February and March - Other Items.
Crop Report for April.

The Michigan crop report for April,
says that the extremely cold weather
in February was followed by peculiar
and exceedingly disagreeable weather
in March. While the temperature for
the month has not been lower than
usual, yet the conditions have not been
at all favorable to crops. There has
been more or less precipitation all
through the month, but this has not
benefited wheat much, as the snow
was either blown away or melted
nearly as soon as it fell. There has
been much freezing and thawing, es-
pecially during the first half OF the
month. This has caused many fields
TO be covered with water, or partly so
at least, which was unable to settle
away, as the ground was frozen to
great depth. In answer to the ques-
tion HAS wheat during March suffered
injury from any cause?' 3O5 correspon-
dents in the southern counties answer

Gomez and His Cuban independence.

The Cuban military assembly being
dead, Gen Maxine Gomez will take
up his program of solldifying the
Cuban people into party that shall,
without ceasing, urge the United
States to withdraw from the island
HIS purpose Is to make the people seem
to have but one emotion, one desire
the thought of independence and of
absolute separation from the US Gen.
Gomez, if reinstated, " ould be of great
service to the United States in the dis
bursemelt of the $4,000, 900, but his
political program means the keeping
up of agitation and disturbance in the
minds of the people and the weaken
ing of American authority by produc.
ing the impression that everything
done by the Americans is temporary
and may sooner or later be overturned,
hence American observers consider any
such agitation as extremely harmful
to the industrial revival and the res
toration of Cuban credit.
