First Real Uprising Under the
New Order Of Govern
meni
NOT DETERMINED HOW BAD
President Gomez Declares he WIN
Stamp it Out and Make an Ex-
ample Of All Concerned and to
Pursue and XIII All Taking Part.

HAVANA, Cuba, March l6.-The
first real uprising against the new
Cuban republic occurred last night.
How serious the trouble is hard to
determine. A sergeant Of the ruraI
guards. stationed at Vueltas, Santa
Clara province, with a party Of ~
men took to the woods and the
troops are in pursuit. While the
movement is apparently unimport-
ant, numerically, all indications are
that it is part Of a widespread con-
spiracy.
President Gomez declared il IS his
intention at suppressing the insurrec-
ton and making example Of all con
cerned. Orders have been issued to
surround the fugitives, and take no
prisoners il any resistance is encoun-
tered and not cease pursuit until ali
have been killed Or captured. It was
learned later that conspiracy has
been unearthcd in which members Of
the rural guard at Placetas and az
Vueltas are concerned. A former
captain of the ruraIes, corporal and
two civilians were arrested on charge
of completely in insurrectionary
movement. The dispatch Of troops
from Havana is taken as an indica-
ton that the present situation Is now
more serious than even authorities
are willing to admit. Rumors are
current that general recently dis
missed from the rural guard has ar
rived at Oriente at the head Of 200
men. but it is doubtful if there is any
truth in the report.

west Of Astoria has been shipped
from Chicago and should arrive here
the latter part Of the month Imme-
diately upon its arrival work Of tear
ing up the light s0-pound rails and
substituting the 7s-pound ones will
be commenced, and the work pushed
forward so that It may be finished in
time for the opening OF the special
Summer service to the beaches.
With the rebuilding Of the 10 or II
miles from point FIVE or six miles
west OF Astoria to the terminus at
Seaside the entire road from Port.
land to the sea will be equipped with
heavy steel rs pounds or heavier
This betterment will cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000, allowing due
credit for the value of the old rails,
and will enable the Astoria & Colum-
bia River trains to maintain a 40
mile-an-hour schedule if necessary.
When the line has been rebuilt
hrst-class new equiment will be put
into service for the Seaside Special,
and the delay that has heretofore
been necessary for changing the
heavier to lighter engines at Astoria
will be done away with. In the past
the light construction of the road
from Astoria to the beaches has re-
quired the lightest type Of engines,
light coaches and none too speedy a
schedule, but this Summer the coast
end of the road will be of just as
heavy construction as any other part.
The new Summer service to Sea-
side will be inaugurated about June
n, and General Freight and Passeii-
ger Agent H. M, Adams says it will
be a finer train that the crack train
which was so popular for the week
end trips last year He adds that II
will be possible to maintain a much
faster schedule should it be deemed
expedient to cut the running time
down below what it was in 1908.
"Last year the service seemed to
be very satisfactory to the public"
said Mr.. Adams today, "and by leav-
ing here at 2;2o o'clock Saturday af-
ternoon the cottagers and resorters
were at the beaches in time for din
ner and could remain there until af-
ter dinner Sunday evening and get to
Portland at 1920. Inasmuch as most
Of the line has been entirely rebuilt
in the last year or so, we will have
as fine roadbed as any line in the
Northwest, and our new equipment
will be in keeping with It."

President Asks That Quick AC.
tiOn be Made on Revision
Of Tariff
BUSINESS INTEREST DEMAND
Says it is Of the Highest Importance
That New Bill Should be Agreed
Upon and Passed With as Much
Speed as Possible.

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 16
The reading Of the Presidents mes
sage to congress in favor Of revising
the tariff was the chief business be-
fore the Senate today. The message
received careful attention, after which
the Senate adjourned until Friday.
The message was as follows:
"To the Senate and House Of Rep
resentatives--I have convened the
congress in this extra session in or
der to enable il to give immediate
consideration to the revision Of the
Dingley tariff act. Conditions affect
ing production, manufacture and bus
mess generally have so changed in
the last l2 years as to require a re-
adjustment and revision Of the inn
port duties imposed by that act.
More than this. the present tariff act,
with the other sources Of Govern
ment revenue, does not furnish in
come enough to pay the authorized
expenditures By July next the ex-
cess Of expenditures over receipts
for the current fiscal year win equal
Sl00,O000O0.
"The successful party in the late
election is pledged to a revision Of
the tariff. The country and the busi-
ness community especially expect it,
The prospect OF a change in the rates
of import duties always causes sus-
pension or halt in business because
Of the uncertainty as to the condi-
tons to be made and their effect. 1t
is therefore Of the highest import
ance that the new bill should be
agreed upon and passed with as much
speed as possible consistent with its
due and thorough consideration. For
these reasons, / have deemed the
present to be an extraordinary occa-
sion within the meaning Of the Con-
stitution, justifying and requiring the
calling Of an extra session.
"In my inaugural address / stated
in summary way the principles
upon which, in my judgment, the re-
vision Of the tariff should proceed,
and indicated at least one new source
of revenue that might be properly
resorted to in order to avoid future
deficit. 1t is not necessary for me to
repeat what / then said.
Il venture to suggest that the vital
business interests of the country re-
quire that the attention Of the Con-
gress in this session be chiefly de-
voted to the consideration Of the
new tariff bill, and the less time Civ
en- to other subjects Of legislation in
this session of Congress, the bet
ter for the country.
