Crop Conditions.

HARRINGTON, Neb., July 27.-tspecial)
Farmers of Cedar county are busy har-
vesting one OF the largest crops of small
grain ever grown here. Both quality and
yield are excellent. Notwithstanding the
last week has been dry, yet corn never
looked more promising. Last night the en-
tire county was visited with a heavy rain
fall, which insures the corn crop beyond
doubt. No wind to speak of accompanied
the rain and no harm was done to small
grain still standing or in shock.
KENESAW, Neb., July 27.-CSpecial.)-

breast which holds a spray of olive in
ono claw and q bundle OF arrows in the
other. 1t is surmounted by a row of thir-
teen stars and the motto &c Pluribus
Unum' on a blue background, and is alto
gether a very imposing emblem.
This is what is known in naval circles
as the presidents flag. Whenever it Is
floated from the masthead Of a ship it sig
niftes that the president of the United
States is on board and it is never used
on any other occasion.

A good outlook for the future of the
hop crop of this year is presented, as
there is good demand for them and a
rather short supply. The market is at
present buying cautiously. They have
done very little purchasing this year,
so far, and it is almost certain that a
good demand will in CONSCIENCE re-
suit. English buyers are now purchase
ing only very choice hops, the price
paid here being about 1870 and about
A8c to the buyer in England.
Sonoma county, CAL, has the honor
of receiving the highest price paid this
year for hops on the Pacific coast, some
Sonoma hops selling for 19c. Some
choice Oregon hops brought 18c in some
cases. The crop Of the coast is placed
at 1856, 900 bales, there being about H.
600 yet left in the hands Of the farmers.
Oregon's crop of hops was 65, 900 bales,
and there are about Zoo bales yet left
with the farmers. This is a decided
improvement over the crop Of last year,
but the crop is still under the figures
given before the hop lice got into the
yards. which will materially effect the
output,

the Spanish gunboats to shell, if the
insurgents effected an entrance. The
foreign residents were greatly alarmed,
and all merchantmen have been ordered
outside the harbor.
Meanwhile the Spanish authorities
have been advised that the Tulisanos
troops are looting, in disobedience of
orders, and cannot be restrained.

warrior and leader, and the head of the
commission elected by the Cuban as
sem bly, to visit this country, died here
this morning, shortly after 10 o'clock,
at the Hotel Raleigh, where the COM

eliminated in his death.
During the II hours or more preced-
ing dissolution. General Garcia was
unconscious most of the time. at in
tervals he recognized one or more of
those about him. In his dying mo-
ments, as all through his busy and ac-
tive life, his thoughts were for his be-
loved country and its people. and,
among his last words, were irrational
mutterings, in which he gave orders to
his son. who is on his staff, for the bat
tie which he supposed was to occur to-
morrow, and in which he understood
there were only 400 Spanlards to COM
bat. Just before he died he embraced
his son.
Rev. Father Magee, of st. Patrick's
church, was called ID during the day,
and was with General Garcia until the
end, administering the last rites of the
Catholic church. Other members of
the commission and Mr.. Rubens, their
counsel in this country. were also in
the bed-chamber when the end came.
The remains were Immediately pre-
pared for burial, and were placed on a
bier in the room in which he died. A

and the head rested on one of smaller
dimensions. The face and bust were

tailed as body guard for the remains.
General Garcia, whose name will
ever be linked with those of other pa
triots who have fought against unequal
odds for the freedom of his country,
has had a most active and varied life,
most of which has been spent in fight

EXPANSION OPPOSED.
Senators Vest and Hoar Desire No

Philip pines.
Washington, Dec. 14.-Disoussion of
two questions. each Of Importance and
! interest at this session, was begun by
the senate at its session today. Terri
torial expansion and the construction of
the Nicaragua canal occupied the atten-
tion of the body duling the greater part
of the afternoon.
AS soon as the routine morning busi-
ness had been disposed of, Mr.. Vest
(Dem. MOI called up his resolution
offered last week, declaring Ii to be un-
constitutional for this government to
acquire foreign territory except for coal
ing stations or some like purpose. un-
less it's intention was to confer state
hood upon the territory and oitizen-
ship upon it's inhabitants. Mr.. Vest
declared it was basic principle of this
government "that the powers OF the
government were derived from the con-
sent of the governed" and maintained
that the federal government had no
authority-either in morals or in the
constitution-to go beyond that princi-
pie. He held that the principle had
been sustained by the supreme court in
various decisions, and that no public
man of prominence and no recognized
tribunal had ever been reckless enough
to controvert it.
Mr.. Morgan opened the debate on the
canal bill with three hours appeal
for action at this session. The whole
country, he said. would be disappoint-
ed if congress did not act. He was
willing to take any measure which
would result in the building Of the
canal. In the course of his remarks,
he agreed to accept an amendment spe-
officially excepting the canal from neu-
trality with regards to any country
with which the United States might
ha at war
