ern States-C0nditiOn of Other
Cereals Favorable.

Washington, July 50.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop
conditions is as follows:
The corn crop has experienced another
week of exceptionally favorable conditions
over much the greater part of the princi-
pal corn area, the least favorable reports
being received from southeastern Missouri
and southern Illinois. where the crop is
being injured by drought A fine yield is
promised in Kansas. Nebraska, Indiana
and over much the greater part of Mis-
souri,, Illinois and Ohio. In Iowa, where
the crop has suffered much in previous
weeks from heavy rains and lack OF cultl-
walton, corn is improving, and in the early
fields is caring heavily. In the middle At
lantic states and to the southwark of the
OHIO river corn has suffered much from
drought In sections, especially the early
planted.
Showers have prevented the completion
OF winter wheat harvest in the lake re-
glon, New England and the northern por-
ton of the middle Atlantic states, where
damage to wheat in shock is quite extern
s1vely reported; elsewhere harvesting Is
completed except on the Pacific coast,
where it is progressing rapidly in Oregon
and has begun in Washington.
Late spring wheat needs rain in portions
OF South Dakota, and rust is appearing in
North Dakota. but on the whole its con-
ddtion is very promising.
Oat harvesting is progressing under diff
culties in the upper Mississippi valley and
lake region, where the crop is badly lodged
and fields in some sections are too wet for
reapers. Notwithstanding these adverse
conditions the general outlook for a large
yield is favorable.
AS rule the general outlook for apples
continues unpromising, although in some
sections a good crop is promised The
most favorable reports are received from
New England. eastern and northern New
York, Michigan and portions of Illinois.
Kansas and Oklahoma.
The bulk of a good hay crop has been
secured In the states of the central val

HIS LIFE SPARED.
State Department Notified That Death
Sentence Of DR.. Wilson IL
COMMITTED.

Washington, July 29.-The life of
DIR. Russell Wilson, of Ohio, who was
captured with revolutionist party in
Nicaragua, has been saved through
the representations of Minister Corea,
of that country. A cablegram was re-
ceived at the state department Mon
day from Chester Donaldson, United
States consul at Managua, Nicarauga,
dated the 26th instant, as follows:
GAS courtesy to the United States and
sympathy for the mother, the president
will commute Russell Wilson's death SEN
tence."
Wilson was one of several Americans
who joined a fibustering expedition
which landed at Monkey Point, near
Bluefelds, early in July. Most of the
party were captured or killed. Will
son would have been summarily exc
cuted but for the interposition of Senior
Corea, the Nicaraguan minister here.
Having secured a stay of proceedings
and a guarantee of a legal trial, the
minister has now induced President
Zelaya to commute the death sentence,
imposed upon Wilson by court-martial.
Before the receipt of this message it
was not known here that the court
martial had been held. 1t is presumed
that the communication is to imprison-
ment for time, and then expulsion
from Nicaragua

some of the crops in that vicinity
may be saved. Hail cut crops to
pieces near Ia Crosse Vic

LAST CHANCE GONE.
Action of Cuban Cabine ct Prevents the
=" United States from Securing
yea" a Coaling Station.

Washington, July 31.-Probably the
last chance the navy department had
to secure coaling or naval

lease Of the arsenal grounds. This
was the site of the projected United

admirably adapted by its position and
depth of water. News of the Cuban
cabinets action has just reached here.
Nothing is expected to be done respect
ing the acquisition Of sites for naval
or coulings stations elsewhere on the
