Dad weather Tor Wheat.

The Michigan crop report for April
says: March was an unusually warm
month. The fields were bare OF snow
excepting the extreme northern part,
throughout the southern peninsula
during the larger part of the month.
Rains were frequent and heavy, and
the total excessive at many points.
Since April the weather has been less
favorable. The temperature has ranged
low, with heavy, cold winds from the
north. This continued cold weather
with high winds is surely injuring
wheat, but it is yet too early TO esti-
mate percentage of damage The aver
age condition of clover meadows and
pastures is, in the state and southern
and central counties, 95, and northern
counties, 90 per cent. Live stock has
wintered well and is reported in good
condition. The notes of correspondents
indicate that the outlook for apples
and peaces is favorable.

MICHIGAN NEWS SUMMARY.
DOings of the Week Recorded in a
Brief Style.
CONCISE AND INTERESTING.
Legislature Calling for Large War
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES and Crops
Legislative Doings.
Michigan Votes 100000 for War.

Gov. Pingree sent To the legislature
a message calling for war loan APP
preparation of $685. The necessary
bill was passed by the House within
half an hour after receiving it. The
message was in substance as follows:
at becomes necessary in the light
of the history of the last few days to
make recommendations TO the legisia-
ture of Michigan in addition to those
contained in the message from me de-
livered at the opening of the present
special session. Deeply as the fact
must be deplored by all citizens who
have the welfare of the country at
heart, the United States may be on the
verge of a foreign war. If war is to
come, beyond doubt the state of Michi-
gan will lay aside for the moment all
differences of opinion upon political
and domestic questions. 1t will acquit
itself in a manner worthy of its old
time record for loyalty and patriotism.
Without discussing in detail the pres
ent national situation, which is famil
lar to all, would recommend that an
act be passed at once by the Legislature
authorizing a war loan of $780, 900.
Such part of that sum as is necessary
to arm and equip the military and
naval forces of the state that may be
called for by the President should be
made available at once.
1T is further recommended that such
Legislation be passed as shall provide
for the the recruiting and field organi-
zation of the national guard, naval
militia and volunteer militia of the
state in accordance with modern mill
tary experience. The law should au-
thorize the recruiting of national guard
and volunteer militia companies to "a
strength not exceeding $50 men TO a
company, with the necessary compile
ment of officers.
''The acts of the legislature TO these
ends should be given immediate effect. :"

Gen. Lee and Americans Quilt Havana


Gen. Lee and other consular officials,
Miss Clara Barton and her Red Cross
assistants, and over 800 other Ameri-
cans left Havana on the steamers Oil
vette and Evelyn and the dispatch
boats Bache and Fern. Large crowds
of Spaniards witnessed their departure
and Missed and jeered them and as a
farewell greeting yelled, Get out,
Yankee swine" Gen. Lee replied in
a vigorous manner, Tell Gen. Blanco
for me that the Fern is the last ship of
the American navy that will ever go
out Of Havana harbor while the Span
ish flag flies over MORO" Gen. Blanco
had refused TO see Lee before he sailed.
AS the Fern passed the wreck of the
Maine a bottle of champagne and
glasses were produced and Gen. Lee
offered this toast: Here is TO the Off
GERS and men of the Maine, which was
blown up by Spanish mine"
The Americans all arrived in Key
West somewhat the worse for wear, as
the voyage was rough. From the
crowded decks of the other steamers
hearty cheers went up as the launch
from the Fern put ashore with Gen.
Lee and the consular agents. Several
hundred persons on the dock added
their lusty welcome Gen Lee received
orders to proceed to Washington, and
after brief reception he went aboard
the Olivette which sailed for Tampa,
and there a special train was waiting
to convey the consul-general to Wash
ington.
1t is reported that Gen. Lee carried
to Washington evidence that a com
plete system of mines was planted in
Havana harbor by Gen. Weyler. and he
is said to have letter written by Wey
Ter, in which he announced his ability
and willingness TO destroy the first
Yankee warship to enter Havana
harbor.
Gen. Lees journey to Washington
was big ovation, thousands crowding
about his train at every stopping place
and acclaiming him as the hero of hour.
His car was soon filled with flowers
by the ladies, and he was repeatedly
and enthusiastically informed that
thousands were ready to return with
him to Havana to lower the Spanish
flag

A HORROR I'm ALASKA.
Over Three Score Killed by an Avalanche
on Chilcoot Pass.

A tremendous avalanche on Chilcoot
trail, caused the instant death of over
60 persons, including two women, and
a large number of others were injured
more or less seriously. The dead were
crushed Under an avalanche of snow
and ice, which came down from the
mountain side upon the left hand side
of the trail at midway between the
Scales and Stonehouse.
A binding snow storm was raging
all day upon the summit, and, as a con
sequence, many in the vicinity were
making no attempt to travel. Thou
sands of people were encamped in the
vicinity of the accident at the time and
were soon upon the scene, rendering
such assistance as possible. In two
days g. bodies were recovered ON the
outer edges of the slide, and % persons
were taken out alive but injured
The quantity of snow and ice that
came down in the slide is estimated at
thousands. of tons. The last vestige OF
the trail in the vicinity was wiped out
of existence and where il lay is now
mountain of snow and ice under which
are many dead bodies that cannot be
recovered for days to come.

The Capture of Porto Rico Talked OF.

The most important of the latest
actual war developments is the decision
of the strategic board of the navy de-
partment to make Porto Rico the oh
jective point of the flying squadron.
This great rich island is 500 miles east
of Havana, is certain to be the first
Spanish base of supplies, and it's cap
ture would seriously interrupt all sea
communication between Spain and
Cuba. 1t is fully believed by the naval
experts that a naval demonstration
against San Juan would result in the
fall of the island, and this would be.
the most vital blow that could be struck
at SPANS strength In the Antilles
After the war the island could be held
by the United States pending the pay
ment of any war indemnity. This
would have the advantage of not in
any way involving the United States
in the direct solution of the Cuban
problem.

ambassadors of France, Germany, Rus
STA and Italy waited upon Senior Gullon
the foreign minister, and presented a

nor's war message. Kelly, one of the

wanted to table the bill. but il was
passed unanimously and given immedi-

the bonds to be of denominations of

there is raised for them one-eighth of a

to one-half cent. In ordinary times il
is likely that the farmers of the House
would have killed any such measure,
but there was not vote against il,

Both the Senate and House adopted
very eulogistic resolutions on the death
of Hon. John W. Moon, of Muskegon,
who was once a member of the state
senate and later a member of congress.
In the House two of tho recently
elected new members were sworn in
Edmund Brownell, of Lapeer county,
and Carm A. Smith, of the second Ber-
rien district. Brownell voted against
Pingree and Smith with him. The
clerk of the House, with his assistants
and the sergeant-at-arms were voted
the usual extra pay for the
session, and resolution was adopted
allowing volunteer stenographers pay
for their actual expenses in coming to
Lansing to report the proceedings of
the special session. The Senate officers
were also voted extra pay.
Gov. Pingree submitted two more
messages to the legislature. One is on
the subject of correcting tho defects in
the general tax laws, especially in ref
erence to the state tax homestead laws,
and TO secure homesteaders in the lands
taken up by them under the said law.
The second message calls attention TO
the fact that the constitution provides
that the question of revising the con-
stitution shall be submitted TO the peo-
pie every sixteenth year and this is the
year for taking action thereon.
