Mexico City, Jan. 17.--(By The. A. P) Open ttfeats of a bolt fro mthe Pan. American Federation of Labor conference by the Spanish-speakine delegates came today at the conclusic- f storm morn ing session. the pos - lcfection hing ing upon the delay Of :,...nuel Gompers in directing a telegram % President Wilson concerning the American occupation of Santo Domingo.
 . At the outset of the mornings session Nr. Gompers wGs asked by the Santo Domingan delegation to answer a Gues- tion whether telegram protesting against American occupation and de inand;ng an iHmed diate evacuation of the island had been sent in accordance with the resolution approved by the labor congress last Friday. MT. Gompers' re- ply that he desired to modify the text of the conventions telegram. inasmuch as the American government already had declared itself in favor of evacuation, started q heated argument in which the J.atIn-Americrn policy of the United States was bitterly criticised by the De- m;rican, Salvadorean and Mexican dele gates.
 Senor Solana of Salvador openly de clared that his delegation would abandon the congress unless MT. Gompers imme- d!ately sent the telegram. The Domini- can and Colombian deleFations asserted after the -tnccting adjourned that they would act likewise.
 Although the trouble had It's origin with the technical refusal of Mir. Comp CTS to abide in detail by the resolution passed unanimously by the congress. it is said behind 1t Hes an effort by the SnaniSh-sresk!nG delegates 10 test their strength against the American deIega. tion. which doubtless will be supported by the Porto Rican representatives.

It states that the pubucaion of the tes- timony of one witness before the inves.i- gaing. commission resulted in visit to his home by armed men, who not finding the witness. proceeded to damage the fur niture.

Washington. Jan. 17-Congress voted today to limit the size of the regular army to 175.Oe9 enlisted men.
 - The senate by a vote of I1 to g set aside its decision of last week to re- duce the, army to 10000 men and then without a record vote. adopted the orig inal joint resolution. of Senator New, re- publican, Indiana, directing the secre- tary Of war to stop recruiting until the army is cut to 175.ooO men.
 The house ten minutes later adopted a joint resolution sponsored by Chairman Kahn Of Its military aairs committee also directing the secretary of war to | cease eniistrnents until there are not more than 175,000 enlisted men in the regular establishment. The house vote was 2s5 to f.
 The resolutions adopted by the two houses are almost Identical in their pro- visions, each providing that the 175,oos limit shall not prevent the re-enlistment of men who have served one or more en- listTlent in military service. The lan- guage Of the two measures, however. dif- fers somewhat and either the senate or house will send its resolution to confer ence for encouragement. Action by the joint conference committee of the two houses Is expected to be taken speedily and the resultant measure sent to the
 
 Ire action of the two houses was taken against the recommendations of war de- partoaent heads and General Pershing. Secretary Baker h appearing before the senate military affairs committee advised ] against an army of less tran 250,o0o men after the present necessity of economy had been relieved" General Pershing told | the same committee that an army of 2o0.ooo men constituted safety margin ! The vote In the senate showed thai several senators who last week went or 1 record as favoring an army of 15o.oot 1 had changed about. placing their sup 1 port behind the 175.000 figure. No reasoI
 for the change was announced. but som,
 senators said privately that they believed | President Wilson would sign a rcsolu ! ton pla cling the future army at 175,6ot
 men but would not approve a smalle | number
 There was no party division in tn, 1 serate On the question and the fipa 1 votes were taken after an all-day battl
 over the question of army size. This de
 bate was enliyened by a clash betweel
