NEW YORK, March 27.-A case of al

from California the bay horse Ben Ali,

hundreds of experienced horsemen saw
him perform. At the close of the season

CHICAGO MARKET LETTER.

Furnished by the Topeka Grain and Stock
Exchange. Room 3. Columbian Building.
Wheat opened steady at unchanged
prices There was an immense lot of
wheat sold on the opening by local shorts
who bought it back later on at higher
prices. All offerings were quickly abb
sorbed by the crowd that were so con-
spicious on the selling side yesterday.
Serious crop damage reports are begin-
ming to pour in from reliable sources
stating that conservative estimate
shows that in the principle wheat
districts in Kansas fully 80 per
cent of the winter wheat crop is
killed by the last cold wave and with
the present dry and dusty weather and
no prospects of rain in sight anywhere
the situation begins to look very serious
A crop failure this year with only fifty
millions of wheat in farmers hands and
only months supply in Europe is an
item worthy of mention. We advise
buying it for good safe investment.
Corn = Opened firm at unchanged
prices and looked weak at the opening,
causing a big line of long stuff to be
dumped on the market by timid longs
taking profits. All offerings were quick
ly absorbed and on fair buying the mar
ket gradually advanced half cent, fully

The fire is the most disastrous since
the Third ward confagration of October
2Sth, 1892, and the pecuniary loss will
reach $1,O00,OO0.
The following are the latest estimates
of losses:
Plankinton estate, one building $685.

Milo repulsing Colonel Santocilde's
troops at Mauzanillo with heavy loss.
The rumor was current at the Louvre.
but news has simply announced that San
tocilde had met the insurgents
at ManzanilIo AS the Louvre is
the resort of many Spanish officers
from whom the rumor gained circula-
ton in Havana, it is generally credited.
No news of the battle can be gained
through newspapers A Cuban gentle
man says every item of war news is al
most identically the same in every par
ticular in all papers in Havana. The
uniformity is astonishing to an Ameri-
can, but he says it is obtained in this
way:
When the captain general desires to
give any information about the insurrec-
ton he notifies all the newspaper
officials. Reporters are at once sent to
the palace and seated at long table,
they write at the dictation OF q govern
ment official. Nothing but this official
news is allowed published by the gov
ernment in Havana, ne says.
The Cubans vehemently deny the
rumor that this is a race war Conscrip-
ton of Cubans for military duty is being
advocated by the Spanish officers in
Havana, and it is believed that such a
move will soon be made.
About twenty five young men arrived
from Havana, anticipating such move
ment Their parents are anxious to have
them escape such unwelcome service.
Some of them say they hope to make
their way into the Cuban lines from this
country, but they have no desire to bear
arms for Spain
There are about twenty schooners fit
