supposed. That this was not so takes
nothing from his fame. He did not know
it. Had it been true he in his flagship
would have been the first victim of what
few have been hardy enough to call his
recklessness. But to fight he must get
within striking distance of the enemy. His
passage Of Corregidor under cover of night
was but proper precaution to avoid possi-
BILE Gripping before meeting Monteio.
What a difference in the estimation of
the world of the republic of America be-
tween sunset of Saturday, April 80, and
the dawn of Sunday, May /. AS the ships
drew near the mouth OF Manila harbor the
world watched with eagerness, fearing
and sene hoping that the daring American
commander would be whipped. He attack
ed force stronger than his-on paper
and could at best, the critics said, make it
a drawn battle. BIT with the smothering
fire of his rapid-fire guns, the accuracy of
aim for which Americans on land and sea
are noted, he bore down on the Spanard
and not only won, but annihilated him in
less than half day Of lighting.
That battle changed the face of the
globe. That battle taught the scornful
lords of Europe with their enormous mill
tary and naval establishments, to respect
the starry banner. With fewer ships than
most other nations. few Deweys and a
few such men behind the guns as fought
at Cavite, would be formidable opponents
to the mightiest feet under sail. Nations
fell over each other in their desire to ex-
press their wondering admiration for the
man who dared and the men who executed
under his direction. TO be an American
was no longer thing 10 disguise in cafe
or playhouse over the ocean. 1t was to be
eourted aud fiattered by those who once
likened Yankee 10 pig. The battle of
Manila Is a landmark in history for the
study of the nations of the earth.

WINTER WHEAT OUTLOOK FAIR.
Reports in Some States Are Bad, but
Others Geod

Reports on the condition Of winter
wheat have been received by the Farmers s
Review from its correspondents in Illinois,
Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky, Ohio, Mis-
souri, and Kansas. In northern Illinois
the outlook is extremely discouraging
many of the farmers declaring they will
turn up their crops entirely. In such
counties as Schuyler and Adams only 10
per cent win be left, while in Logan, Ma
conpin, Sangamon, Shelby, and Knox
counties rs per cent will be plowed under.
W southern Illinois the reports are far
from bright, but more hopeful than those
nearer Chicago.
Recent rims have brought hapos of nras-
perity TO tillers OF the soil IN indiana. In
the central part Of the State the reports
are quite encouraging. Early sown whea.
in Kentucky looks WE'LL but the late sown
bad. The conditions are said to be gem
orally fair. Kansas has little better tid-
ings to report than Illinois. Snow saved
the wheat in Michigan, where high hopes
are expressed by the farmers. In Wex-
ford County an exception is recorded, how
ever, correspondents claiming that 80 per
cent will have to be turned under
Missouri has had variety Of fortune
In her wheat. Half the counties in the
northern part of the State will be almost
destitute of crops. Southern and central
Missouri farmers have been more fortu-
nate. Correspondents in Usage, Benton,
Franklin, Hickory, Miller and Bates coun-
ties say only per cent will have to be
plowed up. In Ohio the best reports are
from Huron, Geauga, Hancock and Ma
honing counties, where condition ranges
from 95 to 100 per cent. The reports on
the whole from this State are highly en-
couraging.

Although the Secretary of War and

PHILIPPINES ARE PAID FOR.

The last move in the negotiations termi-
mating the war with Spain occurred in
Washington Monday when Secretary Hay
paid to the French ambassador, NJ. Cam
bon, the $20,000,000 provided by the
treaty of peace for the cession of the Phil
ippines. The payment was made in four
treasury warrants Of $4,000, 600 each and
was receipted for by NJ. Cambon as COM

United States in this connection.
The ambassador deposited the $40, ,OO0,-

Assistant Secretary Of the Treasury
Vanderlip handed to Secretary Hay the
the drafts for $40, ,ano, 900 to be turned
over to the Spanish Government through
Ambassador Cambon. The State Depart
ment at once sent word to the French am

WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.

Gen. Otis finds 1t impossible to maintain
telegraphic communication with Gen.
Lawton. Small bands OF the enemy cut
the wires as fast as the signal corps can
erect them.
Gen. Joe Wheeler will not go to the
Philippines. That has been definitely de-
cided. He will probably be placed in com
mand of the department of Texas, which
is to be revived.
A Spanish prisoner brought into the
American lines states that Gen. Hale's
brigade inflicted terrible losses on the Fill
pinos during the fight at Quingua. He
says that more than 200 Filipinos were
killed in the fight.
The three brigadier generals who will
go TO the Philippines are Gen. Fred
Grant, who is now on his way from Porto
Rico: Gen. Bates. recently military gov
ernor of Santa C!ara province, Cuas. and
Gen. S. NJ. B. Young.
0fieiai dispatches from Manila say that
the Spanish garrison at Baler continues to
hold out against the insurgents. Gen.
Otis declined to accept the proposal OF
Cen. Rios to send Spanish troops to the
relier Of the beleaguered garrison. He
decided to send an American fcrce to res
cue the Spaniards.
At l'ulilan, few miles east OF Galum-
pit, WhSeler's troop of the Fourth cav

small body ,f insurgents. who failed TO &c

raised white Hag. and In the parley

negotiations for an armistice. The Amer
teams gave them half an hour to get away.

McCulloch are still under the fire of the
land batteries on either side. Success for
the commodore's plan of slipping by in

rushes from the funnel of the little cutter.

A Strong Tide of Wouid- Be Citizens

The springtime of immigration has set
In. There is a greater influx of foreigners
now than for years past, due probably TO
the advertising Uncle Sam got out of the
Spanish war. More Firms have come to
the United States in the last three months
than in all the months OF last year pp.
together. Russian Mennonites, Swe1es.
Irish and small proportion OF the Irslian
immigrants are viewed with favor BY the
immigration officials. Recently consi,i-

been coming over; some OF them were go
ing up into New England to take up the
abandoned farms there, and others were
bound for the West. They are better ed
ucated, quicker witted and great deal

The rest OF the Italians and the Eastern
peoples. Greeks. Tlsks and syrians, are
not cordially welcomed 10 these shores by
