LOCAL WEATHER FORECAST.
Fair tonight and tomorrow.
PROSPERITY SURE.


Washington, Aug. 2T.7-Assistant Sec
rotary Brigham, of the Agricultural
department, today expressed the opin-
ion that the American, farmers this
year would receive in aggregate from
four to five hundred million dollars in
excess of the amount received last
year for their wheat. "This," he said
means much to farmers. They have
learned in seasons of hard time,
through which they have passed, to
economize where they could and be
careful in buying. They will use
this money to pay off their debts, can
Gel mortgages and in making improve
ments on their farms and farm build
ings. This seems like a vast sum, but
statistics sustain the claim"

FIRED INTO A CROWD
Citizens Are Killed And
Wounded By Soldiers.
BECAUSE THEY OPPOSED THE
REFLECTION OF THE Gov
ERN0R OF YUCATAN.
He Ordered His Opponents Supper
tiers Dispersed. The Chief Of
Police Did Not Heed And He
Commissioned His Aids
For The Purpose.

New York, Aug. 27.-Correspondence
of the Herald from Merida, Yucutan,
under date of August II, says:
Twelve persons were killed and sew
eral injured in riot which occurred
in the plaza in front of the municipal
palace last Sunday evening.
The cause of the outbreak seems to
be the prejudice of the police, who
attacked the people because of their
opposition to the candidacy of Senior
Carlos Peon, the present governor of
Yucatan, who sought reelection.
1t is against all precedent here for
governor of the province to serve two
consecutive terms, but dispite this
fact Senior Peon declared himself a
candidate. Gen. Francisco Canton, a
railroad magnate, became an indepen-
dent opponent, and in anticipation of
the coming election, which takes place
next November, his posters were
promptly placarded throughout the
city.
The supporters of Senior Peon took
offense at the notices and put up
posters with the approval of the police
over those of the Independent candi-
date, denouncing him in the bitterest
terms. This caused a great deal of
bad feeling and resulted in several
minor conflicts.
Several parades of the independents
took place on Sunday afternoon and
Gen. Canton's admirers proceeded to
celebrate in front of his residence.
Cognizant of the disorders which had
occurred, Gen. Canton addressed his
supporters and babe them to keep
polite.
The governor, it is said, instructed
the chief of police to fire on the crowd
in the event of any outbreak. The
chief ignored his Instructions because
of a refusal on the part of the COVER
nor to reduce them to writing and as
a result the governor delegated one of
his aides as acting chief of police.
While the crowd was gathered
around the plaza on Sunday night,
Faster Toegen Ramirez, one of the
governors party, threw a giant fire.
oro oI-ar iY, front Of tbo Y,oIioa totiou
1t exploded, and as though acting as
a signal, the police fired on the crowd,
killing one woman and two men.
The crowd Immediately scattered.
News reached the headquarters of
the Colonial guard and a detachment
came out and commenced firing on the
crowd. They killed nine persons and
injured as many more. News of the
riot was at once sent to President
Diaz, and he ordered the arrest of all
the officials connected with the affair.
These officials were incarcerated as
the result of the presidents instruc-
tons. Alvino Manzanillo, formerly
treasurer of the municipality; Ricardo |
Pinclo, Augustin Gamboa and Senior
Moguel, of the governors party, and |
Col. ID. Francisco IrabieD, deputy |
chief of police. Gen. Garcia, COM
nander of the troops in Yucatan, was
placed in charge of the government
here, during the absence of Senior
Peon, who has been summoned TO
Mexico by President Diaz.

Spanish Press Calls Him a ''Diplo-
matte Tourist and Pokes
Fun at Him.

Havana, Aug. 27.-The Diario de la
Marcio calls the mission of Gen. Stew
art L. Woodford, the commissioner to
Spain, failure and says:
Germany and France are entirely
hostile to American Intervention in
Cuban matters. England, skilled like
an old diplomat, is always evasive to
Woodford's instructions and has eX-
pressed no opinion regarding Cuba.
But Great Britain is terrifying Cana
da and preparing agains possible
trouble with the United States, owing
to American jingoism."
The Diario de la Marcia then makes
fun of the American tourist minis
ter visiting Europe and sounding for
eign cabinets and meeting with fail
ure so far as Cuban policy is concern
ed. The paper adds: Russia fol-
follows the French policy, and the
triple alliance will do the same. Spain
no matter whether she is backed or
not, by the European powers, will not
allow foreign intrusion into her af-
fairs and the infatuated Yankees will
surely not provoke war which they
know will only end with total ruin
to both sides. War with the United
States would only raise SPANS patri-
otic enthusiasm and the people would
confront the foreigners as nation
while in the United States it would
prove only a preceding panic to COM
ing catastrophe. We must, however
be glad that the possibility is past of
of an evil which we do not fear,
though we are not anxious that it
should come upon u.s."
Reports have arrived from Cienfue-,
COS to the effect that Lieutenant Jose
Alvares Morales and thirty-six armed
followers have surrendered to the
Spanish authorities.

