WHOLE QUESTION
ON POSTAL RATES
IS RE0PENED D
Attempt by Smoot and Bryan
to Reduce Charges on Let
ters to Cent any Increase
Cost of Newspapers Beaten

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE whole
subject of increased second class mail
rates and one cent drop letter postage
in cities and towns and on rural
routes was reopened today in the SEN
ate. Amendments containing these
provisions had been ruled out of the
postoffice appropriation bill in com
mittee of the whole several days ago
on point of order.
When the bill passed from the COM
mittee of the whole to the senate late
today, with many senators absent,
Senator Smoot re-offered the amend
ment to reduce postage on drop let
ters to one cent an ounce. AS this
would greatly decrease the postal rev.
enues Senator Bryan, acting for the
postoffice committee, asked the Utah
senator to couple with it the amend
ment to advance the rate on newspa-
pers and magazines to a cent and a
half pound for the next year and
two cents the following year, This
was done and the amendment was
agreed to without a roll call, escaping
attention of many senators who oppos-
ed the proposition.
News of the development brought
members from cloak and committee
rooms in a storm of disapproval
Charges of snap judgment and unfair
tactics were made until Senator Smoot
agreed to move for reconsideration
Then followed plea by Senator
Bryan to vote the motion down unless
agreement could be reached that no
point of order against the amend
ments should be made, so that the
proposals might be considered on
their merits Several attempts to get
unanimous consent for such a course
failed, and the motion to reconsider
finally prevailed, 80 to 26.
Final action on amendments includ
ing a section added today to bar pub
lications with liquor advertising from
prohibition territory and to prohibit
importation of liquor into such terri
tory, will pave the way for passage
of the appropriation bill which has
been under debate for week.

CUBAN INSURRE1(TION
SEEMS LESS SERIOUS

Washington, Feb. 15.-Failure to
receive from Cuba today reports
showing marked growth in the liberal
rebellion caused administration offic-
ials to regard the situation there with
less apprehension. Minister Gonzales
reports confirm earlier unofficial dis
patches telling of the dispersal of
various rebel bands. They told how
ever, of the occupation of Santiago
by General Fernandez, commanding
more than regiment of regular
troops who joined him in revolt
Satisfaction was displayed at the
state department over information
that so far the rebels have destroyed
no property. 1t became evident today
that the United States will make no
move in Cuban affairs until they are
more sharply defined by develop
ments.
