A Charleston Officer Describes the
Meeting with the Esmeralda.
New YORK, May 20.-The following letter
was received by the Herald yesterday from
one of the officers on board the steamer
Charleston:
"AcApULco, Mex, May l0.-We were lying
at San Francisco in readiness to go to sea for
target practice and to test the mounts and
fittings OF our two eight-inch guns recently
installed at Mare Island when we received
orders on Friday evening, Nay S, to search
for the Chiliau steamer ltata and to capture
her if possible About eight hours after
the receipt of our orders we were steaming
down the coast of California, scanning ali
bays and possible anchorages and circliug all
outlying islands. We touched at San Pedro
on Sunday evening, where we found the
United States steamer Omaha and also the
schooner Robert and Minnie, suspected of
supplying arms and supplies to the ltata. We
left at early daylight and steamed at good
speed down the coast, keeping Il bright look
out for the ltata. Last night we encountered
a steamer showing two lights, one above the
other, but lying dead in the water and APP
parently on the lookout for us. She turned Il
search light on us and we thcn suspecting
that she was the Esmeralud, cleared the shin
for action and prepared for business in case
the ltata should also be at hand. We eX-
be ready. We did not see her. however, and
steamed for this port, where wo thought she
might be repenishlng her coal preparatory to
LAYING her course for Chill. She was not
mere, and we were greatly disappointed hay
ing Travelled so tar TO catch her. About Two
hours after our arrival the Esmeralda came
steaming slowly into port, evidently almost
out of coal. AS we had all the coal lighters
she was compelled to wait until we filled our
bunkers before she could coal up.
"ln the meantime the Pacific Mail com
pany's agent agreed to deliver coal to them at
u aprice of S25 Per ton, but the governor refused
to allow her to takeit. The telegraph was put
into operation and the Central authorities at
the City of Mexico were asked if they would
allow thus.
Both vessels are of the same general de-
sign, but she carries two ten-inch guns and
six sX-inch guns, against our two eight-inch
and six siX-inch The secondary battery of
rapid fire and machine guns does not differ
materially from our own. The Charleston
has perhaps, somewhat the advantage in the
matter of guns and is certainly in the best
condition, as the Esmeralda's bottom appears
TO be very foul, which must affect her speed.
In action, at close quarters, her loss of speed
might not interfere to any material extent
with her turning, etc, but of course we
should have the heels of her. This place is
very hot and uncomfortable and we Shall be
glad 10 get out, even with the prospect Of a
warm engagement before u.s."

CRETE, Neb., May 29.-[Special to The
BEE. The Nebraska weather service bull
lctin for the past month, issued by the Bos-
well observatory, shows that there has besa
an abundance of rainfall in all but the eA-
treme western part of the state. In that por-
tion of the state little east of the middle,
running from north to south, the rainfall
was over five inches reaching a maximum of
sos inches at Oakdale. The extreme west
ern part of the state had less than an inch,
and the northeastern corner only u little over
an incn. The number of rainy days, and of
clear and cloudy days, was nearly normal.
There have been but two seasons since 1873
that a greater amount of rain fell than this
spring, the exceptions having been in 1SS!
and 1885, when there were falls of a very
small fraction of an inch more
According to reports from every section of
the state the outlook for farmers has not
been better since the first sod was broken in
Nebraska. There is larger acreage of small
grain in nearly every section from which re-
ports are received, and corn will also be
largely increased, although planting had just
fairly begun in many parts when the reports

Clerk Buchanan
KNOX CITY Mo, May Or, 1S0l.-County Clerk
Dear SIR: Are the people in your part of Ne
brastn in need? | met Mr.. Langford u few
days ago who was soliciting help for the peo-
pie of Nebraska, and you will confer II favor
by writing me. | think our people will
render some assistance If needed, Yours res
pectfully, W. W. LAuGHLIN
Pastor of Baptist Church, Knox City, Mo-
Il. FL. Langford left this place few weeks
ago under cloud and without giving notice
of his departure to his friends. The suffer
ers from last years drouth have been car9d
for by the state and there is no need of call
ing on the people of other states for assist
ance. Largford has no authority to solicit
aid and as he has the reputation of using
other peoples money without authority the
people of Missouri should not entrust any to
his care as he is only working confidence
game on them.
The crops are in very promising condi-
tion and the people expect to have plenty as
soon as harvest sets in.
