WAR GOD BUSY IN
CARIBBEAN REGION
ReVoltS Reported In Many Central
American Republics.

Washington, Sept 6.-Conditions in
the Caribbean are becoming a dread
ed menace to continued order and
peace in that region, according to ad-
vices to the state department. There
is still a remnant of the Castro revo-
luton in Venezuela, the beginnings of
a revolt in the Dominican republic
and trouble is threatened in both Mic
aragua and Honduras.
The most serious trouble, apparent
ly, is in the Dominican republic. An
uprising is under way in Puerto Plata
province, in the northern part of the
republic. Cable communication is cut
off and Washington officials are un-
able to obtain direcr information as
to the latest Developments 1t is prob
able that a warship will be sent to
Santo Domingo City soon to make an
investigation of the situation. A num-
ber of custom houses in the northern
district have been closed by order of
Receiver General Wick, who repre-
SChto bhS ChiACN ONatCo 6ONC
in the administration custom service.
Nicaragua members of the Liberty
party are reported to have planned a
revolt centering in the city of Gran
ada, which figured prominently in the
uprising of year ago. The govern
ment has headed off the reported re-
volt for the present, it is stated, but
owing to the shelving of the Nicara-
guam treaty with the United States,
Nicaraguan finances are in a demor-
allied condition.
From Honduras it was reported
some days ago that an expedition
aimed at the overthrow of the present
government had gathered on small
island off the coast of British Hon
duras, and would soon make an attack
on Puerto Cortez, the principal port
of Honduras on the Atlantic side.
The United States gunboat Nashville
was sent to Puerto Cortez early this
week to watch the situation. Nothing
has occurred so far.

SENATORS IN WRANGLE
Williams Trys to Keep Lippitt From

John Sharp Williams of Mississippi

took place in the senate. 1t started
in discussion over the cotton sched.
ule of the tariff bill. Before it had
ended Mr. Williams had drawn "Jef'

apparently designed to exclude him
from voting on the cotton schedule
because he is cotton manufacturer.
Senator Lippitt, white with anger,
charged that Senator Williams him

Is cotton planter and had voted for
and advocated free cotton bagging on
