FIND
LABORERs UNEARTH SOME QUEER
 THINGS IN MEXICO CITY.
Pottery Covered With Undecipherable Hieroglyphics and Other Arti- cles Apperfaining to Time
 of Corfcs Conquest.

Mexico City, June 4.--Laborers exca- vating trenches for the underground cable system of the telephone company near Cinco De Mayo Street have struck a number of clay utensils. concrete foundation of temples and pottery cov- cred with hierogfyphics, also old Spanish coins whose dates are undeci- pherable. but which. mingling with the pottery, induces the supposition that the antiquities appertain to periods of the conquest when Cortez razed every building in the Aztec capital
 Z Among the ruins thus unearthed Pro lessor Batres said that the Government would doubtless find a large block of lava from the eruption of Popocapetl more than 100 years ago. A wall un- covered shows evidence of having been built on the ruins of another city lower down. The wall is covered with hiero- glyphics which are partially effaced by the drilling of conduit holes through the solid masses.
 Professor Batres is eager to obtain Governmental permission to excavate below the present find for older re- mains. which he is satisfied exist un- derneath, especially in view of similar discoveries in 1900.

AFFAIRS OF MOROCCO
WILLIAMS VISIT NOT REGARDED
 AS HOSTILE.
Tangter Believes that the German Enl- perOr is Merely Keeping nm Eye Upon His Nations Large COm-
 mercial Interests There.

(Correspondence of Associated Press.)
 Tangier, Morocco. June 5.--In com mercial quarters and in those circles usually well informed on political af- fairs, the recent visit of the German Emperor to Morocco is not regarded as In any sense meant as 6 hostile dem onstration against any foreign power. Here the belief is that the intentions of Germany as affecting Morocco are pure ly to protect her large and growing commercial interests. In other words. 1t Is felt that Germany merely stands for the policy of the open door and for the protection of her increasing trade.
 The whole question which has been opened up by the Emperor's visit. how
 ever, Is much broader than one of iTn- port The future development of Mo- rocco promises to be great. It Is fertile land and as compared to other African Mediterranean countries, IS well populated. Its mineral resources are as yet unexploited, but they are believed to be great. It thus will be seen that the matter of railway con- sessions and mining concessions will in future become one of paramount im- portance. A French protectorate either in fact or one tacitly existing, would mean that the bulk of such concessions would go to French capital. because the existing agreement makes this easily nossible It Is pointed out that the German Emperor foresees this possi- ble development and that his Moroccan policy is merely designed to place Ger many at least on an equality with France in the future development of the country. There Is no disposition either in official or commercial circles to believe that the German Emperor wishes to in any way provoke hostili- ties In either way, 1t would be nec- essary to close the door against all but French capital for mining and railway concessions, and this is the condition as Morocco sees it, that Elm peror William wishes to overcome.

 Commander Calkins. Lieutenant- Commander McElroy and the Ohio's carpenter, Harding.
 The boafd will begin its investigation of the warships immediately.
 Rear Admiral Train has offered the Russian ships the necessary coal In lieu of few days stay here. but there Is question whether the Russians will be able to carry such quantity of coal on account of their damaged hul1s
 The deaths today aboard the Russian ships now bring the total number of killed up to seventy, and there are i've additional cases in the hospital. Amer lean navy surgeons are assisting the Russian surgeons in their work of car- ing for the wounded

Tried to obey Orders.

Tokio, June 3.-(Delayed.) )--A teie- gram from Sasebo says:
 "A member of the Russian stan be- ing asked why the Russian ships took the risk of essaying the Tsu Strait said:
 We were confident of victory Vladivostok was not the only object of our fleet. The Emperor com manded us on leaving the Baltic to fight and defeat our enemy and we were anxious to obey his orders. We were confident and ready to fight from the start. Our mission is ended.
 "Of the captives brought to Sasebo. the battleship Nieholai I, is the most seriously damaged. There are many holes in her port side over three feet in diameter and the majority of her quick firing guns on the port side were destroyed. Her forward funnel Is partly shot aawy and one hole along the water line measures ten feet"
 A dispatch from Maizuru says that the Japanese battleship Asahi was largely engaged with the Russian bat tIeship Borodino. After the Borodino took fire and was sinking the Asahi suspended fighting, but the Borodtno continued to fire. Practically her last shot struck the Asahi astern on the starboard side. killing Lieutenant Nor ishita and seven other men.
 Morishita's leg was shot off, but us- ing his sword as crutch he managed to reach the deck where he died.
 A dying sailor asked for paper on which to write a farewell message to the Japanese navy. He wrote:
 "Banzai! I die a glorious death"

 Matter Rest.

Matter Rest.
 New York. June 4.--Samuel Inter myer. counsel for Vice. e-President Hyde of the Equitable Life Assurance Soci- ety made a statement tonight :n which he declared that a solution of the troubles in the Society seemed near The statement follows:
 At no time since the trouble be- gan has the prospect for a peaceful and permanent solution. satisfactory to all interests, been so promising as at the present time. The next few days are likely to see important develop ments in that direction. Every energy Is being directed to that end and we are most sanguine of results. I am not at liberty to say more at this time.
 Acting on legal advice MT. Hyde will shortly begin proceedings 10 de- termine the question of the syndicate profits that were criticised in the Prick report. and most unjustly so, as we claim. When the subject ,s fully minded person will agree that he was these profits and that the society had nothing to do with 1t. Whatever else may happen. Mir. Hyde will .lot pause in his determination to secure a public investigation of these baseless charges which are so little understood and which have created such an unreason- ing prejudice in the public mind. It s amazing on what slim pretaxt menss honest lives are misjudged at times of public excitement, but we are confi- dent that justice and fair play will prevail in the end. Mir. Hyde will bide his time."
