Weekly Crop Bulletin
Denver, July 10, 1898

The past week has been consid-
erably cooler than the normal
along the eastern border and in
the southern counties; elsewhere
the temperature has been very
close to the normal. Practically
no rain has fallen in the south
eastern counties, but frequent and
heavy rainsss wish hail have been
feature in Weld, Logan, and
Chaffee counties, over parts of the
divide, and the south-central coun-
ties, including San Luis park. On
the western slope the showers have
been generally light. The weather
conditions have been favorable to
crops except in the districts visited
by heavy precipitation. Grain
and alfalfa have been lodged by
the heavy rains, and hail has seri-
ously damaged wheat and potatoes
in parts of Weld county and over
small areas in other parts of the
eastern slope. In Rio Grande
county hail was very destructive
to several thousand acres of wheat,
Potatoes are doing well, but in
localities the ground is still too
wet. Harvesting of wheat, rye
and barley is under way in differ
ent parts of the state; wheat is
making good progress in San Luis
Park Some damage to pears and
apples from blight is reported.
Small fruits, especially raspber-
ries, are plentiful, but plums and
apricots are scarce. Early peach
es are ripening rspidly in Mesa
county. The mountain rains have
materially improved the water
supply.

SAMPSON sCHLEY LITERATURE

The controversy over the question to
whom belongs the glory of the victory
over the Spanish fleet at Santiago is
destined to give rise to a vast amount
of literature. if nothing else. The latest
contribution comes from Baltimore
CMaryland is ready to so to war in
behalf of Schley) and appeared in the
Sun of that city. The Sun says it has
come to be pretty well understood that
there is an old feud between Commo-
dore Schley and Rear Admiral Samp-
son. and that if a story that comes
from a seaport in North Carolina be
accurate. and which is really vouched
for by a well-known naval officer,
whose name is suppressed for obvious
reasons, Sampson has held an old
grudge against Schley from the days
when they were young officers in the
navy. The account of the feud, as told
by the naval officer. was sent TO gen.
tleman stopping at a leading hotel in
Baltimore. The naval officers story, as
given by the Sun, runs thus:
When Schley was either an ensign or
a lieutenant. he was on board ship with
Sampson. then q lieutenant. and a diff
nculty occurred between than, and ever
since a grudse has ranked in the
breast of Sampson. The difficulty, years
and years ago, originated in this way:
one day Sampson, then a lieutenant,
missed some bananas which, he had
hung up in the ship to ripen. He was
very angry over the loss of the fruit.
and tried to find the thief. Finally, he
came TO the conclusion that q certain
marine was the calprit, and sent for
him. and accused him of taking the ba-
nanas The marine replied Indignantly
that he had not seen the bananas, and
that he was no thief. This Infatuated

for lying as well as stealing" Samp-
son sent for the druggist and gave the
poor marine an iWm. nse dose OF ipecac.
Schley was ashore at the time, but

what had caused the suffering of the
sailor. Sampson told the whole i-ci-
dent The matter so inceased Sch,ey
that he exclaimed: mo gentleman
would treat poor marine that wayl"
And Schley, following the exclamation,
slapped Sampson in the face
Then a scene followed Sampson de-
manded satisfaction. Schley reminded
him that it was against the regulations
for naval officers TO receive or send
challenges to fight a duel. but added:
THAT need not prevent your getting
satisfaction. sir. We can both resign
today ard then fight it out
Sampson did not resign, did not seek
satisfaction. and the matter was aD
parently dropped there. But it appears
that Sampson has never forgotten the
episode, and the sting of Schleys slap
is still felt
Now, years after this difficulty of
their young days, the matter comes up
again. When the war with Spain COM
menced and Admiral Sicard, owing to
illness, had to give up the command of
the squadron then lying at Key West,
the secretary OF the navy looked around
for an officer to take command. Com
modore Watson and Commodore Schley
both outranked Captain Sampson, and
either apparently should have been Sc
lected TO succeed Sicard. But Captain
Sampson succeeded in getting COM
mand Of the squadron then at Key
West, and was made an acting rear adj
miral and began the Blockade before
Havana. In the meantime, a flying
squadron was organized at Hampton
Roads. and Commodore Schley was
then in Spain. Sampson sailed over to
Porto Rico and bombarded San Juan,
and returned TO Key West. In the
meantime Cervera had crossed the At
lantic and was in the Caribbean sea-
The administration at Was hington was
worried. and Commodore Schley was
ordered to take his flying squadron and
locate Cervera. Ii didn't take Schley
long TO locate Cervera in the bay of
Santiago, where the Spaniard was bot
tied Ed
BY this time Sampson was ordered to
Santiago. No sooner had he arrived
at Santiago than he was given author
ity to write one brief order winning the
flying squadron out of name and ANAL
gamating it with his own fleet. This
act placed Sampson in command of the
combined fleets and left Commodore
Schley with the power of captain on
his former flagship, the Brooklyn. But
nobody heard any grumbling from
Schlcy. He submitted quietly.
Then came the long blockade before
Santiago. Finally, Cervera made a dash
ont of the harbor and attempted to es-
cape. Sampson was u miles away on
his flagship. New York. Schley acted
promptly, and the great victory was
followed by controversy. And barking
backward from this controversy We
hear the echo of that other controversy
years ago between the two youthful
naval officers.
The story reads we'll. but sounds very
fshy, still. as contribution to sub
iect that is attracting much attention,
and which is surely destined to be ex-
plotted in the halls of congress, it is
very interesting.
Decatur and Barron settled their diff
hculties differently.

FIRST AMERICAN MISSIONARY
TO MANILA.

Some weeks so The Herald made the
suggested that if the Roman Catholic
hierarchy il America would request
Rome to send to Manila as archbishop
of the Philippines such a man as Arch
bishop Ireland or Archbishop Riorda2,
and the request were granted, it would
do more than anything else to show the
Philippines that their ideas of the Am
erican government and its citizens and
their aims and purposes are erroneous,
and that the prejudices they have i'm
bibed against them are without founda-
ton. The idea thrown out by this pa
per is to be acted upon to a certain ex-
tent. There has gone to Manila with
General Merritt as an army chaplain
Rev. Francis Brooks Doherty, the IA
nous Paulist missionary. He goes not
merely as an army chaplain, but more
particularly to explain to the natives
that the American soldiers are not rob-
bers and do not intend to steal their re-
ligion from them. No. time has been
fixed for him to stay, but only so long
as he needs to accomplish this work.
In teaching the natives the truth re-
garding the American soldiers he will
have the powerful aid of the example
and cocduct of the American soldiers
themselves. In the United States
Father Doherty has had a wide ex-
perience in the missionary field and is
well qualified to discharge his new and
highly important duties. The surest and /
quickest way to remove the prejudices
of the people of the Philippines against
the Americans is to send American
Catholic missionaries among them; be-
tween them and the people there there
is no religious barrier.
Success to Father Doherty in his en-
deavors to remove anti-American pref
ulices and false ideas from the minds
of the natives of the Philippines.
