The situation in Jalisco appears to

the federal forces had killed more than
100 rebels in the vicinity of Tepatltian'
after a similar engagement IN wnlcn,
the authorities announced, the rebels
had suffered 100 casualties.
Other Sections Disturbed.
While Jalisco and Durango seem to
he the two states where the revolt is
most widespread, other sections, IKE
Puehla and Tlaxcala, are witnessing
.onbats between revolutionists and
government forces.
Official circles, however, are optimls-
tic over the final outcome of the re,
beIIion. This feeling is increased by
the latest victories of the Federals IN
the states of Jalisco and Durango, ana
the fact that for several days one or
two rebel leaders have daily been re-

By the Associated Press.
A concerted move toward arbitra-
ton of the oil dispute with Mexico
was made today in the Senate.
A resolution favoring such an ad-
justment was introduced by Senator
Robinson of Arkansas, the Democratic
floor leader. who said it had the back
ing of Chairman Borah of the foreign
relations committee and Senator
Swanson of Virginia, the committee S
ranking Democrat.
The proposal was submitted after
the Mexican-Nicaraguan tangle had
been debated in both Senate and
House. and after the White House
had restated the Presidents attitude
toward both Mexico and Nicaragua.
In Mexico the President feels that the
whole question is whether American
holdings are to be contiscated, and in
Nicaragua he believes the American
Government has acted strictly in ac-
cord with the Monroe Doctrine.
Senator Robinson accompanied his
resolution by a statement. in which
he declared: THE resolution is con-

PRESIDENT SEEKS
SOLUTION IN TACNA
Expects Kellogg to Keep Up
Efforts Despite Peru's Re-
lection Proposal.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Coolidge expects Secretary
kellogg to continue his search for a
solution for the Tacna-Arica problem.
by use of his good Offices between
Chile and Peru, unless study of the
new Peruvian note reveals that every
hope of success has been exhausted.
The President has not as yet re-
ceived any detailed report upon the
Peruvian memorandum rejecting Mr..
Kellogg's proposal that the disputed
territory be ceded to Bolivia. No de-
cision as to the next move the Presi-
dent may make as arbitrator in the
matter will be reached until the Of
ficial text of the Peruvian note has
been given detailed examination.
Bolivia Had Accepted.
Bolivia had previously accepted the
Kellogg proposal and Chile had agreed
to it in principle.
Peru pointed out in her latest note
that since the plebiscite had not been
held. Tacna and africa continue to be
Peruvian" and asserted that she could
not accept the proposed cession OF the
provinces ito any one, whether by pur-
chase or by any other method, because
he who has been defending for more
than 40 years his rights over said ter
ritories cannot convert them into a
merchandise subject to a price, how
ever large this may be.
The Kellogg proposal complicates
the issue instead of simplifying 1t, the
note said. Peru noted, however, that
her rejection did not carry with 1t the
intention of obstructing any other
solutions"
Concessions Already Made.
Far from that" her note asserted,
Peru has accepted the partial or COM
plete internationalization of the prov
inces, has accepted their divisions Civ
ing Bolivia gratuitously an outlet to
the shore and there an inlet whose
conditions would show it to be con-
verted into a large, suitable and sale
port.
Finally, it is disposed to listen to
all suggestions for settlement, put
under the conditions that the towns
of Tacna and africa be returned to 1t,
the latter with its port and MORO.
The note dealt with each of Mr.. kel-
logg's proposed conditions and con-
cluded by saying that Peru could not
accent. even at the risk of running
counter to it's traditional policy of def
erence to the United States of Ameri-
ca, a solution which carries with 1t the
forsaking of it's citizens, which is what
it would amount to If they are left in
the state OF Subjugation and shame
in which they live today.

PRESIDENT FEARS
NAVAL. ARMS RACE
Restoration of 3-CruiSer Plan
Step Toward Competition,
He Believes.

President Coolidge looks upon the
action of the subcommittee of the Sen
ate in restoring in the naval appro
priation bill provision for the con
struction of three additional cruisers
as an unmistakable step toward com
petition in naval armament.
While discussing the subject today
the President said through his spokes
man that the only argument being ad
vanced by those advocating the ap
propriating of sufficient funds to star
immediate construction of these add
tional cruisers Is because some other
nations are actively engaged in add
ing cruisers to their navies.
Sees Building Race.
This argument, according to the
President is merely one calling upon
the United States to join in a race
for the building of large numbers of
warships. The President made it plain
that he will continue to insist upon
the carrying out of the policy of his
administration to break up efforts
looking toward competitive naval
armaments.
Without making any direct COM
ment upon the action of the Navy
subcommittee of the Senate, which
voted to restore the three-cruiser items
to the Navy appropriation bill, the
President indicated that he has not
changed his attitude in the matter,
and that he will continue in his posi-
ton. The President said. through his
spokesman, that the only question in
volved is whether this country wants
to continue its policy of doing away
with competition in naval armaments
or whether it wants to be one of the
competitors.
1t was indicated by the President
that there has been considerable mis-
conception on the part of the public
regarding the five-hve-three treaty
between this country, Great Britain
and Japan. His spokesman eX-
planned that this treaty is not being
violated and made it very plain that
if it was the President and the State
Department would not sit by quietly
and permit such a thing.
Number Not Limited.
1t is pointed out that this treaty
does not limit the number of cruisers,
although the size of this class of bat
tleship is limited to 10000 tons, and
some limitation is placed upon its
guns.
Besides considering the question
of entering the field of competitive
armaments, the President believes
the matter of expense is of more than
ordinary Importance. In this con-
nection he said, through his spokes-
man. that the Government has been
at a heavy expense building two air
plane carriers which are costing more
than 100000 900.
In another year, with these air
plane carriers completed and paid
for, the matter of building additional
cruisers could be more satisfactorily
handled. The President is therefore
hoping that Congress will wait until
next year before making appropria-
tionS for additional cruisers.
