COFFEE FARMS RUINED.
Guatemalan Says Crop Will Be 25,OOO.-
 900 Pounds Short

New Orleans. June 10. Thiel of Guatemala City, Guatemala, who arriv- ed with other citizens of that country today, states that the famous coffee lands about Mount Santa Maria have nearly all been covered with dust and ashes to a depth, in many places, of fully two feet.
 Clouds of dust and smoke are still flying as they have been periodically ever since the first eruption, shortly af- ter that of Mount Pelee. in Saint Pierre.
 What troubles planters in Guatemala is that it will be several years before this land can again be put into coffee. Thiel estimates that the coffee crop of Guatemala is fully 25O,000 quintals short. This means that there will be 5,000,0OO pounds less of coffee in the worlds markets this year than last.
