BIG BLAZE AT DAVENPORT.

Fire laid waste an area Of sawmill
and residence property in Davenport,
Iowa, Thursday evening equal to two
ordinary city blocks. The flames start
ed at 2:30 in the big piles of kindling
wood Of the Rock Island Fuel Com
pany on the levee. The brisk breeze
blowing carried the flames directly
across the immense lumber yards Of
Weyerhauser & Denkmann. which soon
were a mass of flames. The spread Of
the fire was SO rapid that the workmen
had barely time to desert the yard,
some losing their coats and dinner
pals. The flames pushed their way
into the adjoining residence district
closely settled with middle-class
homes Of an average value Of a few
thousand dollars each, from which the
occupants escaped only with their
lives and the clothing on their backs.
Over fifty homes were burned. some
tenements, resulting in 100 families
being rendered homeless. Others de-
serted their homes in the threatened
district. Vacant houses all over town
We're filed with furniture removed

CROPS IRE BADLY DAMAGED
Losses in Stricken States Amount
to Hundreds of Millions.
KANSAS SUFFERS THE MOST.
Wisconsin Now In the Heat Blasted Belt
- Melons short in Inda Corn
Shortage Can Not BE Fully Estimated
But Is Enormous.

Carefully prepared estimates on the
losses to crops n the west, due to heat
and want of rain, show the following
figures: Kansas, 100000 600; Missou-
ri. s150,0OO,OOO; Nebraska, S5O,O0O,00O;
Iowa, s25,OOO,OO0; Ohio, 500, 900, 900;
Wisconsin, $2O,OOO,O0O; Indiana, $1O,-
100000; Illinois, $4,000 600
Crop damage in Indiana is greater
than has been estimated. especially in
the southern part In the Indianapolis
section the corn On high ground has
been burned till it Will not yield half
crop. Melons will be short so or Go
per cent. and potatoes will not make
more than half a crop. In Knox, Da-
viess, Orange, Monroe and other coun-
ties in those sections, the corn on high
ground will not average FIVE bushels
to the acre. Miami, Carroll, Howard
Henry and other counties report great
damage to crops, but not to the extent
OF the southern and southwestern
counties.
Even should heavy rain fall in Wis
consin corn will not be more than half
crop, and most of it will be OF lit
tie use, except as forage. Tobacco is
almost total failure, oats about 80
per cent of crop Dairymeu are sell
ing their COWS, owing to the scarcity
Of feed. Notices are being sent by
Dean Henry Of the college Of agricul
ture to all newspapers in the north
ern part OF the state where rain has
been abundant, urging the farmers to
save every particle of feed of every
kind, as there will be big demand for
it at good prices.
In Illinois the injury to corn is not
great as yet, but leaves are curling and
in a few places tassels and top leaves
dying; Sood rains within a week or ten
days would save corn, but yield will
be below average; crop looks we'll in
vicinity Of Springfield and is able to
stand ten days more drought; hay har-
vest nearly over, light crop; gardens
and potatoes badly injured; pastures
bare, farmers feeding stock; wells and
stock water becoming scarce; peaches
fair; apples continue dropping.

when the court Of inquiry meets"
said Captain Schley, 81 would like to
have the privilege of asking Admiral
Sampson just one question: If the
battle Of Santiago had resulted in de-
feat, to whom would the blame be at
tached?' This. ! think. tells the situa-
ton in a nutshell. If Admiral Schley
had lost the battle he would have been
blamed. He Won it, and he should
have the credit The accusations that
are made are ridiculous when they are
investigated Take. for example, the
charge Of disobedience of orders in
May. 1898 An attempt has been made
to saddle the responsibility on my
father. The fact is that he has let
ter from Admiral Sampson telling him
to do exactly what he did, and this
letter will be produced at the inquiry.
At that tine he was maintaining the
blockade off CienfUegos. Secretary
Long wired Admiral Sampson strongly
advising that the blockadins feet go
to Santiago in the hope of finding the
Spanish feet there Admiral Sampson
sent the dispatch to Admiral Schley
with note in which he said: After
duly considering the telegram | have
decided to make no change in the
present plans-that is, you should
hold your squadron off Cienfuegos.
This letter was suppressed Regard
ing the maneuvers of the Brooklyn at
the time of the battle. Captain Schley
says the facts all go to show that this
was the best move under the circum-
stances The part played by the
Brooklyn in the battle certainly com
pares favorably with that of the New
York, he thinks.
