CURRENT EVENTS OF THE WEEK Doings of the World at Large Told in Brief. FEDEHALS REPULSED. ARMISTICE IS NEAR. Mexican Rebel* Propote Which Are Favored. Term* City of Mexico, April 19. -A prop osition for an armistice ponding nego tiations for a settlement of Mexico’s internal troubles was r«*ceiv«*l by th«’ department of foreign relations today from Washington, presumably from Dr. Vasquz Gomez. A reply was return«*! in which it was indicat«*! the government looke«! with favor upon th«' suggestion. The armistice pro;«»sal appeared to be an outgrowth of th«' battle at Agua Prieta and the loss of life and bodily injury in Douglas by the fire from th«1 Mexican side. It points to Jthe dang ers of international complications which might follow a continuance of the fight. Minister de la Barra sent to Wash ington the answer to the proposal made by the agent of the revolution ists. In it he stipulated minor terms, to which it is believed there will la* no objection. It may be assunu*! that before a full agreement is entered into every detail of the proposal will l>e submitted to Francisco I. Madero. Jr. So far have negotiations now gon«1 that it is not ex;>ect«*l Madero will longer oppose the overtures his agents have made for peace. It is believed no time will be lost either by the rebels or the government in concluding arrangemenUs for the armistice, and that as soon thereafter as possible the drafting of terms for It is permanent peace will begin. <*>nceded both sides realize the war is costing too much in money and lives.

HEARST ALLEGED TO BE IN PLOT TO UNSEAT CANNON Grants Pass W«irk is rush«*! on th«' Anient dam preparatory to furnishing water for this season in th«1 lower part of Rogue river valley. Eleven bun- dre«l barrels of cement hav«' been or-1 tier«*! an«l a larg«’ concrete mixer will be delivered at the works this week. This machine has a capacity of 30 cubic yards a day. A professional diver has been em ployed to search the river b«*l for th«' big pump that went down stream in j 4he fitxxl last winter and was lodged in a deep hole just below the dam site. Th«' fishway put in recently by th«'; state is said to be a hindrance to1 building a cofferdam in the progress of the work under way. There was at first some doubt about delivery of water this year to th«' farmers but it is now believed that j all obstacles have been overcome an«l that the work will be completed suffi ciently to pump water to the High land ditches on each side of Rogu«' river. This will mean that th«' dis-1 tricts of Fruitdale on the s«>uth an«l the territory lying in th«' valley north east of town will be supplied. Mexican Rebel* Successfully Defend Their Position.

Five hundred insurrectos un der Generals Orozco and Villa had been instruct«*! by Francis«*» Madero to head off the Casa Grandes <*>ntin- gent and if possible capture and re lease the prisoners. The fight oceurr«*! on a hacienda as the prisoners, shackled together by ropes, and th«' women ami children re fugees, weary from the long tramp, were scatter«*! in long broken lines. The f«xl«rals immediately reapomied with heavy firing nnd placed the pris oners and non-combatants under pro tection. Th«' fighting continued sev eral hours and resulted in sending north General Rabago with 500 reinforce ments. First intimation of the fight was brought here by arrival of rider less horses. So far ns known none of th«' prisoners, among whom are be lieved to be many Americans, were wounded, and none escaped.
