o'shaughnessy's public declaration az
the Mexico city embassy that no IS
surances had been given him that
Huerta would not 90 candidate at
the coming election, and authoritative
declarations acre that such assur-
ances had been given, aroused dis
position IN some quarters to question
whether O'Shaughnessy and the state
department were working in accord,
but officials denied flatly that there
was any friction.
Diplomatists regard Mr.. O'shaug-
ness's denial as being required BY
the politics Of the situation in the
Mexican capital, and the administra-
ton view is that Huerta will not be
candidate.
The understanding is that Mexico
city authorities viii maintain to the
last that the constitution alone pre-
vents Huerta becoming candidate TO
succeed himself, and thus avoid ap-
pearances Of having acceded to the
American proposal.

SECURE EARLY PASSAGE OF
THE BILL

Washington, Sept. 8-The admins
tration currency bill probably will be
reported tomorrow and be ready for
debate Wednesday. The republican

again questioned tomorrow.
Chairman Henry Of the house rules
committee called at the White House
today, he said, to assure President
Wilson that his committee was ready
to introduce a special rule, if neces-
sary, to expedite the bill through the
house. He predicted that the bill
would be passed by the house after a
weeks debate.
Democratic senate leaders decided
today to move no further toward an
agreement on the administration bill
until it has passed the house. After
a conference with colleagues on the
banking committee, Chairman Owen
today secured President Wilson'S ten
tative approval Of the plan.
The hearings begun last week and
resumed early today will be suspend
ed in about two weeks and when the
tariff bill is out Of the way many
senators will leave Washington for
a short rest.

Grafton Of the bill in committee viii

before it will be possible to estimate
what support it can command in the
senate.

RESULT OF INTERNAL STRIFE
STATE ANNOUNCES 1T HAS Sc
cEDED FROM THE CENTRAL
GOVERNMENT
AMERICAN LIVES IN DANGER
GUNBoAT DEs MONIES is SENT
TO AFFORD PROTECTION
TO FOREIGNERS

Washington, Sept. S.-Puerto Plata
in the Dominican republic, where a
revolution IS IL piosless, is being
shelled by Dominican gunboats, with
great danger to American lives and
property. Jose M. Esteva, American
consul there, so reported today. The
gunboat Des Moines is on the way
there
The Des Moines is at Guantanamo
today. coaling for the run to Puerto
Plata, where she is due tomorrow.
Puerta Plata has been in the hands
of the Dominican rebels ever since
the latest revolution started with the
announcement of the governor that
the state had seeded from all alleg-
lance to the central government. The
present danger to Americans and their
property comes from the attempt of
the Dominican government to force
the rebel stronghold to capitulate.
The supposed leader of the uprising
is Hector velasquez, one time provis-
ional president Or the republic. Pre-
vious meager adyices gave no indi-
cation that any fighting had occurred.
So far as navafg alces are inform
ed. the Dominican navy consists Of
two or three converted yachts, armed
with 6-pounders and machine guns,
They could cause great damage to
an unfortified town like Puerto Plata,
and particularly since it is largely Of
wooden constructions and might
easily be set afire.
American interests in Puerto Plata
are small. A number Of Porto
.Ricans recently have entered the bus
mess community there. Warrant for
Intervention by Commander Andrew
P. Long Of the Des Moines would be
found in any action on either side
interfering with the operation of the
customs house, under American SUI
pervision and control It is expected
that Commonder Long will insist that
hostilitles be conducted outside the
limits Of the town.
The reason for the revolt against
President Bordas is understood to be
founded on the objection Of Governor
Cespedes Of the province Of Puerto
Plata, against the attempts Of the
general government to wrest cont,ol
from the provisional officers Of the
government railroad from Puerto
Plata to Santiago, which has figured
frequently in the politics Of the is
land.

HEAVY TOLL ON The rich
AMENDMENT TO TAX BIG LEGA-
clEs MEETS WITH CONSIDER
ABLE SUPPORT

Washington, Sept S.-The demo-
cratic tariff bill, introduced by Major
ity Leader Underwood five ncnth9
ago and passed by the house four
months ago today, may pass the sen
ate before adjournment When the
measure was called up early today
by Chairman Simmons Of the finance
committee it was the intention to
hold the senate in session until a
vote was reached.
Leaders on both sides agreed that
the bill surely would be reported back
to the house some time tomorrow. In
conference the measure is expected
to be debated less than two weeks.
After some preliminary discussion
today, Senator La Toilette took the
floor for his first general discussion
Of the bill, having deferred his amend
ments to the wool and cotton sched-
ules until the climax Of the debate.
Roads Measure Lost
Senator Dillingham's amendment to
turn back each states income tax for
good roads, with the provision that
each state appropriate a like amount,
was lost. Foreign books were re-
turned to the free list, as originally
provided by the house.
Senator smoot moved to reduce the
duty on cut, but not set, diamonds,
pearls and other precious stones from
20 per cent to 10 per cent. The
amendment was lost. Senator Norris,
progressive republican, called up his
tax amendment proposing tax on in
heritances, graduated from one per
cent on $4,000 up to rs per cent on
bequests exceeding $5O,O0O,0oo It IS
said it was designed to break up i'm
mense fortunes
Senator Clapp, progressive repqbli-
can, said he would support the amend
ment, although he believed the time
had come when the government should
go further and not allow people Of
great wealth like the Astors 70 lake
what does not belong to them from
the people, Z
Senator Norris took the case OF Vim
cent Astor to illustrate the effect OF
this amendment The younger Astor'
he said, did nothing to accumulate the
fortune Of SSo, 100000 he received from
his father.
'Under this proposed amendment
said Senator Norris, the tax Vincent
Astor would pay to the government
would be s43,199,5 500 He would then
have more than sS6,00Oooo tipped into
his lap. a fortune made by millions
Of people Of the United States; a for
time for the accumulation of which
he did not sweat a drop, fortune
accumulated without an effort Of his
hand and brain. Such tax would no
lbe robbing Mr.. Astor."
