NO CHANGE IN POLICY !. SAYS GOVERNMENT
Is Not Intimidated by the Threats of Rebel
 Leader

Washington, May 30.-The implied threat of Orozco, the Mexican leader, to relax discipline so far as to permit his follow CTS to plunder foreign property and per haps to attack Americans, in retaliation for the rigid enforcement of the neu- trality law, will not in any respect change the attitude of the American government toward the revolutionists, according to state department officials today. But it Is pointed out by some of the officials that in the event Orozco, by superior force, is driven by the federals across the line into American territory, he or any of his of- ficers, who are guilty of conniving at or actively taking part in any such outrages upon foreigners, would be promptly ar rested and surrendered, under extradition proceedings, to the Mexican government.
 Meanwhile the threat has served to again remind Americans in Mexico of the warning conveyed by President Taft in his proclamation against becoming in- volved in any way In the present revolu- tion, and of his advice to them to prompt ly withdraw from any such exposed and dangerous localities as the state of Chi ! huahua and other territory included in the field of operations of the revolution | ists.

SQUADRON WILL
 STAYAT KEY WEST
Will Await Orders Before Invading Cuban Waters
ADVICES PEACEFUL
Second Squadron Reaches Key West. Men Will Not Be Allowed to Go on Shore-Ready to Sail
 at Short Notice

Washington. May S0-The Cuban squadron will await orders from Wash ington before/proceedlng to Cuban wa ters. The issue of orders will depend upon the reports from American Min ister Beaupre al Havana
 Although the arrival of General Monteguedo at Santiago and his as- sumption of the supreme command of the Cuban military forces in Oriente was expected in Havana to mark the beginning of movement in combined force against the rebels under General Estenoz, the reports to the state de- partment today were quite peaceful.
 From their knowledge of the campaign methods of the rebel leaders. state de- partment officials do not anticipate anything in the nature of a general en- gagement but believe that the rebels will avoid any such test of strength with their raw and half-armed levies. Instead they are expected to break up into small squads and take to the bush, which, of course, would be most un- welcome to foreign interests as in creaslng the danger to isolated Amer ican-owned plantations, exposed to the raids of Irresponsible guerillas.
 May Treat Them Like Mexico
 Attention has been directed to the fact that under the newly enacted neu- trality law, the President may apply to Cuba the same restriction as to the admission of American arms and am intuition that has been employed in the case of the Mexican instruction. It Is true that under strict construc- ton of the law, only American arms and munitions of war could be ex- cluded from Cuba But as the enforce ment of even that much of the act would involve the establishment of a close cordon of United States naval small craft around the eastern end of Cuba, it would operate to make 1t diff flcuIt for such arms and ammunition to reach the rebels, even from San Do mingo or Hayti or St. Thomas, or any of the adjacent islands because of the certainty of the detention and inspec- ton and report of any foreign vessel or boat carrying the weapons.

RAISE IN INSURANCE

Taxes in Perry Will Also Be Increased-COttOn in
 Bloom

Marion, May Especial )-Marion and Perry county will soon feel the effects of raise in fire insurance rates and taxes that are causing so much discussion in other parts of the state
 r. P. Martin of Ozark was here this week. presumably to look over the tax books as a preliminary step In advance in taxes to be made in the next few months, while agents of fire insurance companies have received notice of ad- yances in rates on tenant property and household goods. In this connection it can be said that someone must bear all the burdens of taxation and increases.
 About one year ago all fire companies operating under the Southeastern Tariff association allowed their agents to make application for an advance in commits sions and on this class of property the advance was from 25 to 8 per cent. The tariff association sustained the companies in allowing the agents applications to be favorably acted on. Now the insured is asked to pay the agents advance com. mission.
