WABHINQTON. Nov. 27. Brlpidler Gen
eral Tasker Bliss in his 'annual report of
th army war collrg-e, says detailed study
of the military problems concerning the
United States should be the most im
portant work of the college under the di
rection of chief of staff. General ' Bliss
recommends the elimination from the col
lege of the collection of military lnspec
tlejn. He would eliminate any special study
of material of war, which, while Important
enough, he does not consider within the
proper scope of the college.
Qoneral Blitta recommends that a number
of officers be selected at stated Intervals
for the study and working- out of a great
war game. The officers chosen, he ssys.
should be selected from those who would
play an Important part In the plans adopted
tn case of wur. He thinks that no differ-

"Offioers, whether from West Point or
elsewhere should not bs excluded from the
work."
A good many of the things outlined in
the post school course, the West Pointer
Is not likely to know so well as the man
promoted from the ranks. There Is, at
least in . years past, there has been, an
unfortunate tendency on the part of offi
cers, whether from West Point or elae
where, gradually to lose the habit of
study of matters connected with the simple
routine of their work and. while not only
falling to acquire knowledge to keep them
abreast of their profession, actually lose
much of what they' have already learned.
In short, that It was a procesa of steady
decadence. General . Bliss adds that the
great secret of German succeaaea In mili
tary training Is that "there Is never any
letup."
Klea of tke Maine Defective.
The battleship Maine has suffered an
other Injury. The Inability of the ship
to make more than twelve knots on Its
recent cruise to Colon was due to an ac
cident to Its engines which occurred be
fore Its departure. Four of the large en
gine "ys," or supports, are broken and it
will be neceaaary to repair them before
It will be safe for the Maine to increase
Its speed beyond twelve knots, although
the vessel's maximum speed is eighteen
knots. The Navy department officials as
sert that the vessel la In no danger If It
doea not exceed twelve knots, but It Is
admitted that only an emergency would
have caused Its dispatch on such a cruise
In lta present condition.

SAYS WOOD PLANNED STORY
Major Buno'e Accuses General of Reflecting
oa Eecord of General Brooke.
MAGAZINE ARTICLE SUITED ITS. HERO
When Trouble tnme Waa Ready,
However, to Have Aatbor Coart
Martlaled on Charges Grow
ing: Oat of Matter.
WASHINGTON," Nov. 27.-The senate
committee on military affairs today heard
Major James E. Runcle of Havana, prob
ably the moat Important wltnesa that will
be offered by opponents of General Wood In
their attempt to prevent hla confirmation
to be major general. Major Runcle waa on
the stand several tlmea today, telling the
committee of a dinner at BanUugo. Cuba,
attended by himsHf, General Wood and
Ray Btannard Baker, a newspaper man, at
which. It waa alleged, was planned the
magazine article attacking Major General
Brooke that has figured conspicuously in
the Wood case.
Major Runcle was stopped more than once
In the course of his teotlmony and told to
give nothing but facts of which he had per
sonal knowledge. This did not exclude his
story of the dinner, which resulted In sub
poenas for three other witnesses, among
whom Is General Brooke.
In his testimony Major Runcle explained
that he had acted as the confidential ad
viser of Oenersl Wood for nearly 'two years
and that they lived together at Santiago. It
was while they were living In the sumo
house that Mr. Baker went to Santiago In
search of material for a magaslne article.
A meeting waa arranged between the men
and a dinner followed, teatlfled Major Run
cle. at which they discussed the plan to
have published an article which would ex
ploit the success of General Wood In deal
ing with affairs at Santiago and draw a
comparison with the situation at Havana
unfavorsbale to the administration of Gen
eral Brooke.
Rnarle Wrote for Wood.
Major Runcle declared that General Wood
asked him to write the article and that he
had done so. The article was given to
Baker and published In February, I'.HjO, over
the name of Major Runcle, He asserted
that General Wood knew what the article
contained and that they had correspond
ence about It as the result of the furore
crested by Its publication. He offered to
produce eopies of letters which he had
written to General Wood concerning hla
own defense. It waa not until after Gen
eral Wood succeeded General Brooke that
the article was published. The effect was a
severance of the relations between th wit
ness and General Wood.
Major Runcle then began the practice of
law at Havana and, according to his tetl
mony, has been there ever sine. The wit
ness said that when the secretary of war
went to Cuba, following the disclosures to
the department, the suggestion was made
by either the aecretary or General Wood

