A Dewey Pistol.

Joseph A. Franklin, a former
Pine Bluff boy, is the inventor of a
toy which will no doubt be in great
demand The toy is a Dewey pis-
tol, attached to the pistol is flag
staff, upon which are the flags of
the United States and Spain. The
Spanish flag is at the top, but when
the pistol is fired the Spanish flag
falls and Old Glory goes to the top.
The pistol has been patented and a
New York factory is turning them
out by the thousands. At this day
of Dewey enthusiasm the pistol
will be a good seller and Mr.. Frank
lin will be well repaid for the time
spent in evolving the idea in his

ARE FIGHTING AT MANILA.
Aguinaldo, the Insurgent General Is
Making 1t Hot For the Land
Forces at Manila.

London, June 8-A dispatch to
the Times from Manila, says:
zone native regiment deserted,
after killing its officers and massa-
creing a company of Spanish infan-
try. The rebels and ex-rebels on
both sides have been shot because
they were suspected of treacherY
to their respective generals. The
Spaniards are endeavoring by every
means to win over the rebels, who
are attracted by promises of par
don and high offices, But Aguin-
aldo's attraction is stronger. He
has completely ounded Manila
by cutting the railroads and hold
ing the rivers, by which food had
previously reached the city. If the
city is not starved into surrender
the rebels may carry it, having
now an increasing number of rifles
and field guns,
Aguinaldos treatment of the
Spanish prisoners is exemplary.
Few excesses are reported, except
where priests were mutilated before
being killed.
Admiral Dewey is not assisting
the rebels, but it is probably due
to him that Aguinaldo's forces
avoid excesses.
Foreigners, with the exception
of the French nuns, remain il
Manila, but are ready to board th'
refuge steamers as soon as thu
necessity arrives,

The strategy board met this
morning in front of the bulletin
board at the Palace Drug store.
They discussed the shelling of San
tiago forts situated at the mouth
of the bay. They we're all unani-
nous in praise of Hobson for sink
ing a ship, but were of the opinion
that he made a mistake in sinking
an American ship, instead of one
belonging to Spain, 1t was recon-
mended that he be commended for
his bravery, but reprem auded for
the mistake he did. The board
thought inasmuch as our ships
could not get into Santiago bay or
the Spaniards get out, that our
land forces should be landed and
marched down each side of the
channel and destroy the forts, and
then our ships could iaise the Mer
rimac, get by it, and go in after
the Spaniards, while our land forces
with heavy ordinance, mounted on
the hills above the bay, pour a
murderous fire into the fleet. The
board was so much pleased at this,
that they ordered charts drawn up
and forwarded to Sampson. The
Spaniards will get licked now sure.
The United States department of
agriculture for Arkansas, which
sends out bulletins weekly of the
conditions of crops for our state by
sections, has this to say of the
Southwest section:
There has been too much rain
recently for the bottom lands and
the heavy black lands of this section
but the weather has been Just right
for hill crops.
Wheat harvest is completed and
oats harvest has commenced; oats
promise a fine yield. Cotton is now
about all chopped out, the stand is
generally good; in number of To-
calities cotton is badly in the grass.
Corn is being laid by in good condi-
ton. Irish potatoes turned out
well. Very large acreage being put
in sweet potatoes. Fruit turning
out somewhat better than was
expected. Small fruits, except
plums, are failure but there will be
plenty of apples and peaches.
With continuance of warm, dry
weather all crops will come out al
right in this section.

Very little of the new business seen,
in proportion to the aggregate, has
been caused by the war, says Dun's
Rerielc. Not any, discoverable by or
binary tests, has been prevented by
war. No comparison is possible with
the prostHation and suffering in Span
ish ara mining districts. In two
months tsis country has practically
destroyed two Spanish fleets, and
landed ~ . armies at Manila and San
tiago, With no considerable loss. 1t
has gained beyond calculation in rela-
tive Importance among other nations
by reason of its quickly exerted
power. Neither has the collapse of
the wheat speculation caused the ex-
pected decrease of shipment, for ex-
ports continue remarkably large.
Gold comes or does not come as we
want it, the worlds markets being
evidently al our command. An offer
ing of bonds by the government
brings out at the start bids for more
than three times the amount offered,
while the popular subscription al
ready fer three-quarters of the
amount exhibits in strong light the
confidence of the people.
