 JUST NOW.

 Return.

Laredo, Tex, March IS Jose Yves Lmantour, financier, diplomat and possible president of the future in Mexico, passed through tais city to :. day en route to Mexico City, where, if rumors proves correct, he may prove to be prominent factor in bringing about a settlement of the present diff ficulties between the Mexican federal government and the insurrectos.
 MT. Iimantcur, his wife, his son and a private secretary composed the party which left San Antonio this morning as occupants of the private car Hidalgo immediately preceding the Hidalgo in the makeup of the train was the private car of Vice President c. R. Hudson, of the Ma tional Lines of Mexico, and the same ltrain makeup was observed on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande.
 Mir. Limantour shrouded himself and party in mystery during their journey south from San Antonio and positively refused to see anybody. A large num- berS of newspaper men boarded the train at San Antonio and made every endeayor to obtain an interview but without success Finally becoming dis heartened, they left the train about sixty miles south of San Antonio, with one or two exceptions.
 Several persons left Laredo on the early morning northbound train and intercepted the southbound train at ECotulla, in the hope of securing a chance interview with Mir. Limantour, but all were unsuccessful. Among those making the trip were Leonardo Aguilar. J. Madero Aguilar and l. Gonzales Trevino, all members of the Madero family of Monterey, who came in on the morning train for the purpose of securing promise of an audience as soon as the train should reach Mexican soil. The only visitors received by Mir. Limantour on the American side of the Rio Grande were Mexican Consul, Miguel E. Diebold land Collector of Customs James J. Haynes while the audience granted on the Mexican side of the river were confined to few of the army, fed eral and municipal affairs.
 In conversation with an Associated Press representative, Minister Liman- tours son stated that his father had been besieged by the newspaper cor respondents ever since he left New York, all seeking interviews, but that the minister had deemed it best to maintain strict reticence and had de- termined to give out no statement until he reached Mexican territory and perhaps his silence would not be broken before he reached Mexico City.
 Shortly after 3:30 pm. the train de- parted from Nueyo Laredo for the south.
 In talking with the Associated Press : representative. Landro Aguilar. a member of the noncombatant branch of the Madero family, stated it as his belief that the present mission of Minister Limantour is one of concilia- ton. He said that to his knowled ge the Maderos in New York had re- ceived adviccs of the coming from Europe of MT. Limantour and that later conference had been held in New York He also declared that telegrams had been received by the Maderos at present in Mexico, which indicated that there would be a : lchange of conditions in Mexico within , the next three weeks and that their enforced repatriation would be 8 thing of the past.
 While at the station at Cotula Texas, the representatives of the Ma. - dero family were the center of at traction and met and talked with g large number of Mexicans and severn I Americans among whom will be Jas ]. Walker. the American, who acted al ! a guide for Francisco I. Madero dur n ing his flight from Cotulla to Eagl' Q Pass.
