Garc.a's Funeral.

HAVANA (By Csblo). The late Gen.
Calixto Garcia was buried Saturday
without the presence of q single uni
formed comrade in arms. Immense
throngs of his compatriots paid honor
to his memory. wondering as the long
procession defiled through the streets
Of Havana, where the Cuban soldiers
were. The townspeople learned after
the funeral that the Cuban generals
had had q dispute with Governor
General Brooke's staff over the ques-
ton of precedence and had withdrawn
in anger, ordering $50 other officers
and 200 privates ont of the lines. The
members of tine Cuban Assembly also
withdrew aud it is understood that
two of the members of Gen. Brooke
advisory council, Senior Lanusa, Min.
lister of Public Instruction, and Senior
Domingo NJ. Capote, Secretary of Gov
eminent, .ook the view held by the Gu
ban Generals, and retired from the PRO.

Snow in Florida,

A special from Jacksonville, Fla,
says: Unprecedented weather visited
northern Florida Monday. Sleet was
followed by light snow in all western
and middle Florida. The lowest tenn
perature was two degrees below zero at
Tallahassee. 0 degrees above at Jack
sonvillo and a temperature OF from Is
to 40 degrees in the orange belt. Win
ter maturing vegetables were killed.
What damage was done to orange trees
is yet in doubt, subsequent weather be-
ing an important factor in determining.
In the orange belt the temperatures
were not so low as they have been. In
northern Florida the weather was IN.
precedented.

tense cold, the men were we'll covered

THE WORLDS WHEAT SUPPLY.
Il can Thrive Over an Immense Area OF the
Earth'S Surface.

Last summer Sir William CTookeS
made the startling announcement that
England and all civilized nations
stand in deadly peril OF not having
enough to eat" Sir Williams array
Of statistics and his Interpretation at
tracted world wide attention. but sub
sequently several investigators quail
fed to discuss the question raised by
the learned President OF the British
Association have declared his statls-
tics to be at fault and his conclusions
untenable.
The latest contribution on the sub
ject is a paper signed by Sir Jchn
I.awes and Sir Henry Gilbert. to whom
the London Times refers as 1.-The high
est authorities on scientific agricul-
ture." They are unable to infer. rs
Sir William CrOokes did, that because
the wheat exports OF the United
States diminished and our wheat
growing area declined in 1896 we
are reaching the limit OF our produc-
tive capacity and in generation Will
consume all our wheat at home aud
be driven to import. They argue for
because prices fell SO far as to be dis
astrous for producers. The available
supply of wheat depends upon its
market value and little or no extern
sion Of the area of production is to be
| expected when prices are low for a
series Of years.
1t has recently been shown by an
American economist that we are still
far from utilizing all Gus wheat-grow-
ing area. But. even had we reached
it's limit. there is still the possibility.
as these British experts declare, Of III
creasing our product 10 the area. Our
yield is only between twelve and thir-
teen bushels TO the acre, against an
average Of twenty-eight bushels on
the much poorer lands of the United
kingdom, which are better cultivated
and under a proper system of rotation
They accordingly see in the United
States, Russia, Argentine and ether
fine wheat regions great inherent ana
still unused capabilities of producing
the cereal. They speak also OF the
great undeyeloped wheat lands OF Can
ada and other parts of the world
which, for lack of population and labor
or cheap transport, are as yet only
partly opened or not ut all.
Wheat is hardy plant. able t.
withstand considerable frost, yieidin:
better than many plants do i'll poo

to favorable conditions of climate

and the rapidly growing number o
wheat eaters need not fear that tn

Trouble With the Cubaus,

A special from Havana says: The i'll
feeling on the part of the Cubaus
toward Major General Brooke, over the
question of precedence that arose in
regard to the procession at the funeral
of General Calixto Garcia has greatly
moderated in the light of explanations
that have been made. On the other
hand, there is disposition now to
censure the Cuban generals, who tax
ing offence when none was offered. or.
dered their soldiers out of line and re-.
tired themselves.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal
LOUIsvILLE, Ky. NEW YORK, K.Y.


An English war correspondent in a
Cuban prison sent for tailor to make
him a suit of clothes, but On the arrival
of the man of the shears the prisoner
found he could only consult with him
through the bars. and had to stand
quite close to them to be measured. In
a few days, however, the tailor again
appeared IN the scene with the gar
ments cut out and pinned together for
fitting on. and this he accomplished
by stretching his arms through the
window bars as before until the eft"
was to his mind correct. When the
correspondent came to wear this extra
ordinary suit short time after he
found 1t most satisfactorily, and we'll

worn In London now with much pride.

The Germania fiOes Down

The White Star Line steamer Ger
mania sank at her pier in North River
in New York and is now lying there
partially submerged. The accident is
said to have been due to the heavy
coating Of ice which formed on the
sides OF the steamer. The continued
loading of coal, combined with the
heavy weight Of ice, caused the steamer
