RUSSIANS LET PLAGUE
FIGHT THEIR BATTLES

Mitylene, April 26,-An account of
the condition of things on the Turko
Russian border which comes from
Trebizond states that at Erzerum
there have been a thousand deaths
daily from typhus and smallpox. The
mortality is heavy among the doc
tors and the stocks of medicines and
disinfectants have become exhaust
ed, while a circle of stagnant waters
around the town and unburied corps
es everywhere are a fruitful source
OF disease.
In the villages massacre, devasta-
ton and famine have been the portion
of the residents, and Trebizond is
half in ruins and abandoned by all
who would leave by sea The unde
strcyed portion is one vast ambu'
lance.
The Russians are said to be reluct'
ant to advance on Erzerum owing to
the fear of contagion.

to be done on so extensive scale.

On the whole the naval side Of the
war, so far as 1t has been made pub.

ing in the ruse de guerre, for there
has been, with single exception
only the stale old devices of false
colors and dummy tunnels. The Rus
sian Admiral Won Essen is said to
have disguised his squadron, on Aug
ust, 27, to resemble German ships,
cover of fog. He Is stated to have
sunk the Magdeburg and damaged
another cruiser and a number of de
stroyers. few days later the press
bureau issued the statement that
Seven German destroyers and tor
pedo boats have arrived at Kiel in a
damaged condition, and it is under
stood that others have sunk in the
vicinity of the canal"
We need devote very little atten.
ton to the perfectly legitimate ruse
of flying neutral flag except to ex.
press establishment that 1t should
have succeeded In the case OF the
Emden at Penang and Of the German
cruiser which cut the cable at Fan
ming island. The device was used
on several occasions by Dundona!d
who recognized its crudity by supple
plementing 1t with neutral pilots in
his crew, and on one occasion, es
capped by adding in the plague flag.
1t was the question on which the
famous dispute between Admira
Dewey and the German Admiral Vol
Diederlch turned at Manila in 1898
The latter maintained that the neu
trality and identity of a vessel were
shown by her colors and appearance
: Dewey answered that her color
alone do not establish that identit!
for it is a common ruse of war t,
hoist false colors."

COENTIES REEF TO
OPEN PORK BARREL
Will Be Used as Wedge
for New River and Har-
Dor Projects.

Washington, Jan. l4.-As a club to
silence the opposition Of the New York
delegation in Congress TO the pending
river and harbor bill Democratic Nom
bers Of the subcommittee of the SEN
ate Commerce Committee decided to-
day to add as an appcndage to the
measure the O'Gorman resolution au-
thorizing the use Of unexpended bal
ances for the removal Of Coenties Reel
Senator O'Gorman appeared before
the subcommittee and urged that the
resolution applying to the Coenties
Reef project be considered as "A scpa-
rate measure. Senators Burton and
Oliver supported him. The four Demo
cratic Senators on the subcommittee,
however. decided to make the PROPOSE
tion part and parcel Of the river and
harbor bill. although it has already re
ceved the approval Of both houses Of
Congress.
The Democratic Senators said frank
~ that the attitude Of the New YORK
newspapers had been hostile 10 the
pork barrel" measures, and that New
York could now have a dose of its own
medicine. 10 is expected, of course,
that the members of the New York
be deferred from critcising the river
and harbor bill by adding the Coenties
Reef measure to it, but that they Will
in their desire for the removal OF
Coenties Reef, which stands in the way
of the new subway project, also re
strain any impulses they might have
TO oppose other new projects that may
be proposed by the pork barrel advo-
Gates.
The resolution offered by Senator
O'Gorman, which makes available sew
eral hundred thousand dollars for be
ginning work on Coenties Reef, was
adopted by the Senate and BY the House
with certain amendments. II It is
added to the river and harbor bill il
must be considered anew. When the
question was first under discussion
Mayor Mitchell and other New York Of
hcials came down to Washington 70
urge the adoption of the O'Gorman
resolution as matter of pressing
necessity 10 the City of New York
The rule that no projects will be
initiated in the pending river and har-
Dor bill will operate against the
Coenties Reef project. and the approval
of the latter will enable any other
Senator to demand the passage OF an
amendment Incorporating in the river
and haTbor bill new project in which
he might be particularly interested.
Consequently the Coenties Reef amend
ment will open the door TO those who
are hungry for pork"
The fight over the Coenties Reef
project will be carried to the full Com
mittec on Commerce and from there TO
the floor Of the Senate, if necessary.
Attack viii also be directed against
various times Of the pending river and
harbor bill in the Senate, although it
is recognized by those who conducted
the flibuster against the pork barrel"
