Fitzhugh Lee, in which that officer
is quoted as saying:
''All statements that l expected to

that l was disgruntlod because /
did not go are false. 1 did want to
go to Havana, and l have so stated a
number of times | told Gen. Miles
that L was a soldier and had no
favors to ask, but 1 had the strong
est desire to go to Havana with nay
troops. I presume if there was any
large movement of the army General
Miles would command, and all ] ask
is the command of the troops in the
lead of that movement.
cit amuses me to hear of General
Blanco's expressed regret that he
did not have a chance to try conclu-
sions with the Americans before
peace was declared Gen. B!anco is
not soldier He is unfit physically
to command. He knows absolutely
nothing of modern military tactics.
l know him personally, and would
like nothing better than to move
against Havana with my corps alone.
We could run over Blanco and his
army without trouble and without
the assistance of any other troop.

"The recent imperial DEGREES are

to leave Pekin, and the Empress
Dowager has assumed charge of the
Government.
"She will attend all Cabinet meet

ments why, let them keep the
price of wheat up to 81 a bushel,
and the farmers of the United States

The theory of Sir William Crooke,
based upon figures whose source is

the conditions which the Agricul
tural Department Is enabled to show
by means of its 10000 correspond
ents in all parts of the United
States, who monthly and yearly
supply reliable inform alton touching
every phase of the wheat question.
It is a fact. 10 begin with, that the
reserve of wheat is very low. Indeed,
practically considered, the wheat
eating population must be fed frsm
current harvests aud not in part, as
heretofore in any one year, from the
surplus of the previous year, as well
as the crops of the current period.
But there is no evidence, Sir William
to the contrary notwithstanding,
that there is large yearly increase
in the wheat or bread consumption.
In fact, the government officials
insist that, seriously and srgumsnta-
lively considered, it can be maintain
ed that the number is less to day
than it was Is years ago, although
meantime there has been a yearly
increase Of population; possibly 6,
000,e IN the total population.
Texas alone, said Mr.. Holmes,
the noted statisticisn OF the Agrisul
ture Bureau, speaking unoficially,
SIS capable of growing all the wheat
needed by America, leaving Illinois
Indiana, California and the other
wheat states to produce the amount
needed for export. Roughly speak
ing, the crop in the United States
on July l last was within 80 per
cent of the normal yield-that is,
not affected by drought, too much
OF too little rain and other condi-
tions. What the amount of percent
a. 20 will be at the end Of the year,
no official could affsrd to predict

The French government has
placed the celebrated Salon des Am

cd the commission of one item of

ia said that the expense of the com
