New York Police Cause respected Cltl'
zen Much Embarrassment.
LONDON, June a2-Secretary olney
has cabled to the United States Ambas-
sador. MIR. Thomas F. Bayard, saying
that W. r. Brown. the passenger who
was arrested at Liverpool on June is, as
he stepped ashore from the Cunard
steamship. AuranlR, charged with the
larceny OF $4,000 in New York, Is not
the man wanted by the American police
and Instructing Mr.. Bayard to ask Ar.
Browns Immediate release. The arrest
OF Mr., Brown seems to have been
another police error He was mistaken
for q man named Walter Damon, who
is the person really wanted on the
charge referred TO.
The English police authorities say
that the blame for the arrest OF Mf'
Brown rests with the New York aus
thoritIes who requested the police here
to detaIn wv. w. Damon, alias w, a,
Brown"
Mr.. James Vaughan, the presiding
magistrate at Bow street to-day dis.
charged Mr.. Brown and explained that
the error OF the English police was
natural one, due to the manner IN which
Damon's arrest was asked for.
Mr.. Brown is said to be very prom-
inent man OF Georgia and well known
ut Macon. Atlanta, and other parts Of
the state. He Is a director OF the
state. He Is u director OF the AraeEieus
National Rank of Macon, and OF the
Exchange Bank of Fort Valley.

the state Of Kansas has produced an
emInently satisfactory crop OF wheat,
From returns furnished from every
county In the state, In answer 60 In
0uirirs hy the Post. the total yield IS IS
found to amount TO about 43.OOO,OOO
bushels. That Is almost double the
quantity produced in the same state
the wear previous II also exceeds the
average Yield Of the last fve years,
which include the phenumenally heavy
crop OF 1892. II is 100000 bushels more
than was received during the season OF
lSgi-9j at the four principal winter
wheat markets and 100000 bushels IN
excess OF the quantity reported al tee
same four principal winter wheat mar
kets since July 1-almOst year aSo-to
the present date.
AS the requirements OF the people OF
Kansas for bread and seed are not TO
exceed 100000 bushels per annuH' II
follows that from her I3,0OO,OoO bushels
crop Of the present year shc can export
10 communities outside OF her own

NEW YORK, June 22-Mr. William
Ryan, Of Richmond. collector Of internal
revenue. who has been In Cuba, was the
passenger on the Ward line steamer
Yumuri. which arrived to-day. He Is
quarantined at Hoffman Island, but will
be released Tuesday morning.
Mr.. Ryan says that the Cubans are
more clamorous than ever for anneXa-
tlon 60 the United States and that the
great majority regard such a thing as
practicable as desirable for both the
United States and Cuba, as the one
solution OF the situation. Mr.. Ryan
says that hostlities will be pretty well
suspended until after the rainy season.
The Insurgents he says, expect the yell
low fever 10 play great havoc with the
unncclimated Spanish troops during the
next two months.
