Michigan Crop Report.

The monthly Michigan crop report
says that the average Weld of wheat
per acre, is estimated for the entire
state, 1896 bu.; southern counties,
Is. 16; central counties, 1898; northern
counties, 1857. The figures point TO
a crop of about 30, ZOO, 900 bu. and the
crop has been secured in fine condition,
and 10 of excellent quality. The aver
age condition of corn in the state is So
The condition in the southern counties
is substantially the same as enc year
ago, but in the central and northern
counties it is lower. Oats are estimated
to yield 30 bu. per acre. Potatoes
promise three-fourths, beans eight
tenths, and hay nine-tenths of average
crops. Apples now promise in the
state about two thirds of an average
crop. Peaches are estimated at about
seven-tenths of an average crop.

THE WAR SITUATION.

Gen. Wilson was appointed military
governor of the city and province of
Ponce pending Gen. Brooke's arrival.
The war department has abandoned
Tampa as camp, the troops which
have not been ordered to Porto Rico
or Fernandina TO be moved to Savannah.
Capt. Clark, of the battleship Oregon.
has been invalided and ordered home
to recuperate. Capt. Barker. of the
cruiser Newark, has been assigned to
the command of the Oregon.
1t is now asserted that the proposed
camp at Montaull Point, l.. l.. for the
American troops at Santiago, will have
to be abandoned because of lack of
drinking water.
Six colored non-commissioned officers
of the Ninth cavalry and 25th infantry.
who rendered particularly meritorious
services before Santiago have been APP.
pointed second lieutenants in the two
colored immune regiments.
Acting upon recommendations of
Surgeon. Gen. Sternberg the war de.
partment decided to abandon Camp
Alger, near Washington, because OF It's
unsanitary condition. The new camp
is located near Manassas, Va. about
40 miles south of Washington and near
the old Bull Run battlefield. The
10000 troops at Camp Alger will march
overland to the new camp

Augusti Ready to Surrender Manila.

Hong Kong dispatch say: Admiral
Dewey has received word from Capt
Gen. August that he is willing to sur
render so soon as he can do so honor
ably. 1t is believed that he will only
make show of resistance. Dewey ex-
poets to take the city without losing a
man. Should Dewey and Merritt be-
gin the attack August will propose to
capitulate on these terms: The Span
ish troops to march out with the
honors of war; the soldiers and officers
to be permitted to return on parole to
Spain and an assurance to be given
that the lives and property of Span
iards will be protected from naval at
tack.
A dispatch from Madrid says: The
government has received a dispatch
from Capt.-Gen. August, saying that
he had heard of the disaster of Admiral
Cervera's squadron, the capitulation OF
Santiago and the opening of peace ne
gotiations. Gen. August adds that he
has improvised defenses, but his sup
plies are diminishing. The rifle am-
munition is daily decreasing and that
for the mountain guns is about ex-
hausted. The garrison is enfeebled by
daily losses, and it is only by valor
and endurance of their suffering that
the troops are able to repulse the
enemy. Nevertheless, Gen. August
declares, the government must under
stand that valor will not alone suffice
to hold the city. There are limits TO
physical endurance, the troops have
had no rest and no relief and conse-
quently under such circumstances it
will be impossible to continue resist
ance unless support is received.

Tried to steal Others Glory.

Three young men who represented
themselves to be brave members of
Uncle Sans fighting force-Edward A.
Fladung, and Edward +. Van Dyke
from Bay City, and members of Co. G.,
33d Michigan volunteers, and William
Z. Locke, Co. A, SD regiment, from
Flint-took Detroit by storm, being at
once surrounded by admiring crowds,
to whom they told their experiences in
Cuba. One had scratch on his left
eye which he said was made by a Span
ish bullet. All wore the uniforms, OF
u. S. volunteers and had hardtaek,
prass medals and cigarette buttons al
over their coats. They told about the
fight at Aguadores, how bravely they
had acquitted themselves; complained
of the lack of surgeons and the poor
medical facilities; cursed the Cubans
for poor, thieving, know nothings; but
did not know who Gen. Duffield was,
and were somewhat at a loss when
questioned closely as to the reasons for
getting three months furloughs at this
time. Investigation showed that their
names were not in the official roster OF
the 33d regiment. Dispatches say they
were recently discharged from the
hospital at Camp Alger, where they
have been since the remainder of the
regiment left for Cuba

them being so to So feet to the mile.
One of the first pieces of work TO be
done is now in progress at No. So Cut,
where the grade is being reduced from
