The administration revenue meas.

senate in the form in which it had
originally passed the house. The bill

nature. zis-, '
The refining in bond" amendment,
as prepared by the senate finance com
mittee, was not offered to the senate,
and this provision, therefore, Is dead
for the present at least. The reasons
for this action are given. In the follow
ing Telegram from our Washington
correspondent, February. %, 1917:
ssWhen the revenue bill reached the
voting stage in the senate tonight the
purpose Of the Democratic managers
not tosperinit any amendment to the
measure became evident. They even
failed to offer the amendments pre-
pared by the finance COMMITTEES, and
as the provision authorizing the deSlg-
nation OF sugar Fefineries as bonded
warehouses was one OF these, 1t went
by the boards with the others, The
change in program was caused by the
conviction that If the bill should be so
changed as to send it to conference,
| its ultimate success would be endan-
gered, It was therefore decided to re-
sist all amendments There is every
| reason to believe that the sugar
| amendment would have been retained
but for this change of tactics.

C0nfiscation of the Vessels
Not Contemplated at

Washington, April 6.-seizures
Of German merchant ships in Amer
lean ports, according TO official
statement today, are measures OF
safety for the ships themselves and
adjoining property. The crews
aboard are regarded as German re-
servists.
The further question Of what is
to be done with the fleet now
comes up for consideration. Two
courses, II was said, are open to
the government. The ships may be
impressed Into service and paid for
at the close Of the war, or they
may be oonfiseated altogether
without violating the terms Of the
Prussian- American treaty Of 1928.
Many. officials oppose the latter
course unless II should be decided
to take Il upon the principle OF
taking q ship for every American
ship destroyed illegally by q sub
marine.
The first step now, At any rate,
probably will be to repair the dam

ships by their crews on orders Of

ASKS CUBA To
DECLARE WAR
President Menocal Follows the
Example of President
Wilson.

Havana, April 6.--President Menocal
this afternoon sent a message to con-
gress asking that body to declare that
a state of war exists between Cuba and
Germany.
The presidents message starts by
reviewing the sending by Germany of
her notice of unrestricted submarine
warfare. Referring to Cuba's reply TO
the German note, President Menocal
says:
"In replying to the terms of the
alarming note the department Of state
clearly signified the imminence of a
definite rupture IL the imperial Ger
man government persisted in its new
plan of submarine war. emphasizing
our stand in accordance TO the senti-
inert Of all civilized nations"

Lured into a narrow passage

the rear of Henry Donati's Italian
boarding house, "a South Arizona

sibly a Finlander, was killed by
blows with an axe at an early hour
this morning. The body was found
a few hours later by Nandi Pierri,
cook at the boarding house, who
reported it to the police at $50
a. m. The case presents many
puzzling features with which the
police are graphing with little
hope of success today. Robbery,
according to police theory, was the
motive for the crime.
1t was when Pierri went to the coal
shed. just outside OF the kitchen door,
for coal to start the ire that he
stumbled over the body. The axe with
which the unknown's skull Was crushed

across the body. as II he had been

zona. II lay In a crumpled heap in
the water and mud and the head was
covered by blood which flowed from
