EIGHT HUNDRED MILLION.
American Farmers Draw From For
eign Countries.

Washington, June l3.-The farmers of
the country are drawing upon other parts
of the world for more money in the fiscal
year which ends with this month than in
any preceding year in the history of the
country. Even the high water mark OF
1892, when our exports of agricultural
products amounted to $799, 1923 ,232, will
be surpassed by the record of the year
which closes with this month. The pre-.
liminary reports of May expectations
which have reached the bureau of sta.
tistics make it quite apparent that the
agricultural exports of the year will be
considerably in excess of $500 ,0O0, 600, the
total for the year being likely to reach
$685., 5,0O0,000. Never before have the ex-
ports of agricultural products reached the
$SO0,OO0,000 line and never but twice
have they been as much as 100000, 600,
the two occasions being in 1881 and 1902
Compared with the last fiscal year the
increase in exports of agricultural pro.
ducts will be fully Sl5O,OO0,OOO, and com.
pared with the preceding year the in
crease will be over $25O,OOO,O 900, while
the total will be fully so per cent in ex.
cess OF that of the fiscal year of 1895.

favor in which Americans are held here
just now. Every allusion of Sir William

HarcOurt, liberal leader, said:
"NO one is more anxious or more eager
for. closer and more permanent relations
with the United States than myself. Ever
since ] have had anything to do with
public life, my foremost object has been
the cultivation of good relations with the
United States"
Chamberlain, at the end Of long de-

intimate relations with the United States,
adding:
"And more close, more intimate, more

SPAIN DOESN'T WANT PEACE.
Declare That War Can he Continued d
for Two Years.

Madrid, June 1.-THE campaign inau
gurated by some of the foreign newspa
pers in favor of peace between Spain
and the United States, is not approved
here. According TO the opinions of severa
generals, Spain is capable of continuing
war in Cuba, for two years even under the
most unfavorable circumstances. therefore,
they add. it is useless to talk OF peace
unless it implies return to the statu:
quo ante-bellum.
The government, it is added, has not
received any suggestions Of peace from the
powers, and in political circles, it is de.
clared, If such suggection were received
the government would politely decline ia
