ATTACK ON PRESIDENT.
THE president did not state the en-
tire truth" Sherman declared. HE de-
liberately omitted a portion of the
truth to convey to the house a false
impression. The president knows and
the senate knows, that. no filibuster
could avail in event of aus extra ses-
sion. Only in the closing hours of a
congress, where time is limited, can a
filibuster succeed. 1t can only last
from two to four weeks, the utmost.

amendment would in short time be
amended to a majority cloture amend

be tantamount to de facto state OF
war"
IF the president seeks to exercise
this power" Sherman said, Il stand
ready to declare war"
JUSTIFIED IN THIS CASE.
Sherman, however. reiterated his
approval of armed neutrality, declar-
ing 1t justified by the German mandate
of unrestricted submarine warware
and the kaiser mix ado Carranzs
plot" This latter. he said, was suf-
ficient evidence of hostile intent
whether 1t would have come to any
practical end or not"
He also took a fling at Republicans
who "are now heaping abuse upon the
heads of the wilful' after they them
selves had connived In the filibuster.'

himself from his long delay in pro-

United Press Staff Correspondents

Havana, March S.-The revolution
in Cuba is apparently ended. The
capture of ex-President Jose Miguel
Gomez and his entire staff, leaders Of
the insurrectos, was expected today to
these conspirators.
At the same time there were reports
current here that the remnants of the
rebels in Camaguey had been forced
to surrender.
Havana gave itself over to jubila-
ton today at the coup. All last night
the city rang with gayety, celebrating
the governments battle by which Go
mez was ENTHUSIASTICALLY stated
to have been one of the biggest in
Cuban history.
All the prisoners will be tried be-
fore proper tribunals.
The events fully confirm reports
which the government has, given out
and which the revolutionary commit
tee in New York has been branding as
untrue.
TO DISCREDIT UNITED STATES
1t is to be hoped that the American
public will show it's disapprobation
of the methods of Ferrara and his as
sociates, adopted to bring discredit, to
the United States.
The attitude of the government con-
tinues the same. Ample clemency has
been offered and will be extended to
all who show they are sincerely sorry
for their offense against the republic.
To a few ringleaders will be melted
out that punishment which, IN the
Judgment of the highest courts, may
be just
GAYETY SUCCEEDS GLOOM.
Gomez and most of the other i'm
portant prisoners were expected to ar
rive at Havana tonight. Their arrival
will be made the occasion for another
celebration. Last nights gayety was
unrestrained. A crowd massed the
city streets. cheering until late hour
in a typically Cuban demonstration.
The noise and crowds were in dis
tinct contrast to somber Havana
of the past few weeks. The capital
has had an air of tension unmistakable
recently. The revolt at first thun-
dered very close to the doors of Ha-
vana and its widespread character and
repeated rumors of German aid caused
the deepest apprehension among the
general public.
COLLAPSE IN SIGHT.
The general belief today was that
the revolutionary movement must now
| collapse utterly. Fighting against a
few scattering malcontents is expected
for a number of days, but the vast ma :
jority of the rebels are expected to
be disheartened by news of the capture
of their chief and to surrender, conf
IDENTIFY relying upon the government S
promise of amnesty to all save the
chief ring leaders of the uprising.
The revolt had It's inception in a
bitter political quarrel between Presl-
| dent Menocal, the Liberal leader, and
former President Gomez. Postponed
elections in Santa Clara province
famed the flame of the bitterness be-
| tween the two sparties, that election
| being the one on which hinged the re-
suit of the November presidential cleo
tons The poll in other provinces had
been inconclusive.
Before the election itself n formidable
uprising had been uncovered and the
! voting had to be conducted under mill
! tary rule. 1t resulted in a comfort
able majority for President Menocal
/ Then the flames of insurrection
broke out in full power.

terror of Mexico, can state these facts
on the highest authority:
Agents Of the German govern
nent in Mexico approached Fran
cisco Villa at his headquarters at
BustilIo's ranch about Feb. IL
with proposition to renew his
raids on the border in case OF
declaration of war between the
United States and Germany. Two
German agents reached the bandit
leader. The conference extended
over two days.
At first Villa demurred aainst
any attack on tho border in force
under any circumstances. At
length an agreement was reached
that in case Of war Villa would
send small bands, as unattached
bandits, to operate at widely sep
arated points along the interna-
tionaI line and to make sporadic
forays to harass American troops.
Under the terms Of agreement,
the German agents promised to
pay Villa 100000 pesos ($25o,ooo)
in gold at once to seal the COM
pact.
DEMANDED ADVANCE PAYMENT
He refused to enter into the plot un-
til the first payment was handed over
They agreed to pay a large amount
each month thereafter in case of war
to enable Villa to pay his men, secure
ammunition and build up his shatter-
ed forces for a campaign.
MOVEMENTS OF SECRET AGENTS
After orders from Foreign Secretary
Zimmerman reached Mexico City for
an attempt to arrange an alliance with
Mexico and Japan the Villa scheme
was one Of the first moves.
One secret agent was sent north
from the capital TO San Luis Potosi
where he met another. From Parral
both Travelled by horseback to Bustil
los ranch, about 40 miles west of Chi
huahua City. At this point Villa was
making his headquarters at that time
PRESSURE ON CARRANZA.
The Villa plan was to be used chief
ly in the event of failure to induce
Carranza to enter an intrigue against
the United States and as possible
means of bringing pressure TO bear on
Carranza- 1t was hoped to involve the
de facto overnment and the United
States in new, seriouh complications
making the retention Of a large part
of the army along the border neces-
sary.
That friction between Carranza anC
the United States would tend to weak
en- the de facto power was pointed ou
to Villa by the German agents.
GERMANS BEHIND PEACE NOTE
Already the German cabal in the
Mexican capital had set active under
ground influences to work upon the
first chief and his advisers to induce
them to consent to an alliance.
The famous note sent by Carranza t.
the neutral powers asking them u
unite in refusing to furnish supplies tt
belligerent countries was engineered
by the German propagandists.
1t was the original intention to LEAD
the first chief to order the oil field!
Of Tampico to be closed to export.
This was later modified to the form
in which it was sent, because most o
the fields are owned by English com
panies and a large amount of the OF
is used by tn" English fleets, and sucl
action, therefore, would have brough
complications between England an,
Mexico.
Stringent military censorship at al
the cable and telegraph offices in Mex
leo prevents the sending of any dis
patch rot approved by the govern
ment.

