SEEKS TO ACQUIRE Til- ENTIRE ISTHMUS Revolution Stfsr On In Cnlnmhlii De termines Mc urn Kim us In MnkliiK Move Admiral Kuntr. (imiriU American Interests. WASHINGTON, April 11. Word was re- ' eclved at tho Navy department today of the arrival of Admlrnl Kautz's flagship, tho Philadelphia, nt San Juan del Sur, Costti Rica, whero It was ordered from San Fran cisco for tho protection of American Inter ests, said to bo endangered by political tip risings In Nicaragua and Costa Rica. A revolutionary expedition, under com mand of General Ilcrrarra, Issued from Nicaragua, sailed down tho western coast of Costa Rica and landed nt David, a point on tho Pacific sldo of tho BtHp of Colombian territory, which forms tho Isthmus of Panama. Both Senor Cnldon, tho Colombian minister, and Senor Calvo, the Costa Rlcnn minister, agree upon tho fact that the move ment was not mado cs n means of attack ing Costa Rica on tho south, as was as sumed, but rather that tho Invasion Is directed against Colombia. Tho fact that tho Invading band tailed down to David In o boat loaned by the gov ernment of Nicaragua Is regarded ns signifi cant, particularly as the boat was returned to that government, after the landing of tho expedition. Senor Caldon has heard nothing of the Invaders slnco their appearaneo on Colom bian soil, but believes that they contomplato tho acquirement of tho entire Isthmus. General ilcrrarra, tho leader of the In vading force, Senor Caldon says, was for merly a musician In one of Colombia's mili tary bands, who left that country for Vene zuela and afterward went to Nicaragua, whero his rlso In military affairs evidently has been very rapid. The fact that a revolution Is now engag ing the attention of the Colombian govern ment probably decided the Nlcnraguans In acting nt the present time.

Tho speaker ruled that as the previous question had been ordered on tho rule, Richardson's motion was not In order. "Vote! Vote!" enmo from many quarters nnd tbo ppeaker beat n lively tattoo to secure order, while tho vote was taken. Tho viva voco vols was indecisive nnd to savo tlmo n yen and nay vote was taken on the adoption of tho rule. Tho voting was followed with Intense In terest. The "whips," Long and Underwood, hovered about tho desk, seeing that every posslblo voto wao recorded. Test Vote in Ileitihllcnti Tho nnndunccment of the adoption, of tho rule ayes, 15S; noes, 142 (present and not voting, 11 was greeted with salves of np plauso on tho republican side. The ma jority was n general surprise. It was re garded as a test vote. It was decided that tho tlmo remaining, three nnd a half hours, should bo equally divided between tho two sides, Payno nnd Richardson to control tho tlmo on their respective sldco. Payne yielded to Watson of Indiana, who opened tho debate. McCnll of Massachusetts said that tho pro posal to tax the products of Porto Rico had aroused Indignation everywhere. It had transformed tho whole country Into a Dos toti tea party (democratic applause). Hopkins of Illinois acscrtcd that tho bill when enacted Into law would be far moro advuutngcous to tho people of Porto Rico than tho United Stntea laws tn force In New Mexico, Arizona cr any territory of the United States. No money was taken from tho treasury of tho United States for build ing school houses or reads In nny of the territories. In Aeeord with Mile' Printline, Tho Internal revenue laws of the United Stntes wcro In full force In the territories. Ho claimed that the bill was In strict ac cord with tho humane promises mndo by General Miles. Richardson concluded the debate on his sldo. He aroused great enthusiasm among tho democrats, , Dolllvcr of Iowa followed. In nil generos ity and charity, ho said, ho conceded tho right of every man to hold his own opinion. Much had been mado of the fact that changes had been mado In the opinions of men on the floor and In tho executive branches of tho government and tho final eloquence on tho other side, he said, had been tho reading of tho opinion of a "law clerk who thought ho could overrulo tho creat lawyer who pre sides over tho War department." Dolllvcr said ho would prefer the opinion of lawyers Ilko McCall or Llttleilold to the opinion of a law clerk. Proceeding, ho asked Richardson polntetlly whether ho would nccept the opinion of General Davis. Which opinion?" caked Richardson. "GIvo us both opinions and I will take my choice." (Laughter). "This Is hie official report," snld Dolllvcr. "Did he not In his sworn testimony before tho Insular committee recommend free trade?" asked RIchnrdnon. Dolllvcr read General Davis" opinion nnd also the opinion -of Dr. Carroll, tho prcsi- dont s confidential agent. "Did not Dr. Carroll recommend free trade?" asked Richardson. For Ultimate Free Trnde, "Ultimate frco trade," rosponded Dolllvcr. "Just oh this bill docs." In conclusion ho dismissed a.i beneath con tempt tho chargo of bribery as a motive for this 'bill. Ho had as well accuse Mr. Rich ardson of corruption for introducing a res olution to placo raw sugar on the frco list. This was a rc-publlcan measure, he said, in dorsed by th republican president, and 'tho Payne, tho floor leador of the majority. closed tho debato with a vigorous speech, 'tu which he said he was ready to submit the lssuo Involved in the pending bill to the common people of tho country. "The proudest act of my life," said ho. "Is my connection with this bill from start to finish." (Prolonged npplauso on republi can side.) At 5 o'clock tho house, under tho terms of tho special order, proceeded to vote. Tho roll call was followed with Intense lntorcst. Tho only demonstrations occurred when Henry C. Smith of Michigan voted "no" and when the speaker directed tho clerk to call his name and answered "aye."

