Poor Condition of Cotton.

The monthly report Of the statistician of
the Department Of Agriculture will show
the average condition Of cotton on June %
to have been S1.1, as compared with 81. &
on the Goth Of the preceding month 75s
on July 1, 1900: s7.s at the corresponding
date in 1890 ten year average of S6.3
and fifteen year average Of S7.5. A con-
dition Of S1.1 is, with the exception of the
July condition reported last year, the low
est recorded condition reported at this sea-
son. Not only was the condition on June
25 the lowest condition recorded with the
exception Of last year, for the cotton re-
gfon as whole at this season but in
Georgia and South Carolina also 1t was
the lowest during the entire period Of thir-
ty-fve years for which records are avafla-
bic, while in North Carolina it was the
lowest with one exception, during the
same period.
Excessive rains followed by heavy
growth Of grass and weeds have caused
much damage in Alabama, Georgia, South
Carolina and North Carolina, while in Lou
isiana and Texas the growth has been re-
tarded by drought. The gravity of the sit
uation is greatly increased in North Caro-
lima, South Carolina and Georgia and to
some extent in other states by a scarcity Of

NOT GOING TO MANILA AT ONCE.
Mistaken Impression In Regard to the
New Regiments.

we" Regiments.
Acting Adjutant General Ward said today
tnat II Is mistake to assume that the ten
new regiments recently organized in this
country are to be sent post haste to the
Philippines to relieve equal number OF
regular troops on that station. He said that
1t Is not the policy Of the War Department
to send any more troops to the Philippines,
but rather to bring home as soon as conven-
lent the regiments that have had more than
two years service in that tropical climate.
There will be no immediate withdrawal Of
troops from the Philippines beyond those
ments are eventually relieved from service
in the Philippines they will be succeeded by
the regiments freshly organized in this
country.
There are no indications at present that
the services Of any Of the new regiments
will be required in the Philippines for some
time to come. There are now about 10000
regular troops in the Philippines, and 1t is
the purpose of the department to maintain
that strength until conditions will Justify
reduction. The military expenses in the
Philippines are exceedingly heavy, even
under present comparatively peaceful con-
dit1ons, being nearly double the total ex-
penses OF the entire standing army OF about
1900 men before the outbreak of the Span
ish war. The officials of the War Depart
reduce the expenses In the Philippines, and
that is said to be one Of the principal rea-
sons why the heads Of all the staff depart
ments of the army have been ordered to
make personal study of the conditions OF
affairs in that quarter.

GEN. WOOD TO COME HERE
Will Confer With Secretary Root NJ,
Cuban Affair."

The Secretary of War today issued an
order to General Wood, governor general
Of Cuba, authorizing him to come to
Washington at his own convenience for
consultation with the Secretary of War
upon Cuban affairs There is no snec,al
significance in this action, and 1t is said
that it has no reference to political con.
ditions in the island. General Wood recent
ly succumbed to Cuban fever, and as his
ailment does not seem to yield readily to
medical treatment, it has been deemed ad.
visable to authorise the general to go to q
cooler climate in the United States for rest
and recuperation It is said that there is
nothing discouraging in the latest news re-
garding General Woods condition, but it is
felt that his convalescence would be mora
rapid II he were in the United States 1t
ls therefore probable General Wood will
visit this city in the course of two weeks.
