REVOLT IN COSTA RIGA
LIKE 4 COMIC OPERA
Properly Press ACCENTED and 0th-
erwise Very Theatrical, Says
an Eyewitness.

ION Jan. q I was in San Jose, the
capital of Costa RIGA, and was lucky
enough to be an eyewitness Of Cen.
trail American revolution" says Der.
trand Shadweu in the New York Trib-
une. 1.-THE president Of Costa Rica
was, as you are aware, depOsed on that
day by a coup d'etat by the minister
Of war. The deposeG president took
refuge in the American legation. The
scene Of action was the plaza in front
Of the artillery barracks, in the heart
Of San Jose.
when I accidentally arrived on the
spot, about 10 o'clock in the morning,
the minister of war, in khaki and spec
tacles, armed with sword and revolver,
was marching vigorously around and
around the plaza and shouting excited
~ to the populace. He was accom-
panied by two buglers. The crowd Of
spectators became denser every minute.
"Then, without any warning. there
was a quick rattle Of rifle shots from
the artillery barracks, from the police
barracks, from the roof Of the new
postoftice and from every housetop in
the neighborhood, and the enormous
crowd of citizens suddenly and vio-
lently ran for their lives.
1.-THE object Of this fusilade was not
apparent, but six innocent persons
were wounded. The firing lasted about
five minutes. 1t appears that all this
had been arranged In advance and that
printed notices had been sent around
to those who were favorable to the
revolution, naming the day and the
hour Nevertheless, the secret was
kept, and the government was taken by
surprise.
when left San Jose the town was
in possession Of the revolutionists, con-
sisting Of armed citizens and soldiers.
The rebellious minister Of war, Cen
eral Don Federico A. TinocO Granados,
was running the government, and the
deposed president, Don Alfredo Con-
zales Flores, was still hiding in the
American legation. The whole revolu-
ton from beginning to end was like
theatrical performance. 1t was as in
teresting as novel and as funny as
good comic opera

rowdale Put to Use.
For several days now several huge
new freight automobiles have been
scorching through Berlin's snow piled
streets, where their foreign appearance
attracts much attention. They are
American cars that were ordered by
the Russian army authorities. There
we're ia of them on the British ship
Yarrowdale, which was captured and
brought to Germany. Most Of the cars
were taken to Berlin, where they ar
rived Just in time to relieve the an.
noying difficulties Of transport caused
by the intense cold and heavy snow
fall.
These American cars are Of the ''bull-
dog" shape and in color are very much
like the German field uniform. They
were found to be provided with many
duplicate pieces of machinery. Their
cost is estimated at $4,000 each. In
Berlin they are employed in carrying
much needed coal and supplying deal
ers with -four. potatoes. beets and 9TH

brief interval, in which the relatives OF
the men killed and injured are notihed,
if no sound military reason is advanced
against this step. Secretary Baker
promised to-day. The Secretary. direct
ed that the question should be put
squarely up to tho military experts IN
the Department as to whether the an
nouncement of such information couiu
be of any benefit to the enemy.
II can be stated emphatlcaily' now
ever, that the department, in all prop,
ability, will never consent to reveal
the strength of the American FORCES
abroad until the treaty Of peace mas
been signed. There is going TO be no
publication of list of American units
in France>at any time.
81 am not willing to override the
Creel bureau" said Mr. Baker, when ne
was asked about this to-day, nor our
military experts, but if there is no
military objection l am willing for the
names of the organizations which tguie
in the news to be given cut, aiter d
proper interval following the flghtlng
has elapsed, in which the relatives OF
those injured can be notified.
'If time for that is not allowed and
it were published that the 69th New
York had taken part in a fight, every
relative of a man in the 69th would
fear that the next cable would bring
word that her son or her husband or
her brother was among the deed"
1t was pointed out to the Secretary
that Great Britain carly in the war
carefully suppressed by censorship the
names of all fighting organizations.

War Department to Fight
Writ of Habeas Corpus
Granted Brooklyn Man

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-War De-
partment officials made it clear tonight
that they purposed to fight for con-
frmation of their Interpretation Of the
articles Of war, under which civilian
officers Of army transports have been
tiied and convicted under military law
for refusal TO obey orders.
II had been expected that the case
of the civilian captain of transport,
who refused 20 take his vessel TO sea,
would come up first in the Norfolk, Va,
district, but the issuing Of writ Of
kabeas corpus to-day by the Federal
District Court in New York for Charles
Gerlsch, civilian officer Of another
transport, now held at the army dis
culinary barracks, makes II probable
that this will be necessary TO clarity
the authority Of the army over Its
civilian auXiliaries.
Article 2 Of the articles Of war, as
amended recently by Congress, desig-
rates the persons subject to military
law. Section d Of that article is as
follows:
"All Tetaincrs 20 the camp and all
persons accompanying or serving with
the armies Of the United States with
out the territorial jurisdiction Of the
United States and in time Of war all
such retainers and persons accompany
ing or serving with the armies Of the
United States in the field, both within
and without the territorial jurisdiction
OF the United States, though not other
wise subject 10 these articles"
The contention Of the military off
Gals Is that the civilian officers and
crews Of army transports fall squarely
within the meaning Of this clause.
They are, therefore, held subjec; 20
such discipline as the articles provide
for such offences as they commit
against military law, and the two cases
mentioned have been carried 10 trial
before military courts on that theory.
it Is expected the point will be raised
