HEAVY EXPORTS.
More Corn Shipped This January Than
Any Other In the Ports History.


Any Other In the Ports History.
The exports Of corn from this port
for the month of January, 1898. up to
date, is 1,535,2iI bushels, or 1G2,3S5
bushels more than the shipments Of
corn from this port in any other jan
uary since it was established. 1t is
probable that this differenc" will be
swelled Monday WHICH is the last day
of The month.
Other January exports of corn nrc as
follows: January, 1897, 1,3T2,9lA: Jan
uary 1896, 1261, 1G4; January, 1895. 5Si,-
13S; January, 1894. S9,0S9.
Not only is this the largest Jan
uary shipment of corn, but it Is the
largest, with two exceptions, in the his
tory OF the trade here. in February,
1897. 2,G9S.742 bushels went out and
In March, of the sume year, the total
was 2,2i4,i05
Indications are that the corn exports
for 1898 will go considerably ahead of
those of last year, which were very
large. The corn exports for last week
alone amounted TO 7ii,S02 bushels
nearly nine times as much as was
shipped from here during the entire
month of January, 1894, and nearly
900 bushels more than went out dur
ing January. 1895.

The Rome correspondent of the
Daily Chronicle says:
The pope, it is rumored, has tele-
graphed the queen regent begging
her not to compromise the future of

played by the Spanish navy, could not
be other than honorable"

A HEAVY LOSS.
Seventeen Hundred Wen Killed and
Wounded In Shaiser's Army
Re1Orc Santiago. -

Washington, July 6.-Dispatches
from the army before Santiago say
that the fighting during Friday and
Saturday, July l and 2, cost the
American army 1,700 men. This esti-
mate is made by the surgeons at di-
vision headquarters after careful fig
uring by the surgeons at the hos
pitfalls. e..
The list of wounded as made up at
the division headquarters is. very
large in proportion to the list of those
killed outrights .-+ - -'~N- r
Probably less than 100, all todd, of
the number of wounded have died,
making the total number Of dea tbs
in the neighborhood OF 150. The re-
mainder of the wounded Will prob
a'bly recover. sirfr~
Considering the fact that not more
than 1000 men were engaged on our
side, and that not all OF those were
actually under fire, he percentage of
loss was very heavy. The slaughter
was brought about mainly by the gall
lantry with which our troops ad-
vanced into the open ground in the
face of a heavy fire from the Spanish
intrenchments and rife pits.
Our men ganerallx had an opinion
that the Spaniards could not shoot.
and many, it mist be confessed,
thought they woilid not fight. Both
impressions were erroneous, particu-
larly the latter. The Spanish have
fought with great termination and
bravery
The returns show that number of
regiments suffered very heavily, the

worst cut up, of the volunteer regi-
ments, and fhe Thirteenth and Sixth
