Between the IhseCt Pest and the
DrOuth, the Prospect LIS Dreary.

Washington, May T.-Coming immedi-
ately upon the severe drain of resources
caused by the Cuban rebellion. the Span
ish people have now to face the prospect
Of an almost total loss Of the wheat crop
caused by the drought and insects.
United States Consul Burke at Malaga
writes to the state department a. a
new insect pest, as destructive to wheat
as the phyloxera is to the grape, has dam
aged the crops In several provinces, while
owing to a severe drought, not only will
the entire wheat crop be total failure
but there will be a shortage OF every
other crop of grain.
The poor are suffering much. and unless
the rain comes the wine and fruit crops
will become total loss, and great suffer
ing and want will prevail throughout the
whole country.

WAS BEATEN BY NORM
J. :. JOHNSON'S COLORS LOWERED
BY THE FRENCH BICYCLIsT.
The Frenchman's Admirers Tore OF
His Sweater, Replacing 1t With
u Tri-COIOred Jersey.

Paris, May 17-Morin the celebrated
French bicyclist, beat John S. Johnson,
the American, in both heats Of the 2O9O
metre race at the Neid0me de Ia Seine to-
day. There was extraordinary Interest
manifested III the race, and there has been
h great deal Of warmth of feeling deyel-
oped between the two principals over
misunderstanding as TO the time and
place of meeting. Both were in deter
mined mood, and tue spectators felt sure
of good race.
The appearance of the two riders was
the occasion of a hearty Outburst Of APP
plause. Again, during the race, johnson
was accorded an ovation when he stopped
10 allow his adversary to change a pune
turcd tire. Upon the resumption of the
race Johnson led, and after several at
tempts to get NORM in front SO as 20
force him to set pace, beth stopped and
leaned against the ratings. NORM there
upon dismounted ana walked Oft while
Johnson finished the course
This match was, however, declared void,
owing to the leaning on the railing. Upon
this the crowd hOoted and Cheered, accord
ing to the direction their sympathies took.
A pacemaker was then provided. john
son again took the lead and all efforts TO
get NORM in front proved futile At the
last bend in the course Johnson spurtei,
but NORM caught him and finished
length ahead.
The second heat showed repetition Of
the tactics in the first heat, Johnson be-
ing forced into the lead. He spurted upon
entering the last lap and gained about 30
yards on his adversary, but was again
caught and beaten about length
The defeat of the American pleased The
crowd, and the winning Freedman Was
frantically cheered by the thousands IT
specta tors. Some Of Morin's admirers
foCked to the track and surrounded him,
tearing his sweater from his back and re-
placing it by a tri-colored jersey, in which
patriotic apparel they escorted him
around the track in triumphal process
sion amid yelling and acclamatons.
Johnson took his defeat in very good
part. though he did not relish the treat
ment that had been accorded him either
by his opponent or by the crowd.
After the race Johnson said to a rep
resentative Of the Associated Press Il
was fairly outpaced on both finishes all
right enough, but | desire TO express my
regret that l was not treated in more
sportsmanlike manner by NORM. After
he had been paced for two laps he flatly
! refused to render me any similar service.
The crowd also pelted me with gravel as
we went along the track"
Tom Eek, Johnson's trainer, said that
the American would do better in a fort
| night. Johnson is also engaged to ace
in Paris next Sunday and Monday, May
"a and %. He only raced today, Eek said,
to sa tisfy public curiosity.
