SAN SABA. June 24.-The news
from this section is unimportant.
This is the season of the year when
each one who can, is enjoying holi-
day abroad; many of our citizen, there
fore, are off to different parts of the
country for brief season. Our far
mers, however. are very actively en-
gagged harvesting and threshing
grain. The weather, though, keeps
too damp for thorough work to be
performed in this line. The crops
everywhere, though Eabove the aver
age crops of other years, will be cut
down in the yield on account of too
much rain.
The wool clip Is coming in. The
market for wool is somewhat de-
pressed.
Our representative district has only
one candidate in the field for the lower
house of the next legislature, w. A.
III. Miller, of Llano county. A single
handed race for such a position
should not be the order of things.
We hear of no candidate for the SEN
ate. Where is our legislative mate

Another New York Suspension.
NEW YORK, June 24.-Matthew
Morgan 81 Sons, bankers, suspended.
The suspension is attributed to the
shrinkage values of railroad bonds,
principally Denver and Rio Grande, of
which they are large holders, at high
prices. Edward Morgan is expected
from Europe in a few days. Their
liabilities are mainly due on exchange,
but have no liabilities on the stock
exchange. Members Of the firm are
large real estate owners; the New
York hotel being one of their hold
ings, and it is believed their inability
to realize on real estate is the imme-
diate cause of the suspension.
Friends of Morgan & Sons say the
suspension is good deal like Garri-
sons assignment; that is, their assets
exceed their liabilities and that the
suspension was mainly ldue to de-
cline in securities. The firm was a
large subscriber to the Mexican Ma
tional Construction company. 1t is
understood they held quite number
of Mexican National bonds, Denver &
Rio Grande issues, Kansas Pacific
consols and various New England Sc
curities.
The assignment was made to pro-
tect all creditors equally. The cor
respondents of the firm are the Union
and City banks in London, and A. M.
Heine, Marcard, Andre & Co., and
Hattenger & Co., in Paris. Also cor
respondents in all parts of Europe.
The social connections of members of
the firm are very high and a daughter
OF Edward Morgan is the wife of Au-
gust Belmont Jr., and Henry
Morgan is connected with the
family of Mr.. Brown, of
Brown, Bros & Co., by marriage.

SPAIN.
Cuban matters Considered.


MADRID, June 22.-In congress.
yesterday, the West Indian members
advocated the suppression Of export
duties, the reduction of import du-
ties, the reduction of the expenses
100000 to $24,OO0,0OO, and the ear
ly conclusion of the treaty of COM
merce with America, as the only
means of extrlcating Cuba from tho
economical depression now existing.
The government declared that It
was impossible for Spain to assume
the Cuban debt, and it was impossi-
ble to satisfy Cuban aspirations for
better commercial relations with
America, which would damage the
peninsula trade with the colonies. A
slight reform was promised to facili-
tate trade between Spain and Cuba.
The depression, it was declared, had
been aggravated by the too rapid abo-
lition of slav cry. The reply of the
government has caused much dlscon-
tent among the members.

Mr.. j. T. Tyler, STATESMAN so
licitor, has just returned from a trip
to Llano county. He reports all the
crops in the section visited, as looking
finely. The corn crop was never bet
ter. Cotton is looking finely, and
gives promise of satisfactory yield.
The wheat and oat crops all pretty
well harvested.
Mr.. s. White, of Seguin, contractor
for building the new $4,000 court
house, has made all excavations, and
is now laying the foundation. The
construction of the building will be
pushed rapidly to completion.
Mr.. Tyler explains that his hasty
departure from Llano was not occa-
stoned by his becoming tired of re-
hearsing the many superior advan-
tages of the STATESMAN, but he left
because Sheriff Shaw was after him
with subpoena.
