ASQUITH FAVORS IRISH
CASINET, NECESSARY
LONDON, May 19.—Premier
Asquith returns here today. He
says that conditions in Ireland are
t not as serious as he had expected.
He favors the immediate formation
of an Irish cabinet with strictly cir
cumscribed powers which would

is more an urgent necesity now
than ever, and is inclined to doubt
the wisdom of postponing its en
forcement as had been agreed upon.

PEACE RUMORS PERSIST
IN DIPLOMATIC CORPS
I
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 1J.—
Peace rumors persist throughout
the entire diplomatic corpi and
even in official circles it is admitted
that some peace reports which have
been privately received possess an
air of accuracy. But it is quite cer
tain that not one of the belligerents
have taken any action in any official
manner looking towards that con
summation devoutly to be wished.
The administration is , feeling
much more at ease owing to the
glowing returns from various sour
ces of revenue. Revenues exceed
all expectations and although the
Increased expenditure this year will
transcend anything heretofore
known, mainly on account of the
vast preparedness appropriations
they will only exceed exponscs bj
the sum of one hundred and thirty*
five millions which will be easily
arranged.
It is stated that the chief notable
Increase will be from Income tax
and war taxes, especially the form
er which since the Supreme Court
decision of such a sweeping nature
prevents any evasion and depends
entirely upon the proper perform
ance of collectors duties.
It Is announced today that the
Philliplne government has bought
outright the Manila Railroad Com
pany operating upon the Island of
Luzon.
Confidential advices from Ger
many state that that nation consid
ers the submarine con'roversy
closed. .
BILL PASSES AND
WAITS WILSON SIGNATURE
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 20.
The Army Bill as approved by '.he
conference committee has been now
passed by both houses and was
algned by Speaker Clark on Satur
day night.
It is Intimated that the President
will sign the bill on Monday. The
bill gives a substantial increase in
the regular army and provides for
a federal militia.
In addition, the establishment of
a government nitrate plant is re
garded in many quarters as one of
the most Important features of the
bill.
It is not believed that there will
be as much trouble over the pass
age of the Navy Bill as over the
Army Bill. Kltchin declares bis ln

tontion of approving the navy bill
and supporting It, and opposition
will therefore be of small conse
quence.
The huge naval program is not
accompanied by any government
establishment appropriation, and
they seem to have abandoned the
Idea of an armor plate plant.
On this score some opposition
may develop, but it is almost selt
evident that the government has
won over a great majority to Its
preparationist plans.
ALLIES NOT ADVANCING
IN BALKANS, REPORT
BERLIN, May 19.—For some
reason the Allies In the Balkans did
not follow up their heavy bombard
ment along the Bulgar front with
any sort of an offensive.
For the past two days they have
kept up a desultory bombardment
but not near the Intensity that they
had reached before.
The Greeks say that the attempt
ed offensive in the Vargar region
was so weak as to be evidently a
feint. They were all easily repulsed
by the Bulgars.

death penalty.
WANT LANSING ORDER
AMERICAN SUPERVISION
PANAMA, May 20.—Uncle Sara
is called upon to function in a novel
manner in the republic of Panama.
Today Lansing was wired by the
conservative party, now actually in
power in Panama and reactionary
in the extreme, that it would be im
possible to hold fair elections with
out American supervision.
As the radicals have been longin’
to oust the conservative element
and will unquestionably do so by a
majority vote it the elections aro
undisturbed, it is likely that tho
conservatives want American inter
ference to prevent any change ot
government at this time.
Lansing is considering with Wil
son what action will he taken.
ROOSEVELT RAPS FORO
IN DETROIT ADDRESS
DETROIT May 20.—Theodore
Roosevelt a republican presidential
possibility in a preparedness speech
here today took occasion to rap
Henry Ford, the local auto Kin;
for his pacificist policies.
It must have been a surprise to
the Colonel to have popular senti
I ment for once not very enthusiastic,

j less silence. Roosevelt was given
j a fine reception, but it is apparent
! that preparedness is not gaining
many converts in this city beyond
what it now has.
Ford was bitterly arruigned by
Roosevelt.

HEARST VAQUEROS KILL
MANY CATTLE THIEVES
NAMAQUIPA, May 20.—Twenty
five Vaqueros from the Hearst ranch
overtook cattle thieves after a five
day chase, killing sixteen and tak
ing six prisoners near Madera.
MEXICO CITY, May 20.—The at
tack of the Hearst employees upon
Mexicans accused of cattle thelvlng
is greatly arousing the bitterness of
the government.
MARATHON, May 20.—The be
i
lief is now growing that both Colo
nel Sibley and Major Langhorne
with their punitive forces will be
soon withdrawn from Mexico.
WASHINGTON, D. C„ May 20.—
The Mexican crisis is now believed
to bo over. The presence of Persh
ing with his punitive expedition in
Mexican soil is always an exciting
element of dissatisfaction and it is
hard to declare with any probability
that peace will be secure between
Mexico and the Unittd States while
the Americans are there.
This fact is freely recognized and
two parties, interventionists and
non-interventionists, are exerting
themselves now to have him re
moved or kept tfcero respectively.
The state department reports
that the final action will much de
pend upon the stand taken by Mex
icans themselves with regard to tho
bandits.

LONDON, May 19.—Battleships
bombarded the fortified town of Ei
Arish bordoring Egypt.
BERLIN, May 20.—It is believed
that it may be necessary for the
central powers to get together upon
a uniform system of food distribu
tion. An inquiry into the quantity
of Btocks available throughout Ger
many and Austria-Hungary in all
necessaries shows that there is an
abundance, but that the system ofi
distribution is so defective that
some have an excess while othera
get none at all. In somo articles
Austria has more than enough
while in Germany is Insufficient and
vice versa. With both countries
sharing alike and providing for
a uniform distribution among all
classes through the government, It
is declared that there will be no
need for any one going short or
any ono suffering in tho slightest
degree.
