The low price CT wheat at the pres
ent time is matter that should re-
celve the serious consideration of our
farmers. The reports from foreign
countries all indicate that the wheat
yield has been enormous all over the
world and that the hope of higher
market in the near future is based on
our wish and not the reports. AS n
matter of fact the price of wheat will
remain very low for some time to come
In view of this fact it is wise for our
farmers to let go of their dairy interest
1t is noticeable that the skimming sta
tions all over the state are reporting
light receipts of milk Notwithstanding
the fact that butter is bringing pretty
good price. The reports from the east
Indicate a short supply of butter

deficiency. The cattle market has
fallen Off to to such an extent that II
is doubtful if the man who bought last
spring can realize enough next spring

cd on them, leaving the owner practi-
cally nothing for his years work. This
all simply emphasizes the fact that

The life of a country editor is not
always a pleasant one, as our friend
Eckert. of Larned, has discovered to
his sorrow. Last week he aired his
views on democrats who did not sup
port the fusion nominees, and of one
Bill Mansfield in particular. The re-
suit was that when William met Charl-
es last Monday he proceeded to set up
his ideas in capital letters, to the dis
comfiture of his opponent. We have
no doubt Eckert will come out on top
in the end, however Mondays encoun-
ter may have resulted. In this con-
nection we wish to remaak that he is
invited to our town to express his
opinions, always provided he will see
that all scraps are disposed of before
he leaves tow.

1t has been suggested that owing to
the heavy demands for troops, which
have far exceeded the number originally
believed to be sufficient, there will be
occasion to issue another call for volun-
teers. Having in mind the length OF
time required to develop raw material
into seasoned soldiers. as revealed by
the experiences at Chickamauga, Tampa
and Camp Alger. there Is no doubt the
president will be forehanded in this mat
ter and that pom the existence of a rea-
sonable doubt as to the sufficiency of
the present military force he will AXE
steps to increase 1t. But before any ef-
fort is made to raise more troops the
war department will see to it that the
amplest facilities are provided
and that the equipment will be ready
for the men. The material secured un-
~deranother call would not include ma
tional ~guardsmen and the men would
not only be absolutely green, but would
be wholly without equipment OF any
Kind.
The preparations being made by the
war department to meet any possible
demands in the future as revealed in
the very thorough report of the board,
headed by Major Hopkins, appointed
to look after suitable camping sites,
undoubtedly has given rise to the re-
ports that additional military camps
are to be established. The department
has put things in trim to establish at
short notice several additional camps,
but so far 1t has not ordered any
troops to them, n is not likely to,
unless there should be a further call
for volunteers.
The projected dispatch Of the relief
expeditions with food and supplies to
the suffering Cubans is no new feature
of the campaign, as seems to have been
supposed in some quarters. From the
first the president has had in mind the
probable suffering of the reconcentra-
dos, whose lot was likely to be made
doubly hard by the war. unless our
people came to their relief. 1t was his
purpose to lose no opportunity in
sending supplies to these people. and
the reported preparations of expedi-
tons in Florida to carry these are
nothing more than the natural execu-
ton of the presidents plan.

Spanish Business Men Want the War

New York, June 1s.-A dispatch 10
the Herald from Madrid says: An al
locution to the government by the pow
erful council general of Catalonia,
which represents the mercantile intelli-
gence of Spain, calling for peace. has
created a deep impression here. all the
more on account of the logical and
practical ~reasonings with which the
council advocates a cessation of hostili-
ties. 1t states h a although the coun-
ell considers Americas conduct unqual-
ifedly unjust. yet that does not justify
Spain In continuing an unequal contest,
which is bound to result in overwhelm-
ing ruin.
1T is BETTER" it says ito submit to
an imputation. powerful though it may
be, than to carry on a terrible war with
the ends Of disaster. The matter will
not be any more glorious after we have
been ruined n the lives of thousands
of u soldiers lost"
The allocution ends with a call for
peace.
The endless objections raised in the
cortes to the taxation necessary for the
continuation of the war are met by the
government organ Ell Dia. 1t says:
THE country neither asked for nor
"oito - ia 4 uCitflCI ltS
origin nor its issue, and on that ac-
u shows neither enthusiasm of any
kind nor, IN that account. does 1t re-
spend by its attitude to the RESPONSE
bilities which the situation imposes
on the government. 1t refuses sacri-
fees which would willingly be accepted
under other circumstances. With such
a sentiment existing. 1t is impossible to
ask the government to prolong a war
for which the country does not seem
inclined to provide the necessary re-
sources. without which we cannot have
war;"
The Epoca, which is seriously repub-
lican, says: I'm our opinion FL Dia re-
fleets with thorough exactitude the po-
sition of the government"
The Epoca cannot understand how
the government can vacillate as to
which course to take. 1t says: 'There
car be little doubt, according to the
of matured opinions which
been gathered, that peace at the
moment, when the entire world
gives full recognition to Spanish valor
and bravery. is highly opportune under
the circumstances, which may not be so

