SIGN IMPORTANT N|CARAGUAN TREATY Fate of Central American Republics Depend Upon
 Its Adoption

Washington, June 6.-Secretary Knox and Minister Castrillo today signed a treaty providing for the refunding of tho foreign debt of Nicaragua and the ex- tension of aid to that country for it's further material development through American financiers
 The new teraty is largely on the lines of the convention now before the senate here, looking to the readjustment of the Honduran debt; the differences being found in provision enarging the oppor- tunities for bankers to participate in the loans incident to the refunding opera tons; diminishing the measure of con trol to be exercised by the United States government over the future collections of revenue and otherwise alternating the relations between the two governments SC far as the financial relations are con cerned.
 The administration is about to make a final effort to get the senate's approval for both treaties. taking the ground that they are decidedly in the interest of the many Americans who have invested their money in Central America. That the rat iflcation will remove any excuse that Flu ropean nations might have for interfer- ence in the affairs of the American repub- lies and that with properly regulated financial systems involving prompt and honorable settlement of all international obligations, under American guarantees the maintenance of peace and order ir Central America will be assured.
 The state department feels that if il fails in it's final appeal for Senate ratifi cation, these little republics will have te be left to the mercy of creditors ana usurers. .ft

COTTON IS SUFFERING BADLY
 FROM HOT AND DRY WEATHER

New Orleans, June 6.-Unfavorable
 weather reports from the belt put the
 price of cotton up today, the new crop
 deliveries fin the future market late in
 the session standing 1S to 16 points
 over yesterdays close. No great amount
 of excitement attended the days trad in and the old crop months held back ths new crops, however,; were very strong after the first hour of trading and at all times had a good under tone.
 At II o'clock the weekly summary of weather conditions over the cotton country by the weather bureau was
 read out to the ring and 1t proved to be much more bulish than looked for and months then on the market, and particularly the new crop months, had an advancing tendency.
 | october was the strongest month and at it's height sold at 13 .4Sc. the high est price since last winter. July at its highest sold only 3 points up com pared with yesterdays close. Decem- Der at the highest was 14 up. Towards l the close scalpers took profits and the net results of the day were an advance 1 of l to II points on the whole list.

In It's summary of weather condi- tioDs over the belt. the weather bureau said that temperatures during the week ranged from 1 to 10 degrees over the normal and that only light precipita- ton occurred. For Louisiana, the re- port said that the weather had been too warm and dry for farming operations; in Georgia vegetation was said to have suffered from drouth and glaring sun shine; drouthy conditions were reported over the greater part of Texas severe drouth was noted in the southeastern counties of North Carolina; in Tennes- see the drouth was called one of the most prolonged on record, 1t was stated that in Arkansas rain was needed gem orally; in Mississippi the drouth was called severe over the greater portion of the state with excessively hot day temperatures: in Oklahoma tempera- lures averaged 8 degres over the nor mai and 1t was said that rain was urg- entIy needed. These features of the week report were mainly responsible for the buying of the new crop options.
 The opinion among many profession al traders in cotton Is that the cotton crop Is rapidly getting into a critical state and rather unexpected confirma- . tion of this view was received from the official weather returns noted above.

MAINE WRECK
 NOW VISIBLE Great Undertakig of Rais- ing Battleship About
 Completed

Havana. June 6-The first stage of the actual work of uncovering the wreck of the battleship Maine was completed at 5 o'clock this afternoon when pumping operations ceased after the water level within the great coffer dam built around the wreck had been lowered precisely five feet.
 This leaves the portion of the wreck visible above the water practically the same as on the night of the disaster be- fore the hull had had time to become imbedded in the mud There is now vis- ible long stretch of the starboard side of the quarter deck, which is slightly raised owing to list of the after two thirds of the ship.
 When the pumping ceased today the coffer dam nowhere showed the least sign of seepage or leakage, apparently being absolutely waterproof and of the most ample stability. This is all the more obvious because one caisson which collapsed three weeks ago was only re- paired yesterday and Is partially filled with clay and mud.
 The pumping is to be suspended until June 15, when the water level will be reduced another five feet. The work will then be suspended again so that minute examination may be made of all sections of the coffer dam, after which the pump ing will be continued at intervals de- pendent upon the results of the exami- nation of the dam until the bottom is reached, probably three or four weeks hence.
 Intense interest has been aroused in Havana through the realization that the wreck of the battlAhip is actually com ing into view after IS years burial and that the mystery regarding the charac- ter of the explosion is soon to be solved

