War clouds gathering over

The British government yester-

in Parliament of proceeding with

of $4,000 tons, capable of 90
knots, and carrying 13-inch guns
firing 80 miles.
Paris reported the British were

DOUBT SENATE
WILL ACCEPT
BONUS BILL
Rides Through House by
Big Majority in Revolt
Late Monday
OFFICE SUPPLY BILL
GOES TO CONFERENCE
BY ARTHUR r. DEGREVE
United Press Staff Correspondent

BY ARTHUR F. DEGREVE
United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Mar. 10 (UP)
The house revolted yesterday and
passed the S2,400,000,000 soldier
bonus bill, but party leaders later
subdued rebellious Democrats and
obtained an administration VIC
tory in the battle over veterans
benefits.
The bonus bill was approved,
295 to 1876, in the face of a GER
tain veto by President Roosevelt.
A total of 251 Democrats desert
ed to join with SO Republicans
and five Farmer-Labcrites to force
passage of the measure.
After the vote, the Democrats
in caucus adopted a motion to
send the Independent offices bill
back to conference with the sem
ate, where it was amended to add
$350,000,000 in veterans compen-
sation and federal salaries above
the amount approved by the
White House. Administration au-
thorities say the amendments
would wreck the Roosevelt econ
omy program and have indicated
that the president would veto the
measure in its present form.
The vote on the motion was
~ 10 "a, and served to bind the
majority. Sixty-seven of the IA
who opposed the measure asked
to be excused from the action of
the caucus because of previous
commitments. House conferees
must report back to the caucus,
before they can accept any
amendments by the senate.
The action of the caucus pre-
vents the independent offices bill
as it stood yesterday from being
brought before the house, and
opens the way for a compromise.
After the overwhelming vote on
the bonus measure, leaders feared
the rebellious members would &C
cept the senate amendments if
given a chance. 1t is possible, but
not probable, that Democrats who
refused yesterday to be bound by

THREE JAPANESE SAILORS ARE
RESCUED FROM CAPSIZED WAR
CRAFT; SEARCH REDOUBLED
Loss Of IS Officers and Men Recalls Similar Tragedy
in Japanese Navy in 1892 When los
Officers and Men Drowned

| SASEBO NAVAL BASE,
Japan, Wednesday. March ID.
(UP). = Navy officials issued
a communique at a. m. to-
day saying that it indicated at
least IS Of the 113 men aboard
the capsized torpedo boat To-
mozuru are alive.
Signals heard by the res
cuers indicated that eight are
alive in stern. three amidship
and four in the forward part
Of the hull.
SASERO, NAVAL BASE, JA-
PAN, March 10. - (UP). - The
miraculous" rescue of three
trapped sailors from the water
filled hull of the Japanese torpedo
boat Tomozuru. today spurred a
frenzied search Of the interior of
the vessel for further survivors of
one of the worst disasters in Jap
anese naval history.
Searchers hoped to find several
more of the crew of 116 officers
and men alive in one or more of
the water-tight compartments of
the secretly designed and power
fully armed boat.
The vessel capsized during ma
neuvers off this naval base, in
southwestern Japan. The base,
one of the major naval stations
in the empire. is on the western
side of the island of Khushiu, 80
miles outside the Port of Maya
saki.
Japanese naval authorities.
deeply disappointed and shocked
by the accident to this newest of
Japan's war vessels, last night had
abandoned hope of finding any of
the officers or crew alive.
When the destroyer Tatsuta
had taken the overturned torpedo
boat in tow there was no sign of
the offices or crew. all believed
to have been tossed into the sea
or caught below decks when the
small warship turned over.
The ship was of but 527 tons,
one of four second-class torpedo
boats built or being built under
the 1881 naval construction pro-
gram. 1t was but recently COM
pleted and placed in commission
for the current maneuvers.
The Tomozuru, or Tomotsuru,
as it is sometimes spelled in the
Anglocized version of the Japa-
nese characters, carries three s.
inch guns. Ordinarily, between
95 and 100 officers and men COM
prise the crew of torpedo boats
of similar tonnage, but the 116
men and officers aboard were be-
lieved to have included observers,
to study her performance in ma
neuvers.
The disaster was the second
major tragedy in the japanese
navy since December, 1882, when
the destroyer Swarabi capsized
off Formosa, with loss of 1O5
officers and men.
The accident yesterday &C.
Cured during early morning ma
neuvers outside the naval base.
Naval authorities announced
that a board of inquiry would be
named shortly to investigate the
cause of the incident. Initial un-
official reports were inclined to
attribute it to faulty design,
Heavy seas were running when
the accident occurred, tossing the
little warship about severely as
the "war games" got under way.
