BRYAN TO GO TO MANILA.
Appointed Colonel of the Third Ne
braska Volunteers.

Lincoln, Neb, June 5.-Adjutant Cen
eral Berry has received telegram from
Secretary Alger saying that the Third
regiment, Nebraska volunteer infantry,
organized by w. j. Bryan, has been ac-
cepted by the government and that it
would be added to the contingent going to
the Philippines.
When this news was received Mr.. Bry-
an was so notified and went to Governor
Holcomb's Office and conference was
held, the outcome of which, although it
has not been publicly announced was that
Mr.. Bryan was appointed colonel of the
regiment and given his commission.
Adiutant General Berry at once issued
the first general order in the history of
the new regiment. 1t was addressing the
members and officers, urging them to drill,
perfect their organization and be ready
for the call to mobilize in this city.
Later news from Washington was to
the effect that mastering officers would
be sent here in the near future and the
regiment sworn in and ordered to San
Francisco, where the First regiment of
this city is already located.

SHAKEN BY AN EARTHQUAKE.
Severe Shocks Through the North
ern Part of Kentucky.

st. Louis, June Ga special to the
Post-Dispatch from Cincinnati says: A
severe earthquake occurred in northern
Kentucky between and a. m. today.
At Paris several persons were thrown
from their beds. At Maysville the vibra-
tions lasted 30 seconds and were very
strong. At Millersburg the people were
panic-stricken and many fled from their
homes. The shock was felt for two min
utes, spreading terror among the people.
At Cynthiana the shock was accom-
panied by a loud report, and at Owens
vile meteors fell during the day.

A LACK OF TRANSPORTS.
General Merritt's Complaint at San
Francisco.

San Francisco, June THE Call prints
an interview with General Wesley Mer-
ritt, in which, after praising the troops
here, he says
My only complaint now is the delay in
the furnishing of transports. | have rep
resented to the war department that the
transports are coming in very slowly.
After | make the shipment of troops con-
templated by the three vessels-the China,
Colon and Zealandia-I will have forward
ed to the Philippines but one-fourth of the
command
THE want of transports is the crying
want of the expedition. Twenty thousand
men are to be sent to Manila. The three
vessels which have mentioned will carry
only about $500. There are now on the
way across the Pacific $500 troops, so you
can easily see the situation. | am not
making any complaint or any criticism of
the war department. | am merely max
ing a statement OF facts in reply to your
inquiries"
Sighted the Transports.
San Francisco, June - The steamer
Belgic arrived from the Orient via Homo
lulu early this morning, but was sent into
quarantine, three cases of smallpox hav-
ing developed since her departure from
Hong Kong. One case was landed at
Nagasaki, another at Kobe and the third
at Honolulu.
The Belgic reports sighting the first
fleet of transports, which left this city
May 25, about $50 miles east of Honolulu.
The Belgic sailed from Honolulu June J.
The Charleston had arrived at Honolulu
two days before and was being coaled at
the time of the departure of the Belgic.
Great preparations were being made at
Honolulu for reception of the troops ex-
pected to arrive there the day the Belgic
left.

To TAKE SHIP FOR CUBA
DESTINATION IS KEPT SECRET.
Work of Loading Transports With
Horses, Guns, Ammunition, stores,
Equipment and Medical Supplies
Many Extra Transport Vessels
Chartered.

ca9o Daily News, dated June 7, says the
work of loading transports with horses,
guns, ammunition, stores, equipment and
medical supplies for the first great inva-
sion of the Spanish West Indies is almost
completed, and before many hours Gen
eral Skaters corps, the Fifth, is expected
to sail away for destination known only
to a few, and not to be given out until
the fleet of transports with its convoy of
war vessels is well on its way to Cuba.
Regulars Massed at Tampa
New York, June IA special to the
Times from Washington says:
Signs are multiplying here which con
firm even in the minds of the most eau
tious observers the reports that hurry or
ders have been sent to the troops at Tam
pa, which have been current for the last
few days. The circumspection of the re-
sponsible members of the war administra-
ton prevents the exact nature of those
orders from becoming known.
That every effort is being made by all
branches of the department to get troops
ready to move from Tampa at very
early day is beyond question. Every
available soldier of the regular army not
actually set aside for duty has been sent
to Tampa. Every regular regiment has
been sent Their except the Fifteenth
Eighteenth and Twenty third infantry,
which are going to the Philippines, the
Third cavalry and Fourth artillery, bound
for the same destination and the Fifth
infantry, which is distributed all along
the gulf coast with a detail at Atlanta
doing guard duty. The mobilization was
completed when the camp of regulars at
Mobile was broken up last week and
transferred to Tampa.
Rush orders for ammunition and sup
plies for Tampa have been bestirring the
activities of the subsistence and ordnance
departments i'll the last few days. Last
Thursday, for instance, imperative de-
mands were made from army headquar-
tiers at Tampa that 100000 rounds of
ammunition should be delivered at that
point by Saturday night. So promptly
was this order attended to that the am
munitiOn was taken from the government
arsenal at Governors island Thursday
afternoon and delivered at Tampa within
the time prescribed, going faster than the
mails At the same time train load of
subsistence supplies went forward on the
same hurry schedule. These are incidents
in the proceedings of the last few days
which indicate an accession of haste at
the front since General Miles reached
there.
Another indication of the approach of
the long deferred forward movement is
the chartering by the war department of
new transports after it had announced
that it had all it would need for the Gu
ban invasion. That was that the trans
ports were to be called on to transport
some 10000 or $4,000 men directly across
the gulf to the northern coast of Cuba.
Now that Puerto Rico is to be occupied
and an army landed to assist in the cap
ture of Santiago it is found that more
ships will be needed to supplement the
fleet of 30 already secured.

weekly Crop Bulletin.

The following weekly bulletin has been is
sued by the Indiana Crop Bureau:
Warm weather prevailed. with frequent
local showers on Saturday very heavy rains
fell during thunderstorms in many locall-
ties. The rains interfered with wheat seed
ing and corn cutting and other farm work.
Corn is safe from frost: most is cut and in
shock. husking has begun some farms;
a heavy yield of good and sound corn is
expected. Clover-seed hulling is nearly
done; the yield is small and of poor quality.
Tobacco cutting continued; in general, the
crop is good: in Warrick county the quality
is the best in wears, and in Jefferson county
the yield is excellent: in Ohio county the
crop is nearly all housed. A fair crop of
potatoes is being dug; the quality is good,
but in many fields there are but few in the
hill Sweet potatoes yield unusually we'll,
and the pumpkin crop is enormous. Sor-
ghum is all cut and yields much molasses.
The onion harvest has begun: in Kosciusl1o
county from 900 TO $1,000 bushels will be
marketed. Cabbages. turnips and other
vegetable are good and abundant. In some
localities heans. kale. clover and timothy
are growing rank Ounces are abundant.
Although showers delayed seeding. wheat
sowing is nearly done in most localities:
large acreage has been sown. and rye and
wheat are coming UP nicely. strong and
vigorous. Live stock is in good condition on
excellent paSturage.