HURRAH FOR THE G. A. R.
Nobody Would Carry the Union JACK,
Only the Glorious Old Stars
and Stripes

Toronto, Ont, Aug. PA visiting
delegation of $50 members of the
Grand Army of the Republic, from
Buffalo, marched up Yonge street, car
rying the stars and stripes before
them. 1t is a violation of a city or
dinance to carry foreign flag in this
city unless a British flag is also car
ried. A policeman stopped the pro-
cession and. told the marchers Of the
violation. They bought a small Union
Jack flag but not one Of them would
carry it. Finally a small boy was
hired to do that duty and the veter-
ans continued on their way.

BoRDAs ASSASSINATION
viii Have no Effect on The Rebellious
Uprising.

Uprising.
New York, Aug. PA dispatch to
the Herald from AIontevideo, says:
The revolutionists have declared
that the assassination of President
Borda will have no effect upon their
future. The war will continue. The
present situation, they say, is not one
which promises peace in the near fu-
ture, and if DR.. Julio Herrera Y Obes,
who is the most likely candidate for
president, is chosen, the prospect of a
Termination of the war is extremely re-
mote. He is regarded by the Blancos,
the revolutionary party as their mortal
enemy.
Avelina Arrendondo, the military
officer who shot President Berda, re,
itterates his statement that he had no
accomplices. He says, however, that
he murdered Senior Borda to save his
country from bad government. The
fact that he and all his family belong
ing to the Colorados, the party of
which Senior Borda was the leader,
seems to prove that the revolutionists
have nothing to do with the crime.
Congress will assemble at once to
consider the situation. In the mean
time the president interim, Senior
Jose Cuestas, is taking steps to form
a new, cabinet. DIR. Francisco has
been named minister of the interior.
All the leading military commanders
are coming to Monteyideo to consult
with the new administration as to
what policy to adopt against the re-
bells. In the meantime reports from
the field show no decrease in the fight
ing.
Gen. Flores has issued a manifesto
calling for complete union of the Colo
radios against the rebels.

New York, Aug. 27.-The World

says:
Commander Booth-Tucker returns to
America filed with enthusiasm over
his plan to colonize poor people on
small farms in the west. He submit
ted the plan to Gen. Booth in London
and it was commended by the leader
of the salvationists in every detail.
When a reporter asked him about
the various criticisms that have been
raised, he said: Il am prepared to
meet every objection to this plan. /

have submitted it to not only Gen.
Booth, but to many prominent bust
ness men in this country and to the
editors of newspapers who are famil-
lar with the sections where the colon
les will be established and l have yet
to find one who does not give it hearty
approval.
"The Salvation army will undertake
the organization of an association and
will endeavor to secure sufficient
funds for fair trial and to secure
only such colonists as are desirable.
We need $4,000 to start with. We
will secure tract of irrigable land in
Colorado, Wyoming or Utah which
will be paid for in installments.
"For several years l was an officer
of the British government in India
and know the practical results of
irrigation. There can be no question
of good crops each year. We will di-
vide the land into ten acre farms. We
will build a cabin or small house ON
each farm, have the land ready for
cultivation, and each family that
joins the colony will find work in
readiness and a bank account of 5000
to his credit.
THE cOlonists will pay for the land
in installments at the rate of perhaps
81 per week. We believe these colonists
will come from largely populated
countries nearest the colony"
"Why not start these colonies near
the large cities of the east rather than
the west?'
eve need large section of land; we
must get it as cheap as possible and
it must be irrigable. We are unable
to find these conditions in the east.
We have received offers of land near
Pueblo, Colorado. Claus Spreckles
the sugar magnate, has offered to give
$4,000 towards the establishment of
a colony in these lines in California.
The western railroads have shown the
greatest interest.
