(By Leased Wire to New Mexlcan.)
Washington, May 3.-Rear Admiral
Bradley A. Fiske's letter to the sen
ate, taking issue with Secretary Dam
iels for the latter's statement that he
never had been furnished a copy Of
Admiral Fishes letter warning the
department of the unp~reparedness of
the navy in 1914, was made public to-.
day by Chairman TiIlman, of the
naval committee. In submitting the
letter, Senator Tillman declared Sec
rotary Daniels courted investigation
IL one was demanded.
Neither he. nor his friends here
like this kind Of sniping or guerrilla
warfare" said Senator Tillman.
Therefore, | content myself with
asking that Fiske's letter to the vice
president be published in the record
So that all may Judge how little there
really Is to his utterances, except
malice and wounded vanity. Disap-
pointed ambition too, has had much
to do with his conduct. He has brood
ed over what he supposes to be his
wrongs until he seems to be obsessed,
and ! really feel sorry for him.
Senator Lodge. defending Admiral
Fiske said he thought an injustice
had been done the naval officer.
THE secretary Of Sthe navy has
seen fit on several occasions" ne
said, ito attack Admiral Fiske. Adj
miral Fiske is an officer of the high
est rank. He has had an unblemished
character in the navy. He has en-
gagged in no guerilla warfare but has
only the desire and the right of a
very honest man to protect his own
reputation" In his letter, Admiral
Fiske referred to Secretary Daniels
statement to the senate and wrote:
''This statement constitutes an ac-
cusat against me Of a grave breach of
official propriety-in fact Of actual
underhandedness, of an attempt to
conceal an important letter from the
secretary, while as a matter of fact,
i was always scrupulously careful
never to permit him to receive or to
remain under any mistaken impress
sion OF to be in ignorance Of any i'm
portant matter, if | could prevent It"

bandits on three sides, charging de-
liberately over marked ground with
bullet puffs in the dust all about their
feet, where the Mexicans had their
exact range. They accounted for at
least so bandits killed or wounded,
against an American loss of two dead
and three wounded. One Mexican
woman was wounded by the bandits.
Two nights before this fight, the
Americans overlook the bandits at
the Yoquivo mine. where they were
lying about camp fires, telling the
natives stories of how they claimed
to have whipped Los Americanos'' at
Columbus and at Guerrero. They

AGnEEO OEON
Washington, May 3.-State and war
department officials today awaited a
reply from General Scott on his con-
ference yesterday with General Obre-
gon, wal minister for the Mexican de
facto government.
1t was generally believed that the
agreement between Generals Scott
and Obregon provided for a gradual
retirement OF the American forces in
Mexico and that the troops now in adj
vance of the Mexican base at Mani
quipa would withdraw from San An
tonic to Guerrero. and then to Mani
quipa.
This slow process of withdrawal, 1t
was claimed, would continue until the
expedition reached a restricted zone
along the border. The agreement was
further said to provide that the Amer
lean troops would not enter a Mexl
can town or come into contact in any
way with the Mexican people in order
that friction between the soldiers and
civilians might be prevented.
On the other hand, General Obre-
con, it was reported, agreed to pursue
the Villistas with all the soldiers that
could be made available for the pur.
rose, in order that the district of
chihuahua and Durango could be
cleared of the bandits.

district and remain there until such
time as the administration at WASH

with boy whom he had hired to aid
in the farm work When he endeavor-
ed to sell load OF wheat from the
farm an investigation was started that
led to revelations OF the murder.
