Dispatch to New York Paper Says Cuba
Is Surely Lost to Spain.
New YORK, March 9S.-A dispatch to
the World from Havana says: Only
few Of the more excitable Spanish off.
GERS refuse to admit that Cuba is lost
to the Spanish crown. Resident
Spsniards confess they can see no other
outcome. In fact, evidences that Cuba
may in the end be freed by Spanish
residents themselves are many
and strong. The calmest minds
predict the end Of Spanish
rule within two years. Some
say not so soon, others say within one
year. The proposition Of Cisneros and
Gomez to buy the island is rapidly
growing in popularity here. Its
warmest advocates are Spanish and
residents hitherto loyal to the crown.
They are the active financial and BUSH
ness men Of the island, the owners Of
eighttenths Of its wealth and its
sources Of wealth.

NOVEL LEGAL QUESTION.

II . Wife Utters SANDER, Must . Husband
Pay the Damages?
KANSAS CRY, Mo-, March s3.-The
question as to whether or not hus-
band is liable for ISLANDERS uttered by
his wife without his knowledge or con-
sent was appealed to the Kansas City
court Of appeals for settlement, but
that tribunal could not agree in the
matter and referred it to the supreme
court Of the state. The question
arose In the suit Of Amanda C. Taylor
against Gilbert Pullen and his wife,
Rebecca Pullen is a farmer in Holt
county and Amanda Taylor was
domestic in his home. Mrs. Pullen, it
is claimed, talked scandalously about
Miss Taylor, and she sued Mr.. Pullen
for damages. The trial caused quite
sensation in Holt county. The court
Of that county held that although Mr..
Pullen did not know of his wife's al
legged slanderous utterances, he was
liable for them, because she was his
wife, and Judgment was rendered
against him. He appealed to the Kan
sas City court Of appeals, with the re-
suit above noted.

government figures, produced one-half
Of last winters wheat crop. Figured
for the entire field the predictions Of
nearly half the correspondents are for
crop as large or larger than that Of
last year. Twenty per cent Of the re-
ports claim that the yield will be half
Of last years crop or even less, many
Of the reports in Illinois practically
suggested partial crop failure. BY
far the worst showing is made by ILL
nois. Over 80 per cent. Of the cor
respondents reporting say that the out
look is poor, none reported good and
only about 10 per cent admit that 1t Is
any way promising.
In Missouri the reports summarized
do not color the situation as being
either bad or particularly promising.
The summarized report is rather on
the fence. There are great many
claims, however, OF yields OF half
crop or less.
The Kansas showing is the best Of
any Of the states covered. Two-thirds
Of the dispatches state that the outlook
is excellent and the prospective yield
greater than for 1896. There are a few
reports claiming total failure and q
few claiming yield barely equal to
that OF last wear.
