The award provides also that the com

MEMBERS OF CUBAN JUNTA
Confident There VIII bo no Serious Fric-
tion with Americans.

Washington, July 20.-Senor Quesada
and other representatives of the Cuban
Junta have been in consultation with ofii =
cials of the war department to-day The
United States officials were assured that
there was no dissatisfaction with the
management of affairs in Cuba so far as
the Cuban representatives were concerned
and that If Gen. Garcia and other Cubans
operating in Santiago were not In har-
mony with the United States authorities
there it arose from misunderstanding
or the Presidents proclamation and of the
intentions of the United States govern
ment in the premises. The Cubans at
Santiago, it was stated, probably thought
that the action of Gen. Shafter meant
the continuation of Spanish rule and
Spanish authority. 1t Is we'll understood
here that such was not the case, and IL
was the belief of the Cuban representa-
tiVes that when the matter was made
plain to the Cuban officers in the field
they would acquiesce in the action of the
United States and render the United
States their support
The Cubans assured the war officials
that nothing was further from their de-
sire than n rupture with the United
States forces and authority.
1t also became known that the Junta
had sent dispatches to Gen. Garcia and
other Cuban officers that their course at
Santiago was not approved and If persist
ed in would result In serious injury to the
Cubans. 1t is believed that the rcpresen-
tatons made will bring about n better
understanding between the Cuban officers
and the Americans. The opinion was ex.
pressed at the war department that the
better class OF Cubans in the islands will
have no sympathy with those who would
bring about trouble, but that it Is the
lower and vicious class who desire to loot

NEW ENGLAND CROPS.
Rainy Visitation Would BE Welcomed
by the Farming Population.

Boston, July 19.-Last weeks rains
were not very copious. yet they re-
freshcd the earth in Rhode Island, Con-
nccticut and eastern Massachusetts,
producing a noticeable effect in the
fields The absence of moisture is
felt elsewhere in New England, though
the crops have not begun to wilt SO
as to cause alarm. Frost did consider
able damage in the north.
Maine-Observers in the various
counties describe different conditions.
There is perfect agreement as to
hay, of which there is a large crop
everywhere. Grain in Audroscoggin
is rusting badly, while at Washington
and Penobscot the condition is most
promising at present. Potatoes are
good in Washington and Aroostook; in
Kennebec, oxford, Somerset and Waldo,
on the other hand, drought and beetles
are affecting the plants materially. All
crops are growing wonderfully in Knox.
New MISUNDERSTANDING potatoes
are poor because of the drought, but
grain is generally good. Drought is
njuring Carroll crops generally, Rain
Is needed for Cheshire potatoes, corn
and pastures, and apples are falling.
Showers have improved Merrimac crops,
but apples will be short. In Rocking
ham hoed crops need rain; pactures
still good; haying soon finished. Corn,
potatoes and small fruit are suffering
in STAFFORD and Sullivan.
Vermont-From all counties come re-
| ports of the desire for rain the want
of which is beginning to be felt, though
the crops are in fair condition. Po-
tatoes are rusting badly in some sec
tions of Addison, and corn is below the
| average. Dry weather is rolling corn
and damaging potatoes in Bennington
In Grand Isle apples will be less than
| half crop. An unusually large cror
of hay has been half secured in Rut-
land. Windsor will have large cror
of fine quality hay.
Connecticut-Corn Is doing finely In
Fairfield and Tolland and poorly in New
Haven Apples will not be abundant
while the reverse condition is true as &c
the "apples of the earth" Small fruits
and vegetables will be abundant in Fair
field. In New London a second crop OF
| clover is starting well.

sex report the only indications of d
good yield of apples, and in all counties
potatoes are thriving and other crops

estimate of the people now in Atlanta to

A GERMAN GROWL.
PREPARING FOR WAR.
tIons Being Pushed d-Believed Gen,
Miles Had Large Army Loaded.

Washington, July Gothic war and navy
departments are now engaged in making
all of the arrangements for the despatch
of the Porto Rico expedition and Watson's s
eastern squadron. There has occurred
one of those natural pauses in the prog
ross OF the campaign incident to the COM
pletion of one set of operations and tho
initiation OF another. There being no pos
sibility OF the receipt of news of great
pattle or of surrender, there was less
excitement and less evidence of nervous
strain than for weeks past. Gen. Miles
expected departure was again deferred.
The explanation given was that there was
diifculty experienced at Santiago in secur-
ing the naval convoy for the expedition.
IT is known, however, in addition that
the President himself has restrained Gen.
Miles to the extent of adjuring him in
earnest terms not to commit the folly
| of starting for Porto Rico without the
most complete preparations. The govern,
mcnt has profited by the lessons taught
by the Santiago expedition.
Aside from the actual loss of life that
mlSht be expected to result from badly
calculated start it is realized that our re-
latlons with some of the European powers
would be impaired i'm a small measure at
least by the adverse moral effect created
