HORRIBLE MURDERS In TExAs.-From San
Antonio, Tex, come by mail details of the hor-
rible outrages committed at Eagle Lake, Colo
RADIO county, the central part of Texas. Thir-
teen negroes were killed. The slaughter would
have been much greater but for flight One
poor fellow was torn from the arms of his
shrieking wife and shot seven times in the legs
and arms before killed. This deliberate pro-
longation of his agonywas such savagery as
Sioux delight in. Most of the negroes were
taken from their homes at night, dragged away
from terrified wives and children and shot at
once. Here is paragraph from the letter:
might before last Capt. j. N Baughman for
several years sheriff of Wharton county, was
taken from his sick bed, where he had been
confined for weeks, tied up to tree, for he
could not stand by himself, and eighteen bull
lets put into his body by the same gang of muir
derers who are engaged In killing the negroes.
MT. Baughman kept little store at Eagle
Lake, and had the temerity to openly denounce
the wholesale murder of negroes. Since he
was killed the lying scoundrels who killed him,
or their friends, have started the preposterous
story that he was melting the negroes to riot
and killing of white men. In Short after the
numbering scoundrels had killed some thirteen
negroes and driven fifty or sixty mole from
their homes, they attempt to make it appear
that Baughman was to blame for the butchery.
/ knew BaHghman well; he was a quiet, un-
assuming man, preposssssing in his personal
appearance, and about 50 years of age. He
served in Federal army"

Protection of Protestants i'm Spain.

has consented to receive deputation relative
to the prosecution of Protestants in SPAIN 1t
was announced at meeting of various Protes-
tant societies in London yesterday that the Ger
man missions have not been molested in conse-
quence OF special stipulations made by Empe-
rOr William.
The Times to-day publishes a letter from Bar
ce'ona, which says that during the past three
months the clergy and aristocracy have made
severe attack upon their employees and servants
who dare to worship in or send their children
to Protestant schools or churches. Hundreds
OF pour men and women have thus suffered for

The Wheat Crop Short-America 10 be
Depended Upon.
James Card, a well known writer on agri-
culture, in communication to the Times in
regard to the wheat crop, says: The condition
and quality are all that can be desired, but as
threshing proceeds the yield continues more
Disappointing. The land under wheat in the
United Kingdom this year is 3,136,OO acres.
200 acres below the acreage of 1874 and the
seven preceding years; decline of more than
20 per cent. on the average growth. The de-
cline from. last year is $4,000 acres: but that
s~~N~
creased yield per acre and the higher quality
put the gross product of the present crop at
10000 quarters. Deducting 800, 900 quarters
for SEED, will leave $780, 1000 quarters for con-
sumption. At the present rate of consumption
With us we require for the coming year about
100000 quarters from stocks in hand and
foreign Importation.
This is the fourth year in succession in which
America has been our main dependence. If
that should fail in any material degree, it will
be impossible to fill the gap elsewhere. In
none Of the European wheat exporting coun.
tries has there been an average crop. British
India has largely increased her export, which.
in the last eight months reached nearly five p.r
cent, of the whole foreign supply. With no
quarter from which we can expect Increased
supplies, and with some prospect of diminu-
ton in the American supply, it is satisfactory
to know that we begin with large stock from
the surplus of last years imports The yerv
fine quality of the wheat from all countries
warrants an increase of price, in consequences
of the decreased area under cultivation. We
may before long expect such moderate in
crease on the low price of the last two years as
to leave some profit to both home and foreign
growers.
