MAKES STATES BONE DRY
WHERE PROHIBITION IS Al.
READY IN EFFECT.
ALL AGREE ON POSTAL BILL
Would Bar Newspapers, Cards, Let

Adopted After Brief Debate by Vote
of IS to II in Senate.

Washington. = Prohibition took
step forward in both branches of Con.
81 ,ss.
In the Senate drastic amendments
to the postal appropriation bill were
agreed to which would make criminal
the importation of liquor into states
which prohibit its manufacture and
sale for beverage purposes, and which
would exclude liquor advertisements
from the mails in states which legis-
late against such advertising.
On the House side, the National
prohibition constitutional amendment
was favoraOly reported from the Ju-
dietary Committee with a prediction
by Chairman Webb that it would be
passed within week. Champions Of
prohibition greeted this announce
ment with enthusiasm, in spite Of
their realization that passage in the
House will end action on the amend
ment in so far as this session Of Con-
gress is concerned. There is no
thought Of action by the Senate before
March 4, when the Sixty-fourth Con-
gress dies.

preparation bill to make it crime to
ship liquor into prohibition states
was added by Senator Reed, of Mis-.
souri, to the Jones amendment bar.
ring newspapers or other publications
or letters and postal cards containing
liquor advertisements from the mails
in states which have laws against
such advertising. 1t was adopted aft.
er brief debate by vote of as to II
by the Senate sitting as committee Of
the whole. The Reed amendment,
which awaits final vote in the Sen
ate, is as follows:
Reed Amendment.
Whoever shall order purchase, or
cause Intoxicating liquors to be trans.
ported In interstate commerce exceDt
for scientific, sacramental, medicinal
or mechanical purposes into any
state or territory, the laws of which
state or territory prohibit the manu-
facture or sale therein Of matchmaking
liquors for beverage purposes, shall
be punished by fine Of not more
than $1,000, or imprisoned not more
than six months or both, and for any
subsequent offense, shall be imprison-
ed not more than one year."
The effect of this provision, If final
ly accepted by the Senate and agreed
to by the House, will be to make all
prohibition states bone dry" 1t will
operate against provisions in various
states permitting importation of limit
ed amounts Of liquor for individual
consumption.
Tie original Jones amendment to

vertisements from the mails In states
having anit-liquor advertising laws

ton.-Reports telling of the
spread Of the liberal revolt in Cuba
aroused such apprehension here that

warning to the people OF the Republic
mat the United States would not re-
gard as legal any Government set I'M
by violence. The message went to
Minister Gonzales at Havana and to
every American Consul to be circulat

Mr.. Lansing pointed out the re-
sponsibility of the United States in
connection with Cuba, and intimated
very clearly that revolution was not
to be tolerated.
Minister Gonzales reports of the
growth or the revolt were submitted
by the State Department to the Se,.
retries of War and Navy as promptly
as they were received. In neither of
the military departments was there
indication that any warlike measures
were being prepared in connection
with he situation, but because OF the
eXpt ance gainel in two previous in.
tervt ,tions, military operations could
DE inagurated in brief time without
much renewed study of plans.
Sale of Munitions.
Secretary Baker announced that
with the approval Of the President, a
deal had been closed for the sale OF
10000 army rifles and 100000 rounds
Of ammunition to the Cuban Govern
ment. Negotiations for the purchase
had been III progress for several
months. The President is authorized
by statute to approve the sale of arms
and ammunition to Cuba, whose sol
diers are the only ones in the world
other than Americans who carry the
United States Army Springfield rifle
Shipment of the guns and ammuni
ton will be fastened.
Official news from Cuba convinced
the Administration that the rebellion
already has assumed large proper
tons. Developments Of the move

arated points, and the Cuban Govern
