The Brazilian Cruiser America Is Disabled
by One OF tho Crew, Who Turns Traitor.
New YORK, Dec. s.-The Brazilian
cruiser America, which sailed from
New York for Rio Janeiro on the night
of November 20 for the purpose of
fighting the rebel Admiral Mello's war
ships, Is lying at Bridgetown, Barba-
does, so seriously disabled by the act
of an unknown traitor among her crew
that she will probably be unable TO
continue her voyage for several weeks
A cable message was received by Flint
T. Co. from the West Indies late We'd
nesday afternoon announcing, that one
of the vessels valves, among the most
vulnerable parts of a ships machinery,
had been purposely broken by some
unknown member of the crew and that
the vessel had thereby been so serious
ly injured that a long delay must occur
before she could continue her voyage.
In view Of the latter fact IL was an
nounced in the cablegram that the
Nictheroy, which left st. Thomas,
with the America for Rio Janeiro last
Sunday night, had continued the voy-
age alone. The traitor, 1t is said, did
his work last Monday. The indica.
tions are said to point most strongly TO
the traitor being in the engineers d.
vision, as a person who does not under
stand machinery would not know which
particular part to attack to produce
the results obtained in this instance.

BOLD BANK ROBBERY.

The South Bend (Ind.) National Bank 10
the Victim to the Extent OF Nearly s16,-
600 Robbed In broad Daylight While
the Employees We're at Dinner
SOUTH BEND, Ind, Dec. S-The bold
est robbery in the annals Of crime in
Indiana was committed yesterday
about noon, the victim being the South
Bend National bank. one of the lead
ing banking concerns in the state.
The amount taken was $4,000. No
clue to the identity of the robbers has
yet come to light and they seem to
have made good their escape. From
the manner in which the details Of the
theft were carried out, II is certain
that it was engineered by gang Of
experienced criminals who have for
some time been shadowing the bank
and its officers and had become thor
oughly conversant with their business
habits. Shortly after noon, while
Cashier Campbell was absent TO din
ner, Assistant Cashier Kelley, who re-
sides in the rear of the building, was
called to his front door by man who
said he wanted to see him on some
business.
Just about this time man ap-
preached the bank building on the
north and effected an entrance to the
directors room, prying open the win
dow sash with chisel He then forced
heavy oak door and was Immediately
in front of the vault. The outer vault
door was open, but two-inch middle
door had been closed by Cashier Camp
bell. This yielded readily, the combi-
nation having for some reason failed to
work, and before the robber stood the
counter tray containing between 90, 00o
and $4,000. In the safe pile Of sl4,
900 in gold and many thousands In
greenbacks was arranged on shelves.
The prime idea seemed TO be to take as
much as possible of the money in sight
without arousing suspicion before the
robbers had plenty of time to make
their escape. For this reason the coun-
ter tray with its loose thousands was
undisturbed, the robber confining his
theft to the safe, from which he took
$4,000 in yellow coin, about all he could
carry, and $1,000 in bills. No silver
coin was touched.
The vault was then closed and the
robber made his escape by means OF a
back door before Assistant Cashier
Kelly had again passed through the
building. tits probable that but one
man entered the bank, be being pro
tected by an outside guard, who could
easily have been placed where they
could watch closely through the large
plate glass windows the movements Of
anyone inside the building without at
tracing attention to themselves The
money was not missed until some time
after Cashier Campbell returned from
dinner, and then information of the
theft was suppressed for some time In
the hope that some clew to the robbers
might be discovered.

