London, Aug. ll.-That the German
cruisers Goeben and Breslau had been

An Athens dispatch to another agency

HOP PRICES FIRMER
WITH SHORT OREGON CRor

Portland, Ore Aug. 1l.-Hop dealers
are steadily reducing their estimates of
the Oregon crop. Some of them now
figure the yield as low as 10000 or
$4,000 bales 1t is likely that the Pa
eific coast will be $4,000 bales short
of last year IS production.
The market has gained materially in
strength, and n strong demand for con
tracts has developed. Growers are not
ready sellers and business is being put
through with difficulty. About $4,000
pounds are known to have been signed
up in this state and in Washington at
l4la and Is cents. Dealers were offer
ing these prices in several sections and
many orders are known to be untitled
at II cents.
In California, according TO wires re-
ccived yesterday, Is and IA cents was
offered for Sacramentos for early ship
ment, and it was reported that 10 cents
was bid for Sonomas. Picking starts
in that state this week.
There is some business in the spot

FIRE DURING BATTLE
Refugees Flee to WarshipS in the
HarbOr-Lives of All Are Endanger-
ed by Burning Oil Wells.

Washington, D. c., April 10--Officials
here were concerned today over the
safety of foreign oil plants at Tampico
where desultory firing continues be-
tween opposing Mexican forces. Rear
Admiral Fletcher reported that Rear
Admiral Mayo had delivered another
letter to General Zaragosa about the
shots fired into the oil plant from the
federal gunboats, but he had also
heard that an oil tank at Arbol Grande
was on fire at 4:3O o'clock yesterday
morning, and grave alarm is felt here
that there may be wholesale destruc-
ton of the oil properties.
While officials here have utmost
confidence in Admiral Mayo yet they
realize diplomacy will be of little
avail if fire from either side of the
combatants comes in contact with the
oil Assurances were received that all
American women and children have
been gathered into places of safety.
Secretary Daniels said he had not
been informed of the issuance by
Admiral Mayo Of any uItimatum to
the federal commander at Tampico
to cease firing from the glnboat into
the city.
Todays state department reports
laid greater emphasis on the serious
ness of the fighting at Tampico,
which is described as "heavy, with
the rebels in possession of Don Ce-
celia and Arbolgrande" The situa-
ton concerning the oil properties is
thus described in an official state
ment

ORCHARDS and
COTTON PATCHES
ESCAPED INJURY
NO DAMAGE ABOUT AMERTCUS
Resulting From Cold Weather
Yesterday

Beauteous Queen Elberta and old
King Cotton will do the tango, tae
hiki-piki, and the chambermaids glide
all right this summer and on schedule
time, as both escaped damage from the
blizzardic- tailender yesterday. Not a
peach (real goods was hurt in the
least, while the tender cotton plants
were all to the good yesterday morn
ing, after the frost had passed away
and Old Sol was again on the job.
Americus orchardmen feared the re-
suit of yesterdays cold on the or
chards here, with their 100000 fine
bearing peach trees, while farmers
felt sure the crop now up would be
killed, thus necessitating the expense
of replanting.
But not SO. Even the tender snap
beanlet beat Jack Frost at the game
and is still gardenic beauty. Bean
plants are far tenderer than is young
cotton, and with beans still unharmed,
the young cotton escaped likewise.
Many farmers coming to Americus yes
terday morning reported that no in
jury whatever had resulted to the cot
ton and corn fields, and the splendid
peach orchards near Americus.
The temperature dropped to about
the forty notch here, one citizen re-
porting it as 'ow as 3S, and a light
frost resulted. This, however, did no
damage to fruit or crops.
