Havana, Dec. 27.-The recent un-
fortunate mission of Colonel Rniz to
the camp Of Colonel Aranguen in this
province calls attention sharply to the
remarkable circumstances that Span
ish officer and messenger from the
American consulate could reach the in
surgent camp in an hour after leaving
Havana. when the troops have never
found it, and causes sharp comment on
the military operations. The camp is
few miles from Spanish fortress.
and its location has been known for
nine months.

OUR ONLY INTEREST.
Government Sounded on It's Attitude
Toward China.

Washington, De,. "a. 1t is understood
the authorities here have been unoffi-
,ially sounded as to the attitude Of the
United States toward the complications
in the Far East, with the view Of learn
ing whether American interests in
China were regarded as sufficient to
warrant any active step by this govern.
ment.
From what source the inquiries have
come is not disclosed. II from Great
Britain, they must have come through
Colonel Hay, the American ambassador,
as the British officials here have re-
ceived no instructions as to the Chinese
sitration.
1t is well understood, however. that
Great Britain would look with favor on
any active step by the United States
which would serve az check for the
advances of Germany and Russia The
British interests in China are ten times
greater than those of Germany, Russia
and the United States, and yet, with
Germany and Russia firmly located on
Chinese soil, Great Britain 10 left in q
sort Of cnl de sac 1t is known also
that the Chinese authorities would well
come movement by the United States,
and that this has been communicated
10 officials here.
Although these soundings, for they
amount to nothing moro as yet, have
not taken official form, they have been
sufficient to gain pretty general un-
derstanding as to the attitude Of this
government. This, in brief, Is that
the United States has no interest in
territorial extension now going on in
China; that she will not land at any Of
the coast ports Of China, as Germany
and Russia have done, and that her
only consideration is TO guard eGtab-
lished American interests in China.

New York, Dec. 24.-Twenty persons
were injured, three perhaps fatally, at
q grade crossing on the Delaware, Lack
awanna u Western railroad. between
Passiac and Delaware, N. j., tonight.
They were in stage which was struck
by train. That any Of them escaped
is regarded as miracle.
All the victims are employed in the
Wothern & Aldrich mill, at Delawana,
two miles from Passiac. They ride to
and from their work in big covered
stage. There were S6 persons crowded
into the stage tonight. The party re-
lieved the monotony Of the trip by
singing, and it was not until the horses
were on the track that the engine was
seen by the driver. The driver struck
bis horses sharply with the whip, and
they leaped forward, and then stopped
abruptly as the gate closed on the other
side of the track. The locomotive
struck the stage almost in the middle,
hurling 1t several feet ahead, then
struck it again, throwing it from the
track. The occupants OF the stage were
scattered in all directions.

Drought and wheat Sowing.

It has been evident ever since mid
summer that American farmers were
inclined to put in an exceedingly large
acreage Of wheat this season. This did
not seem to be confined to any particu-
lar district or to any section Of the coun-
try, but it was general purpose on the
part Of farmers everywhere. events
have transpired, though, I" says The Ma
tional Stockman, (which have largely
curtailed this possible acreage. The very
dry weather Of the past two or three
months has rendered seeding practically
impossible in many places, and the pro-
traction Of the drought has been such
as to cut of all hope in some Of these
places Of getting in crop Of winter
wheat at all this season. In other places
much Of thai sown is getting bad start
for the same reason, so that it looks
now as though the acreage Of winter
wheat for 1898 would be less rather
than greater than normal The same
conditions are reported from some of
the wheat growing countries beyond the
Atlantic, SO that as far as can now be
seen wheat is certain 10 net good strong
prices next year."
