Special to Inc Norld.
OKLAHOMA CITY, March AT
torneys for DR.. Willard Carver. chiro-
practor, imprisoned in the Oklahoma
county Jail by the senate of the Okla
homa legislature for alleged contempt
of that body, applied today to the
criminal court of appeals for a writ
OF habeas corpus for the release Of
Carver.
The high court declined to issue the
writ because the case had not been
brought before the lower court, and
because the application as presented

facts. The attorneys then applied for
the writ in the district court and were
refused This action perfects the
proceeding on it's way back to the
high court which will probably be

The president signed the proclamh-
ton calling the extra session of con-
grcss and authorized the publication
Of the explanatory statement with
Secretary Tumulty standing at his
bedside. Severe cold has kept him
from seeing callers for three days
and he was put to bed by his physi-
clan yesterday.
In deciding that he has power to
arm merchantmen the president took
the position that an old statute passed
in 1919, cited in the senate debate as
prohibiting such n step without con
gressional action, has no application
to the present situation. lie is sat
isfied that the nation stands behind
him and accepts the overwhelming
vote in the house on the armed neu-
trality bill and the kuown opinion Of
a large majority of The senate as proof
of the attitude Of congress.
Money on Hand.
Altho the bill which failed OF pas
sage in the senate provided for a bond
issue of $100,000,000 to pay the OK
penses Of armed neutrality, the gov
crnment has sufficient money avail
able for its Immediate purposes. Con-

when the extra session convcncs.
Under n bill passed during the last
days Of tho last congress the funds at

bureau TO insure American ships was
increased to S15,000,00O.
Armed neutrality is expected to re-
move the practical blockade of Amer
lean ports and place the issue of
eventual war squarely upon Germany.
An attack upon an armed American
ship will precipitatc a fight If the
ship gets sight Of the submarine and
an unwarrauted attack would be re-
garded by the United States as an
act Of war.
Germany and Austria both have de-
clared armed merchantmen war ves-
sells. These declarations were based
largely however, upon the charge
that the British armed ships used
their armament extensively and 1t re-
mains to bee seen whether Germany
will so class and treat American crafts
with defensive arms.
Gcrmany's Position
The whole of German press COM
ment and unofficial utterancos since
the question was raised in this coun-
try has indicated the conviction that
any armed vessel should be coasd-
cred hostile and sunk in the same way
as belligerent war vessel. There
has been no official expression on the
subject.
Germany's exact policy toward
American vessels sailing thru the war
zone since its proclamation February
has not been quite clear, owing 10
the fact that less than u dozen such
voyages have been made and it is pos
sible that ali the vessels that escaped
succeeded in avoiding the submarines
entirely. II has been suggested that
Germany probably issued instructions
to her commanders not to sink Ameri-
can ships without every precaution
for those aboard, as a last hope of
keeping America out Of the war. The
ruthless destruction of passenger lin
ers like the California and the La
coma, however, is felt here to render
this belief improbable.

AMERICAN MARINES
IN CUBA THREATENED
Revolutionists May Attack
Bluejackets at Santiago;
Rebellion Is Crushed.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-Ameri-
can marines and bluejackets occupy
ing Santiago, recently the stronghold
OF cuban reVolutiOnists, appear from
latest navy department dispatches to
be facing the possibility of an attack
by the rebel bands waging guerrilla
warfare in the city's suburbs.
The dispatches, apparently several
hours behind developments, said the
rebels had returned back after fleeing
from the city and were doing consid-
cradle skirnishing around the out
skirts in a movement which showed
some signs of developing a general
attack.
RcinfOrccmcnts on Way.
A body of Cuban government troops
under Colonel Betancourt was re-
ported on its way to Santiago to rein
force the small government garrison,
however. and many officials believed
the rebels would stay out OF the city
proper and avoid any clash with the
Americans. IL was the word that the
marines and bluejackets had come
ashore and that Colonel Betancourt
was marching up from Havana, ac-
cording to the navy's advices, which
convinced the rebel leaders that tho
city might become a trap and precipi-
tated their flight.
May Make Trouble.
Altho the loss of Santiago is re-
garded here as marking the collapse
of the revolution, IL is realized that a
continuation 'of the guerrilla cam
paign in outlying sections may make
serious trouble for the government
commanders. When the rebels fled
they left notification that they would
continue to refuse allegiance to the
Menocal administration and already
they are reported to have destroyed
several bridges and wrought great
havoc in the cane fields of the San
tiago district
The heaviest fighting around San
tiago developed between rebels and
government troops at Palma Soriano,
the navy advices said, and still was
in progress today.
The marines and blue jackets landed
from the cruiser Olympia, the mine
layer San Francisco and the gunboat
Petrol, to protect American interests,
numbered about fivc hundred. The
garrison under Governor Munoz at
Santiago consits of only a handful of
men and should the rebels attack be-
fore the arrival Of Colonel Betancourt
the Americans probably would bear
the brunt of the defense.