DISPUTE OF HOUSES?
The senate and house did not agree
as to the phraseology of the proposed
bill. The senate wanted to include
other Observation-Disclosures" which the
house thought too vague a description
of the power conferred. The house
also expected from insuring mer-
chantmen carrying arms and ammuni-
ton and a minority of the house COM
mittee favored inserting this excep-
ton in the paragraph authorizing the
arming of ships.
l am heartily in sympathy with
the house in Withholding insur-
ance from ships carrying arms
and ammunition and am also In
sympathy with the minority OF
the committee in the belief that
the exception should be extended
to the arming of the committee
III peliel lHdL inc exception
should be extended to the arming
of ships as well. The bill in both
senate and house provided for pro-
lection of Americans only when
| they were lawfully on ships and it
is for congress to say what is
lawful.
SHOULD NOT CARRY AMERICANS.
In my opinion, law should be en-
acted Withholding clearance from any
belligerent ships carrying American
passengers to Europe. American pa
pers Of the twenty fourth Of last
month contained the following dis
patch from Halifax. n. S.:
OCEAN BARRED TO WOMEN.

Der of women and children who
arrived here last night from the
United States on steamer for
Europe were taken off here today
by government authorities under
a regulation which provides that
women and children may not sail
from a British port for England at
present.
Three American women aboard
the liner which arrived in port
last night, were permitted to con-
! tinue the voyage. Clearance pa
pers were refused until % Canad-
ian women and children had been
removed. They were taken
ashore in tugs"
If Great Britain will not allow Brit
ish women and children to sail on a
British ship bound for England, why
should the United States allow Amer
lean women and children. or even
American men, to sail on any belliger-
ent ships going into the danger zone"

Lloyd George Faces First
Bitter Opposition of Re
gime Because of His Att
tude on Irish Question.
1T WILL NOT AFFECT
WAR ON GERMANY
In Other Respects National
lists Are Expected to Put
Sand in the Ministerial
Machinery to Compel Call
ing of a General Election.

London, March S.-For
the first time since he as
sumed the premiership,
Lloyd George today faced a
bitter minority of opposition
in the house of commons.
Exactly how far that minor
ity will go in its opposition
was expected to be decided
today.
The division, long expect
ed, comes over the Irish
home rule question.
Yesterdays debate in the house Of
commons was the most bitter in
months.
Il resulted in formal withdrawal
from the sitting of the Irish Ma
tionalists as a protest against the
form of settlement of the perplex-
ing question suggested by the pre-
nnier-that homo rule could be had
by any part Of Ireland desiring il,
but that coercion would not be
employed to force listers aequi-
escenoe.
The Irish Nationallsts were to meet
today In conference. The great st in
terest attached to their decision as to
a future policy.
WILL THEY WITHDRAWN
Speculation on what the party mem
bers would vote ranged from predic
lions that they would formally with
draw from the house, to guesscs that
they would continue in commons. but
adopt a policy of active opposition to
Premier Lloyd George in an attempt
to force a general election.
Several London newspapers com
menting on the situation which tho
premier now faces in the Irish ques-
ton. deplored his statement of gov
eminent policy yesterday as one cal
culated to arouse opposition. and at
tackled John Redmond, Irish leader, for
his attitude.
POSSIBLE COURSE.
The Morning Post suggests the Ma
tionalists are henceforth in definite
hostility to the government, though
presumably they will do nothing to in
terfere with the prosecution of the
war, they will otherwise put as much
sand in the parliamentary and minis
terial machine as possible"
The Daily Telegraph predicted the
Redmond adherents will go into ac-
tive opposition to the government and
seek to make IL untena BILE with a view
of bringing about a general election"

STONE PLEDGES SUPPORT.
Senator Stone pledged his support
to the amendment although he ex-
planned that he realized 1t is to be used
for the particular purpose of passing
the armed neutrality bill to which
am unalterably opposed"
Stone favored Il majority vote fea-
ture of the amendment.
Stone, after inquiring as to the par
liamentary situation regarding the
proposed cloture rule, said:
II wish merely to say, Mr.. President
that l am entirely in sympathy and
heartily in accord with the adoption
of that rule. Though its form may not
be as ! would have written 1t, 1t does
authorize the senate to bring discus
sion to a close whenever two-thirds OF
the senate voting SO concludes.
Il doubt whether that will be as ef-
fective as it should be. 1t would serve
the purpose in cases where two-thirds
resolved to close debate, but where the
senate is divided as it is now. l do not
believe II will be sufficient to secure
very important legislation with very
much facility"
