Following is general summary oi the weekly crop bulletin, issued from the Little Rock weather bureau, for the week ending June 18th:
 The weather has been favorble for the cultivation and growth of crops, farm CTS have taken advantage of the favorble conditions and have their crops in fine condition. Where they have been prop erly cultivated the crops made rapid growth and are looking well. The harvesting of wheat and oats has be- gun and will be general the coming week. In some localities wheat is thin on the grSund but the quality is good. Oats have been injured some by rust; in some sections the yield will be good, while in others the prospects are not very aattering. Cotton is backward for this season of the year; generally the plant is healthy and growing nicely un- der the present conditions. Corn is doing well in most sections many fields have been laid by in good condition. Potatoes will yield fair crop. Fruit will be short. Berries are abundant in many sections

JOUBET'S PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.
The TransvaaI Commander Has Cut Out a Job that May Puzzle Him to
 Accomplish.

London, June 20.-The St. James Gazette claims to have received from an absolutely reliable source at Pre- toria, capital of the Transvaal, the plan of campaign which will be fol- lowed by Gen. Joubert, commander-in- chief of the Boers, in the event of war between the Transvaal and Great Brit ain. Gen. Joubert's forces, it appears will consist of 10000 men armed with Mauser rifles, in addition to 46 quick firing guns and 1000 artillerymen, most of them drawn from the Ger, man and Dutch armies. With these troops and help expected from the Orange Free State, Joubert expects to take the offensive immediately af- ter the declaration of war, enter the Orange Free State, and march on Kim berley, the British diamond mining center in West Ghiqualand, which forms four e the TO divisions of Cape Colony. Kimberley is about 100 miles northwest of Bloemfontein. In his march on Kimberley, Joubert will use the railroad as far as available, and expects to capture the town with slight loss, and blow up the DeBeers diamond mine. Simultaneously, it is added, the railroad from Cape Town to Bulawayo will be destroyed by Boer sympathizers and agents in Cape Col ony, who will destroy the Port Eliza. beth-Pretoria line south of Bloemfon- tein, to prevent British troops from using it.
 Finally, immediately after Kimber- ley is captured, Gen. Joubert will ad- vance on Cape Town, the capital of Cape Colony, through the western provinces, where the Dutch predomi- nate, and are expected to join the Beers. Joubert calculates that he will be master of Cape Town fort night after the declaration of war, and that he will then be able to dictate terms of peace.

DEATH ON THE YUKON TRAIL.
A Story of Starvation, Possible Cannibai- ism and Death Among Yukon
 Gold-Seekers.

Circle City, Alaska, May %, via San Francisco, June 19.-A story of possi- bic cannibalism and death on the Nu- kon trail has just reached here. Three men who left Dahl river, on December ,, for Jimtown, were not heard of again, and they were supposed to have been lost. Nothing was heard of them here till the steamer Rideout. just ar- rived, brought a terrible tale of sui fering and horror.
 The men were Michael Daly, Victor Ediar and M Provost. They were from Providence, R. l.. Woonsoeket, k. l., and Brockton, Mass, respectively. Their bodies were discovered r miles from the mouth of Old Mans creek, they having lost the trail and become bewildered. Having left Dahl river with only three weeks food, but which was amply sufficient for the 150 miles to Jimtown, the poor fellows were soon reduced to starvation.
 Daly's body was found, partly eaten, in a tent, on the stove, just as it.was left when death overlook the others. Some scraps of moose hide and moeea- sin were found, of which they were endeavoring to make a stew.
 Daly's body was identified by the clothes. The other two men were found dead five miles away from the tent. The fact of the tent flaps being shut down when found would seem to pre- clude the possibility of Daly's body having been eaten by animals. The other men doubtless were driven by hunger to the awful extremity of can nibalism. Four. hundred dollars were found on the bodies.
 The seven boats which wintered at Dahl river are all safe. They are the St. Michael, Reindeer, Monarch, Evans, Mary Graf, Luem and Ridecut.

COSTLY TAGAL TREACHERY.
A Accommodating Party of the Fourth Infantry Attacked in the Rear by
 Apparently Friendly Natives.

Manila, june 10, s:20 D. m.-A bat taiion of the Fourth infantry, which left linus, where Gen. Wheaton is in command, this morning, to reconnoiter towards Feres las Marinas. where it was believed most of the rebels who escaped from Paranque and Bakoor, had fed, was attacked in the rear by apparently friendly natives. This brought on sharp engagement, last ing several hours, resulting in i've Americans being killed and about 25 being wounded. The loss of the rebels was very heavy.
 The battalion soon exhausted it's ammunition. and at 2:30 this after noon Gen. Wheaton and his staff, with the second battalion, two mountain guns and one field piece, went to rein force the troops attacked. Gen. Whea- to was fired on in road, and had q narrow escape.
 Later, the third battalion was or. dered to the front, and formed on the Las Minas road. Heavy firing on both sides followed, the artillery being free. ly used. The enemy was located in the woods at four o'clock, showing signs of retiring, as the rebels were being pressed very hard. One gun of the Sixth artillery, in an advantageous position, did great execution.
 The fighting was still in progress at five o'clock, at which time the Ameri- cans had secured a quantity of Filipi- no arms, which had been abandoned in the woods.
 The scene of the fight is over 20 miles from Manila.
