U. S. SAILORS RoUT REBELS
Americans From Gunboat Eagle Drive
Cubans From Altocedo-Mexi-
cans Aid Insurgents.

Havana, March 19.-United States
sailors from the gunboat Eagle landed
at Altocedo, in Oriente province, and
drove a group of insurgents from the
town. 1t was reported that many
Mexicans were in the group, which
numbered about 300 men. American
marines are believed to have evacuated
the port Of Santiago. They landed
when the rebel forces quit the town.
Since then Cuban government troops
have assumed control.
The presence with Cuban insurgents
of Mexicans caused much surprise and
speculation here. There are Mexican
colonies in some parts of Cuba, but
heretofore no activity of Mexicans,
skilled in revolutionary and destruc-
tive warfare in their own country, has
been reported to government officials
here.
Railroad bridges destroyed by the
rebels between Havana and Camaguay
have been restored. Passenger and
freight service will be resumed immedi-
ately.

SENATE KILLS PACT
TREATY WITH COLOMBIA WITH
DRAWN BY CHAIRMAN STONE.
Believed New Plan More Acceptable
to Republicans viii &. Offered
Next Session.

Washington, March 19.-The treaty
with Colombia, to pay $25,000,000 for
the partition of Panama was with
drawn from the senate on Friday on
motion of Chairman Stone of the for
eign relations committee.
Senator Stones action was taken to
foreshadow further diplomatic negotia-
tons with Colombia for a new treaty,
which would not be received with such
strong objections. An effort to frame
more acceptable treaty is expected
before the congress, which convenes in
special session April 10, has adj
journed.
Withdrawal of the treaty was expect
ed in view of the announcement that
President Wilson wished the treaty
which the United States might find it.
seld in Central America.
The attitude of the administration
in the withdrawal of the treaty was not
openly disclosed, but it was apparent
that such action would not have been
taken without a previous understand
ing.
Sudden withdrawal of the treaty
with Colombia and postponement until
the session of April 16 is explained by
developments disclosing an offer of
Colombia to reconsider certain prOvi-
sions as to condemnation of Roose-
velts course in taking Panama, also
to reduce amount of award and partic-
ularly to add provisions allowing ex-
ira Notifications on the coast of Co.
lombia by the United States and an
agreement not to allow any European
or Asiatic nation privileges of naval or
military base without the consent of
the United States.

MORE U. S. WARSHIPS
TEN GREAT BATTLESHIPS OR.
DERED TO BE BUILT.
Craft viii Cost the Government Over
100000, oo0-Record Order
for Nation.
selEvElAro LeAoEa

Washington, March 17.-Contracts
for what is believed to be the largest
single order for fighting craft ever
given by any nation were placed by
the navy department.
Private builders undertook to turn
out four great battle cruisers and six
scout cruisers, costing nearly $112,-
100000 for hulls and machinery alone.
and pledged themselves to keep 20 per
cent of their working forces on navy
construction.
In response to an appeal to their
patriotism by Secretary Daniels, the
major shipbuilders have agreed to ac-
cept 10 per cent net profit on the bat
tie cruisers, whose cost will represent
about S76O00,000 of the total sum in
volved in the contracts. A fifth bat
tie cruiser will be built at the Phila-
delphia navy yard.
The builders are besieged with Of
fers of merchant work, and are get
ting as high as 80 per cent profit on
these jobs, with more work in sight
than they can do. They have placed
their facilities at the disposal of the
government, making it unnecessary for
the president to consider employing
authority to commander plants.
Both classes of cruisers ordered are
new types to naval architecture, and
are designed for speed of 25 knots
an hour.
The scouts were awarded on bids
submitted, prices ranging from So
$4,000 to $5,996,OO0, and stipulated
time of delivery from 80 to 80 months.
Construction will be FASTENED to the
limit, however, the government footing
the bill for additional cost.
The battle cruisers, the fixed limit
of cost of which is $19,0OO,O0O per
ship, exclusive of speeding up. ex-
penSe, were ordered.
OF the authorized building program
there remain to be contracted for three
dreadnaughts, 3S subn arines, the 10
destroyers, and several auxiliary yes
sells. Bids will be opened early in
April on these craft, and at the same
time orders will be placed for more
than 100 coast patrol boats.

GOOD HABITS FIRST
Most important Requirement for
Mate, Say Students.
Women Are lnsistent Also on intel
lectual Ability While Men Demand
Physical Beauty as Impor-
tant Requisite.

What are your requirements of the
person whom you would marry?
That question was asked of the stu
dents in connection with the discussion
on convention" by Prof. L. L. Bernard
in his sociology class in the University
of Missouri, says the Kansas City Star
| Sixty-eight students, Al women and q
men. placed on the professors desk
anonymous statements in answer ia
| the question.
The tabulated opinions show the
women consider good moral habits as
the prime requisite. Nineteen women
make it the first requirement, six the
second requirement, eight the third re-
quirement, six the fourth requirement,
one the fifth requirement and one does
not mention it, evidently considering it
of no Importance.
Good social position is considered
most important by seven women, while
the average place this requirement In
fourth place.
Good income is held to be Of prime
Importance by five women, while seven
teen hold 1t to be of secondary and ten
of tertiary Importance.
Congeniality and good treatment is
placed among the first four requisites
by 81 women, three of whom make 1T
the first requirement.
One signifies her willingness to abide
with middle-aged man, while 13 place
youth as fifth in Importance.
One insists that good looks is the
first essential In a husband, while the
majority seem willing to waive this
quality after putting in requests for a
good income, congeniality and q good
social position.
Just as the women require good
moral habits as the prime essentials
so the men insist on good character
and 20 demand it as the first require
ment
While the women are more inSistent
for intellectual ability, the men base
their faith on physical beauty. Five
men make 1t a first requirement, 10
make it a second requirement, while
no one places it below the fourth place.
All except five of the men express an
opinion on congeniality but they do not
hold it as a high requirement and in
dicate their trust in character, youth
and beauty to include that quality.
The men are generally interested in
the training for home making, making
this requirement average fourth in i'm
portance. The men are decidedly in
terested in good heredity, while the
women make no mention of it.
Two women and two men desire
their mates to be religious. One man
yearns for mutual infatuation and
places it as third requirement in his
scheme of things for marital bliss. One
woman longs for sympathy and assigns
it in fifth place. One man insists on
sincerity and common sense while an
other requires musical talent in his
wife-to-be and third demands his
wife must be economical.
