QUIET PREVAILS IN HAITI
NO INDICATIONS OF TROUBLE
IN THE REPUBLIC.
Officials Here at a Loss to Account
for Alarming Reports From
European Capitals.

So far .aS the State and Navy Depart
ments and the Haitian legation in this
city are informed quiet prevails through
out the republic of Haiti with no indi-
cations of trouble. \ cablegram to that
effect was received here last night from
Port au Prince and today a dispatch was
received from Commander Potts. COM
manding the United States naval forces
at that port. saying that the gunboat
Paducah had gone to Guantanamo for a
fresh supply of coal. AS the dispatch con-
tained no reference to the political sit
uation it is assumed at the Navy Depart
ment that affairs are comparatively tran
quill.
In the absence of information to con-
firm the press dispatches from Paris and
Berlin giving alarming accounts Of
threatened uprsngs against the foreign
residents of Haiti the officials here are
at loss to account for the systematic
circulation of such reports.
Secretary Root has authorized con-
tradiction of the Paris report that the
United States warships in Haitian ports
were about to land armed forces for the
protection of the foreign elements from a
threatened attack He has also made 1t
plain that the United States government
has not and will not intervene between
the political parties in Haiti and that no
occasion has so far arisen for any inter-
ference on it's part with administrative
affairs i'm that country. An official who
did not wish his name used said that the
United States forces now in Haitian
waters besides looking after American
interests, We're concerned in seeing that
there was no attempt on the part of any
of the European powers to interfere with
the de facto government of Haiti In the
interest of the opposition political party.

DARK HORSE IN STALL
APPOINTMENT OF PUBLIC
PRINTER SOON TO BE MADE.

President Roosevelt has a dark horse"
for public printer. and in few days is
expected to spring his man on the Senate.
From all information available today. the
man Is from west OF the Mississippi river
and his name has not heretofore been
mentioned. Secretary Loeb is not giving
out any facts. but the President has told
a number of his callers that he was near
ing settlement of the whole thing and
would announce his selection in a short
time 1t is semi-officially stated that the
negotiations between the President and his
western man have not been concluded, and
that the President Is not in position to
make an announcement for a few days. {.
All indications point tc the fact that
the protest against W. S. Rossiter being
named was effective and that no man
connected with the printing office will be
chosen.
In the last few days there has been
talk of William II. Michael. United States
consul general to Calcutta, as the pos
sible choice of the President He is from
Nebraska. and is understood to be on his
way to this country on leave of absence
lie was formerly chief clerk of the State
Department. and prior to going to that
department was newspaper man. There
is pretty good authority today, however,
for saying that Mr.. Michael Is not the
man the President has in mind.

APPROPRIATION BILLS NOT IN
A SATISFACTORY STATE.

House-only One Has Be-
come a Law.

The republican leaders in the Senate
and House are doing the amount of
worrying usual at this stage of the ses-
sion i'm connect ion with the possible date
of adjournment Just now 1t would seem
almost impossible for Congress to clean
off the slate and get out Of town before
June 1. although some time ago Speaker
Cannon said he thought May 16 would
he about the date. He is said to be some
what pessimistic on the subject, however
though no one knows better than he how
much business Congress can get out Of
the way by sitting up nights and going
after things in it's shirt sleeves.
But the status of the various annual
appropriation bills is rather discouraging
and points to a later adjournment than
was expected. OF the fourteen big money
bills five remain to be reported to the
House, while the others are in the various
stages of the journey through the House
and Senate and conference. The urgent
deficiency bill, which was reported Jan
uary %, is the only one that has become
law. having been approved February

was reported January q from the House

ference March 4. The pensions appro-

Vicious Answer to the Ameri-

Inspired Article in Presidents Per-

BUT THINLY YELLED INSULT
Says This Government May Appeal
to the Venezuelan Courts
If Not Satisfied.

CARACAS, March 19.-President Cas-
publishes a part of venezuela's answer
to Secretary Roots last note reiterating
the Secretary's previous demands for the
arbitration Of the five American claims
These are the words of the Venezuelan
minister of foreign affairs to Minister
Russell:
The government of Venezuela refuses
for the time being to take under consid
Grafton the insinuation made in your note,
because, up to now, Mr.. Minister, you
have not contradicted the notes of this
ministry of dates July 8 and September
20 last which treated of the points which
have been the subject Of discussion, and
in which the reasons on which this gov
ernment then founded it's negative were
perfectly well defined.
Says to Shut UP.
In view Of this the cases in question,
comprised among those which require
diplomatic action. cannot be considered,
and the government of Venezuela would
=
States would consider this matter termi-
mated. the interested parties always hav-
ing the right of recourse to the tribunals
of justice of the republic If they deem it
convenient
The paper goes on to allege that almost
five years after the claims in question had
been arbitrated the American government
comes to demand through its minister in
Caracas that two OF these claims shall be
newly submitted to arbitration.
Suggesting that the usefulness of the
Monroe doctrine will he destroyed by the
present attitude of the State Department.
the editorial continues:
Makes Serious Charge.
I'VE do not believe for a moment that
the United States Congress. the high rep
resentative of the nation, can possibly
authorize any proceeding which will Gre
ate a situation contrary to the rule of
justice among nations.
In closing, FL Constitutional says:
1T is the duty of every government to
watch over the legitimate and honest In
terests Of its citizens and save them from
all designing attack, but no serious gov
ernmen. nor any government which pre-
tends to be just can or ought to protect

of the persons making claim against
Venezuela.

PREACHING VS.. PRACTICE

Former Congressman Littlefield of
blaine addressed IL gathering of lawyers
ut Chicago recently. In the course of
his remarks, he said:
Ex-senator Lodge in the republican ma
tIOnal convention, said that President
Roosevelt had enforced the laws as he
found them on the statute book. The
republican party platform congratulatcs
itself on the enforcement of all the laws.
IN the light of cases. | have cited to YOU
it would seem that Il proclamation to
rNpend, not performance. constitutes
enforcement Of the law. The diSting-
,iiShed publiciSts, like business men, are
very much disturbed for fear they are

that this apprehension has any rcasona-
Ile foundation
