continuous session since 10 o'clock Mon

cratic senate. The house transacted no

PLAGUE IN MEXICO
People Said to BE Dying Like Sheep
In Blizzard From the Dread Dis

Nogales, Ari., Jan. 21.-Reports from
Mexico are to the effect that the bu-
bonic plague is spreading. and that at
SONG places the people are dying like
sheep in q blizzard. The federal au-
thorities are using heroic efforts to
check the spread of the plague in Ma
zatlan, and have ordered the burning
OF the ship yard erected a few years
ago at a heavy expense.
The destruction OF the ship yard is
only part of program Of desperate
measures to be taken to rid the city
OF the dread plague.
It is now believed that the plague
has been contracted from infected ves-
sells coming in from the east and haa
been carried ashore by rats or some
other animals.
1t is Impossible to get rid of these
pests without destroying the building
they infest, and IL necessary all the
adobe buildings in Mazatlan will be
burned or razed to rid them of plague
infested rodents. An attempt has been
made to prevent the spread of the dis
ease by means of these animals by
poisoning them. but has been of no
avail.
The people of Mazatlan have been
anxiously awaiting the arrival of virus
from the United States. It is pro-
posed to inoculate the population as
far as possible with the virus.
Bisbee, Ari.. Jan. 21-Information
has reached here that the dreaded bu
bonic plague has made its appearance
at Torporico, Mexico. sixty-five miles
from Minas Prietaa, state OF Som
ora.
The story is that an unknown white

rapidly developed symptoms of the
plague. The man admitted that he
was from Mazatlan, and said he had
made his way thru the quarantine
lines without much trouble.
The people OF Torporico are greatly
excited and many have left the town
lit is also reported that the plague has
been discovered in small interior towns
in Sonora.
Further reports received here are to
the effect that there is nc
plague at Hermosillo and Guayamas

The people of Topolobampo are re-
ported to be dying like sheep and leav-

should try to enter Maracaibo harbor
lis not understood here, where the op-
GRAFTON is regarded as simple act OF
force consequent upon the maintenance
Of an affective blockade. The allied
commanders including the Italian and
British, must, under the agreement.
| it is pointed out, have been consulted
beforehand, and have Jointly ordered
the operation, which was left to a
German vessel to carry out, because
that part of the coast was assigned to
the Germans, and therefore the Brit
ish and Italian commanders share the
responsibility equally with the Ger.
man commander.
Besides this the view continues to
be held that the blockade must be
strictly enforced until the potocol is
signed, as in no other way can Presi-
dent Castro be kept up to a realization
OF the fact that the allies mean busi-
ness. 1t is considered that if the
blocade is allowed to languish the ne
gotiations at Washington will be
Heightened.
The reason for the Panther's action
suggested here is that it was to pre-
vent trade with Colombia thru the
river port of Villanuzar, and by the
lCataun1bo. and Zulia rivers, which en-
ter into Lake Maracaibo, which has
enabled Venezuela to partially defeat
the blockade.
Commodore Scheder's report OF the
bombardment of Fort San Carlos has
not yet been received here. because it
was cabled from the Port of Spain,
Trinidad, involving considerable de-
lay.
Chancellor Won Buelow, discussing
the Venezuelan situation in the Reich
stag today, said:
President Castro has recognized in
principle the justice OF Germany s
Great Britain's and Italy's demands,
and has agreed to the preliminary con-
ditions. for transferring the controver-
sy to The Hague aritration court.
Diplomatic conferences are about to be-
gin at Washington. The American
government has kindly undertaken
to conduct the negotiations.
"Our aim is to bring armed action
to the speeeiest possible termination.
The blockade will be raised as soon as
the negotiations at Washington have
reached a satisfactory conclusion
When circumstances admit OF 1t, ]
shall give the Reichstag further infor-
nation. Full agreement has prevailed
between Great Britain and Germany
as well as Italy, thruout the entire
rnatter"

REFUSE cUEAN CONTROL.
American Residents Of Isle Of Pines il


IS
Havana, Jan. 21.-The Americans re-
siding il the Isle of Pines deny the
general assumption OF the Cuban gov
ernment that the United States has no
special interest in the island, and 1t is
not likely to insist on the eventual
ownership Of It.
Recently the American residents OF
ehe island unitedly notified the alcalde
pr the Isle Of Pines and the Guam gov
ernmsnt OF their intention to resist, by
force ifs necessary, the collection OF
taxes or any assumption OF authority
over the island by the Cuban govern
ment. The taxes are now falling due,
and every American has pledged him-
self not to pay them The American
contention Is founded Oh the section OF
0fle Platt amendment which expressly
pn1its the Isle Of Pines from the bound
aries OF Cuba and leaves the title to II
Cor future adjustment by treaty.
Three hundred Americans have, since
vhe war, taken up their residence in the
isle of Pines, and II is estimated that
100 Americans have interests in the
island. Their desire that the island re-
main American is not purely send-

chan 20 per cent tariff preference. While
as a territory of the United States the
Islanders hope for freer trade with
America.
The government, while acknowledg-
ing the. matter of the ownership of the
island is open, holds that it has de facto
control over the island for the tims
being at least, and that it therefore Is

1t is believed the United States vii
approve of this position as against the

QUAY is STUBBORN.
He is Holding Up All Legislation in
the Senate.

washington, d. c., Jan. 21.-There is
an extremely tangled condition OF al
fairs in the senate which is causing
great anxiety, not only at the capltol
but at the white house as we'll. Cuban
reciprocity, antitrust legislation, state
hood, Philippine gold standard, immi-
grafton. and the department of COM
merce measures are all now suspended
lin nidair as a consequence of dead
lock in the senate, which, instead OF
|loosening. seems to be getting tighter
every day.
The situation has become so serious
as to call for anxious conferences OF
the senate steering committee and OF
Heading republican senators with the
president. The difficulty all grows out
Of the determination of Senator Quay
to hold up all miscellaneous legislation
until the omnibus statehood bill is
passed. and in this he is being sup
ported by the solid democratic strength
the leaders of that party being only
too glad to embarrass the administra-
Ition.
Quay has been showing his teeth OF
Ilate, and the republican senators nave
become frightened over the situation
because their colleague from Pennsyl-
yania has refused to be bound by any
party ties whatsoever and has defied
the republican caucus and has antag-
onized Senator Allison, the father OF
the senate and chairman of the repub-
lican steering committee.
Late yesterday afternoon the steer
ing committee held stormy
meeting. There was great IN
Gignation at Quay, but there
was no practical suggestion TO
break the combination he has formed
with the solid democratic strength.
The committee decided to let the debate
on the statehood bill drift along for
a day or two If possible, and then
make an attempt to substitute some
one Of the other important measures
like the department OF commerce or
the Philippine gold standard Dill, lor
Mr. Quay's pet measure.
There is belief that the outcome
will be compromise Of the statehood
bill, because Mr.. Quay is always un-
scrupulous in his political methods ana
has already been roasted SO thoroughly
for years that he is Indifferent to pub
lic opinion The compromise, when
1T does come, will probably be offered
by Senator Fairbanks, and will consist
of a proposition to admit Arizona ana
New Mexico as a single state and OK
Ilahoma as another with or without the
addition Of Indian territory.
