WASHINGTON. April . (Special.)
Officials of the Bureau of Insular Af
fairs of the War Department axe
alarmed at reports from Manila con
cerning: an insurrection of the Moros
which centers around Jolo.
Private letters received here, rrom
Manila say that for more than a year
the Moroa have been smuggling rifles
Into the province through Chinese
traders in Borneo, and that more than
1S000 of the tribesmen are armed. Jolo,
say the letters, is in a state of siege
and is surrounded by thousands of
Moros. Fighting has been going on in
the province for two months, and many
wounded American soldiers have been
sent to Manila.
A strict censorship concerning what
Is happening near Jolo is said to have
been established by Governor-General
Forbes, so that the real situation is
unknown in the United States.
Brigadier-General Pershing com
mands the American troops at Jolo, and
some of the letters bitterly denounce
him for what is denominated his in
efficiency in meeting the uprising,
which is said to have reached formid
able proportions.

The House Democrats will caucus on

The Senate Democrats had no plan
tonight to hold a caucus on the bill,

the bill as it now stands.

WILSON VIOLATES RULE
President Cuts Across Street, Wbich

WASHINGTON, April 6. President
Wilson unwittingly violated today the
new traffic regulations of the National
capital, which provide that persons
shall not cross the streets except at
corners.
The President was out walking with
Secretary Tumulty and when they
reached Pennsylvania avenue they cut
across diagonally toward the White
House. One of the policemen near ,the
White House smilingly informed them
of their error.
The President had paid his first call
at a residence In Washington. He
dropped in on Secretary Tumulty and
chatted a while with the family before
going down town. Many persons recog.
nlzed him along the way. (

. CHICAGO, April 6. (Special.) Ethel

woman, declaring herself to be the
daughter of wealthy parents of Fort
Wayne. Ind., Insists she has succeeded
in capturing a young man known to
her as Jack Lewis, who robbed her of
$3500 worth of diamonds and deserted
her In Portland, Or., September 10, 1811.
after they had been married ten days.
Jack Lewis, the man in the case, is
in a cell at the South Clark-street
Station. He denies the woman is his
wife, insists he never saw her before
and refuses to reveal his identity.
The arrest of the alleged clever
young confidence man was made at the
Blackstone Hotel, after he had dined
with the young woman who said she
was his wife. Alice Newcomb, a sister
of the young woman caliming to be
the deserted wife, and a .youthful phy
sician, who made every possible effort
to conceal his identity, figured in the
arrest. They were assisted by four
detectives. All were excited when they
reached the police statio. '
It finally developed that Miss New
comb, who says she is Mrs. Lewis, was
dining with her sister and the young
doctor in the Pompeiian room at the
Congress Hotel, when the man sup

was recognized immediately by the de

where they could dine alone and talk
matters over. It was while the couple
were at the Blackstone that the sister
telephoned the police and caused the
arrest of the young'man of mystery.

Masters to Meet Fire With Fire, but
Naughty Positions Are Absent
in Fancy Ballroom Glides.
CHICAGO, April . (Special.) Po
lice will not permit the grizzly bear or
the turkey trot but wait until they
see the Sapho or the ace of diamonds.
Those last two travel under the eu
phonious and rather old-fashioned
name of folk dances.
Dancing masters of Chicago having
failed to standardise the tango, have
hit upon folk dancing as a counter
irritant. They are planning a National
congress to popularize it.
Mary Garden's assertion, when Sa
lome was barred, that "police have no
souls for art" now may be applied to
the dancing masters by lovers of the
bunny hug, the hippopotamus hitch,
Texas Tommy and the angle-worm
wiggle.
Those who teach how to cavort in
a ballroom assembled today and de
cided to fight Are with fire, or, rather,
names with names. Hence the Sapho,
the ace of diamonds, and one other,
the shoemaker's glide. ' By eliminating
the naughty positions the risque,
shuffling,' syncopated grizzly steps
and injecting a few nifty swings and
pretty points, the dancing masters be
lieve they will offer something every
body will just go crazy about.

The fire was started less than an
hour after he was placed in the jail

to Demonstration.
CETTINJB. April 6. The little king
dom of Montenegro has thrown down
the gauntlet to the six great powers.
She declines to yield to the demand
of the powers to abandon her attempts
to gain possession of Scutari, and has
officially announced that "there will bo
no departure from an attitude which
conforms to the necessities of the state
of war existing between the allies and
Turkey."
An international fleet, comprising
warships of Austria-Hungary, Italy.
France, Germany and Great Britain
is now blockading the Montenegrin
port of Antlvari. The Aeet includes
four Austrian warships, the British
cruisers Yarmouth, Inflexible and Glou
cester; the German cruiser Breslau, the
Italian cruiser Pisa and the French
cruiser Edgar Quinet
Measnge Sent to Premier.
Russia is not renresented by a war
ship, but has acquiesced in the naval
demonstration.
The British Admiral snt the follow
ing message to the Montenegrin Pre
mier, Dr. L. Tomanovics:
"I have the honor to inform you that
the international fleet is assembled In
Vfnntonptrrin waters as a Drotest against
non-fulfillment of the wishes of tha
great powers. I desire to call your
excellency's attention to the presence
of the fleet as a proof that the great
nnwers are acting in concert, and re
quest that their wishes be fulfilled
iihniit further delav. Please Inform
me Immediately that your government
is ready to carry out tne wisnes oi mo
great powers." .
Attitude Is Unchanged.
T this the Montenegrin Premier re
plied in a note expressing regret at
th nmsence of the fleet, which he con
sidered a violation of the neutrality
proclaimed by the powers at the be
ginning of the war. The Premier con
tinued: "Despite the pressure which the pres
ence of the fleet implies, there will be

conforms to the necessities of the stato

KIXG SEES IRONY IN NAME
Nicholas Comments on Writer for
Whom Cruiser Was Christened.
PARIS, April 6. King Nicholas of
Montenegro Is quoted in the Temps as
saying that he has learned with sor
row that the cruiser Edgar Qulnct will
represent France In the naval demon
stration on the Montenegrin coast.
"It Is a bitter irony." said the King,
"that the name of the illustrious writer,
nuinst. the uDholder of peoples
struggling for independence and unity,
should be associated with an expedition
against the small but valiant cham
pion of Balkan independence. You may
say that despite the measures of co
ercion taken by Europe against her,
Montenegro will yield only to violence.
It remains for Europe to add the ridi
cule of armed force to her injustice."
