The dreadnought is a elorifed bat
ueship. II is the unit OF the first
fighting line of a navy.
The development of the dreadnought
from the battleship is "a result OF the
great naval battle iu which Japan de
feated Russia eight years ago. Al that
time it was demonstrated conclusively
that the big-gun ship has an over
whe,ming advantage over the old
fashioned battleshp.

Next came the three drcadnoughts

l2-inch guns and a torpedo battery of
sixteen 4-inch guns, or two fewer than
the torpedo battery Of the preceding
ships There are three turrets on the
center line and two amidships placed
diagonally. This arrangement gives
an end-ou fire at bow and stern of six
twelyes and a broadside OF ten twelves.

RISKS ARE REFUSED.
Gold Insurance Written by Other
Than Marine Companies.

New York. July 3l.-Brisk buying
of war risk insurance. covering gold
exports, continued today at the record
rate set yesterday of $4,000 for each
81, 600, 900 Of gold insured. Even at
these figures some of the underwriters
refused to take any more risks for
shipments on the steamship st. Louis.
which sails tomorrow with about
IS, ZOO, 900. s
Their reason for doing this, they
said, was that they had so much on
the vessel already as to make it un-
desirable to add NOR to the hazard.
Marine insurance companies have all
ready written so much insurance on
gold in transit that they hesitated to
take more.
The feeling prevailed that insurance
companies faced situation where It
might become dimmlt for them to pay
losses under adverse circumstances.
Writers Of other classes of insurance
attracted by the high rates offered to
insure gold shipments for bankers In
some cases these offers were accepted.

The last authentic dispatch to the de-
partment was from one OF the conDulo
who declared that Villa had left the

Even officials In the state department
are of the opinion that the resignation
OF Huerta, practically In favor OF Car
rama, through Carbajal. was brought
about when Sir Christopher Craddock
visited Huerta Just before the restgna-
tion at Mexico City.
Cabinet officers who were asked today
for news about Villa and his movements
were loathe to discuss the subject. II
can be asserted, however, ON high au-
thority that General Villa is regarded
as the agency which brought shout the
fall Of Huerta and that he, with his
army eventually would have gone to
Mexico City whether or not Great
Britain had secured the abdication OF
Huerta. Most of the officers think that
General Villa Is in position to dictate
terms to Carranxa and that he il only

WHEATCOES DOWN
Settlement Day Is Passed Over
without Any Failures.
Condition Of Export Trade Re-
spOnsible for Decline.

Chicago, July 31.-Notwithstandin
that today was settlement day for the
July delivery and the worst skyrOck-
citing had been predicted for that op-
ton. there was no trading whatever In
July at the outset.
The opening declines of approx
mately cents at the start were soon
succeeded by further setbacks of 2
cents additional. First trades in July
were at 3A decline as compared
with hast night This fact was inter-
preted as meaning that contracts in
July wheat had been fairly we'll
evened up.
Prohibitive conditions in the export
trade were mainly responsible for the
weakness in wheat here at the early
trading. Another powerful influence
was the fact that the Liverpool market
had receded from a wild initial ad-
vance and at the time when trading
began here showed only compara-
lively small change from last night g
figures. Prices here were also affect
ed by reports that negotiations had
bee1 resumed between Austria and
Russia.
81 Corn FluCtuates.
84 Fluctuations in corn were nearly as
wide as those in wheat. Instead, how
ever, of showing a likelihood of diff
cult deliveries. the direct opposite was
the case.
July corn dropped four cents and
other options also weakened. July
oats and provisions held steady. Open
ing wheat prices were: September,
90; July, 9Ok; December. 95.
July corn opened at II and Sep
