SEEDING VELL on
IN THE RED RIVER VALLEY THnE
WHEAT CROP 10 ABOUT ALL j
THE WEEKLY CROP REPoRE1
THREE NIGHTS of FROST, BUT NO
SERIOUS DAMAGE WAS
DONE.
SHOWERS TN MANY PORTIONS.
Rains Generally Light and HardIH
Sufficient for Late-sown Grain,
Grass and Pastures.
THE WEEKLY CROP REPoRT4
SHOWERS IN MANY PoRT1oNs.

The regular weekly crop report fot
Minnesota, issued yesterday, says:
Showers We're reported In nearly all
portions Of the state in the early and
middle parts of the week. They were
generally light, and hardly sufficient
for late sown grain grass and pastures,
but in small portions the rain was
heavy enough to delay corn planting,
The weather grew steadily colder till
Friday, with frosts on the morning Of
May IL, IA and Is, and in, some places
SHOW or hail was mixed with the rain.
Fears are expressed that these frosts
injured the small fruits and apples now
in bloom, but others say the frosts were
too light and that the fruit was not in
critical stage. The cold has retarded
growth Of gardens and termination to
wheat In promoting stOoling and un-
der ground growth. Corn planting has
been general as far north as the north
ern corn limit, being well advanced in
Southern sections, with much finished
and few small pieces up, but these
will probably have such a setback
by the cold as to be oveYtaken by later
seeded fields. Much seedcorn is lacking
In vitality, and poor termination Is
feared. Wheat seeding is nearly fin-
ished in the Red river valley and the
first sown is looking well. The seeding
of other small grains, flax and potatoes
is well advanced in that section. In
other sections everything is in the
ground but corn, potatoes and flax. Pas
lures and grass are generally doing
we'll. Threshing left over from last
fall is being done in Lincoln county.
Garden truck is growing slowly, and
little has been injured by frost.

Spanish army, have joined our forces.
Counting among the regulars, guerillas,
volunteers and all civilians, l am in a
position to assure you that our forces

| was at Matanzas recently and while
there | witnessed a scene that remind
ed me Of the stories of the treatment
Of slaves in Africa. l saw a Spanish
inspeccr of police lash until they bled
feeble, tottering reconcentrados in or
der to force them to do Government
work. Matanzas is full Of starving re-
concentrates. Every night some of
them die on the steps of theaters or in
the hospitals. Except for private do
nations they are absolutely helpless.
On July 18th a ship arrived here with
a cargo of tiles to be used for some
Government purpose. To unload the
tiles the police pressed into service
great number of reconcentradOs. They
We're too weak to work, too weak even
to drag themselves down to the har-
Dor. Some started to work, but had
not strength enough to carry the tiles.
Then it was that police inspectors ap-
peared and mercilessly beat women and
old men for their inability to work.
The Herald" correspondent with the
rebel army writes that he recently
witnessed the blowing up Of a train
with a body of soldiers while crossing
a bridge This explosion was merely
an experiment From the insurgents
standpoint it was highly successful.
The train was wrecked and several
soldiers killed.
