Mr. De La Barra from the ministerial
mansion at Washington for his new

interviews with Francisco |. Madero,
Sr.. and Gustayo Madero.
Tentative peace proposals have
been made and on the administration
side have been acted on. In the view
OF Don Francisco peace is assured-f
not within ten days, then at the fur
thest, within a month. Diaz it Is re-
ported, in a message to the Mexican
Congress. will insist that peace be
concluded.
On the one point, and the vital one,
of why they were so certain that the
tentative arrangement would within
set time result in a sealed compact
OF peace. father and son were silent.
They answered freely every other
question.
When the elder Madero and Liman-
tour met recently. the very meeting
was denied, let alone a discussion Of
terms OF possible peace. 1t was ad-
mitted the interview concerned peace
alone.
Senior Limantour. the great Mexican
financier, familiar alike with the
bourse OF Paris. with Threadneedle
street. with Wall street and moneyed
Vienna and Berlin. responded to the
presidential summons to come to the
United States from Paris and carried
out the orders of his superior, Porfirio
DiaZ.
Unofficially, on the surface at least
he conferred with representatives of
the reyolutionists, the father CT Fran
cisco /. Madero, now in the field and
the head of the revolutionists in front
of Chihuahua.
Limantour agreed to obtain every
concession possible from the govern
ment to make possible formal negoti-
ations for peace.
Don Francisco, the elder, promised
likewise. Limantour moved first. The
resignation of the aged Diaz cabinet
followed his first interview with
President Diaz. In itself il was not
important; as a concession to public
opinion it meant everything. 1t was
the evidence Of good faith for which
the insurrectos waited.
Senior Madero and his son arrived
here. They asserted positively their
belief that real peace is at hand in
their war-rldden land. They also init
mated that formal negotiations would
take place here.

Judge Gamble issued an injunction
against the state engineer and his

last May to close down the headgate
OF a reservoir at Fort Collins, owned
by the Laramie & Weld Reservoir
Company, which impounds its water
from a tributary OF the Platte river.
The state engineer justified his ac-
ton in closing the reservoir head

yides that the owners of reservoirs
shall not impound any water what

No Bulls in Sight.

Chicago, July 6.-CORN-Violent breaks
IN the price Of corn followed today the
bulge of more than cents scored yester-
day Cool weather and rain brought
ABOUT almost complete change of feel
ing IN consequence oats, wheat and even
provisions fell with corn. Everybody was
trying to sell corn, and there were prac-
tically no buyers in sight. Accordingly
the market at the opening dropped all the
way from 2 to 3 cents under latest prev
1ouS quotations. So unanimous was the
reversal of outlook by the trade that no
sign of reaction appeared, and the mar
ket hung Sullenly around the lower level
reached at the outset.
Soaking rains were reported from Ne
praska, Kansas, Iowa and Illinois, accom-
panied by a decided downward movement
OF the mercury. In addition the Liverpool
market showed but little response to yes
terday's big advances on this side of the
Atlantic Moreover a leading authority
was quoted as pronouncing the condition
of the crop excellent barring only that
moisture would be needed to maintain the
standard.
September started at 63s4c to e41kc. de-
cline OF 2Ac to Sc, and for long time did
not rally more than a sixteenth above that
range.
Buying on resting orders finally caused
little further recovery but the swell did
not last The close was steady at 641sc
Tor September, net decline of 25sc.
OAIS-The oats market was exactly like
that OF corn. There was a general rush to
| sell, and no demand of any consequence
news OF probable big crop in Canada
added to the bearish feeling in the oats
crowd. September opened &c to 1ssc off
at 45 cents to 45h cents, and recovered
only to 1850.
WHE5AT-Business in wheat was not
large, but nearly all orders were to sell
support was poor from the very outset,
and did not improve even until the slim

September started at 901sc to 905sc, a loss
OF 1eQ9sc to 1AGlasc and sagged to 90c.
Subsequentlyyy increasing complaints of
damage in North Dakota gave the market
a lift but only for time. The close was
steady with September at 9O14c, a net loss
of 11sG14c.
PROVISIONS-The provisions market
was carried down by the weight of grain
and hogs. First sales were Toe off to sc

GIVES UP Her SECRET
The Maine Was Blown Up From
Within, Says Bixby.

Washington, July 6.-The loss of the
battIeship Maine was caused by the ex-
plosion or her three magazines No
such effect as that produced upon the
vessel could have been caused by an
explosion from without. Such is the
opinion Of General William H. Bixby,
chief of engineers, u. S. A, who has re
turned from a personal inspection OF
the work of raising the Maine.
General Bixby said that portion
of the deck over the magazines was
blown upward and laid backward and
there were numerous conditions of the
hulk which proved this. No explosion
from the outside, said the general,
could have caused the same result.
Nv hat the primary cause of the ex-
plosion was said General BiXby,
never will be learned"
General Bixby does not believe the
bodies of those who lost their lives will
be found on the Maine. He says they
are probably buried two hundred feet
or more from the wreck in the mud.
While inspecting the work General
Bizby prodded around the bow of the
vessel He found by his sOundings
that at least two-thirds of the bow was
absolutely wrecked. The sides had
been practically blown away and We're
buried in the mud This. he said.
