AZCARRAGA'S ABILITY.
General Dominguez Doubts If He
Can Fill Canovas' Place.

PARIS. Aug. 22-General Lopez Do
minguez, who was Spanish Minister of
War in the last ca abinet of Senior Sa-
gasta, is now in Paris.
In the course of an interview he
deeply deplored the death of Senior Ca
nOvas del Castillo. He regards General
De Azcarraga, the new Premier, as a
clever and tactful man, but does not
believe that he Will be able to replace
Senor Canovas. as the dual task of be-
ing the head of the Government and also
the head of the Conservative party is
a, heavy one.
I do not believe that either Europe
or the United States he said, will in
terfere in the Cuban difficulty. Spain
has incalcuIable resources at her COM
mand, and the only thing to be feared
is that political disputes may prevent
the suppression Of a rebellion which
has now arrived a the limit Of eXhaus-

PAYING BACK INTEREST.
Rise in Wheat Helping the Farm
ers on Their Mortgages.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 22.-The
Chronicle" of to-day says:
Reports from the interior to the eff
feet that the rise in wheat and the
number of actual sales being made are
enabling farmers to discharge their
more urgent mortgage claims are con-
firmed by the savings banks and loan
agents in this city.
Cashier Lowell White of the San
Francisco Savings Union said yester-
day: THE farmers against whom
loans are held are sending in the ware
house receipts for their wheat and the
creditors here are making the sales as
rapidly as possible The money re-
ceived is applied to old accounts In
this way many debts which involve
considerable back interest are being
liquidated. 1t is evident from present
conditions that the strong prices now
prevailing will clean up large part
of the back interest on farm loans and
viii enable many debtors to make some
payments on the principal"
It has been fully ten years since the
average California agriculturist or
fruit grower has realized enough from
his crops to put him ahead in his bank
account. During much Of that time the
banks have had to carry their borrow
ers Interest has become delinquent,
and especially so during the last three
years. In one bank in this city interest
to the amount of more than S50O,0OO
has accumulated in this way. Exact
figures are not obtainable from all
banks, but the aggregate will probably
reach from S2.000,000 to $2,5O0.000.
Country correspondents of city finan-
cial institutions report the same inflow
of grain receipts, with increased cash
transactions. Either directly from this
cause or from others more remote, an
inquiry for land has also arisen with
the country banks and some sales are
being made at fair prices.
Many banks have been renting lands.
On most of these the crops have been
so unremunerative that the banks have
had to forego rent during the past three
or five years, but the outlook now is
that not only will this years rent be
paid, but that arrears will be brought
up to date.
The San Joaquin and Sacramento
valleys have been the heaviest gamers
by the seasons advances, but equal
gains are predicted for the more ex-
clusively horticultural areas when
trading in the dried and canned fruit
crops becomes brisk

THE FUTURITY STAKES.
GREAT TWO-YEAR.OLD EVENT
AT sHEEPSHEAD BAY.
Howland Likely to be the Favorite
as Hamburg Is Not
Entered.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-The greatest
turity, is to be run on Tuesday at
Sheepshead Bay. Rowland, the son
of Hindoo and imp. Ricochet, wiM like
ly be the favorite. The horse, however,
who has shown. himself to be unques-
tionably the best 2year- of the
year, Hamburg, is not entered.
If Hamburg were only entered, >
said his trainer, Charles Patterson, to-
day, Il would not have any fears as to
the result. He is the better colt Of
the two. and is in condition to run
the race of his life. He is the best
race horse 1 ever saw, and 1 own Or
nament.
Rowland performed well at Mem
pf1is, and those who saw him became
so enthusiastic that they declared him
unbeatable Rowland had the call over
Hamburg, so let him keep il"
Trainer Patterson nevertheless thinks
Howland has the best chance of the
Futurity candidates to get the money
On Friday last Rowland was sent
six furlongs in 1:15H, the best time ne
has yet made at the distance. This
morning he was sent out for a breather,
but was not allowed to fully extend
himself. Several caught him in lit.
Either Clayton or Wilhite will ride him
Tuesday.
The second choice in the betting is
likely to be Thompson's entry, The HUI
genot and Gibraltar. The former IS
brother to Henry of Navarro, and mas
won two races so far. He arrived 10
night from Saratoga. Gibraltar Is
fresh in the public mind as the con-
qQeror of Frohman and Varus IN the
undergraduate stakes at Brighton
Beach last Tuesday. If the track IS
heavy he will bear watching.
Mike DIVERS Previous has not been
performing very satisfactorily OF lale'
but it is said that Saratoga has Done
wonders for him, and that he Wln Dc
kept up to the form displayed by nln'

Central Trust worked three quarters
over the Sheepshead Bay track TINS

Frohnan will also likely be a starter
but he is a very different horse to-day
from what he was in the spring.
