2 RAIN RELIEVES THE SITUATION But in Some Sections the Drought Still Continues. HURT BY LOCAL STORMS THE WEEK ON THE WIIOEE GEN ERALLY FAVORABLE. HOT WiMDS IN NOTTHWtST INJURE WHEAT Cotton Somtwhat Injured in this State by Rain. P eking Well Advanced in South-rn Texas. Condition of Tobtc oGei erally Good. Wnt-'hington, August 3. —Following Is thf Weather Bureau’s weekly summary of (Top conditions: Drought has been relieved in the South j Atlantic and East Gulf States and bene ficial rains have fallen in Ohio and in Indiana, but rain is needed in portions , f New York and Pennsylvania, the j central portions of Illinois and Missouri and in Louisiana, Arkansas, the Dako tas. Western Nebraska and Central Col orado. Local storms, nceouipnnied by excessively heavy rains Have proved damaging in Alabama. Western Florida , and Southern New Jersey. Notwith- j standing these conditions the week mar Ik* said to have been upon the whole generally favorable, the most unpromis ing reports being received from the Da katas, where high temperatures and lack of moisture are being seriously felt. While com would lie lKMielitted by rains in Central Illinois and portions of Missouri, lowa. Nebraska and South Dakota, the crop has made satisfac tory progress in the principal corn States, a marked improvement laing re ported from tlu* States of the Ohio \ al ley. lowa also reimrts a decided im provement. and the outlook til Kansas is considered! the best for a nmwbe-r of years, lvarly mm is now matured as far north as Missouri and Southern Illi nois. # ! As in the previous week hot winds with temperatures exceeding 100 degrees have prevailed in South Dakota, caus ing injury to spring wheat l>y promn ture ripening and shrinkage of grain: and while the bent in North Dakota has not been* so excessive, the crop has lieen more or less damaged. Spring wheat has also sustained some injury from hot winds in Oregon and portions of Eastern Washington. Over the Eastern portion of the spring wheat re gion the crop is more promising. Har vesting is well advanced in Southern Minnesota, where the late sown grain is falling nicely, and has begun in Northern North Dakota. Oat harvest is nearing completion, in the more northerly sections under fa vorable weather conditions, except in Southern Minnesota, where considerable loss will result from lodging. Fair to j good yields are generally reported. Complaints of shedding continue from tin* Central and Eastern portions of the cotton licit and while rains ’have Im proved the condition of the crop in the (’arolinas excessively heavy rains in North Carolina have proved injurious. Good growth is. however, generally re ported esjiecialiy in the Central and Eastern sections, and as a rule the crop 1 is fruiting well. Picking is well ad vanced in isnrtioim of Southern Texas, in which State the gome rail condition of the crop is promising. Tobacco is suffering f rom drought in New York and has lien injured on low- j lands in Tennessee liy heavy rains; else- ' where the weather conditions have la*en j favorable for the growth of tobacco, a j marked improvement being rejsxrted ! from tin* States of the Ohio Yalley. Cut ting and curing continue in tlu* Caroli nes. and will soon begin in Maryland and Virginia. Considerable progress with plowing for fall seeding has been made in tlu* Central Valleys and Middle Atlantic States. GEN. GOMEZ ASKS NOTHING. lie Will Soon Quit. Cuba, Leaving the Field Free to Office S(*ekers. 'Havana, Aug. I.—General Ludlow, the Military Governor of Havana Province, ~as suppressed the scurrilous Cuban newspaper El Reeonceuitmdo. General Gomez’s secretary has written a letter to La Lueha, saying that Gomez is mow “passing through a period of dis-j agreeable transition. He has endeavor- i <*d to obtain nndependenee for the island for thirty years, and his efforts have been little recogmized. * Those make a mistake who think he aspires to anything in Santo Domingo Otr Cuba. God forbad that he should even be an employe of high rank. He thinks it a veritable misfortune to he President, as on the field of battle a brave 'man exposes his life; while in the Presidential chair he exposes Ids honor even if lie has no valor. Jiminez is the man he hopes will be President of the Dominican Republic. Those in Cuba to whom lie ds> a cause of worry need not be disturbed at seeing his family, which only came here from a pious motive. This be leg fulfilled, lie and his family will abandon the land which has repaid his many efforts with rancor. Those who want posts need not fear that he wants the Dictatorship. He goes home leaving the field free.” ANOTHER ADVANCE MADE. Elkhorn. W. Va., Aug. I.—Five lead ing coal companies in this •field this morning advanced the mining rate 1.1 cents.

