the autonomy so iealously guarded by Premiers Laurier of Canada, Botha of South Africa and Fisher of Australia.
 Later resolutions were introduced at the commercial and industrial development of the British empire and for defense, sub jects on which the dominions and the home government were in agreement. The home government was unable to support the scheme for a state owned Atlantic cable, as the cost was considered pro- hibtive, but it is hoped to obtain cheaper cable rates by negotiations with the tele- graph companies.
 Sir Wilfrid Laurier is as strongly as ever in favor of preference within the empire, but has not yet referred the ques- tion to the imperial conference. Instead he presented a resolution, which was adopted providing for a royal commis- sion to visit the over seas dominions and for their developments. This is regarded as one of the most important actions of the conference.
 Other practical results of the confer ence have been the action of the British foreign offices in taking the dominions into it's confidence with regard to for eign relations and the acceptance of Pre- mier Laurers suggestions to negotiate with foreign governments with a view
 to giving the over seas dominions the
 right of withdrawal from any conner cial treaty without impairing such treaty
 with respect to the rumor of the empire.

ONLY ENEMY OF
 MADERO zAPATA
Now Trying Diplomacy, But Zapata Will Not Be Tol-
 erated Much Longer

Mexico City, June 17.-Through day Of conference with President De La Barra, General Reyes and a host of commissions from various parts of the republic who are seeking the political regenration of Mexico, Francisco l. Madero met but one spectre of the revolution which worried him and that is destined to continue to worry him unless Emiliano Zapata is re- moved as chief of the insurrecto forces in the state of Morelos.
 The people of that state have arisen against zapata in numerous protestations and tomorrow a mass meeting of res- idents of the state who happen to be in the national capital will be held to formu- late a protest to Madero against him.
 Zapata, erstwhile bandit and commander of about 1000 troops in the vicinity of Cuernavaca, capital of Morelos. incurred the wrath of the people before the peace agreement was signed and afterward When the revolution was in progress his men are alleged to have held up trains and shot and robbed innocent passengers. Even Juan Carreon, at present governor of the state, while travelling to Cuerna- vaca was not immune from the holdups of Zapata's men and pleading that he hao but SIP, escaped search of his person,
 
 Since the revolution ended, however, atrocities in the vicinity of Cuernavaca are said to have been, perpetuated, is the news that has reached the ears of Madero.
 The American colony has deserted the place and residents of all classes fear Zapata's men. There are few women left in the town. When Madero conferred with Zapata at Cuernavaca a few days ago on his southern trip, he was given to understand by Zapata that some Of the latters men were unconrrollable. Accord- ingly a plan for mastering them out was introduced Madero tonight refused to discuss the fact that Zapata is in com mand of the rel el force, though it is be- lieved his plan in appointing Zapata to the position was to keep him in an ap- parently responsible post, where his troops were being mustered out. On the other hand it is thought that the ap- pointment of Zapata to the command or all the insurrecto troops at Morelos, ana there are no other soldiers there, as the federals have evacuated the state, was to appease Zapata, who has cherished a grudge against Figueroa for styling him self commander of all the troops in Guerrero and Morelos.
 The mass meeting of the people of Morelos may not be unwelcome to Ma dero, who. it is asserted In some quar- ters merely has been waiting for some public manifestation of dspleasure toward Zapata as an excuse for suppressing him.
 Madero wishes to deal with Zapate automatically but should he be unable to handle him it is an opeil secret that some of the men under Ftgueroa's command will be commanded to CuernGvaca to a>- sist General Asunsolo and General Mi randa, Maderos faithful followers. in squelching Zapata and maintaining order in the state.

WILL ERADICATE
 C|ENTIF 10 PARTY

Mexico City, June 17.-With the idea of eradieating even the remotest cien- tifco influence in the present govern mental machinery or that over which Francisco l. Madero expects to pre- side after the coming general cleo tions, a movement is on foot not only to oust "cientifcos" and their friends from federal or local offices but also to investigate the legality of certain foreign concessions with which some cientifcos are said to be partly iden- flied.
 According to a member of the present cabinet 1t is absolutely necessary to renovate the governmental fabric; cleansing it more particularly of the cientificos than the 'porhroists," so called followers of General DiaZ. How the upheaval will extend has not been exactly defined but today the Maderos came into possession of certain infor

 Incidentally rumors were circulated, secured on good authority and seem ingly well founded, that the oil com pany in question is endeavoring to sell out to another company, believed 10 the less likely to be injured by the talked-of governmental investigation. The assertion that some of the board of directors of the National Railway actu- ally held stock in the oil company whether given freely or for consider alton, Is said to be the basis upon which the Maderos will cemand the changing of the personnel of the li- fectorate. though as a matter of fact. those members of the board who ad- mittedly are of the "cientiico" element no longer sare in Mexico and their hegira of itself it is said will compel the naming of new directors

Havana, June 17.-Practically no pro- gress was made today in the uncovering of the Maine, the pumps merely being used to keep the water a trife below the 1O-foot level, which was reached yester- day. The work of removing the mud that covers the exposed portions of the wreck was begun. Streams of water at high pressure were employed but terrific rainstorm soon compelled the suspension of this task. Tn many places the ma terial covering decks and filling the in terior spaces to a depth of several feet, heretofore supposed to be harbor silt, proves to be a corral like formation de- flying removal by water pressure and necessitating much tedious work with picks.
