The area planted in wheat in the
United States this year, according to
the statistician Of tho department Of
Agriculture at Washington, is 81 mil
lion acres larger than last year aud
nearly 10 per cent larger than was
ever devoted to this cereal before.
This great increase in area is result
Of the high price received by the
farmers for the crop produced in 1897,
and if the present conditions are
maintained the aggregate yield will
greatly exceed that of any other year.

Gov. Ellcrbe is correct when he
says South Carolina would be better

once in every two years.

1.-The latest news from the war says
that an American squadron, under com
mand Of Commodore Watson, will sail
at once for Spain and attack the Span
ish coast. Santiago is being surrounded
by the United States troops, who we're
within four miles of the city on Mon
day, and terrible battle is expected
vithin the next few days.
The war with Spain has already
had beneficial results. 1t has turned
tho minds Of tho people from the !

progressive ideas and realization Of
the dcfcnsclcss condition the war
found this country in. The compcn-

It is said that as soon as the war
with Spain comes to close General
Fitzhugh Lee will be offered the
Presidency of the T T.xas State Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College in
Bryan, which has been vacant for
some time. There are forty appli-
eants for the position, and their eager
rivalry has prevented the choice Of
any one Of them. They will all with
draw in favor of Lee.

DIXON RESTS SANTRY
 IN TWENTY ROUNDS
Gains the Decision at the End of a Clean and Scientific
 Contest

NEW YORK, June 6.-George Dixon, the hards colored boxer, gained a deci- sion over Eddie Santry of Chicago, be- fore the Lenox Athletic Club tonight. They fought twenty clean and scientific rounds, in which Santry proved himself a clever ring general. His defensive work was admirable, and he was very shifty and cleverly blocked many of Dixon's s leads. Both were comparatively fresh at the end of the twentieth round, and while the decision of Referee Charley White was a just one,- it did not give general satisfaction. Neither man went to the floor during the twenty rounds.
 Dixon began the fight by rushing, and the first round was all Dlxon's. He land and twice on the ribs without receiving @ blow in return. After the first round the Chicago lad gave a good account of himself, though Dixon continued the ag- gressor. In only one round, the sixth, did the Chicago boy appear to have any advantage over Dixon, but he drew the only blood in the eleventh round, when Dixon's eye began to bleed, after San try had landed a hard right on the face.
 Kid Mccoy was at the ring side and informed Matchmaker ORourke that he had injured one of his legs while train ing. O'Rourke said the McCoy-C -Choynski bout, which was to have taken place be- fore this club on the Eth of this month, would have to be postponed in conse- quence, and @ bout between Dixon and tuted. Mccoy and O'Rourke will meet Choynskfs representatives tomorrow when another date for the match will be arranged.

MANY SHOTS FROM WARSHIPS
NEW YORK AND NEW ORLEANS
 LOMBARD SOMETHING.
There Is a Probability That the Tar get Was a Darkened Railway Train Moving Along
 the Shore.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

ON BOARD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH BOAT DAUNT- LESS, off Santiago de Cuba, June 5 (via Kingston, Jamaica, June 6, 1 a. m.).-Whether or not the American fleet sank a Spanish torpedo boat de- stroyer on Friday night has not been absolutely ascertained.
 At 10 o'clock Friday night the cruiser New Orleans discovered what appeared to be a torpedo boat destroyer close to the shore and signaled the flagship New York that it was evident that a night torpedo attack was to be made. The New York and New Orleans open ed fire and their shells burst around the dark object. Finally 13-inch shell from the Massachusetts (not the Oregon, as first reported) was fired and exploded, and the searchlights of the vessels were turned on the spot where the supposed destroyer had been sight ed, but not a trace of the boat could be found, and it was believed by the off, cers of the New York that she had been sunk
 The first assumption was that the vessel was the Terror, but it is believed now that it was the Fulton or the Flu TOT, as the Terror is not understood to have been at Santiago. On Saturday two SchwarZkopf torpedoes were found floating two miles south of Fl Morro. This class of torpedo is used by the Spanish, and one of the two found had only a practice head.
 Many officials of the fleet believe that a darkened railway train that was moving along the shore was the real object of the bombardment, instead of a destroyer. No wreckage has been found; no bodies have been noticed, and 1t is possible that the torpedoes were some of those fired at the collier hnt.

The lecture last night touched mainly on the famous col onization schemes which have since passed down into history. Next Monday night Professor French will give his time more particularly to a description of the colonies and the present condition of the colonists. The lectures are illustrated by stereopticon views, which make them more interesting and imnreSsiye
