A New Laredo, Mexico, special says: A
battle occurred this morning between de-
tachments sent ont from here Friday and
Coyotes bandits. They met about twenty
miles southwest from here, on Sarlonia
Gulch. During the fight the bandits were
largely reinforced, but were completely
routed. One policeman was killed and
two wounded. Two bandits were killed
and several wounded. The wounded po-
lice have just been brought IN ON litters.
Col. Martinez, commanding the Federal
troops guarding this city, has ordered the

Crop Summary.

The following report of the condition of
corn and other farm products throughout
the country is received from Chicago: The
frost, which has prevailed throughout a
portion of the corn belt during one night of
the past week, causes very little damage to
growing grain. Reports indicate that while
the drouth and continued hot weather seri-
ously injured the prospects of corn, it also
accelerated the ripening Of grain, and in
sections of Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and
Minnesota, portion of the crop has sutfi-
GENTLY matured to be beyond danger of
frost. Reports indicate that, as whole,
the corn crop will be out of the way of frost
within fifteen days if not attacked prior to
that time, and large proportion of the
crop cannot be seriously menaced even now.
The general prospects for the output of
corn show no marked improvement. The
tenor of the reports from all the States ex-
cept Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Mime
sofa, continues to predict short crop. In
the four States named prospects continue
favorable for full average yield, while the
majority Of counties estimate yield at
from 45 to IS per cent. Twenty-six Ohio
counties estimate an average of 81 per cent
Kansas, Missouri and Wisconsin give
promise of about one-half the usual yield.
Reports indicate that the pastures are rap
idly. drying up, though i'll portions of Hi
nois and Iowa late rains have served to re-
new grass somewhat. Early planted pota-
toes are generally good, but the late planted
are poor and in many districts fiat failure.
Hogs are generally reported healthy, with
only scattering reports as yet of cholera.
