CHINESE VIEW OF THE WAR

Shanghai, May 23.-The crisis be-
tween the United States and Spain is
arousing exceptional interest in the
great cities in China. Hong Hong,
Shankhai and Tientsin, being the fore
most commercial centres, are much
aroused. There is practical unanimitv
OF feeling on the part of the leading
Chinese, British and American residents.
All seem to unite in the belief that it is
holy war-a war of humanity. =.
1t IS understood, however, that dur
ing the visit of Prince Henry of Prus-
STA the Germans have expressed them
selves as decidedly in sympathy with
Spain.

MILES ON CUBAN INVASION.

with regard to the invasion OF Cuba, u
said Major General Miles at the War De.
partment today, II have nothing to say ex-
cept that the United States will in due time
bring Cuba under its control, 10y judicious
methods and without useless waste Of life.
The United states is too great, too strong
and too powerful to commit any foolish act
in connection with the proposed invasion.
AS for myself have only to say that no
officer is fit to command troops who from
any motive whatever would needlessly risk
the life ola single soldier either from dis
ease or the bullets of the enemy. | have
never sacrificed the lives OF men under my
command and do not propose to subject
them to any unnecessary risks in the present

Washington, May est is reason
able to anticipate that before the close

squadron can further avoid a conflict
except for period measured only by

GAZETTE Correspondence.
Rockbridge Baths, Va, May 23, '98.
We have had quite an abundance OF
rain in this locality during the last &c
hours, and prospect this morning for
more. Entering upon the Summer
season with such supply of water
stored away in the ground will prove a
security against water dearth such
as was experienced to years ago in these
parts.
After having the thermometer as low
as 10 degrees and ice formed to q
thickness Of more than a querter of an
inch when many fruit trees were in
in full bloom it seems little strange
that we have quite an amount of all
kinds Of fruit left. From tie best in
formation gathered can safely report
half crop of both apples and peaches,
while cherries were never more abun-
dant.
Our wheat is progressing very rapid
ly and the prospect for n bounifuI
crop.
A few of our farmers have begun
their corn ploughing. Considerable
complaint as to bad stand owing in
the first place to the baking Of the land
after cold rains and then to tie layages
of insects Of various kinds.
Grass is doing well where it has q
fair showing, but sheep screl, one OF
the worst pests vi ! which farmers
now have to contend is Il poses
sion of many fields, almost to ia ~ L
exclusion of everything else.
Our p crle become more and more
anxious for war rews. Those who
were formerly well satisfied with semi
weeklies, now await the arrival of their
dailies with greatest anxiety.

special navy supplement, gotten up by

can, which proves so very interesting
