BY invitation Colonel Morrow. repre-
scnting the American commandant, Col

the American staff. He said 40 Cos
sacks arrived in the American camp on
the night Of January 2S. He did not
know why they had revolted They
were disarmed because they consti-
tuted menace to the peace.
The Cossacks, Colonel Morrow said

Colonel Morrow explained to the
conference that the men had been
given the right OF Differentiation

any effort to subject them to the will
of the conference. One delegate asked
what would happen should the men
eject to designate themselves as Boil

discuss this contingency.
A communication from General Oh
the local Japanese commander, said
that, in view of the refusal Of Major
General William S. Graves, L. S. A., tc
recognize the Cossack detachment as
part Of the Russian army, discussion
of the controversy had been dropped
by the Japanese staff and that the sit

The blame for the confusion and
flbustering attendant upon the end of
the recent session Of CONGRESS- was
placed upon the shoulders Of President
Wilson last night by Senator William
NJ. Calder, who spoke at a meeting of
tho Kings County Republican Com
mittce.
Senator Calder charged the President
exceeded his authority when he APP
pointed himself chief delegate from
America to the peace conference, and
added that the Democratic majority
without his guidance proved itself un-
able to fill its legislative function prop
erly.
"The newspapers were filed on
March 3, and % he SAID, with the
story of Republican filbustcr. The
President had been absent from the
country; his party had been leader
less; the nation had been without a
head; the Democratic majority without
capacity for service"
The Senator attacked the cxtrava-
gance of the administration in it's CON
struction Of a merchant marine. dur
ing the course of which he said it
wasted $4,000 100000, and said that
similar dilatory methods by the Demo
cratic majority had left until tho end

expenditure Of more than $5,000,0oO

 AS FEQERALS LAUNCH
 SURPRISE OFFENSIVE.

DOUGLAS, Dec. 15.--In a detailed report to General Juan Torres, military commander of the state of Sonora, Colonel E. C. Garcia, who commanded the column which captured Bacatete and Bacatetito, the two strongholds or the Yaqui Indian tribe of Sonora, De cember ', describes the last stand Of the tribesmen in defense of their fami- lies which they had latterly to desert to the Mexican forces. The total Yaqui loss was 5S killed. The federal column penetrated Las Burras canyon where there dwelt a large number of Yaqui families. complete surprise was ef- fected and many prisoners taken. Nine Yaquis were killed, among them being the famous Chief Matus.. One pris oner was executed immediately
 The column then proceeded to Baca- tetito where the federals unanswered to surround the Yaquis on all sides and occupied the heights. After two hours of hot fighting the Indians fled, aban- doning their families to the Mexican troops A search of the camp revealed the bodies of 21 additional Indians, while six more. taken with arms in their hands. were executed. The bodies of 16 women and five children, killed by stray bullets during the fighting, were found. The federal loss was one lieutenant killed and sergeant and nine enlisted men wounded. Most of these met injury at the hands of In- dians who preferred to fight to the end and died defending their homes. A large quantity of arms and ammunition was recovered.
 Among the numerous women and children taken prisoner and afterward interned in the state penitentiary at Hermosillo awaiting disposition, was found the five-year- son of Pro- lessor Barajas of Guaymas, kidnapped from his parents more than year ago. When the child was restored to it's mother it was necessary for an inter- preter to conduct the conversation for them. so' completely had the boy for gotten the Spanish tongue during his stay among the Indians.