A telegram was sent today by General Wyman to Surgeon Pettus at Old Point directing him at once to institute a thor ough sanitary investigation as tar as Phoebus. Surgeon Wasdlm at Phoebus was ordered to make a house to house inspection there. The old soldier who is supposed to he responsible for the importation of the fever from Cuba to Hampton has not yet been apprehended, although several other inmates of .the Home have been re cognized and detained at various points. It is said by the Marine Hospital au thorities that" there is but little danger of the further spread by the soldier in question. He had not developed the fever himself when he left the home. Surgeon General Sternberg today re ceived the following telegram from Sur geon Vickery, in charge at the National Soldiers’ iconic, at Hampton, A a., the seem* of the yellow fever epidemic: “Our epidemic not extending. Last day two eases and one death. Origin, not discovered. Do not know if we can get immune surgeons and nurses?" Stfrgpon General Sternberg has re spMj'iided to Surgeon Vickery's question ia the affirmative, and will furnish him im mediately with a list of the surgeons an l nurses who may he employed by him. for the Surgeon General is without author ity to pay for them out of his own ap propriations. Surgeon AYliite wired General Wyman that he arrived at Hampton last night, that tin* quarantine had been, imaii':- lnously turned over by the local authori ties to the Marine Hospital Servlet', and that hi* and accepted it. He said: “There is little doubt that there may have been infection in Phoebus. Place under quarantine. AVork will he heavy, hut we hope for the best.

It was stated at the office of the Ma rini* Hospital Service today that there were not more than 200 or 300 people left at Old Point. Special trains will he Dm there at such intervals as may he necessary to remove the inhabitants, sub ject to such inspection and detention as may be determined at Richmond. THE EXCITEMENT ALLAYED. Newport News, A’a.. August I.—The excitement over the existence of yellow fever at the Soldiers’ Home has been allayed to a great extent, notwithstand ing the unfavorable report from Pho bus. Some people left the city today on ac count of the situation, but the exodus mus nothing like that of yesterday.

( OLD COIN FOUND. Interesting Find in a Ploughed Field— Gold Piece of Louis NIII. iNewborn Journal.) A singular incident hist Saturday was the find by a negro on the farm of Hack bum and AA’illett three miles from New hern of a gold coin. The man was walking across a field that was ploughed up last fall and discovered the gold mill in tin* soil. It was untarnished and almost as perfect as if it had Just mine from the mint. The coin is dated 1040 and on the date or obverse side is a head with a wreath and the words “laid. Nlll D. G.” and “Fr. et nav. Ret." which seems to mean. Louis Nlll by the grace of Ged, King o! I*ranee anil Navarre. The reverst* has a central device with an “A” inclosed- in a small circle, and the Latin inscription, “Imp. Chrs. Begin Aim*.” The coin was purchased from the tinder by Mr. Fplli Huekhura and a good dial of interest was shown when is was handed around by him last night. It was weighed by Mr. Brad’ham and found to contain 21G grains or about 21 grains less than a United States half eagle or $lO gold piece. The descrip tion of such a coin could not he found in a book oi> coins and a description will Ik* sent to some collector or agent and its value ascertained. It is interesting to speculate how the coin ever found lodgment in tlu* stmt, where it evidently has rested for very many years. That of course can never he known. Perhaps it onee jingled in the pocket of one of Baron Do Gruffen reid’s Swiss settlors, ll is a pity that it can not fell its own tale for it doubtiess would he one of wars and stirring scenes.
