YeBter-day It was the police, and to-day the grand jurors listened to several witnesses who have been looking Into the way the saloonkeepers are obeying or disobeying the excise laws.

District Attorney Clarke, who has personally conducted the investigation, this morning Introduced to the grand Jurors Ex-Senator George W. Brush, the Rev.

Dr. Henderson, pastor of the Hanson Place M. E. Church; William T. Read and J.

Mutual Acceptance of Principal Points Practically Agreed Upon, Mexico Cfty, May 17 If the hopes of President Diaz's ministers are realized, an arlmstlce will be announced beforo the end of the dny. Foreign Minister Da la Barra declares that negotiations between the government and the rebels dcvbtless will reach a definite result nt to-day's cabinet meeting nnd which, lu his belief, will mean peace. Finance Minister Llmantour- was not quite so sanguine as his colleague in tho ministry this morning.

He said that tho government had the greatest desire tu conclude a peace agreement, but anions the demands of the rebels are some contrary to the dignity of the government and the President." Neverthless Senor Llmantour believed that peace would be arranged. Capital May Be Cut Off if Negotia tions Fail. Should the presetn negotiations' fall it Is regarded here as not unlikely that the, city will be cut off soon from the out-Bide world. With the occupation of Vulles, a town on the Tamplco branch of the National Railways, yesterday, the rebels now control the railway In' three directions out of San Luis Potosl; to tlia north ns far as Saltlllo in Coahulla; ease to Tamplco In Southeast Tamaullpas, and wvf.t to Aguas Calientes, In the States of Aguas Calientes.

Madero and Cabinet Meet to Formulate Agreement. Juarez, May 17 In response to a request from the Mexican government. Provisional President Francisco I. M.i-dero, and his cabinet gathered 11 o'clock to-day to formulate a final peace agreement which Is to be submitted by telegraph by Judge Carbajal today to President Diaz and his cabinet. A change in the procedure of the negotiations haB been made, but tt will hasten rather than delay the restoration of, peace In Mexico.

At first it was thought that as soon is en agreement was reached on the prtnclpal basis, the naml'ipf. of. three cabinet portfolios and fourteea governorships, an Immediate armistice for the entire country would be proc aimed. There Is practically a mutual acceptance- now of the principal points, but Instead of a point by point ratification, it has been decided to have -'the rebel submit their programme In full for blanket ratification by the government. The ratification will be coincident with the announcement of an armistice.

The signing In Juarez of the agreement. The lu a few day3 by Judge Carbajal and the representatives whom the insurrectos may name will end the armistice and a normal condition of peace will be recognized as existent. The Insurrecto chiefs here will tele graph or send couriers to their constituents in various parts of the republic and it is believed that within a week all arms will have been laid down In the republic. One of the things which may cause some delay in the Bigning of the peace agreement, but which will not affect tht resumption of norn.al conditions as soon as the armistice is agreed upon will be the naming of the provisional governors of the fourteen states. The insurrectos already are endeavoring to get into touch with public opinion in the distant states to select the most capable men for governor.

The insur-rectoB are seeking not only efficient men. but men whose names, when announcer! as governors, immediately will have a tranqulllzlng effect on the people. It Is not believed that an answer to the proposals of the Insurrectos. which will be completed late this afternoon, will be received before to-morrow, and it Is reported here that President Diaz Is suffering from an abscess of the Jaw n4 may not be able to confer with his cabU net advisers until to-morrow morning.
