EUROPE STILL SHORT.
MONTHLY REPORT SHOWS NO
ESSENTIAL CHANGE.
Deficiency in Principal Cereal Crops
Outlook for Wheat in Austria
lasian Colonies Good.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE monthly
report of the agricultural department
on the European crop situation was
made public Wednesday. The recent
information does not essentially
change the situation as regards the de-
ficiency in the principal cereal crops
of Europe. The outlook for wheat in
the Australasian colonies continues
good, but the prospects in Argentine
are somewhat less bright, owing to
drought and frosts. Accounts from
India are quite favorable. The annual
estimate of the worlds wheat crop
issued by the Hungarian minister of
agriculture gives the following:
Wheat productions, importing coun
tries, S00,0771, 900 for 1897; $50, 639 900
for 1896; exporting countries, 1897,
1,341 ,S06, 10000; 1896, 1,452, 902, 900;
against net deficit of approximately
203, 100000. They estimate there is
a residue of 100000, leaving in
re und numbers 100000 bushels as
the quantity by which it would be
necessary to curtail the consumption
if these estimates prove to be correct.
The markets of Europe will appar-
emily be very inadequately supplied
with grain and barley suitable for
nalting purposes, the complaint on
this score being common among grow
ers in large parts of Germany, Aus
triaHungary and other countries.
The European potato crop is appar-
emily short one. The fruit crop is
also deficient.

FLEES TO NEW YORK.
Miss Cisneros, the Fair Cuban,
Reaches Gotham.

New York, Oct 12-It is authori-
New York city, though her exact
whereabouts are yet unknown except
to few persons. The heroine Of the
sensational adventure with the Span
isn governor of the isle of Pines, es-
capped last Wednesday night from
Cara de Recogidas (house of scrap
ings) where she had been confined for
several months on charge of con-
spiracy against the crown of Spain
and an attempt on the life of Govern
or Berz. An agent of the New York
Journal helped her to regain her
freedom and brought her to New
York.
Washington, Oct. 1.-THE state de-
partment officials make light of the
prospect of any international trouble
following the escape of Miss Cisneros.
They say that presuming that the girl
and her resucer have reached the
United States they cannot be surren-
dered even if claimed by Spanish au-
LuOi 1LlCS MILD OiSuOlOo, pCIi6 q po
litical refugee, cannot, under organic
law, be surrendered, and there is no
clause in The Spanish extradition
treaty that would serve as a basis for
a claim for her surrender. The case
of the Journal agent who secured the
escape of the girl is expressly covered
in an article Of the extradition treaty
between Spain and the United States
which says that neither of the con-
tracing parties shdlh be bound to de-
liver up its own citizens under the
stipulations of the treaty.
Madrid, Oct. 12.-The new captain

Baron Harden-Hickey claims 10

Baltimore, Oct. 1.-THE Sun today
publishes a lengthy editorial in re-
ply to Senator Germans letter which
il part is as follows:
No person Of ordinary intelligence
can read the letter from German to
the Sun which is published in our ad-
vertising columns without at once
perceiving it is a mere campaign
trick, entirely characteristic in its
palpable insincerity of the source
from which it proceeds. If Mr.. Cor
man really wishes to retire from the
contest the way for him to do so is
to retire, not simply to pirate about
bis willingness to sacrifice his per-
sonal ambition for the good Of the
party under certain impossible and
preposterous conditions"

Nine Deaths Reported.

Maysville, Ky, Oct. 14.-An I'M
known man was PUT off the train
here. He was trying to beat his
way to Louisville. Later he was
found near the cemetery unconscious,
taken to the pOorhouse and revived.
All he did was to rave over yellow
fever. He was at once placed in an
isolated barn. Soon a mob of angry
men arrived and determined to burn
the barn with the sufferer. The
owner Of the stable stood off the mob
with rifle. The sick man was visit
ed by physician, who found he was
undergoing chills and malarial fever
New Orleans, Oct. 14.-Wednesday
was a record-smasher in the number
Of deaths in single day from yellow
fever since the sickness was first re-
ported in New Orleans. 1t is difficult
to find cause except in the fact that
concealment, neglect and rebellion
against authority Of the board of
health made it difficult for physicians
to give the proper attention to the
cases. At p. m. there had been
nine fatalities reported during the
twenty-four hours. Heretofore the
largest number of deaths in any one
day has been six. There are 81 new
cases.
