WASHINGTON, October 10.-The De-
partment of Agriculture reports the gen.
eral percentage of the condition of corn
at 91.7, against 900 a month ago, and 90
for the crop of 1888 on the LIST Of October.
The condition Of potatoes is 77.9, against
So. last October; of buckwheat. s0.1,
against 92.1 last year. The preliminary
estimate Of the yield per acre is 1873
bushels for wheat, 11.9 for rye, and 22.2
for barley.
The past month has been favorable for
corn. Slight frost north of forty degrees
injured late corn, but the percentage of
damage is generally very small. The
best development Of maize was in the
Missouri valley. The returns of the
yield per acre Of wheat are in thresher
measurement. The averages for the
principal States are: New York, 1873
bushels; Pennsylvsnia, 1913; Michi-
gan, 14.7; Indiana, M; Illinois,
16; Wisconsin. 14.2; Minnesota, 14.6;
Iowa, 13.1; Missouri, 13; Kansas, 1874 /;
Nebraska, 12; Dakota, s g.; California,

districts during harvest and in the stack
by heavy rains, and is comparatively
light, grading badly, thus reducing it's

PHILADELPHIA, October 10.-The story
of the negro insurrection ON the Island
of Navassa, September 14h, was told
again today by handful of intended
victims of the mutineers. The British
steamship Dorian, which arrived last
night, brought six of the white officers
against whom the attack was made, and
three friendly darkies. Their account of
the insurrection is practically the same
as already told in these dispatches. Two
of the gentlemen show marks of terrible
ill.usage, g. w. Rody having thirty
stitches on his scalp, where it was
torn open by blows from clubs, and
81. A. Jones being likewise marked, be-
side having cuts on his face. There are
1s7 darkies employed in the island, all
being sent there from Baltimore, and q
large proportion of them being of the
toughest class. The survivors consider
themselves very fortunate in escaping
alive.
At the time the insurrection occurred
British brig was lying off the coast, and
DR.. Smith succeeded in getting q note to
her Captain. The latter Immediately
sailed for Jamaica and sent British
man-of-war forward to their assistance.
When the vessel came to the island
the negroes were thoroughly frightened
as the English Captain got out his gatling
guns and threatened to ehell the island
unless every one of the officers was sent
over in safety. They were taken on
board tho Forward on Thursday, after
having been in imminent peril since the
previous Saturday.
Gas we ascended the eteps up the side
Of the vessel" said DR.. Smith, "the
officers paid us the compliment of hang
ing the American flag over the side.
They took us to Kingston, where We
were taken to a clubhouse, enter
tanned royalty, and afterwards put safely
aboard the steamer Dorian. We have
been treated like princes. from the mo-
ment of our rescue. The only occur
renee to mar the pleasure of it was the
death of Samuel March. one of our men,
who was frightfully cut, and who died
on the Forward on the way to Kingston, /"

DYNAMITE GUNS.
Successful Trial of the vesuvius,
Armament

Arm0 ments
WASHINGTON, October 1O.-.Commander
Goodrich, Chairman of the Trial Board,
telegraphed Secretary Tracy this morn
ing that the test of the dynamite cruiser
Vesuvius yesterday was successful to q
degree not anticipated. The guns were
fred five times in seventeen minutes, in
stead of thirty minutes, which had been
estimated as the necessary time to give
that number Of shots. The speed Of the
vessel was up to the requirements, and
even beyond.
The official test of pneumatic guns
took place on the Delaware river yester.
day. 1t consisted Of the firing of five
shots from each of the three guns in ten
minutes, and q three.inch shell weigh
ing 480 pounds distance of one mile.
In distance-firing the projectilss were
thrown from 100 to $50 yards beyond the
required mile. In the test for rapid fir
ing, the contract required that the work.
ing and loading machinery, pumps and
reservoir should enable fifteeh shots to
be fred in thirty minutes from each
gun. In the test fifteen iron
plugs weighing about 527 pounds
each we're fred, and from the moment
that the loading of the first gun was
commenced until the last shot had been
fred, seven minutes and a fraction
elapsed. The air compressors were not
working during the time, although it
would have been allowed, and at the end
of the firing the reservoir contained
enough air to fire eight more shots at
1nile range. Each of the fifteen shots
was fred with volume of air which had
gufficed to carry the service shells one
mile. A pause between the first
and second tests was due to the shifting
of the Vesuvius by the tide.
