Dewey. The wounded Spanish
officers, with one exception are

lines.
An American official at Cavite
writes as follows: If great
bloodshed and destruction come
to Manila, Spain must justly
blame Germany. Manila would
have surrendered before arrival

Chicago, July 2s.-Wheat-Oables
unexpectedly weak, our own Liver
pool on Ssptember being i-2d low
er. and public cables from Is to I'D
on various options. Paris opened 10
to - centimes lower and closed 20 to
30 centimes lower than yesterday
with Antwerp weak. The cause for
this lay In warmer weather in Eng
land and a denial that the French
government would extend suppress
sion of duty which would shut out
some wheat now on the way. An
other large decrease 10 looked for
this coming week, he stories of con-
dition caused by rust and wet have
again been numerous from the
Southwest and Kansas also contrib
uted. The soft wheat of Kansas
seems to have suffered considerable
but the hard wheat has not escaped.

increased q little, showing more dis
position TO market cash.

of the state will have to be overhaul
ed which could only be done at great
expense and should be avoided il
possible.
