that they did quite a stroke

claim proven by a p~erusal Of returns.
While the whole country apparently
endorses the peace sentiment, yet it
is very clear that the Taft plan will
have rough shedding at the coming ses-
sion Of Congress, and his treaties
which were passed over by the last
Senate, may never be ratified. The
American navy has grown to such
propositions, and evidently the PEG
pie of the nation are so proud Of it
as was demonstrated during the re
cent spectacular show in New York
harbor. that there is a sentiment one
hears daily expressed in the Capital,
that the United States does not need
10 form any alliances or partnerships
with Great Britain in order to main
tain peace on this side of the salted
seas. The spirit of the peace situa-
ton appears TO be that the American
people are well satisfied because they
are ar peace with the world, and
cherish contentment over the fact
that if any other nation is inclined to
interfere with the universal comfort
We are enjoying in that respect, that
We have a navy big enough to bluff
them of without the necessity Of try
ing out conclusions in real warfare.
The bodies of forty-three sailors
who died in the wreck of the Maine
have been recovered since the work
started in raising the ship. There
are still t~wenty-four missing. The
keel Of the ship is now exposed, and
the government board has been noti-
fed that the wreck can be inspected
by November 20. There appears to
be no longer any doubt in the minds
Of naval experts as to whether the
explosion was internal or external, as
every evidence clearly indicates that
the Maine was blown up from the
outside, confirming the theory which
was the principle cause of our war
with Spain.
Senator Jonathan Bourne denounces
the present plan of apportionment Of
delegates to the Republican national
convention to that advocated by
Henry C. Payne, who was a former
Chairman of the Republican National
Committee, and the originator Of the
movement TO cut down southern re-
presentation. In the last National
Convention many old ~"stand-pat"
states supported the very thing Mr..
Bourne now contends for, and there
for what Mr.. Bourne says can hardly
be construed as fractional. The fact
that five states-Oregon, North Da-
kota, Nebraska, New Jersey, and Wis
sonsin-have enacted a Presidential
preference law, providing for pri-
and the instruction Of national
delegates will give them but one dele
gate for every 5000 to 5000 votes
cast for Taft and Sherman at the last
Presidential election, while South
will have one for every 220
votes cast. Mr.. Bourne's contention
is that State lines be eliminated, and
that delegates be apportioned on a
basis of equality making a certain
number of Republican votes the unit.

letters and kilograms sent by Hallen to

alleged, will show conclusively that he
was acting with the full knowledge of
the Mexican government. From the
Mexican embassy there has come de-

The arrest of Hallen was made on com

ceived Information several days ago
from Harvey Phillips, the Washing
ton detective, said to be in the en-
ploy of the reVolutionists agents. whN

It was said at first that Hallen was
arrested on suspicion of completely in

was Forthcoming, however, to indicate
that Hallen was implicated in any wy

by the manager of the Burns Detective
Agency. 1t said in part:
I'VE do not want you under any cir

able to connect with him or any of his
associates. Any matters you wish to
take up with him please do so through
this office. This rule must be strictly
adhered to for several very important
reasons"
In 1898, according to the police rec
ords, Hallen was sentenced to eight
years in Sing Sing prison for bogus

DIAz REPORTED TO
HAVE ASKED PEACE
Statement of Terms By
Cara Sets the Story
Afloat.

Ell PASO, March IA statement is
sued by Gonzales Cara, Mexican provi-
sional secretary of state, outlining the
terms of peace which would be accept
able to the insurgents in the field, is in
terpreted by many here as indicating
that President Diaz may have made
overtures to Francisco Madero looking
to a settlement of existing difficulties.
The fact that Jose Limantour, Mexican
minister of finance, is speeding toward
the border ''in response to important
secret messages is believed in some
quarters to be connected with the re-
ported peace plans
Madero with loo troops is hurrying
northward and will be Joined en- route
by General Orozco and 800 troops.
Whether this means a new movement
against Juarez cannot be ascertained
is moving toward the border, where he
will be in a more convenient position to
negotiate should President Diaz see fit
to press peace terms on him.
Before peace car be considered, Cara
declared, Diaz must nullify the 1910 cleo
tion. and submit his candidacy to
new, general, free election by all the
people Of Mexico If Diaz is then elect
ed. he added, the insurgents will ac-
ceDt him.
CARA saws Madero is the only man
who can negotiate terms for the revolu-
tiOniSts and that before peace could be
considered, the terms would have to be
brought to him in the field. Cara says
a neutral ground for consideration of
terms. would have to be selected and
the commissioners in charge Of the ne
lnN hn yiPn n
citizens. The insurgents would not con-
slider any mediation by the United States
Government.
The reports that LimantOur's trip to
Mexico is connected with possible peace
terms are based on New York dis
patches stating that before his depart
ure the finance minister was closeted
with Senior Madero. father of Francisco
Madero. Limantour has been the ad-
viser Of the Madero family for years.

Japanese Official
RidiculeS Talk of
Pact With Mexico

NEW YORK, March ia Tokyo
dispatch to the Herald from its corre-
spondent there gives an emphatic denial
by Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs
lshin Of a secret treaty between Japan
and Mexico. The statement OF Mr.
1shill follows:
1 am exceedingly glad that you
have taken the trouble to approach
me personally on this mater, as it
affords me an opportunity Of denying
most emphatically and categorically
the existence of any such under
standing or alliance.
The rumor simply amaZes our au-
thorities, and is deemed too prepos-
ferrous for formal contradiction. 1t
Is incomprehensible how 1t origi- =
mated.
As you are aware, even the yell
lowest of Japanese papers ridicules
the story. 1t is impossible for me to
say more.
The correspondent continues:
Nearly all the papers discuss the ru-
NOR in the above sense, denOunCing it
as a malicious Fabrication of politicians
who are determined at any cost to en-
broil Japan and America.
THE Asahi notes that the rumor arose
in Europe, and not in America, ema-
mating in a certain quarter of Ger
many.
The jingo press here declares the ru-
NOR unintentiOnally betrays Americas $
true attitude toward Mexico. 1t says
she is employing the revolution as
pretext for intervention. inasmuch as
Mexico alone stands in the path of the
absorption of the Central American re-
puhliCS, whereat the policy aims.
The YOrOdZu says the rumor shows
the extent of American fear of Japan,
and Characterizes the mobilization as
serious blunder. 1t notes with satisfaC-
1inn the Taff-k diSa RrpPmpnt and
says the treatened moVemen; is so un-
popular that certain regiments have
only half their strength
''The Mchinchi insists that a CONNER
Cial treaty is the only document ever
exchanged between Japan and Mexico
and considering the past interests of
Americans in Mexico and the pro-Amer-
ican sentiments of President Diaz it is
impossible for Japan to conclude ar
alliance, at least for the present"
