FARMERs NOW HoPE.
Reports Gathered By Newspaper In
 Memphis.


 Memphis Tenn. June 16.--The Com mercial-Appeal will tomorrow print the following summary of its special cot- ton reports:
 Favorable weather as regards tenn perature, sunshine and rainfall worked a distinct improvement in the cotton crop during the week ending with Thursday, June IS. The plant has grown and looks much healthier. though still quite small Cultivation proceeded rapidly and in many parts of the belt the crop has been made clean. Grass Is still complained of, however, from all sections save tho three most eastern States of the belt. It is worse in the southern parts of the Mississippi valley. Another week of fair weather will witness the comple- ton of cultivation and probably a clean crop.
 The temper of the farmers has changed greatly and the ideas of total crop failure are no longer held. They have given way to hope. The crop is still quite late, evidence or this being the small size of the plant
 Boil weevii are numerous in the older infested sections of the southwest and are now doing damage to the young plants Bad stands are still complained of and from nearly all sections reports of occasional replanting-

Reasons for RetIrement.

Panama, June 16.-It is currently re- ported all through Central America that the Mexican legation retired from Guatemala when 1t was convinced of direct participation of high govern ment officials in Guatemala in Presi. dent Barrilla's assassination.
 Shortly after the arrival of M. Gam boa. the Mexican Minister at San Sal- vador, President Cabrera sent his con- fidential agent to endeavor to make a secret offensive and defensive treaty with Salvador but Gamboa's influence was decisive in making the mission un- successful.
 It is also reported that Guatemala has 4,000 soldiers we'll drilled and equipped on the Mexican frontier and more than 1000 prisoners in the peni- tentiary suffering untold agonies on account of the recent bomb attempt

FACING A CRISIS.
Mexican Miners Without Transports
 ton Facilities.


 Torreon. Texas. June l6.--Willard s. Morse, one of the high officials of the American Smelling and Refining Com pany, stated yesterday that mining and smelting centers in Mexico are facing a crisis in the matter of fuel and ore transportation. This Is particularly true at such points as are dependent upon the Mexican Central Railroad.
 MT. Morse states that the American Smelling and Refining Company has at preesnt time over 60,00o tons of ore and about 35, ,000 tons of fuel tied up with no prospect of being able to have 1t moved.
 Among the worst sufferers are the mine owners who are unable to send their product to the smelters and turn their money over for the purpose or meeting new expenses.
 This condition of affairs in the opin- ion of Mir Morse has already worked great harm to mining as well as smelt- ing interests and unless a remedy is speedily applied he believes disastrous results will ensue.