of one a neighbor has. 1t looks and

Ten counties produced over 100 600
bushels; Leon led with SAT ,645 bushels;
Jackson and Jefferson followed with
about 100000 each; the others were
Alachua, Columbia, Suwanee, Hamil =
ton, Gadsden, Lafayette and Bradford.
CoTToN.-Ofupland cotton Leon county
produced ~ ,5S5 bales; Jackson, 80, 765 {:
Jefferson, 81 $3.50; Gadsden, ,425. The
other counties that produced over 1000
are Holmes, Washington, Wakulla and
Walton. While upland cotton was
grown in seventeen counties, sea island
cotton was grown in nineteen. But the
acreage of sea island was less than one
half that of upland. The total values
were, for upland, $1,213,5 70 for sea
island, $63S, 1855. 1t is a significant fact
that, while the value of cotton in 1889
was about one-third greater than that
of corn, in 1891 it was about one-fourth
less.
SWEET PoTAToEs.-Th popular crop
ranks third in value. In glancing over
the columns devoted to this crop one is
surprised to find that Leon county is
credited with nearly three times the guam
tity of sweet potatoes raised in either
Alachua or Jackson counties, which
rank second and third. The value of
this crop is estimated at $811,061.
SUGARCANE ranked in Importance in
1891. The manufactured products were
1928 barrels of syrup and 1903 $50
pounds of sugar, the value of both be-
ing placed at $3.50, 877. Four-ffths Of
the sugar was produced in Osceola
county. The other counties that p'o-
duced over 10000 pounds, were Ala
chua, Bradford, Columbia, Hamilton
and St. Johns. In the production of
syrup, Jefferson led with 1885 barrels,
followed by Gadsden with 5,O16, Leon
with 4,442, Jackson with $3.50, etc.
PEANUTS held the fifth place in the
year under consideration, their value
being $458, 4O7. Jefferson county was
the leading producer of this crop and
was closely followed by Columbia and
Bradford, large quantity being grown
aso in Hamilton and Jackson.
OATs-This important forage crop is
confined mainly to the central northern
counties, Leon and Jefferson being far
ahead Of the others in the quantity pro-
duced. The crop in 1891 was Az, 1888
bushels, value 1921 ,53S
FIELD PEAS rank sevent b in value,
which is given as 1854, 1874 The largest
number of bushels, Is 223, is credited to
Citrus county. Leon produced 1920
bushels, and was closely followed by
Bradford, Suwanee, Alachua, Walton
and Putnam.
HAY-It is a deplorable fact, but one
that will not surprise anyone who is &C.
Quainted with Flori las weak points,
that hay has to be given the eighth
place among the field crops of the State.
Only 300 tons were grown in Leon
county in 1891, and that is three times
as much as was grown in any other
county. The total crop is placed at 9 ,O16
bales, value, $l20,831.
TOBACCO-Of this crop, so much talked
of, of late years in Florida, l 1881 acres
were planted in 1891, all but 298 acres

Commissioner Wombwell's Report.

Commissioner WombWells Report.
In reviewing the annual report of the
Florida Commissioner Of Agriculture,
Prof. A. H. Curtis, agricultural editor of
the Times Union, says:
Anyone who imagines that the Office
of commissioner of agriculture OF the
State of Florida is a sinecure, will be
undeceived by perusing Commissioner
Wombell's last report, covering the
years 1891 and 1892. 1t shows what
many do not realize, that the commits
sioner has numerous important duties
to perform besides those strictly
pertaining to agriculture, and the report
does not allude to all the duties that are
assigned to him.
Thirty-four pages of this report are
devoted to tabulated statistics of the ag-
ricultural and horticultural products,
live stock and poultry of every county
in the State FOR the year 1891. This is
a rich mine of information. 1t is the
summing up of the results of vast
amount of research. For lack Of space
we can do no more here than quote
some of the more interesin of the COM
mission er's figures.
The most comprehensive statistics are
found in the last two tables, which ex-
hibit the aggregate quantities and val
ues OF Florida products exported in 1891
and of the forest products, phosphate
and tobacco exported in 1892. These
tables include forest and marine pro-
ducts and n manufactured tobacco as we'll
az agricultural, horticultural, and ami
NAL products, and, of course, they do
not represent the products consumed in
the State or live stock rem aiming in the
State.
The forest products are lumber, sawn
and LEVIN timber, shingles, crossties,
cedar. The exports under these heads
aggregated in value $S, $50 in 1891
and So ,23l,775 in 1892. The increase in
value of this line of exports was ex-
Ur6mOlV Suldlls IA larger increase is
likely to be seen in the statistics for the
present year.
The other articles of export that are
not products of cultivation are as fol.
lows: Phosphate, which was exported
to the value of $1,752, 12O in 1891, and
to the value Of So, 848, 7lO in 1892: man
ufdctured tobacco (cigars), $500 500 :
products of the fisheries, namely,
spone fish and oysters, aggregating
in value 50. SIT, us: cattle, hides and