At no tlmo slnco tho hurrlcano of August 8 last lins tho condition of the poor of Porto Rico been ns bad ns It Is today. About 93 per cent of the Island may bo placed Ip tho peon class, which Is mado up of a. mixture of nil racc3. In tho other 5, per cent aro Included tbo well to do educated people, such ns merchants, plant ers and professional men and their famlllcu. Thin better class Is able to pass through such times as aro now prevailing without actual physical Buffering, but their business affairs aro at a standstill and have been for a long tlmo and this doprlves tho majority of tho largo laboring class of a m earns of livelihood. This large body of laboring peo ple furnishes tho very cheap nnd effective labor which Is needed for agricultural and other works, but nt all times they have been In an underfed and poorly nourished condi tion. Their hardships bavo been greatly added to by the scarcity of fruit sln:e tbo hurricane and Its consequent Increase in price. Salt fish, rlco and beans havo been im ported frco of1 duty since the hurricane, hut little of th benefit of-this has gone to tho peons, and now when thoro la a prospect of 15 per cent of tho Dlngley tariff being placed on thrno articles the price has been greatly advanced. Merchants hesltato to import largo stocks because of the- proapo:t of frco trado -and the present scarcity Is also tho cause for tho advance In prices. No ouo who understands tho situation hero will deny that much of tho good feeling be tween Porto Rlcans and Americans has been lost, llcsldca Americans are fewer In num ber In Porto Rlco today than nt any tlmo slnco shortly after the troops first landed nnd thoso departing have left a long Hat of defunct companies, bankrupt business, bank rupt rehemes nnd anxious credltoni, who In somo cases hold choice collections of worth less notes and checks. Not only arotAmcrlcans leaving tho Island, but largo numbers of Porto Rlcans havo gono to Venezuela, to Santo Domingo nnd to Cuba. Three days ago moro than 300 natives sailed for Cuba, to obtain employ ment thero nnd nt least 1,000 have sailed from this port alone during tho last threa montlm. Much livo stock is also being shipped to Cuba. The greatest loss to Porto P.lco In this respect is the large cargoes of magnlficont cattle, which it will tako years to replace. General Davis Is being deluged with peti tions ns well as visits from committees of citizens from all over the Island, all asking that part of tho $2,000,000 opproprlatlon bo spent In ItB particular locality. Tho sugar planters of Cabo Rojo think $200,000 should bo Bpent for a central factory for their betm fit, while the municipal council of Ponco has appointed a committee to ask for part of the money for Improvements for tho Ponco waterworks. Municipalities In Porto Rlco nro mostly in a state of absolute bankruptcy nnd havo been so for months. Tho alcaldes, council men and other officers do not relish at tempting to run towns without' funds nnd resignations havo been so numorous that General Davis has found It necessary to Is suo an order on tho subject, giving causes for which resignations will bo accepted. TOBACCO SHORT OF STAMPS St. I.ouIh Firm Gnllly of Ilefruuil Ins; the Government of I.nrice Sum, SAN. FRANCISCO, April 11. Flvo hun dred pounds of plug cut tobacco were seized In various local stores by Internal rovenue agents becaujo tho pnckagcB wcro Insuffi ciently stamped. This tobacco, manufac tured by a St, Louis firm, had teen put up In packages weighing from an ounco and threo- quarters to two ounces and tho packages had been uniformly stamped as wolghlng an ounqe and two-thirds. Collector Thomas, who mado the dlscovory of this revonuo law violation, Bays that tho fraud has evidently been carried on very extensively and he estimates that tho cost to tho government has been fully $50,000 a year. A general search for unstamped packager) has been begun and all tobacco found to exceed tho weight Indicated by the stamps will bu confiscated.
