Wine

The reports from the wine growing dis
triets in Europe are gloomy, and while II
may seem hard that one country should
have reason to rejoice at the mishap
Of another the fact remains that the
wine shortage in Europe is calculated to
benefit California.
In Bordeaux the quantity is the small
est in years, and the quality unpromis-
ing. In Burgundy the quality is poor
and crops small. The champagne vint-
age is quite a failure, and 1t Is not an
ticipated that any of it will be good
enough for expectation. The sherry crop
Of Spain is only two-thirds of aver
age, and the quality coarse. In Portugal
the quality is better but the yield small.
The Rhine wine crop of Germany is only
one-third to one-half an average crop
and will produce only middle WINE"
In the face of this European condi-
ton the vintage of 1897 in the United
States is exceptionally good. The fol-
lowing estimate has been formed for this

SIGNAL SERVICE.
Sacramento Boys Will Have 8
Chance to Go to Philippines.

The call for fifty-five men from this
State for signal service in the Philip
pines means that eleven or twelve will
be selected from the Signal Corps,
Third Brigade, of this city.
Signal officer Major w. w Douglas
yesterday said that the men best fitted
in signal work will be selected and
that their efficiency will be tested by
practical demonstration.
The name of Lieutenant Fred L. Mar
tin of the local corps has been forward
ed to the President, with the recon-
mendation that he be appointed First
Lieutenant in the volunteer signal SER
vice. The name of Lieutenant Law
renee of Los Angeles was originally
sent in (though Lieutenant Martin
ranked him) and his commission was
made out. Business arrangements,
however, prevented him from accepting
the commission, and the name of Lieu
tenant Martin was Immediately sent in.
His commission will probably be made
out in a few days.
Lieutenant Martin, in accordance
with instructions recently received by
him, has forwarded the muster roll of
the corps to headquarters at San Fran
cisco, and has designated the names of
those men who are most expert as
fagmen, photographers and telegra-
pliers.

American forces.
General Colazo and Colonel Herman
dez to-day gave an interesting account
of General Garcia's forces and the gem
eral equipment of the Cuban army
Colonel Hernandez, says Garcia has his
headquarters at Bayamo, and that his
staff, with bodyguard of several hun
dred men, are quartered inside the
city. The infantry and cavalry are
quartered in the suburb of South Bay
amo. Tents are not used, but in their
places the men hastily construct COW
|erings made of palm leaves and guinea
grass, which are more effective than
canvas as a shelter against the hot
sun In all about 5000 men are thus
quartered They are we'll armed with
Remington and Mausers captured
from the Spaniards Most of them have
machetes, but only the officers carry
other small arms. The cavalry have
small horses, much like the Indian
mustangs, hardy and reliable Mules
are used for pack purposes.
| Colonel Hernandez says that the
! Commissary and Quartermaster's De-
lpartment is unknown in the sense used
| by army officials here. In lieu of these,
| the companies not fully armed are Or
ganized as preios." The duty of the
/ ''preios' is to bring meat, ample sup
Iplies being secured from Puerto Prin-
cipe, and vegetables, which are grown
in the woods The system works per-
Ifectly, Colonel Hernandez says, and
the troops are kept well fed, and in
/ good spirits. There are no dress par
ades and none of the regularity of
/ daily drill used in the United States
army. The main occupation is in max
| ing the long daily marches to keep the
men hardened.
| It is understood that the purpose of
the present visit of Garcia's officers is
/ to give that Generals assurance to the
authorities here of his desire to give
every possible cooperation to the
American movements. Similar assur-
Iances have come from General Gomez,
ard have been presented by Senior Que
SAGA. The Cuban officers have made
good impression here, and the au-
thorities were agreeably surprised to
find them men of ability and soldierly
bearing, speaking English Well They
will remain some days longer, and then

Reports continue to be received at
the War Department showing an utter
disregard by vessel owners Of the regu-
lations which govern the entry and de-
parture Of craft to and from mined
harbors between the hours when this
is forbidden. In some instances vessels
have dragged the cables connected with
submarine mines and torpedo. Repairs
are made promptly, however, though at
a great Inconvenience. The result of
one vessels incursidn recently was to
set adrift along the Atlantic coast south
of New York a number Of torpedoes,
each Of which contains probably a
hundred pounds Of dynamite. Vessels
were sent out to look for them, but
thus far only one has been picked up.
The main danger to be apprehended
from them is their coming in contact
with the propeller of a vessel which
might explode the dynamite within.

TO STOP THE WAR.
Minister Hanotaux Making Great
Efforts to That End.

LONDON, May 26-The Star
claims to have information that the
French Minister for Foreign Affairs, NJ.
Hanotaux, is making great efforts to
stop the Spanish-American war It
says that Russia, Austria and France
are endeavoring to induce Germany and
Italy to join in a representation to
President Mckinley, declaring that the
Powers will induce Spain to grant the
independence of Cuba. Should America
refuse intervention, it is further alleged,
the Powers mentioned would send a
fleet to put Cuba under international
rule, as was done in the island of
Crete, until the withdrawal of the Span
ish forces and the institution of a
regular local Government.
1t is further said that these Powers
would justify intervention, on the
ground that the war threatened the
general peace of Europe.
The Stars" information is not re-
garded. seriously here.
The "Pall Mall Gazette" says: "All
the talk of assistance frem Europe is
moonshine. Neither France nor any
other Power is likely to burn its fingers
with the Spanish chestnut. Senior Cas-
tillo, the. Spanish ambassador to
France, most probably has a good deal
to do in Paris, but it is Of a financial

number Of volunteers so far reported
mustered was 118000. and that enough
were prepared for muster to swell the
number to between 121 900 and 10, 600
1t is not expected by the War Depart
ment officials that quite the full num-
ber called for will be mustered into
the army, as nearly all Of the States
are shy from twenty-five to 100 men Of
the number called for by their quota.
Iowa is still short about a thousand
men of its quota, and two or three of
the Southern States have not completed
their muster, but the small gap remain
ing will be filed in day or two.
