THIS IS FROM KEY WEST.
A Story That Blanco Attempted Sui
 eide.

Key West, Fla, July 13.-According to advices from Havana received to- day, Governor-General Blanco at tempted to commit suicide wien he learned beyond doubt that Admiral Cervera's squadron had been annihi- lated. His staff officers prevented him Blanco has prevented supplies leaving Havana and many are starv- ing daily in the inland towns.
 Jose Blanco, who brings informa- tion of Blanco's attempt at suicide, further reported that three weeks ago, the Spanish steamers Montevideo and Santo Domingo crept out of the harbor at midnight with all lights out and got safely through. the blockade. The Spanish ships now in the harbor he says are the gunboats Condo Vena- ditto, Marquise de la Ensenada, Nueva Espana, Filipinas and Runez Pinzon. The guns have been removed from the cruiser Alfonso XIII and used for the shore batteries, and the cruiser has been converted into hospital ship. There are also in the harbor a num- Der of small warships of the nature of converted yachts. The merchant steamers Josefa, Adola and Maria Her rera are also in the harbor.

BLANCo SAYS NO.

London, July 13.-A special dis bach from Madrid says Blanco replied to the Spanish governments reiterated representations in regard to peace by energetically protesting against the idea. He says the report that the gov ernment has resolved to negotiate with the United States has had a de- plorable effect, especially among the troops. He says a deputation of off cers chosen by him begged him to con- vey to the government their protests against any proposition of peace, claiming that nothing can justify a cessation of hostilities at present. So long as it is not exclusively proved that the troops are incapable of suc- cessfully defending Cuba, Spain can
 not talk for peace without dishoncr- ing her army in the eyes of the world.

CORN AND COTTON SEED.

Mr.. G. Wood Davis, of Kansas, is one of
the few men who can throw an interest
into statistics. For several years he has at
tracted the attention of thoughtful people
by his efforts to show that some time in the
near future the area of wheat lands in the
United States would be insufficient to fur
nish wheat bread for our own people. He
certainly did show that, under the present
system of cultivation, the wheat crop of
the United States cannot be largely in
creased, while population is increasing in a
considerable ratio.
Mr. Daviss last paper. which appeared in
the Forum for February, is intended TO
show why the price of corn has been less
during the last ten years than during the
preceding decade. Although he lives in
Kansas. Mr.. Davis ridicules the idea that
the currency can have anything TO do with
a considerable decline in the price of corn
during the last ten years, compared with
the ten years which ended with 1887. Mr..
Davis is never indefinite. He has cause
for every effect about which he writes. In
this case he begins his article with a story
about very keen Spectator who had
studied the supply of hogs in the country
in 1887, and upon his statistics had put up
a corner on lard. He was very sure that
he had cont oil of the market, but to his
great surprise, as the days passed on, d
stream of tierces of lard which he could rot
account for came into his possession and he
was forced to buy them. The men whom he
thought were shorts" seemed to be very
long" He at once instituted an investiga-
tion. and discovered that this stream of
tierees of lard that he could not account for
did rot come from the places where pork
was packed, but from the factories in which
cotton-seed oil, beef stearine and any kind
of white grease were made into lard.
