attitude Of being willing to give relief
from the Payne-Aldrich tariff only on
condition that they be permitted to write
the bills. The radical Democrats are IN
clined to agree to such course. because
it would strengthen the insurgents. The
other Democrats, not counting in the
small group of protection Democrats,
want to put the insurgents to the crucial
test of lining up for tariff revision, or
rallying around the high protection flag
by bringing them face to face with one
House tariff bill after another.
Reports of revolutionary conspiracies
in Cuba have reached the officials of the
State, War and Navy Departments of this
Government. A watch is being main
tanned on the leaders, with an expectancy
that their activities will in the near future
become concrete.
The storm centres around Gomez, the
President of the Republic, who is assailed
with charges of graft. There are several
aspirants for Gomez's place. but all Of
these are outside the pale of consideration
by this Government. Gomez's successor
will be selected in Washington.
General Guerra last winter threatened
TO take the Cuban regular army into the
field and start revolution He was
brought to halt by the United States
Government, and, in letter to General
Wood, stated he would behave himself.
He has since thoroughly organized his
rustic soldiers, and it is believed here
that arms have been struggled into the
country by his agents.
Colonel Piedra, at one time chief of
police of Havana, is on the outs with
the Cuban President and has threatened,
according to reports here, to join with
Guerra and General Loyuaz Castrillo and
combat Gomez for denomination. A fight
between the President on the one side
and these three leaders on the other
means conflict between the rutales,
over which the President rnles with an
iron hand, and the regular army.

Throughout all this great country,
practically 500 by 500 miles square,
there are still a great many home

settlers Many who have secured pat
ents for their homesteads consider
their land worth from SIS to SIS per

Immense Crops Assured.
Throughout the southern portion of
Alberta, a district that suffered more
or less last year from drouth, there
will be harvested this year one of the
best crops of fall wheat, winter wheat,
oats, fax and alfalfa that has ever
been taken off these highly productive
lands
In Central Alberta, which comprises
the district north of Calgary and east
two hundred miles, through Camrose,
Sedgewick, Castor, Red Deer, Wetas-
kwin, Edmonton, Lacombe, vegre-
Vile, TofieId, Vermillion and a score
of other localities, where are settled
large numbers of Americans, the
wheat, oats and fax, three weeks ago,
heads and promising from 80 to 35
bushels of wheat and as high as 100
bushels of oats on carefully titled
fields, while fax would probably
yield from Is to IS bushels per acre.
In these parts the harvesters are
busy today garnering this great crop
and 1t will shortly be known whether
the great anticipations are to be real
lied.
Throughout all parts of Saskatche-
wan, whether north, south, east or
west, the same story was heard, and
the evidence was seen of the splendid
and bountiful crop.
Rich Yield In Manitoba.
In Manitoba it was the same. The
fields of grain that were passed
through in this province promised to
give to the growers bumper yield,
and as high as IS bushels of wheat
and so bushels of oats was freely dis
cussed-
1t would appear as If the expecta-
ton of an average of IS bushels of
wheat throughout the three provinces
would be met.
