It is the opinion of certain British cfficers, the correspondent soves on, that the forts themselves would not be able to bar the passage of the Furthermore, the mine fields have been considerably weakened, as raany mines were blown up during the | last attack while others nad \)een‘ cast adrift by a storm. | Some Forts Demolished.

Paris, March 26, 4:55 a. m.—Mine sweepers continued their operations in the Dardanelles all of Wednesday night, according to despatches from Tenedos, received yesterday by the Athens correspondent of the Havas Agency. They were protected by the guns of cruisers of the allied fleet, but their work was made difficult by a violent storm. Protect. Mine Sweepers. London, March 26, 12:08 p, m.— The British battleships Queen Eliza- beth and Agamemnon and the cruiser Cornwall entered the Dardanelles siraits Wednesday night to protect mine sweepers according to a de- spatch to Reuter’'s Telegram company, from the Island of Tenedos dated Thursday.

SCOTT PAYS TRIBUTE TO INDIANS i i S | Chief of Staff of United States Army Seeks Fair Treatent for Four Piutes at Salt Lake City. Salt Lake City, March 26.—Gen. | Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff of the United States army, guest of honor at a banquet of the Bonncville club last night, paid a tribute to what he termed the primitive virtues of the Jndian and hesought fair treatment of the four Piutes ne brought from San Juan county to Salt Lake City Wednesday. He said the Indians were simply grown up children, with a child’s kcen sense of injustice, stunned by a civ which they could not adopt them- selves. He said he had always found that the Indlans kept their agree- ments. “I have more real trustful friends, friends who are willing to lay down taeir lives for me,” he said, “among the wild redmen of the plains and mountains and the wild Moham- dans of the Philippines and the islands of the Pacific than I have among the people of my own race. The men who would deal with the Indians is the man who proves truly their friend; the man who will not, had better keep away from them.” He told of the misfortune of the tribe with which he had just dealt. He sald when the hostile Indians came to his camp, after having been convineed that no weapons, shackles or traps awaited them, they were “timid as wild horses, ready to stampode at any alarm.” They told him how they had been dispossessed of the country. of their forefathers, and were made desperate by a situa- tion they did not understand. They told him they were innoc of any intentional wrong and only ked fair treatment, which he said he promised them in the name of the Ame people, and he sincerely hopes would receive it.
