PREVENT LIMITATION. America, Germany and Japan Hold Off World Powers London, May 19 Limitation of aaval armament may shortly be agreed to by the Kurnpean powers, according to a statement nmde by a high Iintisk gov crnment official, who said: "While Kngland lias no isamediate intention of issuing invitations to a congress for the reduction of warship construction, nevertheless work is be ing done to bring about an understand ing among tho powers to this end. The efforts that are lieing made are inof ficial, nnd considerable headway already has resulted. Within a year ia it very probable the ground will begin to be cleared for an understanding. "Three governments nt present tsnd opposed to armament limitation. They are the Cnited States, Japan and Ger many.

This means that America will never enter any interna- Msaico Takes Step to Improve Sit uation by Adjusting Duties. Mexico, May 14. Liuiantoiir, the sc retary of the treasury, being inter viewed eoucurniiig current rumors about the intention of the government to take some positive aud active in.ua urea to improve the financial situation, limited himself to saying that th uuly measure proposed by the government for any aueb purpose will be presented '.:,'. .. tit "-.v. .-...;, ia abolishing the duties oa th expor tation of hem p. for th encouraguinent of it producer in Yucatan. Th sea ret ry added: "In reality, our economic ituation doe not inspire either ssnety or fears of any elas. Ther has aever be a a period during the economic tringeney abroad and which ha affect ed the whole world, that there ha bean in Mexico a moment of th foar of a panic or anything like it. Moreover, the attention of the government of Mexico to the financial condition i not a thing of today or yesterday. It be gin always at the first sign of an epoch of stringency in any of the money cen ters of the world; and this constant vigilance has never ceased. The gov ernment, watching affairs in the money world, does not believe any extraordi nary measures are necessary in the nreeent situation. The normal con dition is everywhere reestablished, and our banks, following my instructions, have maintained a system of circum spection and caution, limiting their op eration to affairs that offer ample se curities. The solidity of our banks is be yond doubt, and they are in a condition to meet whatever contingency. The fact that business conditions in Mexico are improving daily is very satisfactory to tho government, and our finanriul con nections, though there has never been here grave fear of trouble. We are like ao individual, who suffers an at tack of indigestion, which does not en danger his life of health, but for the moment annoys and takes away his ap petite, obliging him to let bis stomach rest a little. This rest is, in both eases, the only remedy necesaary, effi saeious and beneficial." CONGRESS BREAKS RECORD. Appropriation Now Exceed Those of Previous Session. Washington, May 18.
