OF CUBA SAFE, SAYS
 REPLY TOFERRARA
Rebel Leaders Offer to Gov ernment Is Not Accepted, as the Revolt Is We'll
 in Hand

Havana. March 2.-The independence of Cuba is not in peril and order soon will be established. according to the reply sent tonight by Wilfredo Fer nandez. member of the House of Rep Iesentatievs and a prominent conser- vative leader, to pr. Orestes Ferrara, representative in the United States of the liberal movement. Dr. Ferrara, in a cablegram sent last night to Fer nandez. offered the retirement of all military chiefs of the Cuban revoIu- tionaries from public life if President MenocaI would preserve independence and liberty" in Cuba and prevent American intervention into Cuban af- fairs
 Publication of Dr. Ferrara's cable gram here today created a sensation and the belief was expressed that the revolutionary leaders. seeing defeat near. wished to make the best ar engagements possible.
 The reply of Representative Fer nandez as cabled to pr. Ferrara reads:
 "The President judges that the movement is vanquished and that or der soon will be re-established. He does not see our independence in peril. Believe that you who fear the fall of the nation ought to give an example of sacrifice by obeying the govern ment legally constituted today.
 Military rebellion does not defend the liberties of Cubans. Coere is no liberty without a country and in Cuba there is no right of appeal by revo- lution. for revolution Is crime against the government. It is a crime directed against the fatherland.
 T continue your friend Therefore l desire you to proceed in such a man ner that the future may rectify the Judgments of those who, in this hour of passions, believes you to be an ele- ment of disturbance to the republic ;
 Pablo Dreher. German citizen and d friend of Jose Miguel Com ez, the rebel leader, was arrested today by detec- tives, charged with complicity in the revolt. It is reported that Jose Es- trada Palma, son of the first Cuban President. has enlisted in General Bet ancourt's forces operating in Oriente province.
 No reports were received today of any great fighting in the revolutionary districts.

Sena tor Lodge said he opposed any
 language in the bill restricting the power to be given the President because he believed that would be saying to the President that he should not commit an act of war.
 q feel very sure he continued, that 1 when the President is ready to make war he would call Congress in session, and the authority of the only constitutional body that can declare it. I feel that if we are not prepared to trust the Pres iden with bowers he has asked. we have
 no right to give him anything at all.'' Putting officers or men of the navy on board merchant ship, MT. Lodge l said, would change such a ship into a merchant auxiliary-a vessel of war. Interrupting to suggest that the Ian. guage of the Stone amendment would bs
 more of a protection than an embarrass ment to the President, Senator OGorman asked whether "the President has a right to commit an act of war before Congress declares war;"
 q do not think so, but it has been done" said Senator Lodge. Do you think it will be done in this irstance?" asked Senator O'Gorman. q certainly do not" said Senator Lodge.
 In a colloquy with Senator Cummins, Senator Lodge said he expected any armed merchant vessel would use it's guns if German submarine were | sighted, and he would be sorry if she did not use them"

a moments s notise,

The Senate debated far into the night the bill approved by the Presi- dent authorizing the arming of ships and the employment of "other instru- mentalities" to protect American rights and providing for bond issue of $100,000,000. Little opposition de- veloped, and republican and demo- cratic leaders predicted passage of the measure by an overwhelming ma jority.
 The House is expected to accept the bill as a substitute for it's own, which does not carry the phrase "other instru- mentalities' and prohibits the insurance of intuition ships by the federal war risk bureau.
 The cabinet met this afternoon and discussed every phase of the international crisis. There was no announcement after the meeting, but it was learned that the administration considered that there was nothing more to be done until Congress acted.
 About the only new development of inn portance before the cabinet was the communication that Germany would re- lease the American prisoners of the Yar- rowdale on March z. upon expiration of the quarantine established because a British sailor detained with the Ameri- cans had developed typhus fever
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-03-03

it would take from three to five days per ship, working under pressure, to equip vessels previously surveyed for the pur- pose as naval auxiliaries. A longer time would be required for others.
 Every important Atlantic coast navy yard is ready to Undertake work on ships in it's district It is expected that upon President Wilson's formal direc- tion that applications of American ships for guns be compiled with, the command ants of navy yards would be instructed specifically to equip each ship for which application is made.
 The work probably would be done at navy yards, in order that machinery for handling heavy weights quickly could be used Ships first scheduled to sail would be the first armed and navy officials ex- pect little delay in getting them ready for sea in this order.
 Under the Senate bill a full comple- ment of guns may be placed on board each ship. The big liners which would carry six six-inch guns each for war purposes probably would carry two or more for defense.
 Where a steamers decks are not strong enough to carry the weight of a gun, a new bracing would be necessary The question of providing gun crews would be taken up for each ship separately.
 If navy gunners. with good records as marksmen, are available they will be employed. If not, enlisted crews from the navy yards or reserve wars.nps will be assigned to man the guns.
 It is possible that machine guns would be placed aboard merchant ships as well as the big rifles. Reports from Great Britain say that machine gunfire against submarines has been found exceedingly effective.
 Serious damage from machine gunfire depends on chance to a large extent A periscope might be put out of commission or the skin of a Uboat punctured, if di- rect hits were scored. At a range of 200 to 300 yards, the favored distance for tor pedo attack, either a machine gun or a one-pounder is an effective weapon against submarines.

 Senator Husting interjected that the methods proposed in the bill leaves to Germany whether she will commit the act that leads to war" and Sem ator Walsh reminded Senator Reed that "all the power given the Presi- dent is to defend nnt attack
