LoNavIEw, June i9.-tSpocial.l =
THE HERALD correspondent made a
trip 10 Henderson via Overton yester-
day and found the cotton crop prospect
very good, but corn crops somewhat
backward and needing rain. Gardens
at Overion are nearly burned up.
Some very substantial brick build
ings are In course of construction at
Henderson and the citizons feel conn-
dent of steady improvements In case
good crop Is made this year.
The correspondent met one of the
famous Texas veterans who was saved
In the black bean trial in the City Of
Mexico In 1913. His name is Richard
Brown, n years old but perfectly Greet
and strong, though his hair and beard
are as white as snow. Ho IL very &C.
centric and It took q good deal OF work
10 got him unawares on his war reIni-
niscences, but whom once warmed
up his eyes would flash when
speaking OF lighting. He
settled near about Henderson
IN 1885, and fought in several Indian
and the Mexican wars. He went with
the Inflated Mexia expedition in 1912,
and lived on fresh beef and coffee for
three months, not tasting bread dur
ing the whole time, and was some
times without anything for days. He
said several of his comrades, calling
them by name), would on these occa-
sions, when they did got beef, eat a
large quantity and swell up ana die,in
a short time. He, with his comrade,
was captured beyond the Rio Graude
River, at n place called Mier, in No
vember, 1872, and were taken 10 the
City OF Mexico, where they rem aimed
% months with just enough food 10
keep body and soul together. Ha wing
no desire TO live at the expiration of
this time the famous black bean trial
was instituted, "A description OF which
he gave. He said there were just 100 of
them and it was decided to kill nine
out OF every 10. An old stone water
pitcher was placed on the outside OF
plank wall or fence, which had Il hole
just large enough for man 10 rescn
through and insert his hand into the
pitcher, which contained 80 black and
10 white beans. Each drew life or
death in this way. He was the last
man to draw a white bean. He said
t. ere were two brothers one nearly deai
with consumption, the other healthy.
The consumptiye gave Ms white bean
to his brother and went out with the
CONDEMNED and was shot. Mr.. Brown
said rs far rs he was concerned, he
had as soon died as lived, and many
others so expressed themselves. After
the execution the survivors were sent
to Vera Cruz, and thence back home.
The correspondent asked the old
mau if the sun didn't hurt him when
working In the cotton. He replied
that vegetation grown i'm the sun mUat
live in the sun, and hurried away.

PEACE PROPOSALS PENDING.


Lima, June 20.-General Cacere s, the
leader of the Revolutionists, sent a
courier to General Mas, asking sus-
pension of hostilities and offering to
to come to terms. General Mas dis
patched courier with credentials to
the government and at the same time
urged the government to treat with
Caceres, not because they cannot de-
feat HIM, but as a means OF disposlng
of all further pretext for revolution
throughout the country. 1t was de-
cided in council TO treat with
Caceres, for which purpose DR.
Povar, minister of justice, leaves to-
day for the inferior, fully empowered
to treat on behalf of the government.
Every confidence is entertained in a
favorable result, and that in short
time the whole country will be paci-
fed.
Caceres is in Huancago with all his
forces. General Mas is In Jauja with
over 5000 men. The representatives
of both are to meet at Conchecion, a
village midway between both points.

The British Cabinet Question


LONDON, June 19.-Mr. Gladstone
will withhold his assurance that the
Liberals will assist the Salisbury
government, and the Marquis OF Sails
curry PERSISTS in his refusal to take Of
fee in the absence of such an assur-
ance. The result is complete dead
lock.
A CONFERENCE AND A GARD.
There was another conference OF
Conservatives this morning. As here
tofore, all pI esent were pledged to Sc
crecy. The Marquis of Salisbury, in
open letter, writes that the imputa-
ton that the Conservatives desire war
with Russia is ridiculous. The neces-
sity for such letter, some Conserva-
tives say, Is due entirely to the recent
secret conference of leaders Of the
party.
PARLIAMENT RE-ASSEMBLES.
Great crowds of people this morning

The loutpouring OF people to-day is
greater by far than at any time since
the beginning of the present crisis In
public affairs. The pslice have great
difficulty in keeping the entrances to
the houses of Parliament clear that
members may have easy access. There
is the usually full attendance of mem-
bers to-day, the Liberals and the Con-
servatives occupying their usual
seats.
In the House of Lords to-day the
MARQUIS of Salisbury rose amid cheers
and asked Lord Granville to consent
to an adjournment of the House
until Tuesday next He said
the conferences Of Liberals and
Conservatives had not Yet
reached stage to enable either side to
make statement, therefore 1t would
be more convenient to all to postpone
any discussion until Tuesday next, as
he suggested. He wished, how
ever, to make just one OBJ
