The adoption of Constitutional Amend
ment No. 2, permitting counties, like cities.
to- form their own charters by board of If

The Imports OF Rice.

The imports of rice into the
United States for the eight months
ending March l were $4,000 tons,
against $4,000 during the same
time the previous year. Our short
crop of rice at home and these
limited importatlons, together with
a short supply in the East Indies,
owing to the great drought and
famine that have prevailed there,
would indicate a comparatively
strong rice market throughout the
year in this country. While our
home crops Of rice have not been
large, those planters who have had
rice to sell have done better than
for several years past. and we an
ticipate that 1898 will be another
red letter year to those who may be
fortunate enough in rice planting
in 1898 to secure large crops

TREACHERY.

Hong Kong, Nav 10. A fresh
example OF Spanish treachery seems
to have come to light. 1t IS said
here that the priests ana Sisters Of
Charity OF the Cavite hospital. in q
procession. bearing crosses. etc,
petitioned Rear Admiral De wey cot
to massacre the sick and wounded,
which, naturally he did not do.
The Spaniards, it is asserted,
thereupon thanked the Americans
for their humanity and rera id them
by informing them Of . narrow chan
mel which, thew SAID, was not mined
while the broad channel, they ex-
planned. was fully mined. An in
vestigation upon tie part Of the
Americans. ho.ever, revealed the
contrary to t5e the case, and the
mines were blown up by the sailors
OF the q .merican feet.
The above news has not been con
hrUled, and is probably . canard
or iginating in the mind Of some sem
sational newspaper correspondent.

ON TO CUBA!

The Washington Post, of last
Monday, says:
Between 60. 900 aud $4,000 will
be landed on Cuban soil at once.
They will wear the uniform of
the United States and they will
not return until they have defeated
the Spanish forces on the island and
the American flag floats as.proudly
over Havana as it does over the
ruins of the Cavite fortress in
Manila harbor. This is the idea
of the military advisors of the adj
ministration, and the President
has approved the plans.
The first section of the army to
invade Cuba will be the $4,000 or
Is, 900 troops that are now assem-
bled at New Orleans and Tampa.
They are all regulars and most of
them are men who have seen actual
fighting on the plains. They are
seasoned, disciplined, effective.
They will be followed at once by
another army of $1,000 volunteers,
who will be concentrated at South
ern ports as quickly as the trains
can carry them, and will be trans
ported as fast as the necessary ships
can be collected. 1t is estimated
that it will take at last 800 vessels
to carry this immense army to
Cuba. Nearly everything that
floats has already been secured by
the government, and last night the
wires we're hot in all directions di-
recting contracts to be closed i'm
mediately in all the seaport towns.
Other details of the great ex-
petition have been arranged.
Within forty-eight hours there will
be 1000 wagons at Tampa and
1000 mules. Several hundred
ambulances will also be hurried to
Tampa. They may be needed.
