Condition of Wheat

The Daily Trade Bulletin publishes a
summary of estimates by its correspondents
on the area seeded in winter wheat and
the percentage of damage by the unsea-
sonable weather during the past two
months. The reports show
East Of the Allegheny Mountains the
damage was slight as the crop was fairly
well protected by snow. The samo Is true
of Ohio and Michigan. In Indiana consid-
cradle damage is reported, while in South
CRU Illinois the outlook ia very unfayor-
able. In Missouri considerable damage
hast sustained. Reports from Kan
sns are decidedly unfavo-able, and the
loss in that Sta o is quite serious In Tex
rs also he damage Is larger than general
ly anticipated. In the northern part of
Kentucky the crop is in rather good con-
dition, but In the southern part of the
State and in Tennessee the severe winter
weather made inroads on the growing
crop. In Iowa the loss IL fairly large and
in Nebraska the uIlook is decidedly dis
courasing. In Wisconsin the damage
was rather serious. In California the
prospects are excellent.
A summary Of The reports, in conjunc-
ton with late State reports, indicate that
the condition of the winter wheat crop of
the United States is not to exceed rs,
which even on he increased acreage would
not produce enough to exceed 355, 100000
10 6O,OOO,OO0 bushels, or 20,OO100 les,
than last year. States east of the Rocky
Mountains will probably show a shortage
of 35,OU0,O00 to 4O,000,OOO bushels at the
pIesent outlook, which will be partly re-
du,ed by the Increase in the production in
California. Seeding of spring wheat Is
decidedly backward in Nebraska, Iowa,

From present appearances they will
have an excellent opportunity THIS
year and they should accept it.
Perhaps then the party leaders
will learn some sense.
EX-SENATOR Higgins, counsel for
William E. Cotter, who was convict
ed on Wednesday of conspiracy
with William N. Boggs. has filed
reasons for new trial which will
be argued on Monday. Attorney
Higgins declares that the verdict
was against the evidence and the
law. Evidently the twelve good
and true men," who constituted the
jury that heard the evidence and
gave tine verdict, thought otherwise.
But men differ in opinion. as the
outcome of the argument for a new
trial on Monday will bear us out.
THERE does not, as yet, appear
to be rush among the Republican
candidates, to be willing to take the
chances OF being nominated Tor
Mayor. Then theneXt thing would
be the election TO the office. With
two Republican tickets in the field,
there will be but one alternative,
and that is that the Democratic
candidate, if the proper man, will
be elected. The REPUBLICAN does
not like to see So much pickering in
the party and the sooner it ends,
the better for the future of the Re-
publican party in Delaware.

WANTS OUR TROOPS WITHDRAWN

The Recently Deposed Cuban Com
manderWill Doubtless Be Reinstated
and VIII Come Out as Political
Leader, Urging Cuban Republic.
Havana, April THE Cuban military
assembly being dead, General Gomez will
take up his program Of solidifying the
Cuban people into party that shall,
without ceasing, urge the United States
to withdraw from the island. His pur-
pose is to make the people seem to have
but one emotion, one desire-the thought
of independence and Of absolute separa-
ton from the United States. g
General Gomez considers the dissolu.
ton Of the assembly as his personal
achievement, aided by the military ad-
ministration here and countenanced at
Washington. He believes that he
energies from the controversy with the
assembly stronger than ever with the
better classes. His theory is that the
Cubans who before thought him merely
an adroit guerrilla chief are now pre-
pared to regard him as political leader,
and that few days more will probably
see him in name general in chief of the
army.
On Wednesday the Cuban General
Pedro Diaz, who commands in the prov.
ihce of Pinar del Rio, invited several

Colonel Smith, the governor Of the

of bandits, headed by man named
Papaissio, attempted a rebellion on
March ~ and killed several officials of
Juman,aylan. He also captured other
officials and issued a proclamation call
ing upon the natives to rise and ex-
terminate the Americans and Spaniards.
Major Slime and two companies of the
California regiment were dispatched by

and Colonel Duboce and two other COM
panies Of troops were sent overland. On
April this force marched IL miles and

bandits, and destroyed the town. The

generals and brigade commanders who
are friendly to Gomez to conference
regarding the latter's future course. As
many who were invited were at soma
distance from Havana and could not ar
rive here in time for the meeting, there
were only few actually present, but
the possibility of rcinstating Gomez as
commander in chief was informally dis
cnsscd. with the result that little or no
opposition to the proposal developed.
Another meeting will be held, and no
other candidate is possible.
General Gomez, If rcinstated, would be
of greater service to the United States
in the disbursement Of the 100000
but his political program means the keep,
ing up of agitation and disturbance in
the minds of the people and the weaken
ing of the American authority by pro-
ducing the impression that everything
done by the Americans is temporary and
may sooner or later be overturned.
American observers consider any such
agitation as extremely harmful to the
industrial revival and the restoration Of
Cuban credit. Some who are high in
authority and who have exceptional ap.
portunities of knowing the character and
ideas of Gomez think the United States
government may have trouble with him
yet His attitude has always been con.
siStcnt regarding independence for Cuba,
and he is still working for the same end.
His character is narrow, resolutc, arbi-
trary. exacting and likely to make him
constant disturber.
The national Cuban party and the
Liga Patriotica continue their campaigns
for the formation of the party of Cuban
independence. Efforts are now being
made to effect consolidation Of the two
movements. The principal difference be.
tween them seems to be that one wishes
ward representatives in national CON
vention to be chosen according to the
number of voters in a ward, while the
other insists upon three delegates for
each ward. without regard to the num-
Der of voters in it. The probability is
that a union will soon he effected.
