WASHINGTON, May 19. - Three hundred marines at Norfolk and be- twtrsn 4ee and 5Go- in Haiti Were or dered tonight to Santo Domingo to re inforce the American force policing the little republic. Those at Norfolk will go on the cruiser Tennessee, now at New York The cruiser Salem at Boston, also was ordered to Santo Domingo and will take about 9 mar ines from the Boston station.
 The task of the United States, un, der the Monroe Doctrine of uphold ing the constitutional government in Santo Domingo, has been complicat- ed by a quarrel between President Jiminez and Congress, which resulted in the executives impeachment al most simultaneously with the devel- opment of an armed revolution under General Arias. For time last week rebels were in possession the capi- tai. Santo Domingo City, but retired Monday when marines were landed by Admiral Caperton. This American force occupied the city and no i'm portant disturbances have been re- ported since.
 President Jiminez never has been tried on the impeachment charges. but an unofficial provisional success or had been elected by the chamber of deputies.

HUGHES LEADS IN
 OREGON PRIMARY
;ey Review Leased Wire }

PORTLAND, May 19.-Eearly re- turns from the primary election held by the Democratic. Republican and progressive parties in Oregon today is beyond doubt that parties had ex- pressed their preference for Presi- dential nominees as follows:
 emocratic-Woodrow Wilson.
 Republican-Chas.E E. Hughes.
 Progressives-T Roosevelt.
 President Wilson was nominated without opposition in his party. Al though there was no presidential candidates names on the Progressive ballot. Col. Roosevelt's name was written in almost without exception.
 Interest is centered in the presiden- tial contest in the Republican party. The overwhelming lead which Justice Hughes took from the very start over his opponents, Senator Albert B. Cum mins og Iowa. and former Senator Theo. E. Burton. of Ohio, both of whom had stumped the state. came as a surprise even to Hughes supporters.
 As an indication of the strength of Justice Hughes. the first SS precincts in Portland to send in partial returrs gave Hughes 431, Cummings 172. Burton 110. Reports from other paIts of the state indicated that Hughes would receive a majority in pro76r- tion to the Portland vote.

 The first news of Villanueva's new activities came from the ranch of Buck Poole, where ten horses we're carried of today. It was followed by news of raid on the ranch of Felipe Valdez. sixty miles from here. with the capture of more horses and sup plies.
 But Villanueva has not confined his depredations to the American side of the Rio Grande. as a Mexican rancher. Jose Rodriguez. complained to the authorities at Ojinaga today that nine mules and three horses had been taken from his place.
 This same band of thieves took part in the Gleen Springs said. ac- eording to all obtainable evidence. and it is feared here that Sorse stealing is the means adopted for getting new mounts for larger operations.

War Department Disaproint- ed with State Showing On Border; Numbers and the Equipment Are Both Shy,
DELAYS FUNSTONS
 PLANS FOR ARMY
Slow Mobilization and Skele- ton Companies is War De- partments Impeachment. Texas Responds Ably.
fax Review Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, May 19- General Funston's realignment of, the border patrol is being delayed. War Depart ment officials said today, by slow mob ilization of the Arizona and New Mex ico national guard and by the disap- pointing showing in numbers and e. quipment of so re of the guard com panies that have reported for service.
 Although ii has been ten days since President Wilson called out the Texas Arizona and New Mexico guardsmen for patrol duty along the border, their mobilization and assignment is far from complete.
 Texas Responds
 The Texas companies responded promptly, but in the other two states the call has not met with as quick a response as officials expected. In ad- dition so many companies in all three states have been found to be below their proper strength that the War Department now expects the total guardsmen provided will not be more than 3090 and probably few hundred less. When the cal. was issued it was depended on to add $500 men to the border patrol.
 So far General Funston has report ed only in a general way on the na- tional guard mobilization but full report is expected early next week. Officials hope that by that time the re-assignment of troops along the bor der will have been completed It is considered likely here that the re- alignment will include withdrawal to the American side of the expeditions under Colonel Sibley and Major Lang horne, which crossed in pursuit of the Big Bend raiders.
 Sibley May Withdraw
 Their mission is regarded as virtu ally accomplished, the bandits in that persed and the Americans captured at Boquillas rescued. A Carranza com mand moving from Saltillo also is ex- pected to do much toward relieving the Big Bend situation
 Killed In Mexico
 General Funston sent brief report on the killing of Sergeant Harry Fur man of the 23rd Infantry but gave no details beyond saying he was shot on the Mexican side of the border.
 Strike Is Mending
 The State Departments dispatches today from Mexico City indicated that the strike of railway employees that has paralyzed traffic in large section north of the capital might soon be adjusted. Resumption train service south from Saltillo, the dispatches said. was to be resumed today. Off ed arrival at the border of some of the American consuls ordered there for conference on the general situ- ation.

 SHIPS BILL
Republicans, Led by Mann,
 Invoke Unlimited Red Tape
 Down Great Measure of Ad- ministration.
(By Review Leased Wire,

WASHINGTON, May 19- Filibus- tering of Republican Leader Mann to- night prevented the Democrats from carrying out their plan to pass the ad- ministration shipping bill before ad- journment.
 Debate on the measure closed at four o'clock this afternoon, and three hours later it was ready for passage virtually as reported by the commit tee, in spite of persistent efforts to amend it. Representative Mann de manded teller votes on many of the hundred or more amendments offered by Republicans and when a final vote on the measure itself was about to be taken. he insisted that the formality of reading the engrossed bill be ob served As the bill had not been en- crossed there was nothing to do but adjourn. The vote probably will be reached early tomorrow afternoon.
 Early in the day while the House was in the committee of the whole. the Republicans succeeded in striking out the section providing for the pur- chase of ships by the government, but this was restored by the House itself The only result of the strict party vote by which the section was stricken out 106 to 90. was to give the Republicans an opportunity to cheer and laugh at the discontinue of the Democrats over the failure. of their forces to be on hand to vote. Majori- ty leaders immediately sent out hurry calls for members, and the section a. gain was voted on and was restored by a vote of 165 to 152.
 Less than fourth of the bill had been read when. by the special rule under which the measure was being considered, all debate was stopped at four o'clock Most of the day having been taken up by amendments offered by Republicans. Two important am endments probably will be offered to- morrow and roll calls demanded on them. One would fix the amount that the government shall invest in vessels at exactly s50,O00.000 instead of mot to exceed $50,000, ,000." and the other would make the primary object of the upbuilding of the naval auziliaries in stead of the merchant marine.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-Ambassa- dor Page at London cabled the State Department tonight that the sentence of Jerimiah C. Lynch, the naturalized American convicted of complicity in the Dublin uprising had not been con firmed but that in accordance with in struetions from Secretary Lansing the British government had been ask ed to suspend the infliction of any punishment pending an investigation.

 Early today the State Department received garbled code message from the ambassador transmitting report rom the American consul at Dublin. The report, dated yesterday and evi- dently forwarded before MT Page re- ceiveG Secretary Lansing's message, sai1 that Lynch had been tried by a court martial. An omission made the cablegram unintelligible. but apparent ly the consul was reporting that eith- CT execution or sentence was to take place at daybreak today.
 Ambassador Page will inquire into the case and upon his report will de pend any future steps in behalf of Lynch. The American government can only insist that no sentence be executed until Lynch has had fair trial.
