Mr.. Brown says he was over in the
Nevada valley Monday, and never since
he has resided in Montana has he seen
such high grass as can be found in the
valley this year. He says the farm
ers are busy haying over there, and can
cut bunch grass hay anywhere. He
was surprised to see moving machines
at work on the side of some hills that
are nearly as steep as the roof of a
house, but where the bunch grass was
knee high. Asked If he thought the
rain last night would do good, Mr..
Brown said he was afraid that it would
not, as he feared 1t would catch a great
deal of hay down.

A SPANISH SYMPATHlZER.
h Times Correspondent Describes Con-
ditions in Havana.

London, July 1.-THE Havana corre-
spondent of the Times, in a letter dat
ed June II, in which he describes events
and daily life there. testifies to the ex-
cellent reorganization and orderly con-
duc of the police, who, nevertheless,
have been denounced by American
journalists as armed ruffians and a ter
ror to the ~law-abiding."
The correspondent expresses surprise
at the tolerance of the authorities in al
lowing native sympathizers with the
rebels openly to talk sedition in the
cafes, just as the American correspond
ents who swarmed V before the
war did, behaving as If they thought
the stars and stripes were already fly
ing over Havana, and yet never were
molested.
After remarking that the .1nhabi-
tants take wal with GOODNESS, since they
have been accustomed to guerrilla war
fare the correspondent says:
THE condition of the reconcentrados
is pitiable, but the mortality is due in
nine cases out of ten. not to starvation.
but to malaria. They have been so
long preyed upon by the insurgents
that they fall easy victims to the dis
ease"

length against the American agitators,
and especially against h American

and foolish war by gross misstatements
and exaggerations intended to infiame
the passions of the Narm-hearted and

largely credulous and ignorant, become
the ready dupes of the a~gitators.
THE American correspondents in
Cuba brought terrible and, l believe.
unjust accusations" he says. against

for American help the rebellion would

suit had not been SO mischievous. The
moral of all is that government by jour
nalism is not UGH a perfect form of
government rs some would have us be-

correspondent says:
