NO FUSION.
Populist National Committee Agrees t.
Reject All Overtures Looking to Com
bines with other Parties.

Omaha. Neb.. June 1S.-The confer
ence of the populist national commit
tee yesterday adjourned sine die. The
final outcome was the practical rout
of the middle of the road crowd. There
will be no convention in 1899 to outline
the policy of the party. In 1900 there
will be an early convention to noml-
nate a national ticket. the same to be
held prior to the democratic conven-
ton. No overture looking to fusion
will emanate from the national com
mittee and none will be received and
entertained by it.
The national committee is required
to keep it's hands off in state cam
paigns, or if its assistance be invited
it may interfere only on behalf OF the
populist ticket and not to assist IN
fusion. The effort to force Chairman
Butler to resign proved futile and he
will continue to act until the next
national convention in 1900.

AN AIR CASTLE EXPLODES.
Semi -Onicial Announcement is Made at
Madrid that the Government Does Not
Count on the support of Any European
Power, Not Even Germany.

Madrid, June 1S.-There is n feeling
of great optimism in official circles
here and in the cortes, owing to the
departure of Admiral Camara's fleet
IL Is SAID in Madrid that it consists
OF over 20 ships, including auxiliary
cruisers, and it is added that it has
an enormous quantity of war material
on board, including a mysterious new
explosive. 1t is also whispered that
the squadron when at sea was to be
divided and to proceed to different des-
tinations.
Fresh contingents of troops are be-
ing called to the colors and there Is
great activity in the war and navy de-
partments. Work on the Notifications
at the different ports of Spain is being
actively pushed, and it is asserted that
third squadron of warships is to be
formed Immediately to be composed of
the Cardenal Cisneros, Leparto, Al
fonso NIlI. and other cruisers. Cadiz
is to be the rendezvous of this SQUAD
ron.
1t is the general opinion here that
a protracted war is ahead and it is
semi-officially announced that the gov
ernment does not count upon the
support OF any powers, and that even
Germany, in spite of her great inter
erts in the Philippines, will do moth
ing to favor Spain.
Washington, June 1S.-The state de-
partment has received the following
dispatch from its agent at Gibraltar:
Carlos ", Pelayo, Rapido, Patricia,
Audaz, Osada, Prosperna, Giralda,
Prelajo, Colon, with the minister of
marine on board; Alfonso Doce, Cana
donga. Antonio Lopez, lsla Panos,
Buenos Ayres and San Francisco left
Cadiz Thursday. First II passed here
bound for Carthagena for orders: last
three had troops on board" This is
Admiral Camara's Cadiz squadron and
appears to be in the Mediterranean,
bound for African shores.
The Cadiz feet is being narrowly
watched, although the naval view is
not similar to that taken by army Off
GERS The former do not attach as
much Importance to this fleet as the
latter, and few of the officers can be
found to believe that the ships will
ever venture far from the Spanish
coast. much less attempt to cross the
Atlantic or go to the Philippines. The
list of vessels in this feet is rather for
midable in sound. but as matter of
fact it includes not more than two
up-to-date modern war vessels, eX-
cepting the torpedo gunboats. 1t is
the opinion of the naval officers here
that if Dewey had the Monterey with
him he would have no difficulty in re-
pulsing the whole Spanish force, while
the Cadiz fleet would only afford pas
time for Simpsons ships.

MILLIONS FOR FARMERS.
Wonderful Increase In Exports of Foot
Products During tho Fiscal Year AImos
Ended.

Wonderful Increase In Exports of Food
Products During tho Fiscal Year Almost
Ended.
Washington, June 13.-The farmers
of the United States are drawing upon
other parts of the world for more
money in the fiscal year which ends
with this month than in any preced-
ing year in the history of the country.
Even the high water mark of 1892,
when our exports of agricultural
products amounted to S799 BPS, ,232,
will be surpassed by the record of the
year which closes with this month.
The preliminary reports of May eX-
portations which have reached the
bureau of statistics make it apparent
that the agricultural exports of the
year will be considerably in excess of
$500. 900. 900, the total for the year be-
ing likely to reach $685., 900. Never
before have the exports of agricul-
tural products reached the SS00,000000
line, and never but twice have they
been as much as $700, 100000, the two
occasions in which they passed the
500, ,000, 900 line being in 1881 and 1892.
Compared with the last fiscal year
the increase in exports of agricul-
tural products will be fully $150,000,-
900. and compared with the preceding
year the increase will be over $3.50
OOO, 900, while the total will be fully
so per cent. in excess of that OF the
fiscal year 1881. In breadStuffS alone
the exports of the year will amount
to nearly $1,000,000 for each business
day and will be more than S10O,O00,-
0CO in excess of last years exports of
| breadstutfs. Nearly all articles classed
as breadstutfs have participated in
this increase. OF wheat the value of
the exports for the fiscal year 1898 will
be more than double those of the tis-
cal year 1897. while the increase in
-four will be nearly so per cent. and of
corn nearly 50 per cent. in value.
May exports of corn were larger
than those of any other month in the
history of the country, while the total
exports of corn for the year for the
first time will pass the 200,000,0OO
bushel line. Oats, oatmeal and rye
show a striking increase, the gain in
oatmeal being more than 60 per cent.
over last year and that of oats 100 per
cent, while in rye the gain is also
phenomenally large. In "provisions,"
in which term are included beef, hogs
and dairy products, there is also a
marked increase, the total exports of
provisions for the year being likely TO
reach $780, 900. Most of this in
crease is in hog products.
Exports of bacon, which were S34,-
1877 AT in value last year, are likely to
reach $44OOO,O0O. Lard shows a SIM
liar increase, being likely to reach
S37 100000 this year, gain OF nearly
Sc, ,O0O, 900. Live beef seems to be gain
ing in popularity with our foreign
customers, the exports of beef cattle
having increased materially, while
those of beef. either fresh, canned or
salted. have failed to show any in
crease, in most cases decided fall
ing off being noticeable.

and that 300 Spaniards were killed
and several hundred wounded. Ter
rible execution was wrought by the
l3-inch shells of the Texas. If their
statement can be relied on, the Span

much worse off, the military authori-

at any price. The insurgents predict
that a famine will cause the speedy

Chicago, June 1S.-A prominent rail
road official who returned from Tampa
Yesterday said that the health of the
troops there was excellent. ''The de-
laws attending the transportation of
troops from Tampa" he said, Were
caused by the lack of ability on the
part of army quartermasters, who
seemed to be utterly unable to proper
Iv discharge their duties. Many car
loads of provisions for the troops were
not handled promptly and their con-
tents spoiled and had to be thrown
into the sea. The military system of
the United States is defective in the