night for Cleveland, O., and Is expected to
return within three days and hold himself
subject to the call of the commission.
His connections In Havana may make It
necessary for him to appear beforo the
commission to testify in other matters than
the magazine article. It Is said he has
knowledge of General Wood's order for the
arrest of Rathbone and, as the agent In
Havana for a Maryland bonding company,
can give Information in regard to Major
Pithbone's charge that General Wood used
his Influence with the courts in having
Rathbone'a bond fixed at a figure he de
clares to have been unreasorahle.
Other witnesses called by the committee
to testify today were: Major J. E. Ladd,
U. 8. A., who audited General Wood's San
tiago accounts; Waills Clearman, a former
employe of a New York Jewelry house,
who rrfade the sale to the Jal Alai company
of the silver set which was given to Gen
eral Wood, and an employe of the bureau
of insular affairs, who explained the char
acter of the game and the manner In
which speculation is Indulged in by the
spectators. Baskets, raquets and other
paraphernalia were used In Illustrating the
manner of play.
A subpoena was issued today for Major
General Brooke, former governor general
of Cuba. The summons was Issued fol ow
ing tentimony given by Major Runcle con
cerning tha magazine article which ap
peared over his signature. From the char
acter of witnesses called it appears that
the committee's Investigation is to be com
plete In every particular and that none of
the charges is to be overlooked as un
worthy of consideration.
ADJOURjN UNTIL TUESDAY
Senate and House Complete Busi
ness of the Week and Take
Vacation.
WASHINGTON, Nov. ?7.-The house met
today and adjourned until Tuesday. The
session was marked by a debate on the
motion to adjourn over during which the
minority took the republicans to task for
not proceeding to the transaction of busi
ness. Mr. Williams, the minority leader,
protested against the house, saying the
leaders were afraid to trust themselves,
and yet there were matters which the
ways and means committee could consider,
citing among other things the resolution
relative to Canadian reciprocity. Mr. De
Armond also criticized the republican ma
jority for its course. Mr. Payne (N. Y ), on
whose request time was given to debate
the closing resolution, said he would hardly
care to take up the question of tariff for
revenue. He also said the time waa not
opportune to consider reciprocity with
Canada. There was a party alignment on
the vote and the houso adjourned until
Tuesday.
After a session of twenty-five minutes'
duration the senate adjourned today until
next Tuesday. The business of the session
waa confined almost exclusively to the In
traduction of relief bills.

ILLNESS CAUSES THE DELAY
Euo-Japnesa Treaty Awaits Develop
ment of Czarina's Malady.
RESENTMENT TOWARD UNITED STATES
Attitude of This Country Makee
Russia Nervous and No Good
Reavaon Is Been for lta
Position.
PARIS, Nov. 71. Official advices received
here say the Russo-Japanese situation Is
better than it is generally understood to
be. The delay in forwarding the pacific
negotiations is said to be due to -Japan's
request that Viceroy Alexteff send to the
cxar a report covering certain essential
conditions.
Thla report has been transmitted, but
owing to the cxurlna's illness the court ts
absent from St. Petersburg, and it Is diffi
cult to secure final action. The French of
ficials believe ths situation will be ma
terially Improved as soon as the czar goes
over Admiral A'sxicff's report.
Much Business Delayed.
BT! PETERSBURG, Nov. 27.-Any tem
porary suKpeiiHion of the negotiations at
Tokio, It is explained here. Is due to the
situation at Bklerrilewlce, where Admiral
Alexleff's propositions have been forwarded
for the consideration of the czar. Reports
on many Important matters have been
there for ten days, awaiting the ccar'a de
cision.
M. Kurino, the Japanese minister at St.
Petersburg, denies the statement made by
the London Times, November 16. In a dis
patch from Toklo. to the effect that Japan
submitted propoxate In October, and that
Russia has been silent on the subject.
The prolongation of the Russo-Japanese
negotiations at Toklo, which have been
delayed by Viceroy Alexteff'a return to St.
Petersburg, is due to the inability to reach
an understanding regarding Corea. '
Agreed as to Manchuria.
Tentative terms on the subject of Man
churia have been settled. Japan recognizes
Russia's dominant Interest and agrees not
to place obstacles In the way of the solu
tion of the problem. While still maintain
ing the ultimate recognition of Its treaty
rights, open ports and the integrity of Chi
nese sovereignty, Japan is content to leave
these questions In abeyance, so as not to
embarrass Russia. In return Japan insists
on the recognition of its Influence tn Corea
and the opening of Yongampho or other
ports to foreign trade. Russia la willing to
concede something, but opposes the open
ing of Yongampho, on account of Its prox
imity to the mouth of the Yalu river, on
the ground that It will threaten lta Inter
ests and complicate difficulties In Man
churia. Rust-la Is doing everything possible to
bring the negotiations to a close. Viceroy
Alexleff has the czar's orders to this effect,
lasata believes It wise to press matters
while Japan is In a pacific mood, which Is
attributed to foreign counsel. The chief fear
expressed here la that the moral effect of
the United State' pressure on the open
door policy will lead Japan to raahneaa.
The attitude of the United Etatea causes
much nervousness and soma reseutmeuL

The Russian view is that no good reason
exists why the United States should be
come Involved in a quarrel at the instiga
tion of Russia's enemlea when American
Interests are not yet Invaded. It is pointed
out that last winter and spring the United
States was aroused by the persistent decla
ration in the British and Japanese press
that Russia never would permit China to
sign a commercial treaty, yet it was
signed on the date fixed.
The sudden flash of anger in China over
the Russian reoccupatlen of Mukden, be
cause It Is the old burial place of the an
cestors of the present dynasty. Is not con
sidered grave, as China's lmpotency la
recognized. Nevertheless all steps will be
taken to avoid a rupture, as China's friend
ship Is needed for the future.- Despite the
conviction here that the crisis has passed
for the winter, Russia la taking nothing
for granted. Three-quartera of its fleet is
massed in or moving to the Puclflc. Prac
tically nothing Is left on the European
side.
Travelera who have Just returned from
Port Arthur report that the traina going
eastward are still .filled with troops and
ammunition. It Is estimated that Russia
now has more than 150,000 troops east of
Baikal equipped for eventualities. A tele-
.urn tr-nm V.irl ArtllUT BO VI YllSn Shi
Kal, the governor of Chi 1.1 province. Is

of November lo negotiate with the
Russians.

TOKIO, Nov. 27. There haa been no al

Russia. Leading organs urge tno govern-
ment to press Russia for an answer re

supposed to be well Informed it is believed
that the Russian answer will reach Toklo
