And out. and I will nnd out. I am now
conducting a careful Inquiry for this
purpoae. More than that. I hope to
dlscorer the reason for thla change In
order that the remedy may be found."
Already the Minister has discovered
tha fundamental demand of the people
Is a rerlslon of the electoral laws. The
Minister admitted that such a revision
Is essential If the growing dlsontent
is to ba checked, and said thin doubt
less would be one of the reforms to
be enacted soon.
The exact character of this measure
rould not be outlined by the minister,
who said It would lnvol a change In
the constitution of the republic and
would necessitate the elaboration of
Innumerable details. Any new elec
toral law. In hla opinion, must ba the
ubject of most careful consideration
and would need to be so framed aa to
tllmlnate the Illiterate voters.
Jtebrl Demand Change.
Although thla proposed change la not
Intended as any concession to the
rebels. It la nevertheless the basis of
this, according to atatementa made re
peatedly by Madero and hla associates.
That any reconciliation can be ef
fected with the rebels Sen or Limantonr
considered Improbable.
Keferricg to his reported conference
In New York with the father of the
rebel leader, be said he hoped through
htm there could be found some means
of bringing about a cessation of hos
tilities, but said he learned the father
now has no Influence over the son.
I am not acquainted with F. I. Ma
dero. continued the Minister. "1 have
known bis father and hla grandfather
fir many years, and for a long time
have held their power of attorney.
Through these men. I had hoped that
the son might be reached, but I found
it hopeless.
'The sort most go ahead aad the gov
ernment haa no alternative other than
to meet his opposition."
One of the first acta of the Congress
which convenes In April, will be tha
consideration of a aew appropriation
for carrying on the war. Whether this
mrans an Increase In the military force.
Scnor Llmantour did not aay. but It
will be recalled that It already haa been
officially announced that Mexico's war
reeources scarcely have been touched

ous act of Japan.

communicate his views directly to the
Emperor of Japan.

Some Animals on Board Old War

Walks Unscathed From Wreck.
WASHINGTON. March 22. These are
some of the things secretary Meyer saw
when he boarded the Ban Marcos be
tween volleys yesterdwy:
The dummies representing sailors In
the fighting top of the ship were un
scathed, d.eplte the great number of
volleys, Bred st the ship. This was a
tribute to the excellence of the gun
pointers' work, as they were ordered to
confine their Are to the hull and turrets.
A raging fire Inside the ship caused
by the explosive shells, which penetrated
her sides and made it Impossible for
the observers to go below the main deck
to ascertain the damage.
A shell somewhat broken inside the
conning tower whose nine-Inch erteel
packet it had pierced on one side.
A number of holes clear from one side
to the other, the greatest damage being
done on the farther side of the ship.
None of these holes, however, was
through the 11-Inch armor belt.
Some dead animals and chickens killed
by the Interior explosions. Some of the
animals, however, were unharmed. A cat
walked quietly out of one of the turrets,
whose base bad been smashed by a
shell.
The further experiments to be made
with the ship will be confined to at
tacka on the armor belt and turrets.
No effort will be made to raise the
Snn Marcos. It would coe several hun-
dred thousand dollars to float and restore
her to ber original condition. She Is
cqnsidered not worth much.
SHOOTING AT TEXAS ENDED
Old Ship Liles Deep In Mnd, and
Career Is Closed.
(On board torpedo-boat Strtngham.)
The ordnance tests in lansior ouuuu vu
the lower part of Chesapeake Bay,
which were begun yesterday, were con
cluded late this afternoon. Only a small
number of shots were fired today and
little additional damage to the battle
ship San Marcos was Inflicted.
After firing was over the officers of
the fleet went aboard the San Marcos
to Inspect the damage. She was deep in
the mud and the water rose to a point
midway between the gun deck and the
berth deck. One shell went clear
through the old battleship, tearing an
open path about two feet wide. One of
the military masts was cut away and
the other riddled. The conning tower,
or battle command station, was badly
damaged.
The San Marcos Is a total loss and her
naval career Is ended.