Port Antonio, Jamaica. via Kingston,
Jamaica, Saturday. June Is. IL O'Clock
noon.-Well authenticated reports have
reached here that Havana is receiving
supplies through Batanano, on the
south side of Cuba, opposite Havana.
The supplies are taken to the Isle of
Pines, of the south coast of Cuba, in
large ships and are carried across at
night in small boats to Batanano and
from there are taken to Havana, a dis
lance of 125 miles, by rail.
The American commercial agent at
Port Antonio has notified the Washing
ton government that this is going on.
1t Is impossible to get provisions on the
island Of Jamaica. all supplies being
sold to a Spanish agent. The Spanish
consul at Kingston is offering high
prices, spot cash. for provisions.
The Spanish steamer Purisima Con-
cepcion, which left Kingston June Is
with a cargo of provisions for the south
coast Of Cuba, cleared for Santiago de
Cuba, but is supposed to be bound for
Batanano. An English newspaper cor
respondent from Havana arrived here
yesterday. He says there are ample
supplies of all kinds except flour in the
city, and that supplies of all sorts are
constantly landed at Batanano. The
American blockade at that point, he
amounts to little.

DASTARDLY OUTRAGE
A Fiend Attempts to Blow Up
the Home Of James Keegan.
NO CLUE TO PERPETRATOR
Fortunately No One Was I~njured-Ex-
plosion Was q Heavy One-Mr. Kee-
gan Has No Idea What the
Motive Was.

Another devilish attempt at destruc-
ton Of property and OF lives was made
last night by some unknown rascal by
e of a powder explosion. The vic
tim was James Keegan. superintendent
of the Mountain Con and Green Noun
tain mines, who resides with his family
at he corner of Missoula avenue and
North Montana street. In West Cen

Mr.. Keegan was at home. and with
his family. had retired, when about
11:15 o'clock they were almost thrown
from their beds. and the house was
rocked on Its foundation by an explosion
that was heard all over Centerville and
h northern part of Butte. In a mo-
ment hundreds OF people who had been
aroused by the explosion were on the
streets. and investigation developed the
fact that the rear end of the kitchen of
Mr.. Keegan's house had been blown off.
A stable and Clubhouse were wrecked by
the conclusion. n the windows of a
score OF houses within two blocks OF
the Keegan residence were broken.
Under Sheriff Murphy. who lives near
h scene OF the explosion. was among
the first to arrive there. but. OF course,
there was no trace of the culprit.
IL was evident that the powder had
been placed loosely under the kitchen
and set of with a fuse. 1t Is not
likely hat the intent was to kill any
body. and Mr.. Keegan had the matter
sized up probably right when he said
hat II was meant to scare somebody"
doubtless meaning himself. There were
in the house at the time OF the explo-
sion Mr.. Keegan, his wife. his brother
in-law and four children, but they all
slept at the opposite end of the house
from the point where the explosion oc-

off the shelves. Fortunately
no one was injured by the explosion.
MIR. Keegan said he had no idea what
motive prompted anyone to attempt the
of his family or destroy his prop

IL was intended to scare and not to kill,

coast.
New York, Tune 1S.-A special to the
Times from Washington says: New re-
ports of the approach of Spanish vessels
TO this coast n the fiutter of concern
the reports cause increase the interest
of the naval war board in the plan of
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt, now for
many weeks laid on the shelf, to make
a dash at the Canaries and the Spanish
coast by way OF interesting and oc-
cupying the Spanish people with their
own affairs.
There are some differences of opinion
among those who direct the operations
of naval vessels concerning the practi-
cability and effectiveness of a raid on
the Spanish coast. 1t is believed by
those who have looked at the matter
carefully that the moral effect of such
a demonstration would be to terrify the
people who live on the shore of Spain,
and would serve to bring the Spanish
TO terms earlier than IL the forces Of the
United States were not so employed.
An objection urged in the navy de-
partment against the dispatch OF a fleet
to Spain is that it would bring the wal
to a close before the administration
could complete some of the work it has
cut out. It Is desired that the occupa-
ton of the Philippines shall be COM
pleted and Porto Rico gained before
Spain sues for peace. If those under
takings are to be rounded out before
Spain is to be visited. it might not be
before August that the fast vessels of
the United States navy could be used to
knock at the doors of Cadiz or to sail
into the Mediterranean and sound the
defenses of Port Mahon.

A hot brush between some Spanish
troops and a accommodating party in
steam cutters occurred at daylight this
castle. The Massachusetts steam cutter
entered the cove to take soundfngs and
reconnoiter. When well inside the inlet
a detachment Of Spanish infantry
opened fire upon the cutter from q block
house. The fire was vigorously returned
by he marines in h boat. and also by
the marines in the New York's cutter,
which had followed in. The New York's
cutter was hit ten times. and a marine
in the cutter Of the Massachusetts, had
the stock of his rifle shattered. but by
great good luck nc one was hit.
The Texas opened fire with her six
Founders on the hillside. and the Vixen
steamed right into the cove and pep
pered the block houses with her rapid
fire guns. Eventually the Spaniards
retreated to the woods, and the two
steam cutters withdrew.
