Good Stand, But are Pro
crossing Slowly.

WASHINGTON. June THE week
ly report of the United States wealth
er bureau issued today says that in
aearly all districts east of the Rocky
Mountains the week has been abnor-
mally cool. with excessive rains from
the South Atlantic and east gulf coast
northward to the lower lake region
and a continuation of drought condi-
tions in portions of the Missouri. cen
tral and lower Mississippi valleys and
portions of Texas.
Frosts were of general occurrence
throughout the Rocky Mountain dis.
tricts and in the upper Missouri val
ley and upper lake region. causing
slight damage in most of these dis
tricts. On the Pacific coast the
in California. where it was unseason-
ably cool and rains caused serious in
jury to hay and fruit.
Corn has made slow growth in the
central Mississippi and Ohio valleys
but in the southern states a general
improvement is reported. In Iowa
and Nebraska the stands are good
and cultivation is in progress. Plant
ing is generally finished.
Winter wheat continues In need of
rain in the lower Missouri and central
Mississippi valleys, but has expert.
enced further Improvement in the

CUBAN BONDS.
An Immense Sum viii Be Required
to liqudate.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The adop
tisn of the Platt amendment by the
Cuban constitutional convention does
not settle matters nor release Cuba
from the military control of the Unit
ed States. Congress must apprcv,
the constitution first, and 1t containe
some features which will be carefully
scrutinized before they are endorsed
One of them relates to the payment of
the bonds issued by the so-called pro
vsional republic of Cuba. Nobody
knows how much those bonds amount
to, but it is the general impression
that an enormous amount are out
standing issued by the junta in New
York for nominal sums in cash and
for the influence of persons and news
papers which We're supposed to exer-
else their friendly offices on behalf OF
the insurgents. A certain newspa-
pSr editor who was violent advocate
of the insurgent cause, is said to have
trunkful, and members of syndi'
cate in New York city which advanc.
ed money to the junta to purchase a
steamer and fit out a filibustering ex
pedition are said to be equally well
supplied. Those who were on the

Two Men Sentenced.

In the district court this morning
man named Henry Phillips plead
guilty to forging an order on Bowman,
the sawmill man, for s2S, which he Sc.
cured He was sentenced by Judge
Russell from 12 to IA months.
VIM. Morgan who has been in
1aii charged with removing some fur
niture from house and selling 1t.
also plead guilty. qualifying his plea
with the statement that the furniture
belonged to him. but in the prelimi-
nary hearing this was not shown. He
also received Il sentence of from II
to IA months.
Durango semi-weekly herald., 1901-06-03

inside of the Cuban junta declare that
nobody knows the exact amount OF
the bonds that We're issued in the
name of the unborn republic. and as
sert also that much of the money ex-
pended by the junta was borrowed
on them as security at the rate of
60 per cent per annum interest.
1t is expected by the holders that
these bonds will all be worth par
wnen the United States recognizes the
independence of the Cuban republic,
and congress will therefore naturally
he cautious about approving such ap-
propriaticl. 1t is also asserted that
equally large loans were incurred by
the Cuban patriots during the ten
years war of 1s6S-7S, and that the
bonds issued to secure them are still
held by the people who expect them
to be paid when Cuban independence
is recognized. These bonds have
thirty years interest accumulated,
which will amount to double their face
value.
The owners of Cuban bonds have
kept very quiet thus far for fear of
exciting an agitation and injuring the
prospect of payment. They are said
to be satisfied with the provision in
the constitution for the redemption of
these securities.
The Platt amendment checks the
bond scheme. for it provides that the
Cuban republic shall not assume or
contract any public debt upon which
the interest may not be paid and a
sinking fund created from the ordi-
nary revenues of the island after the
payment of all the current expenses
of the government. This is matter
of policy rather than Jaw. however
and might be made a little more arbi-
trary.

woman's Suffrage in New York.

WoIldU cpIll aye III 'NSW W
New York Evening Post.
1t is easy to overrate the signifi-
canoe of the passage by the legisla-
ture of the bill giving woman taxpay
ers in villages and towns the right to
vote on propositions to raise money by
tax or assessment. Miss Susan b
Anthony INDUCES in such exaggera-
ton when she treats this as "the en-
tering wedge" when will result in the
early adoption of full woman suffrage
by New York, and joyfully eXclaims
that "the victory is in sight" The
reason that this bill went through the
legislature, and especially for such
overwhelming votes as "a to 29 in the
assembly and q to IA in the senate. Is
that women who have suffered gross
injustice by the old system advocated
the change, and that neither men noi
women presented sufficient argument
against granting the relief sought

Hith the question of suffrage for al
women at all elections. Many of the

rounds that there is no such evidence

men generally as was manifested by

general than in the case of this Inn
