Of Contributions.

Come.


Come.
Washington. Aug. 1.-THE war de-
partment received two dispatches from
Gen. Davis yesterday confirming the
previous reports of restitution and dis
tress in Porto Rico. Gen. Davis says
thousands will have to be fed for sew
eral months. He estimates that 100000
are homeless and destitute, and asks for
immediate shipments of foods and sup
plies. The preparations to send relief
to the sufferers are progressing rapidly.
Every effort is being made to clear the
army transport that will carry supplies.
The contributions from cities and other
sources outside the federal government
have not assumed such proportions as
to warrant an organized effort to dis
tribute them.
( The following are the dispatches re-
ceived from Gen. Davis:

throughout the island is not yet known
because of total destruction of all tele-
graphic connections and great destruc-

fourth of the towns yet heard from, but
enough is known to warrant the state
ment that one-fifth of the dwellings, in
the island are destroyed and their own
ers are without any shelter Whatever,
or any food beyond what has been
saved from the debris. The coffee crop
and most of the trees are ruined. and

BIG YIELD OF OATS.
A Marshall County Field Runs Sixty
six Bushels to the Acre, Thresher

Measure.
Threshing was begun Friday on the
farm of Anton Estel one and one half
miles north of tho city on Center street,
and the yield in one particular field, at
any rate is going to be exceedingly
large. The grain is in excellent condi-
ton for harvest and according to
thresher measure is going to yield six
ty-six bushels to the acre. This, of
course, is a little lighter than the grain
will actually weigh out after harvest,
and experts at oat harvesting say that
they think this field on the Estel farm
will yield fully seventy bushels to the
acre.
Wheat on the Estel farm also went
large, yielding between twenty-eight
and thirty bushels an acre.

Bradstreet's SAYS: The trade gath
efs strength as summer wanes. Reports
Iof expanding fall demand arrive. ac-
companied by very cheerful advioes
rs to the outlook in most parts Of the
country. In manufacturing lines pro-
|duction appears to be at minimum,
and the price situation retains most OF
its old strength. Notable in the mat
ter of added strength are most of the
cereals and iron and steel in many
forms. The impetus given to wheat
prices by the government report last
week has been further reinforced by
less favorable crop advioes from other
countries, notably India. and export
business is reported as somewhat inn
proved.
