When the matter was reported to

immediately reported to the chief of

story , a man whom ho took to bo a
Mexican stopped him on the streets
and proposed that he join the 'revolu

was to bo provided , it was said , on a
vessel anchored in Galveston harbor.
The soldier refused.
The chief of police put his force at

the revolution but has obtained nc
clew to his Identity. There is no ship
in port to which suspicion might be
attached.

MEXICAN WAR
MOST GO ON
THE MINISTER OF FINANCE SEES
BAD SITUATION.
A SENTIMENT AGAINST DIAZ
A Great Change in the Sentiment of
Mexico Has Come About , Govern
ment Official Admits Change in
Election Laws to be Made at Once.
Mexico Cily , March 23. Aduiilling
that Mexico Is facing a crisis even
greater than he- had believed , Minister
of Finance Limuntonr said the ad
ministration had no definite plans for
the solution of the problems confront
ing it. It has no nlternalivo but to
continue Ihe mililary progress on
which It has entered.
Notwithstanding the government's
aggressive attitude reforms which are
intended to remedy the alleged griev
ances complained of arc under con
sideration. The most important is the
revision of the electoral laws. The
situation was presented by Mr. Li-
manlour to a representative of the
Associated Press , following a meeting
of the cabinet.
That a great change in the attitude
of the people toward , the administra
tion has taken place within the time
that Minister Llmantour has been
abroad , was a significant admission
made by him. The administration , he
said , was continuing a searching in
vestigation to determine the exact
cause and to find a remedy for the
existing sentiment. There is no dis
position on its part to oppose any
wise reforms which are demanded by
a reasonable public. At the same
time the administration does not pro
pose to accede to demands backed up
by no arguments. In a word , the administration /
ministration recognizes two classes in
the dissatisfied public : one represent
ing the Intelllgent'.but non-combatant
element , and the other , the followers
of Madero.
For the latter the admlnistrallon
has no terms other than those formu
lated at the war department.
Such is the program announced by
Mr. Llmantour as the result of the
conferences with the president and
with other members of the cabinet.
Mr. Llmantour frankly expressed sur
prise at the antagonism towards the
admlnistrallon.
"Just why this Is so , I cannot un
derstand , " said Ihe minister. "I am
trying to find out. I have talked with
a great many people since my return
and I have discovered that there Is a
certain lack of accord between the
people and the government.
"I am told that this spirit has grown i
largely since the celobraUon of the
centennial. I am told that then there
was a marked display of loyalty bul
1 am frank to say that I do not flm !
It so today.
'I do not know as yet how wldo
spread IB this sentiment , but I am try
Ing to find out and I will find out. '
am conducting now a careful Inqulrj
for this purpose.
Ir "Moro than that , I hope to dlscovei
the reason for this change In ordoi
that the remedy may bo found. "
) f Already the minister has discovoroc
that the demand of the people is tha
there bo a revision of the eloctora
laws. The minister admitted tha
such a revision Is essential If th <
growing discontent is to be chockei
and said this doubtless would be on
of the reforms to be enacted soon.
The exact character of this measur
could not be outlined by the mlnlstoi
who said It would Involve a change I :
the legislation of the republic an
would necessitate the elaboration c
Innumerable details. Any now ole <
toral laws would , In the opinion of Iho
ninistor , have to bo the subject of
nest careful consideration and would
need to be framed ao as to eliminate
the illiterate voters.
Although this proposed change is
not intended as any concession to the
rebels , it is nevertheless the basic
feature of their demands , according to
statements made repeatedly by Ma
dero and his associates.
Anticipate No Reconciliation.
That any reconciliation can bo af
fected with the rebels , Senor Liman-
tour considered improbable. Refer
ring to his reported conference In Now
York with Francisco I. Madoro , father
of the rebel leader , ho Bald ho had
hoped through him to find some moans
of bringing about a cessation of hostil
ities , hut said ho learned that the fa
ther has now no influence over the
son.
son."I
"I am not * ncquanted ! with Fran
cisco I. Madero. " continued the minis
ter. "I have known his father and his
grandfather for many years and for a
long time have held their power of at
torney. Through these men I had
hoped that the son might bo reached ,
but I found it hopeless.
"Tho son must go ahead and the
government has no alternative than
to meet his opposition. "

ITALIAN BEAUTY
IS ON THE STAND
MARIA STENDARDO , WHOSE HOME
IS RESORT FOR DESPERATE -
ATE CRIMINALS.
Vltorho , Italy , March ! > : t.--Marla
Stcndardo , at whose home the state
alleges , the assassins washed their
hands of the blood of the Cuccolos ,
was examined by President Bianchi at
the trial of the thirty-six Camorrists
today. Bho Is one of the most inter
esting characters In the oa.so and the
only woman among the prisoners.
The charge against her Is complicity
in the murders and the receiving of
stolen goods.
In the .course of the Interrogation
the accusation was rnadu that she had
bribed witnesses to testify fah'ely in
aid of the defendants. ThU she de
nied , asserting Umt , on the ontrary ,
the carabineers had offered to pay
her ? lt ! for caob witness whom she.
secured to sign a statement prepared
by them.
The woman , whoso defense was a
general diuual of the chai us , Is un
der middle age : : nd retains much of
the beauty that In youth resulted in
many conquests in the poorer class
among whom she was born and later
made her homo one ot1 case and in
fluence both in the Caniorra and in
the official life of Naples.
Her home is said to hu\o been a
resort of desperate criminals , while
her friends included men .in high
places. She is an intimate friend of
Nlt-ola Morra , one of the alleged act
ual murderers of Cuoecolo and his
wife and It Is charged that Morra and
Ills companions went to the woman's
homo following the murder. This ho
most emphatically denied , insistiug
that it was another Instance * of manu
factured evidence.
10 Ferdidnado Do Matleo. who Is ac
cused of having lured Cuoecolo to his
death , was another prisoner question
ed today. Do Matteo , who is advanc
in ed In years , only had fame us an nth-
lute and Is known as a frequenter of
questionable resorts. Ho is illiterate
and according to the police , a vicious
character.
The particular charge against him
is that ho Induced Cuoecolo to visit a
lit lonely spot on the outskirts of Terre
10 Del Greco , on the pretext that they
were to meat to organize a burglary at
of the homo of Commandator Rossi Ro
mano. Cuoecolo fell Into the trap and
found himself In a place whore every
thing had been propanxl for bis death.
Under examination DoMattoo de
nied participation in the crime and
that ho was head of the Camorro In
solo his district. Ho said he hated Nicola
lo- Morra and would never work with him
ny in a crime. They had quarreled yoara
ago , ho said , over n theft in which
they were ongacod.
