II the western papers know what they
are talking about this years wheat crop
years phenomenal crop. The cold, wet
weather of the spring made the young
plants take deep root in consequence,
when the time came for the stalks to APP
pear they were strong and vigorous, while
the sturdy roots are guarantee for equally
vigorous heads and plump grains. Thus it
is that the - states which last year pro-
duced $40, ,0O0,000 bushels are this year
quite certain to produce over 100000 600
bushels. With wheat somewhere above a
dollar bushel, it is not hard to see that
this means a magnificent accession to the
wealth of the country"

The navy department has received and
made public its first mail advices from Ad-
miral Dewey since he reached Manila.
The Admiral's letter simply confirms his
account by telegraph of the battle at Ma.
Mia and gives the facts more in detail.
Nine Spanish ships were sunk, eight were
burnt and several small boats were captur-
ed. The Admiral does not know the eX-
tent of the Spanish loss in men, but il
must have been very heavy. On our side
not man was killed, and only seven were
very slightly wounded. Several of the
vessels were struck and even penetrated,
but the damage was of the slightest, and
the squadron is in as good condition now
as before the battle The special feature
of the Admirars letter is the high praise
which he bestows on the captains of the
ships and on the other officers and men.

Admiral sampson on Hobson's Brave


Admiral Sampson wrote a report to the
navy department on the sinking of the
Merrmac in the Santiago channel on the
day of the successful accomplishment of
the dangerous task. He says that after
deciding to obstruct the channel in this
way he called on Naval Constructor Hob
son for his professional opinion and that
young officer a; once entered on study of
the problem with great enthusiasm.
After several days he presented a solu-
tion which II was believed would make the
project successful, and the plans were then
arranged in detail The ship was made
ready, with automatic arrangements for
releasing the anchors at the right moment
and for causing the explosion to sink her
across the channel The commander of
the Merrimac was very reluctant to relin-
quish the command to another person,
but Admiral Sampson thought it the only
safe way to allow Hobson to carry his own
plans into effect in person, since he begged
to be allowed to take the risk.
The Admiral adds:
81 cannot myself too earnestly express
my appreciation of the conduct of Mr..
Hobson and his gallant crew. l venture
to say that more brave and daring thing
has not been done since Gushing blew up
the Albemarle. l am sure you will offer
a suitable professional reward to Mr.. Hob
son and his companions"
Mention is also made of the gallantry of
Naval Cadet Powell who followed the
Merrimac into the channel in a steam
launch, under the deadly fire of the Span
ish batteries, to rescue the men from the
Merrimac If possible.

The most interesting feature in connec-

The funds are to be divided, the normal