 Juarez, Mex, June GA widespread anti -Madero plot, with notifications in San Antonio Fl Paso, New York and Mex leo City has been discovered, according to Mexican government officials
 The first purpose of the instigators is said to be the establishment, in the cities nsmed of juntas similar to those of the revolutionary party, and then to carry on systematic effort to hamper Madero and to restore to power a certain political element which was busted when President piaz resigned.
 Secret service men in various parts of Mexico have been said to make arrests in the hope that the movement might be broken up before it assumes any consider able proportions. Among the points where arrests were expected are Priedras Ne gras, formerly called Ciudad Porfirio Diaz. and Chihuahua.
 Abram Gonzales, provisional governor of Chihuahua, announced today he had been compelled to postpone his trip to the capital because of threat on his life He said he had received word that an offer of $40,OoO had been made to pre- Ntnl HIS ItdchlilS NSAlhbohbo. hi9 'AA | formation came from such source that he did not hesitate to postpone his trip l Lust as I was about to start last Sat

 In connection with the arrest of Cruz Key, former jefe politico, who Is in jail here, experts today examined the bomb which was seized when about to be taken into the ballroom where Madero was be- ing entertained the night before he left | for Mexico City.
 | The bomb contained two sticks of dyna- | mite, a fuse and a cap, and was loaded with 11a pieces of rough iron.
 "These plots do not detract from the | popularity of Senor Madero," said pro- visional government official It is only | natural after so swift a change in gov
 ernment that many of the old regime should be reluctant to give up their power and that they should even resort to des- perate measures.
 Before leaving here Senor Madero said | he intended to deal vigorously with all conspirators when he reached Mexico | City.

Madero Closely Guarded

Leon. Guanajuato (On Board Madero Special Train) June 6.-Though a multi tude of people received Francisco I.

 banquet, but for which no lights had
 been provided, while giving no evidence
 of hostile intent. at the same time caused apprehension that a plot might have been planned, and as a result extraordinary precautions were taken today. As the train hears Mexico City increasing care Is being taken. Soldiers on the pilot train. which precedes the special train by about five minutes, are under orders to keep sharp lookout for trouble.
 Frederico Gonzales Garza, who was a
 member of Madero's provisional cabinet
 and Manuel Uruquidy, sub-secretary of communicat tions, arrived early today. as did Ricardo Garcia Ganrados. a member
 of the Mexican congress, from Mexico City. They came to discuss arrange ments for the reception in the national capital

and its authors Is In the hands of the authorities and upon this information, orders of arrest have been issued for three men prominent in the government. who. 1t Is believed, will be companions of Villacenoia In jail before morning.
 Determined that no untoward incl dent shall be recorded when Madero arr rives in the morning or during his stay in the capital imperat tive orders have been issued for the speedy apprehen- sion of all those whose names are con- nected with the conspiracy.
 Tomorrow scores of detectives will move through the crowds, and at no time will ar officer of the law be far from the car riage of the national hero, although he himself be unaware of his presence. Uni- formed police will be scattered along the line of march and soldiers will be within easy call.
 That the conspiracy to kill the leader of the late revolution did exist is now no longer doubted, but the police believed the measures taken will make 1t prac- tically impossible to carry into execution any details of the plot.
 Tomorrow will be observed as a com- pete holiday by great majority of the residents Most business houses will be closed in order that the employees may participate in the festivities.
 Madero and his party are due at 10 O clock. The routing has been changed, so that he will enter the city over the Na- tional instead of the Central railroad. The station and every street through which Madero and the thousands who will be in the party will ride, have been gaily decorated. and flags and bunting fiutter already from four-fifhts of the buildings in the downtown district.
 At the station a brief speech of well come will be made, a tribute will be paid by a group of women led by the wife of Aquiles Serdan, the man who was killed in his house in Puebla when the police raided it on November 20, a chorus of girls will sing the national hyInn and male chorus will sing & song dedicated to Madero. The march will be made by the city's guests. From there he will be escorted to his residence in Colonia Juarez. This closes the celebration until night, when fireworks will be sent up from the Zo- calo.
 Tonight the governor of the federal district Alberto Garcia Grandos issued a manifesto beginning with the words. "The apostle of democracy is at the gates of the city" and urging all Mex jeans to control themselves during the celebration. He begs all to observe the law, to see to it that this glorious day is not marred by single drop of Mexican blood"
