 Puerto Cortez. Honduras. June l. via New Orleans. June S--A peaceful settlement of one of the disputes most threatening to the tranquility of Gen. tral America wan begun yesterday al Ocotepeque, Honduras.
 This dispute was the Honduran- Euatemalan boundary question. both countries claiming the ownership to a big strip of land on the Honduras northern frontier. Commissioners from both Guatemala and Honduras met yes- terday at ocotepeque to begin a survey of the disputed ground. In case this survey does not result in an amicable settlement. the two republics have agreed to submit the question to the Court of Magistrates of the five Re- publies at CaFtaRena.
 This court is one of the results of the Washington Peace Conference of Central American countries.
 So bitter has been this boundary dis pute that no later than last winter was the doubtful territory occupied or or watched by armed men whose gov ernments were making every prepara- tion for war.

NEW oRLEANs MOTION.

New Orleans. June s.-Spot cotton was quiet with prices unchanged Middling 1fAc. Sales were 1850 bales on the spot and 200 to arrive.
 Futures opened barely steady with the July option seven points up and the other active months six to eight points below the close of Saturday. with no advices from Liverpool where O holiday Is being observ- ed. the only factor at the opening was the weather which was reported fair through the greater portion of the belt.
 Reports of more or less encouraging nature were received from Texas where considerable damage was recently done by floods and the advance scored at that time was somewhat detracted from today by the recession in values which followed the re- ceipt of these adviees. Predictions of good weather for the belt for the next 24 hours resulted In a still further recession and at the close, which was steady, the active months were 10 to 12 points below the elosa of Saturday.

The unearthina of Memphis.

Memphis, on the Nile, one of the
greatest capitals of the ancient world,
Is buried beneath ground which is
now under cultivation by the villagers
of Mitrahineh, who win have to be
transferred to other plots and com
pensated before the work of excava-
tion can proceed very far. 1t is esti-
mated that an expenditure of about
$4,000 annually for fifteen years will
be required TO excavate the temple
sites, apart from the city. The un-
earthing Of Memphis, which contain
ed the finest school of Egyptian art,
will be by far the greatest archaeolog-
ical work of recent times and must
result in Il vast addition to the worlds
knowledge Of ancient Egyptian his
tory and civilization. The work will
soon be begun by Professor Petrie,
head of the British School of Archae-
ology in Egypt.
