Steamer Santana Seized Under Taft Proclamation
New Orleans May 18 The Montes line steamship Santana was seized in the harbor by the United States revenue cutter Davey for violating Taft’s March proclamation banning shipment of arms to Mexico. The ship carried 110000 rounds of rifle ammunition and ten cases of carbines bound for Campeche Mexico. Consular papers showed the munitions were consigned to the state governor, but the ship’s manifest had no arms. Captain Manson ordered crew aboard and detained the vessel pending Washington instructions. Captain Boyd returned to his ship after talks with officials. A local broker claimed the shipment was open and above board and that proper permission could be secured. DOJ agent Harris has had the shipment under surveillance and filed information against the steamer.

Immigration laws face changes in Congress this session
Washington May 18 Special. Important changes in immigration laws are planned by Congress this session. The Dillingham bill advances an educational test requiring reading and writing twenty five words from the Constitution in the immigrant's language and a higher head tax from four to thirty five dollars per person. Opposition from churches and foreign groups argues the test harms families and overlooks criminal entry. The measure moves through House and Senate committees as supporters push passage.

Ogilthorpe plan cited amid immigration debate in Atlanta remarks
A Presbyterian assembly rebuke to locating Attania or any college in Atlanta is seen as not affecting a new Attno law. Dr. Dunbar Ogden of Central Presbyterian church praises the plan’s response and notes strong support from prominent Presbyterians. The piece recalls Grover Cleveland’s veto of a similar immigration bill and debates on literacy tests and head taxes, with discussion of African descent exclusion and related charges in the Senate.
