Closing Days Of Congress
to Defeat Armed Neutrality
Bill,

New York, March "a resolution
advocating the appointment of a
Joint high commission to endeavor
to settle the questions at issue between
our country and Germany, was
adopted at a mass meeting here to-
night under the auspices of the
Emergency Peace federation. Anoth-
er resolution called upon President
Wilson to summon all the great
powers to discuss plans for organized
and continuous peaceful relations be-
tween nations" message was read
from William J. Bryan in which he
said he did not believe the govern
ment should arm vessels carrying mu-
nitions.
"If the question was submitted to the
American people" he said, IAN over
whelming majority would, in my judS-
ment, favor keeping Americans off
belligerent ships and would also ex-
Clude arms and ammunition from all
American and neutral ships carrying
passengers from the United States to
Europe"
Discussing the failure of the armed
neutrality bill to pass the senate, Mr.
Bryan said:
THE bill proposed by the president
aroused deep feeling on both sides
and those opposed to it felt justified
in employing every means at their
command to defeat the measure, just
as the opponents of the force bill
did some twenty-five years ago They
are responsible to their constituents,
and to them alone.
THE most important effect of the
filibuster will be to compel an extra
session of congress and that can hard
ly be regarded as great evil"

New York, March 9.--American
marines and bluejaCkets occupying
Santiago, recently the stronghold of
the 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 turned back after fleeing
the city and werc doing considerable
damage around the outskirts in a
movement which showed some signs
of developing a general attack.
Cuban government troops under
General Betancourt were reported
hurrying to Santiago to reinforce the
small garrison, however, and many of
ficials believed the rebels would stay
out of the city proper and avoid any
clash with Americans.
Although the loss of Santiago is re-
garded as marking the collapse of the
revolution, it is realized that a con-
tinuation of the guerrilla campaign in
outlying sections may make serious
trouble for the government command
ers. When the rebels departed they
left a notification that they would

they are reported to nave destroyed

SANTIAGO NOT TAKEN

Havana, March 9.-Santiago, the
revolutionist stronghold, has not YET
been taken by government forces. Al
though news dispatches from Wash

troops had entered Santiago, up to a
late hour tonight officials here were
without confirmation of the report
They expressed belief, however, that
the city soon would be taken.
Among the document captured with
Gen. Jose Miguel Gomez, leader of the
rebels, is one alleged to bear his sig
nature ordering the burning of sugar
mills and the destruction of cane

Destruction by the rebels last night
of sugar mill property at Palma So

said to have caused the Cuban execu-
