70 INTERCEPT I THE EMPIRE Cruiser Marblehead d Sails from Panama. THE GUATEMALAN REVOLUTION American Vessel Carrying Arms to
 the Rebels. Toledo Reports That He Has won Another Victory Tn His Effort to
 Overthrow the Cabrera Ad- ministration.
THE GUATEMALAN REvOL UTION

Washington, June s.-Secrecy no longer surrounds the movement of the
 United States cruiser Marblehead, which has sailed north from Panama. At the request of the state department, the Marbiehead sailed from San Jose. Guatemala, to investigate the move ments of the American steamer Elm pire, which is reported to have landed recruits from San Francisco and arms and ammunition for the use of the
 revolutionists against President Ca brera.
 Disquieting dispatches reached the state department today from Guate- mala concerning the revolution. The enemies of the present administration
 are. active in several parts of the re- public, but 1t is impossible to discover the exact causes for the movement and the directing force
 Both the Salvadorean and Mexican borders have been lending support to the revolution and 1t is the desire of this government that the Marblehead shall ind out exactly what the situa- tion is and have care taken that there be no participation in the revolution by Americans which may involve the United States in an international dis pute.
 The Empire coaied at corinto. Mica raeua, before sailing for San Jose. ac- cording to dispatches from Panama. There was no attempt to conceal the fact that the steamer, which was fly ing the American flag. carried arms and ammunition.
 The Empire n Small Vessel. The vessel is a tug seventy feet in length and her normal crew number thirteen men.
 an interesting question as to the right of the United States government to run down and seize United states merchant vessel under the condition s,,pnosed to surround the Empire on her present mission. If the Empire had gone outyof an American port ia- den simply. with ammunipon ana small arms: she could not De tnterferea with. having perfect right to engage in that business as a merchant carrier
 sut if she left sar rrancisco, with arn,s -in her hold and men aboard, sstde from her crew, intended to form a hostile expedition. directed against A friendly nation, then the command CT undoubtedly was guilty of oreacn of the neutrality laws and his ship is subject to seizure wherever sne can be found.
 Even the Empire did not have the hostile expedition aboard when she sailed from America. but embarked the men at a Nicaraguan port. she Is still subject to stoppage if she is flying the American flag She would then be a filibusterer, pure and simple. and the captain of the Marblehead would un- doubtedly seize the ship and crew with out hesitation and bring them for trlal and condemnation to the nearest United States port

WILLIAMS WON'T QUIT.
Minority Leader to Continue Battles on
 Floor of Congress.


 Washington, June e.-(Special. }- Somewhat of sensation was caused today by q rumor afterward published this evening as a fact that minority leader Williams of Mississippi would he offered by the faculty of the Uni versItv of Virginia and would accept at the end of his present term the chair of political economy st the\ University of Virginia.
 Mir Williams said last night that there was no occasion for such story He had been offered no such connection with the University, and had given no intimation that he would accept any offer of the kind. Upon any sugges- tion that 1t might be proffered to him hsreafter he had heard that such a chair was contemplated at the Univer- sitv and he had probably remarked that It would be pleasant 10 quit the hurly- .burlv If politics for the shades of the academy al SO great an institution as tbe University of Virginia. but beyond some such observation ho had never said anything upon which to base the story printed that he intended to quit Congress.

drawal of the government inspection

drawal of the government inspection
 IS the only way the department has to enforce its regulations. Tn view ( z the fact that the product of an abb toir not under Inspection went into - terstate commerce made the df @ t. nent loath to withdraw the insy Won. The cost of the government in ;tion last year was two cents for cattle, 1-4 ents for hogs ana 3-4 cents for sheep. The proposed sanitary inspec- tion would increase the cost. in his estimation. to five cents per head for cattle and calves l. three cents for hogs and sheep. The total annual cost on this basis would be $1,soo,215. In addition, he saw need for an emer- gency appropriation to meet extensions. Dr. Melvin was asked what he thought of the Presidents estimate of eight cents per head and replied that 1t was a very hard matter to estimate and that the President might be right.
 Could Be Kept IndcAnitely. pr. Melvin gave 1t as his opinion that canned meats kept under favora- ble conditions and air tight would keep indefinitely.
 Each year there were from eight to dozen plants which had applied for inspection, but which from lack of funds the bureau was unable to give. Dr. Melvin said that in Germany, the inspection covered two thirds of the product, while ours covered from sixty to sixty-hve per cent. In Argen- tine and Australia there Is no inspec- ton
 MT Wilson, representing the pack CTS. said at this point:
 The Japanese government sent a committee of officials who made an in- spection of the plants and methods, after which they bought many hundred thousand cases of goods. Russia during the war was large purchaser but without inspection or examination. Oc- casionally other countries send a rep resentative to make an examination of the plants and methods"
 George P. McCabe, solicitor for the Department of Agriculture, took practi- |cally the same ground as to the right
 to require sanitation In interstate trade that MT. Cowan took. He did not believe Congress had the right to make the violation of Federal sanitary conditions a misdemeanor subject to penalty.
 Tn reply to a question by Chairman Wadsworth, Dr Melvin said the only foreign complaint as to American meat he had ever received was as to three or four barrels of pigs feet that went down to South America and were spoil ed in transit.
 The hearings closed with the days testimony.
 After short executive sesion, the committee decided to take pthe in- spection amendment Monday for con sideration with the view of reporting 1t to the House as soon as possible
 A second telegraphic request of Up- ton Sinclair, author of the Jungle" to be heard, was considered and the com naittee decide dnot to hold further hear ings.
