KEY WEST. Fla. Sept. 19.-1mbed- : ded in quicksand under 40 feet of water off Rebecea Shoals light house, divers today found the hulk of yes sel believed to be the Spanish pass enger liner Valbanera, which has been missing since the eastern portion of the Gulf of Mexico was swept by d hurricane ten days ago.
 The divers, employed by the Cuban consul here after the sunken wreck was discovered by a United States coast guard vessel reported that the Valbanera could be made out clearly, but no trace was found of the 300 pass engers and 150 members of the crew reported abroad the Spanish liner when she left Spain for Havana.
 The steamer found off the Rebecca Shoal light house, which is 40 miles from here, the divers said, appeared to be of about 5000 tons. The missing Valbanera was of S,291 tons net. Fur ther investigation however, is expected to clear beyond all doubt the identity of the wreck and if it is proven to be the Spanish liner, throw some light on the fate of the 450 persons aboard her.

REPUBLICANS SEE
 ENOUGH VOTES TO
 AMEND COVENANT

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-After the covenant of the league of na- tons, a part of the German peace treaty, had been read late today fn the senate, republican leaders claimed votes enough to pass, prob ably next week, an amendment which would give the United States equal voting power with Great Brit ain in the league assembly.
 While confident the amendment will be adopted, the republicans hold that it would not re- open the whole question of peace and force the re- turn of the pact to the peace con- ference at Paris as President Will son and democratic leaders have predicted.
 There will be no session of the senate tomorrow, but the fight will open Monday in earnest, with pros pect of vote on the British American amendment, proposed by Senator Johnson. republican of California, by the end of the week.
 Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, leader of the administration fight for ratification, was as steadfast as heretofore, however, in the belief that all amendments would be re- jected. Democrats made no at- tempt to disguise the feeling of eIa- ton that their cause was in good shape, citing the hurry call sent to Senator Johnson as evidence of doubt in the opposition camp.
