THE state Of Washington is harvesting an
unheard of wheat crop this year. said
James c. Cunningham, of Spokane, last even
ing at the Merchants hotel, land all other
crops have turned out splendidly. Just now
Washington is enjoying a season of great
prosperity. Business is simply booming, and
all the smaller towns of the state are COM
Ing to the front in fine shape. The recent
sale of the LIE Roy mine for $4,000, 600 to a
British corporation has attracted q great deal
OF attention, yet there are other rich mineral
fields which are fast developing as valuable
mining properties. The excellent water pow

build up the city. By this power we print
wheat and our factories, and still a
great amount goes to waste.

OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, June 26. VIA
KINGSTON. JAMAICA, June q, $50 a. m.
Naval Cadet John Halligan. Jr., OF the
flagship Brooklyn, returned on board that
vessel last night with a large silk Cuban
flag. which had been presented to him for
landing the first boatioad of soldiers of
the invading army.
Commodore Schey and Captain Cook are
both vastly pleased at the fact that the
fiagship's boats and men accomplished the
first landing. Cadet Halligan also .eportei
that five of the St. Louis boats and cne
boat of the Brooklyn were damaged.
When 1t is considered that 1850 men and
large number of horses and mules, in
addition to the supplies for the army have
been landed, the record made is reIna -ka-
Bile both for speed and absence of disaster.
The first launch of the Brooklyn. in charge
of Cadet HaIligan, with three boats in tow.
| reached the shore at the head of the feet
| of the small craft, and the Cubans who
were already in possession of the landing
| place handed the flag to the cadet ana he
| gave them the launchs flag in return.
Commodore Schley, commenting tonight
| on the landing said: 1T is the breaking of
| all records in modern history to land such
| a number of men, fully provided with ali
the necessaries. in hostile country. 1 can
| not fathom the lack of Spanish opposition. -
Commodore Schley thinks the Spanish
| naval officers will a last resort, destroy
| their ships by blowing them up.
