MAINE DINNER
 SET DISCOVERED

Havana, June 1S.-As the remains of tho battleship Maine gradually arise over the waters of the cofferdam first discoveries are most interesting. The explorers this morning recovered china ware in the officers quarters, identi- fed as parts of the dinner service of the captain. All were found piled up as they had been left by the stewards aft CT the last dinner
 This afternoon searchers found a small ammunition box, such as is GUS tomarily distributed about the decks. This contained a conglommerated mass of six millimetre cartridge caps for the military service rifle and a numb CT of sh ort knife bayonets. The steel bay onets were reduced to almost unidenti- fled masses of rust.
 The disintegration of the bayonets is believed to have been the result of gal vanic action between the steel and brass cartridge caps in the medium of sea wa ter. This gives rise to speculation re- gardlng the effect of galvanic action on portions of the hull still under water on which depends greatly the possi- bility of floating the ship.
 The water level within the cofferdam tonight stands at l. E feet and it is in- tended to reduce the level five feet to- morrow.

 GUNS IN RIVER

Jackson, Miss, June 1S-(SpeeiaD-A few weeks since a,veteran of the federal army spent some time in Jackson looking over the old battlefieds. having been mixed up in the fighting hereabouts in the early sixties. and stated to bunch of old Rebs assembled around the state capitol that he was one of a party of soldiers who hauled the old cannon from the capitol yard to Pearl river, half mile away, and dumped them over the high bluff near the Rankin bridge.
 There were several of these big brass cannon, trophies of the Mexican war. ana Jackson has always wondered what the Yankees" did with them. This was the first intimation that they were in the river. and several patriotic citizens have organized for a systematic search. The channel of the river has never changed at that point, and it is supposed the big guns are still there. The water in the river is about as low as it ever was in the history of the town, because of the dry spring, and the searchers will take advantage of the opportunity

,Jalisco Satisfied

ln Ja1ScO, the people have protested against changing the constitutional gov ernor, declaring that he is efficient and capable and Madero is said to be con- a high post in the state government a revolutionst with the idea of appeasing the revolutionary element.
 The possibility of waiving a general convention of the revolutionary party to nominate candidates for president and vice president was talked of today in po- litical circles, it being declared that in asmuch as the elections of year ago, when Francisco I. Madero and Dr. Fran cisco Vasquez Gomez were defeated for president and vice president, respective ly, are looked upon by the revolutionsts as fraudulent, the renewal of the candi- dacy of these two men through the en- dorsement of the leaders of the conven- tion of a year ago would be sufficient.
 Telegrams are pouring into both Ma dero and Dr. Gomez daily asking if they will be candidates and affirmative ans wers always have been given by both.
 Some opposition to Dr. Gomez as the vice presidential candidate has been ap- parent recently but the same clubs throughout the country who are prepar- ing to support Madero are including Dr. Gomez, according to telegrams received here, and Madero h1mSelf, though aVerSe to influencing the choice of anybody, Is said to desire particularly that Gomez be his running mate. These indications are said to have been made by Madero to political leaders who have been sound ing the opinion of Madero as to the can didates for the next elections. Generas Reyes and President De La Barra, too, are believed to have expressed to friends that the Madero- Gomez ticket would meet with their approval and inasmuch as both men are slated for cabinet portfolios, should Madero win, it is considered at present that this will be the ticket wnicn will be foremost in the field. A move ment, however, also is on foot to place Madero at the head of another ticket with another vice presidential candidate. per haps Governor Pino Suarez, of Yucatan, or Governor Garranza, of Coahuila. but definite announcement of such plans as yet has not been made.

MEXICAN CABINET MAY BE CHANGED Details Carefully Guarded
 From the Rebels MADERO AND GOMEZ Slight Opposition Apparent Against Gomez But Is Believed He Will
 Be Madero's Successful
 Running Mate
MADERO AND GOMEZ

Mexico City. June 1s-Before the end or the present week there may be a change in the-personnel of the present cabinet of President De La Barra. From a reliable source today it was learned that one or perhaps two new ministers may be ap- pointed with the idea of securing in the cabinet more men ''who are in sympathy with the principles of the revolution Just what cabinet portfolio or port folios will be affected is as yet matter which has not penetrated beyond the in- ner official circle, but indications are | that the reason for the change would be the inability of one or two members of the cabinet by reason of earlier affilia- tions to make certain appointments in their departments. busting officers of the old regime. The change. it is said, will hrelieve the ministers, in question Of an embarrassing situation as the wholesale house cleaning of "cientificos' and theii friends has already gone further than was earlier contemplated.
 Francisco I. Madero and President Da La Barra have talked about the proposeo cndnSe put II IS knOWn that they nave not arrived at a definite decision. It is considered possible that the difficulties may be tided over this week and the cab inet kept intact. The president and Ma dero are working in hearty accord it is asserted, and they practically have ar ranged in satisfactory manner the in- stallation' of new governors in all the states of the republic but Jalisco and Vera Cruz.
 In Vera Cruz, although Governor Teo- dore Dohesa has agreed to resign, Ma dero as yet has been unable to find a man for the. post whose principles are of the revolution and whom the people will accept. It is believed that for the interim before the new elections are call ed, some one from another state may be named, perhaps Juan Sanchez Ascona, or Federico Gonzales Garza, close advisers to Madero.

That is to say from the time of the

There is, however. blossoms to be
seen many days after this, but in
this time all the kernels that will de-

and the various organs that function
in this process. / want now to explain
this more thoroughly, and show what

still green in color and nice and

white and moist, SO that when the

for the pollen to grow. The grains
of pollen are yellow, spherical. and
very minute. Many thousand are pro-
