directly in front of the safe and
only two or three freet from it, yet
the glass was not cracked.
The heavy steel door of the safe was
bent almost double and the friedrich
and iron lining was crumbled into bits
yet not piece of furniture was dam-
aged and the electric light globe only

The Heilig carried burglar insur-
ance ON the safe amounting to $500
so the theatre management will lose

ager Pangle today, "knew that we
would have our share of the receipts

have a large sum on account of the

ters easier for the thieves the money
was all neatly tied up, the gold and
