The crop of Moore's Early grape was
mostly harvested last week. 1t was
only about half the yield Of last year,
but prices were better, and the pay per
acre will be about the same. The Con-
cord variety has been greatly injured
in many vineyards, and the yield must
be light one.

There was an unusal large number
of people in town Saturday night and
many of them seemed reluctant to
leave when the eleven o'clock bell
rang. They were noisy in going out,
paying no regard to the peaceful occu-
pants Of the dwellings, firing of pistols
as we'll as making other noises.

Up to last Saturday, Col. Robert
Hill, of this town, had shipped 800
baskets of peaches to the city markets,
and received over 81 900 for same.
The crop is not half through and the
prospects are for a large yield. The
best quality of peaches are To come
yet. Peach growing on his farms,
with the prevailing prices seem like

While the midsummer social season
has been somewhat quiet to what it
usually has been for this season
of the year, the young people
have not let the time lag on without
indulging in some social pastimes, and
in several cases where parties were not
extended by the hostesses, they have
taken it upon themselves to make the
necessary provisions to enter in and
make such social gatherings a success
and pleasure to all concerned. Such
has been the case the past week. We
note the following parties:

tampering with the lock on the maya

was, it is asserted, at once placed in
double irons and locked up in the dun
geon to await Captain Sgsbee's ar

Philadelphia, May 4.-The report that
@ supposed Spanish spy had been capt
ured aboard the auxiliary cruiser st.
Paul at Cramps shipyard is confirmed.
Who the man is Captain Sigsbee re-
fused to state and all that is known
of him is that his father is a Spaniard
and that his mother was born on Cuban
soil. The suspect enlisted some days
ago as an oiler, and almost from the
time of his enlistment was under sus-
picion on account Of his peculiar ac-
tions.
Late at night a marine, who was on
watch below decks, near the powder
magazines, discovered the man acting
in a suspicious way around the maya
zine. The marine lost no time in bring
ing the man 10 ground and a short and
severe fight followed. The guard over
powered him, but not before the sus
pect had received a great cash on the
right side OF his face. He was taken
before Captain Sigsbee for examination
and the captain committed him to the
Brig for the night. A thorough in
vestigation is being made. The st.
Paul is expected to leave Cramps ship
yard soon. On her way to sea she will
stop either at League Island navy

Among Natives At Santiago Compton
tions over Money Values.
The past week in Santiago de Cuba
has seen the furtheiance of reforms
and improvements already under way.
New complications have arisen which
we are called upon to settle. There is
a slow but steady increase in the death
rate.
The question of Spanish and Ameri-
can money and their respective values
continue to egitate the town, and this
will probably last until little Of the
Spanish money remains. Notwith-
standing General Woods announce
ment that Spanish gold would be de-
prived of its Cuban increase Of 6 per
cent on its face value and that silver
was at 80 per cent discount, many
have persisted in considering the
centen, % francs, as worth $3.50, as
formerly, and at no money changers
could one get $40 in silver for s., in
gold. Nine dollars in silver was Of
fered and this only on small amounts.

Leader So 0uutemainn Hssolufi0u Ends
Life Ia Cave
The state department received ca
Die dispatch from Minister Hunter, ct
Guatemala, telling Of the dramatic
death Of General Morales, leader Of
the Guatemala revolution, and the
collapse Of that uprising. Tho dis
patch is as follows:
"GUArEMALA, August IS, 180s.-
Day, Washington. Ocos was occu-
pied on the 10th by the government
forces aud 900 sacks Of coffee and
othos valuable property Of foreigners
saved from destruction. This occu.
patton was aided without force by
Captain Fegan, Of the British gunboat
Leander, acting under request Of the
British, German aud United States
ministers. Morales retreated before
national troops 10 Cuchumatens noun
tainB, where he was surrounded and
captured yesterday in a cave where he
had been hiding fohseveral days, with
out feod and III from hunger, fatigue
and exposure. The commanding gem
eral ordered him removed TO San Mar
cos. Medical aid was summoned, but
be died on the way 10 San Sebastian
last night at II o'clock. This is the
end Of the revolution. HUNTER"
The tragic end Of General Morales,
as reported to the state department, is
but the last of the series Of stirring
events which have occurred in Guate-
mala within the last two weeks. Mo-
rales gathered together a good sized
band along the Mexican border and
made his appearance at the large town
Of 0cos. Here he inaugurated a reign
Of terror. He seized many thousand
bags of coffee and put them to the
strange use of building breastworks
for his revolutionary band. Sorties
were made along the harbor front aud
launches aud other craft burned and
destroyed. One of the most eudacious
acts was the laying tribute upon the
United States and other consular Off
GERS there, in the sum of $1,000.
The condition Of affairs has been re-
ported to the state department from
time to time, and efforts were made,
in conjunction with the Mexican au-
thoritiss, to put an end to the depre-
/ datiOns.

The whole regiment is in excellent
condition, having suffered no casualty
on the trip.
The OutTages which have been com
mitted in Santiago by the Second and
Fifth volunteer regiments surpass de-
scription. The woregiments appeared
to be without control or discipline and
broke ranks shortly after reaching the
city, going through from house 10
house, committing robbery, murder,
rape and arson. The frightened Span
ish and Cuban women fed in ter
rOr before these Infatuated fiends,
who ran them down, committing un-
mentionable crimes.
General Wood is highly indignant
over the disgrace which has thus been
placed upon American arms. OF all
the atrocities which have been
charged to the Spanish troops during
their occupation of the island none
could have exceeded the terrible bru
talities which have been committed by
these two regiments.
Colonel Ray says that his men will
show a different record, because they
are better men, and they are under
perfect discipline.

over Disorders That Have Prevailed In
Santiago.
Dispatches of importance were re-
ceived and considered at the war de-
partment early Thursday. The con-
ditions at Santiago are causing a great
deal of uneasiness and it is believed
that more troops will be ordered there
very soon. Already orders have been
issued directing the Fifth regular in
fantry, now at Tampa, to proceed at
once to Santiago.
The government intends to take
vigorous measures to preserve the
peace and keep order in Santiago and
the other cities which are under United
States control. As further step in
this direction the president directed
that the Twenty-third Kansas regi-
ment (colored) be dispatched to San

patton of Cuba.

Realizing the impossibility of
bringing about the returns for which
we have heretofore labored, with the
