Battleships Restored

Washington, June 3.-The Senate com naittee on naval affairs restored to the naval appropriation bill provision for two battleships stricken out by the House.
 In addition to the battleships the Sem ate committee today provides for eight submarine torpedo boats instead of four voted by the Rouse. It retains the House provision for six torpeod boat destroyers. two fuel ships. one to be built in a Pa clfic coast navy yard, tender to de- stroyers and submarine tender
 The S1 ,0o0,o0o provision for a great wire less station system is designed to provide direct control of the American naval ves- sels from Washington, "throughout all probable spheres of action and to main- tain direct communication with the in sular possessions and Alaska despite the possible failure or destruction of cables vital to national defense.
 Free admission of war material from abroad was urged by the administra- tion, not because any such purchases now are contemplated, but because the navy department might be forced to buy abroad in emergency. The House bill would make 1t impossible for the gov ernment to procure powder If the gov ernment factory at Indian Head, Md, should be disabled and the Senate com mittee corrected this. The appropriations for mine appliances contemplated an in- creasing reserve supply by mines as d lesson drawn from the Japanese Russian conflict.

CRUCIAL MOMENT
 IN CUBAN REVOLT Gomez Asks Permission to
 Suspend Guarantees CAUSES A SENSATION
Is Indicative of Extreme Gravity of the Situation--Cuban Govern ment Will Get 5000 Rifles
 From the United States

Havana June 3.-President Gomez sent a message to congress this after noon requesting the passage of law empowering him to. saaapend sthe-- cons stitutional guarantees either through out the republic or in such portions as he may consider necessary No action was taken in consequence of lack of quorum, but the message was referred to committee and a special session called for tomorrow to discuss the mo- mentous measures, which 1t Is be- lieved marks the crucial moment Tn dealing with the insurrection.
 The Presidents action was taken In accordance with the urgent recon1- mendations of General Monteagudo, comma nder In chief, now at Santiago, following a long conference by tele- graph, in which Monteagudo declared it Is absolutely necessary to suspend guarantees to prevent cooperation of negro eonspirators with those actually in arms The general said the severest measure to strike terror into the ne- groes are essential. He intends 10 pur- que the rebels mercilessly and deal stmmarily with all suspected of aiding the insurgents should the suspension of the guarantees be authorized, which appears practically certain.
 VIII Denuue NounLTF
 The next steps likely will be re- course to a rigorous policy of recon centration throughout Oriente to pre- vent recruits from joining the insur- gent columns. and also denuding the country of the means of subsistence to the rebels and cutting off their sources of information regarding movements of the regular troops.
 The Dominican general, Nictorfano Lopez arrived today at Havana from Puerto Plata. He and his companions were arrested on suspicion that they intended to aid the insurgents.
 General Mendieta reports skirmish- ing recently around LaGloria, where there are upward of 2000 rebels. At Hatillo there are about 1000 rebels. with still another corps of 800 not far distant Skirmishlng continues in inc region between San Lilis. Guantanamo and Santiago, but no important results have been achieved.
 There does not seem 10 be any prob ability of serious fighting in the next few days, but the news of the Pres tdent's request for permission to sus- pend the constitutional guarantees has caused q profound sensation as indlca- tive of the extreme gravity of the sit- nation. In Santiago conditions appear to be growing hourly more critical. At Havana there is a feeling of grave ap prehension the result of persistent ru- mors of possible negro rising. Many Americans in Havana province are talk l ing refuge in the capital.

Has Full Power

.eThe committee had full power 10 m vestigate the beef trust matter without the Edwards resolution. and expected 10 do so. as soon as the Archibald case had been disposed of. and would have done so earlier. but it was only on May that an appropriation of s25,eoo was granted to pay the expenses of these investigations
 The Washington Times says today edi- torially:
 "chairman Clayton of the House conl- mittee on judiciary announces that. once undertaken. the new investigation or the beef trust will be thorough and contlnu- ous. the committee remaining in session all summer, if necessary. in order to ar rive at the facts attending the nnprece- dented rise in the price of meats.
 Nov. this sounds something Ike pnsi- raas We never have much trouble m this country to start a probe of an evil hut the truth seeking spirit soon becomes faint and finally hickers out. Pressure is brought to bear, witnesses are spl' away. and all things 'conspire to rehoei ipvestigation nil.

..The most prolific source of piisni "i''n overcomes so many committees appointea to investigate a subject of great moment ix the weakness of the probers. So long as the investigation skins the surface and throws up spray that it is cool and pleasant to behold, things move rapidly ; hut the moment some one plnnges 10 the bottom and brings up a mass of faets, figures. slim and water logged precedents reauiring painstaking analysis, the spirits of tho investigators lag, the flesh becomes weak. the days grow hot. the baseball game aliures, the summer resort beckons and the postoffice fight back home gets in a snarl-snd another investigation falls by the wayside. ss. $
