TIE Cuban revolutionary party

safe landing of the commands of
Maj. Gen. Carlos Roloff, Brig. Gen.
Jose Maria Rodriguez, chief of staff
of Gen. Gomez, and Brig. Serafino
Sanchez. The expedition started from
Two Keys in the Bahama islands,
and was taken in sail boats to sew
eral sailing crafts which conveyed
the whole party. Ammunition and
arms were in some crafts, and the
men in others, thus avoiding any
danger from capture. The expedition
of Roloff and Sanchez consists of 27S
war. They carried about 500 Win
chester and Remington rifles, besides
a number of machetes and revol-
vers. One boat carried more than 500
pounds of dynamite, two small can
non and 100000 rounds of ammuni-
ton. The second expedition, under
Rodriguez, consisted of seventy-five
picked men, all veterans and mostly
officers. 1t carried about $50 repeat
ing rifles, the same number of mach
etes and revolvers and 100000
rounds of ammunition. The two eX-

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 3d.
At the Wayfarers' lodge, Lombard
street, hOmeSick and destitute, are
three negroes who have returned
from Liberia, whittier they went as
colonists some months ago. Of near
ly hundred companions in the eX-
pedition, some are said to have died
of starvation and others are eking
out a Wretched existence in Africa.
The three men are farmers Of JEFF
ferson county, Arkansas. Frank
Shelton, one Of the men, has a wife
and four children there. ]. HI. Tuck
er, another, has a family, and Eben-
ezer Russell, the third, is unmarried.
They say the International Migra-
tion society, of Birmingham, Ala, Of
fered twenty-five acres of land to
every colonist, and used as endorse
ment the name of Bishop H. M.
Turner, of Atlanta, Ga. The sub
scribers were required to pay $4Oi
in advance by installments, and
their passage to Savannah. In re-
turn they were to be given their pas
sage,sfood, and the land on arrival.
The ship sailed in March for Mon
rovia, with ninety-seven colonists,
who were in the care of the society's
secretary. The men declare they
were simply dumped ashore and al
lowed to shift for themselves. A
score of their comrades died Of eli
matte fever, and some, it was re-
ported, perished by starvation. Work
could not be secured and the flesh
/ of dead animals and snakes was
seized upon with avidity for food.
Shelton and his two neighbors saw
no hope for them in the colony
and succeeded in obtaining passage
to Liverpool, and thence to Philadel-
phia. They expect help from Arkan-
sas, which will enable them to re-
turn to their homes.

NEW YORK, July 3O.-The con-

of the striking tailors that 1T appears
probable that the strike will soon be
ended. More than sixty contractors
have signed the agreement. These
are the leading contractors of the

1000 tailors will resume work at their
benches tomorrow. The striking tail
ors gathered in a great mass meet

a remarkable gathering of strikers,
hundreds of women and young girls
being among the most earnest and
demonstrative of the audience, and
women with babies in their arms,
too, whose cries mingled with the
laughter and applause.
Samuel Gompers, the national la

was in line with the movement of
the workingmen all over the eeun-

But Grain Is Generally Filling
Very Well.
Observer Beals in his weekly crop
summary issued yesterday says:
The week has averaged slightly
cooler than usual and been greatly
deficient in moisture. A portion of
the state, extending from the upper
Minnesota valley south to the boun-
dary, would be benefited by more
rain; elsewhere none is needed.
+ Grain is generally filling well, but
ripening rather slowly. Barley and
oats except in the northern half
are pretty much all cut and stacked
They both give, as a rule, large
yields. Barley, however, in the
southeast portion of the state, is
badly discolored and will grade un-
evenly. Considerable early fax has
been cut. This crop averages up
well, but is quite weedy.
The wheat harvest is rapidly ad-
vancing north, and by next week
will be we'll in hand in most dis
tricts. Some smut and rust are re-
ported throughout the Red river val
ley and Mobiles and Lyons counties.
Damage on this account will not be
extensive, although in places con-
siderable impairment has taken
place. Little harm has so far oc-
CURED from lodging, except in the
southeast portion of the state, where,
owing to the tangled condition of
the grain, it's harvest is slow and
expensive. Lodged wheat has gen.
orally risen better than oats or
barley.
Corn has shown the most marked
Improvement during the week, and
that further advanced is filling we'll
Chinch bugs are doing considerable
damage to it in Goodhue county and
Winona county. Without frosts in
August, the bulk of this crop will
be safe.
Potatoes and gardens are in excel
lent condition. The late drouth has
caused the tubers to be somewhat
small in the southeast portion of the
state, but here this crop is of minor
Importance.
Haying is about finished in the
south half, and well secured in good
condition, and a great yield is re-
ported to have been spoiled outright
by the recent rains, especially in the
north half of the state.
The prospects are good for sec

tural half of the state. Pasturage is
generally sufficient, although a few
correspondents report it, as well as
the COWS, to be drying up.
Apples have improved since the

Some plowing has been done in
barley fields, but the farmers are
generally too busy with the harvest
to make a beginning with this work.

WATER FAMINE BROKEN,
Illinois Has All the Moisture 1t

CHICAGO, July 80. - The Illinois

week, together with the temperatures
Slightly below normal, have proven
highly beneficial to growing crops. Sc
we're storms occurred in the Illinois
river and northwest counties on Fri
day, but, while great damage was
done, 1t was not irreparable. The wa
ter famine has been generally relieved,
and springs, wells and streams are

dens, millet and fodder crops are do
ing well, and late potatoes promise
good yield. Corn has made marvel
Gus growth, with a large crop prac-
ucally assured. The threshing of
wheat, rye and oats has been retarded
by the rains, and some damage has
resulted by sprouting and smut in the
shock. Fall plowing is general in
central and northern counties, with
the ground fine and mellow. Fruit
is exceedingly plentiful in all south
ern and central counties, with fair
crops in northern. Trees are bending
under the load of fruit, and early mar
