MADERO AGREES
To ARMISTICE
Dove Of Peace HOVers Over
Mexico Pending Negotiations.
REVOLT IS ALMOST ENDED

opinion Prevails In City of Mexico and
In Washington That There Win Be
Early Peace in the Southern Re-
public.
Members of the peace commission,
says dispatch from Ell Paso, Tex. de-
clared that the revolution in Mexico is
as good as ended.
General Francisco |. Madero agreed
to an armistice, providing the govern
ment would rest all military opera
tions, and a favorable reply from the
City of Mexico is regarded as a fore
gone conclusion.
General Navarro, in advance of Off
cial orders, released the three United
States citizens who have been prison
ers for some time-Blatt, Converse and
Brown-from the Juarez jail. These
men had been confined there for eight
weeks for alleged participation in the
revolution.
The peace ENJOYS met with General
Madero in small adobe house just
across the river from the smelter, and
the latter repeated to them his state
ment, earlier given to the Associated
Press, that he does not insist on the
resignation of President Diaz as essen
tial to negotiations for peace. Thus
the keystone of the arch of opposition
to end the revolution dropped from its
place.
General Madero said all he will in
sist upon, in addition to the reforms al
ready instituted, is that the people Of
Mexico shall have a square deal" as
provided in the constitution.
1t is known that many facts hitherto
unknown to General Madero were i'm
parted to him. He has, it is said, been
almost in complete ignorance of what
was going on the outside world for
more than a month.
Every indication points to peace.

determined action, stirring a dishpan
full of white mixture, in which knives,
forks and china came spasmodically to
the surface as he stirred-all coated
alike with something like strained
flour paste.
She looked at the dishpan with a

Jumping Jack Tars.

The rhythmic jumping of $50 blue
jackets saved H. NJ S. Commonwealth
from the fate of the Montagu when
she ran aground in a dangerous place.
The battleship Montagu was aban-
doned as a hopeless wreck off the Cor
nish coast, but her sister ship, the
Commonwealth, was safely got off by
the muscular exertion of her crew.
The Commonwealth ran on to an
uncharted rock when returning from
target practice, and was badly dam
aged. She was so nicely balanced in
her lodgment, however, that it was
decided, after reversing the engines
had failed to extricate her, to try the
experiment of mastering all the avail
able hands on the extreme aft, and
setting them to jump in unison. The
regular jumping of twenty-five tons
of solidly-built seamen had the effect
of making the huge vessel rock see
saw fashion until she gradually fioated
off with the rising tide. In fifteen
minutes she was afloat, and saved.

Hiqhest Point of Interest.

few days ago from Panama and Costa
Rica, told a New York Tribune report

interested in what they saw in Pana-

In the four days which they spent
there. "The monster dredges, the
great walls Of concrete, the locks and
other wonders of the canal construc-
tion," he said, naturally came first
in order for our attention; then the
cheapness of the duck suits which
we had to buy, the independence Of
the merchants who would not send
them to you and the hospitality Of
the American club will be remem-
bered, but the most wonderful thing
