distance east of AguadoreS, near d rail
road station connecting With Santiago
de Cuba. Later an engagement took
place between the American force and
| the Spanish troops sent against the
landing party. As accounts of the bat
tie obtained here. being from Spanish
sources, do not set forth the result, it is
therefore inferred the Americans were
victorious.
There is report that the first class
armored Spanish cruiser Maria Teresa
was sunk by the fire of America ships.
1t is said that only 500 American troops
were landed at Daiquiri, or possibly
Aguadores, the two places being con-
fused in the reports. 1t seems to be ad-
mitted that the fire of the American sol
diers was so accurate that the Spaniards
were compelled to fee from the fortfi-
cations. The Spaniards also admit the
loss of 81 infantry soldiers, severely
wounded, and say one soldier was killed.
1t is believed that the losses of the Span
iards were much heavier In the naval
force, the Spaniards say, the officer Sec
ond in command of the partly disman-
tied Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes,
five sailors and an ensign were killed.
The Spanish sailors wounded. it is as

Later reports show that Colonel Or

Yrizar, of the artillery, and Perez and
Garcia, were only severely wounded,
not killed as first reported. The Span
iards claim that only one sailor was
killed, though the casualties in the

great difficulty in getting the senate to

The probabilities are that a substitute
silver provision will be reported.

Santa Fe N. NJ, June 7, 1885,.
Warmer and dry weather continued
for the week ending with June 8, and
while our neighbors to the north are
complaining somewhat of the wet
weather the farmers of New Mexico
have had hardly sufficient to break the
monotony for nearly II month lrriga-
ton bitches are still full, however, and
notwithstanding the absence of rain
crops in all sections, with few isolated
exceptions, are we'll advanced and thriv-
ing. In some localities, however, the
effects of the drouth are beginning to
be felt seriously, and wheat, oats, corn,
ETC., are fpraatically at standstill.
Rain is very much needed for the
ranges, especially in northeastern coun-
ties.
The first cutting of alfalfa is general
ly secured and, with few exceptions, the
yield is quite satisfactory. Corn plant
ing is completed and in well irrigated
portions the fields are making fine ap-
pearance. Wheat, barley and oats are
advancing rapidly and heading satisfac-
torily. In the lower Pecos valley plant
ers are securing a good stand of sugar
beets. Gardens continue in a flourish
ing condition. Reports from scattered
sections indicate that grasshoppers are
proving very destructive to growing
crops.
In northern sections fruits are not so
promising, owing to the frost OF May 20,
and to the protracted drouth, but in
central and southern localities the indi-
cations are for good yield. Apples,
peaches, apricots and cherries are large,
and full on the trees. Some localities
promise not so large yield, but excel
lent fruit. Peaches are especially prom
Using in the Gila river sections and one
correspondent reports that the limbs of
the trees are breaking down with the
fruit
Reports indicate that stock continues
in prime condition, although grass on
the ranges Is getting short but the con-
tinued drouth threatens to defer the
shearing season.
