AMERICAN FORCES LANDED
Marietta Places Guards at Ports.
Joint Intervention Likely.
WASHINGTON. March 21. Bluejackets
and marines have been landed from the
United States gunboat Marietta at Tru
jlllo and Ceiba and probably at Puerto
Cortes. Honduras. In order to protect
American Interests In those ports. Ad
vices to this effect were received today at
the Navy Department from Commander
Fullam. of the Marietta, and they were
at once transmitted to the State Depart
ment. The Navy Department feels that the
action taken , by Commander Fullam
brings the situation completely in hand,
so far as the safeguarding of trade Inter
ests Is concerned.
It appears that Commander Fullam
landed a force of about 20 marines at
Trujillo and 20 bulejackets at Celba and
then continued his course to Puerto Cor
tes. It Is said the dispatch to the Navy
Department was sent by Commander Ful.
lam before his departure from Ceiba to
day and that it Indicated an ltnentlon to
land 15 or 20 men at Puerto Cortes upon
his arrival there.
Both coasts of the warring Central
American republics are completely cov
ered by American gunboats. In addition
to the Marietta on the Honduran Carrl
bean coast, which is the point regarded
as most In danger, the Paducah is further
south on the Nicaragua! coast. On the
Pacific Coast side are the Princeton, pa
trolling the Nlcaraguan coast, and the
Chicago, patrolling the Salvadorean and
Honduran coasts.
t Joint intervention by Mexico and the
, United States in the war which threatens
to involve all Central America Is now
regarded as probable by diplomatists.

OREGONIAN NEWS BURBATT. Wash
ington. March 20. President Roosevelt
got about everything that he asked for
at the hands of Congress last session ex
cept legislation affecting the public land
of the West. In that respect bis wishes
were almost entirely Ignored.
The President was very anxious for a
reform of the land laws; be urged several
specific reforms in the most forceful
manner, sending in special messages and
reports from the Interior Department in
support of bis recommendations, but all
fell upon deaf ears. Notwithstanding
this, the public land question, particular
ly the forestry question, was given a thor
ough airing and the way was paved for
action at the comlnjr Congress, when
there will be ample time for considera
tion. Many men of influence in Congress
ajcree with the' President and are heart
ily in favor of making radical changes in
the existing land laws, but these men are
few in number when taken in connection
with the entire Congress. Men from the
Bast have no direct interest in the land
question and. until Senators and Repre
sentatives from the West take the initia

not apt to take a hand.
What Made West Angrr.
Western men were angry this pastses
son because of the radical manner in
which the administration "has extended
forest reserves over the protest of the
people of the states affected, and their
ugly mood was largely responsible for the
failure of Congress to seriously under
take the reform of the land laws.
Another thing that caused dlsgruntle
ment among Western legislators was the
wholesale withdrawal of coal land and
the subsequent order of the President
suspending all public land entries pending
examination by a special agent. That or
der was the straw that broke the camel's
back and. until it was materially modi
fied, congress would not give any consid
eration whatever to public land legisla
tion urged by the President. In February
the objectionable order was modified in a
way that met the approval of most West
ern men. but then it was too late to ac
complish anything.
When the President, at the suggestion
of Secretary Hitchcock, suspended all
public land entries pending Investigation
by a special agent, he acted entirely upon
the recommendation of the Secretary. He
did not stop to consider the effect of his
order. He thought that was the only way
to effectively check frauds and at once
urged Congress to appropriate an extra
ISOO.OOO for the employment of special
agents. Congress never for a minute in
tended to make that appropriation; the
men from the public land states heard a
mighty howl of protest from their con
stituents and, following She suggestions
from home, they vigorously objected to
the President's order, both on the ground
that It would work hardship on bona fide
settlers, who were . In the overwhelming
majority, and because the order of sus
pension naturally cast suspicion upon ev
ery man who sought to obtain a tract of
Government land.
President Pacifies West.
When the President's order was modi
fled, there was no demand for this large
appropriation, but even then the Presi
dent had hopes that the money for. spe
cial agents might be increased over the
customary appropriation, - for there still
remained a certain class of entries which
could not be patented until after exami
nation. But, when Congress adjourned
after refusing this increase, the Presi
dent abrogated that part of his original
order which was still in effect, and the

fearful congestion of business in the Gen
eral Land Office will soon be rilieved.
When Congress reassembles next Win
ter, unless something unforeseen should
occur during the Summer, a better feel
ing will exist between the White House
and the Western men In Congress and the
President will be much more apt to se
cure the reforms which he desires.
The President has been convinced that
his order suspending entries pending, in
vestigation would not be altogether ef
fective; in fact he has been convinced
that It would accomplish comparatively
little good, and It Is not believed that he
will reissue the order at any future time.
To do so would be to wave a red flag
before the bull and just as surely Con
gress would again refuse to modify the
land laws. ...
Will Repeal Timber and Stone Act.
One of the most Important reforms
sought by the President was the repeal
of the timber and stone act and the sub
stitution of a law providing only for the
sale of public timber, the title to the land
to remain permanently In the Government.
The Senate committee was favorable to
such a bill; in fact reported a bill that
met with the hearty approval of the
President, but a few men from the West
would not stand for it and in the press
of more important business this bill was
buried. It could not have gone through
the House, for the House committee was
against It and would not report it under
any circumstances. In the new Con
gress there will be ample time to con
sider land reforms and the objections of
a few Senators will not be ample to block
action If a majority of the Senate is in
accord with the President. Moreover,
there is assurance that the new commit
tee on public lands in the House will be
a very different body from that which de
fied the President this Winter, and the ex
pectation is that the Speaker, in making
up this committee, will consult the Presi
dent and appoint a committee In anH

Lease of Grazing Land.
The President was also anxious to se
cure the enactment of a law- last ses
sion providing for leasing the public graz
ing land, as well as a law providing for
either leasing the public coal land or for
its development under i royalty system.

never tested in the Senate, It Is known
that there was a very strong opposition
to such a bill and that H could not have

House. 11
Coal Land Leasing.
On the other hand., if there had been
an abundance of time, it is more than
likely that Congress would have enacted
some law providing for the leasing of
public coal land. The President's idea
in that matter is not only to derive a
fair revenue from the vast coal area of
the United States, but to prevent the
formation of a coal monopoly in the West
similar to that which now exists In the
anthracite regions of Pennsylvania and
adjoining states. Legislation along this
line meets with general approval and its
ultimate enactment is looked for.
In one particular the President eu
chered Congress; that is, in the creation
of forest reserves in Oregon, Washington,
Idaho, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana.
The Fulton amendment to the agricul
tural bill prohibited the futher creation
of reserves in those states except by
authority of Congress. Realizing that
this amendment would forever stop the
creation of reserves In the states named,
the President, before signing the agri
cultural bill, reserved every acre of land
In the six states that was known to con
tain timber of value or which was re
garded by the Forest Service - as desir
able for reserve purposes.
May Fight About Forests.
It Is expected that this question will
come up again in Congress next Win
ter, for, while the President did not
violate any law, inasmuch as he created
the reserves ' before he signed the bill,
yet he acted contrary to the expressed
will of Congress and futhermore acted
contrary to the will of a great many
people In the states named. There was
some talk when Congress adjourned that
Congress might, by special act, undo the
President, but this may not be attempted.
A great deal will depend upon public
sentimnet as it is revealed this Summer
to the members of the delegations from
the states affected.

this Winter and if the House committee
