Our troopw enjoy a vast advantage over the Spaniards in that they are not in juriously affected by the climate. I may say that I have not seen a case of yellow fever or smallpox among the Cuban sol diers since I have been on the island, and that I have not been sick a day myself. Furthermore, we have no dillieulty in feeiHng our troops. In the portion of the country in which the Cuban troops are in control the farmers are protected, and we draw our supplies from this source. Our commissary is, therefore, regularly renewed, and our supplies are received in quantities quite sufticient to meet all our wants."' -AUTONOMY Is NOXSKXSE. In reply to a question. Captain Smith said : "All the talk about autonomy and of Spanish reforms for Cuba is so much breath wasted. There is not a man in Ihp Cuban army who will agree to accept anything short or absolute independence." Captain Smith is an American.

The week ending Monday, June 7th, has !een generally favorable thr Mighout Xorth Carolina. Although the temper ature is still comparatively low, on ac count of cool nights, the warmer days ami frequent showers this week have caused perceptible growth in crops and improved prospects generally. The rain fall averaged about an inch for the State It is still too dry over a few counties in the northeast and extreme south por tions. Cotton, though small, has good stand, is fresh in appearance, and the outlook for that crop is not discouraging. The wheat and oats harvest has just begun in southern counties, with tine prospects. Considerable local damage by hail occurred May 29th in eight coun ties. Eastern District. The past week has been generally favorable for all crops in this section. While not up to the nor mal, the weather was warmer, with tine showers, causing a perceptible improve ment in crops. It is is still dry in some northeastern, and in a few southern, counties. Crops, though small, are clear of grass and growing nioelynow. Cotton small, but good stand, and fresh looking; lice have appeared at a few places. Corn has gnnerally a bad stand, owing to dam age by worn. R; in south portion some farmers have corn waist higb. Tobacco is doing better at the end of the week: some plants reset early part of week died out badly. Oats are rather poor; some being cut in the south. The stand of peanuts is fair to poor. A severe hail storm occurred May 29th, with considerable damage to crops over limited portions of Rladen, Duplin and Onslow counties. Latest Jim Items. Snow fell at Change N. J. but the Hakes melted as 1 1 1 ey struck the ground. The squall attracted general attention, as few residents there had over before seen snow in June. The volume of business transacted at the port of Philadelphia during the last six months bus been extraordinary large. The Senate disposed of the lumber paragraph, which has been more stub bornly contested than any feature of the bill so far. by defeating the motion of Senator Vest to place white pine on the free list yeas, 20; nays, 158. It is officially announced that the Turks have committed serious excesses in Epirus, engaging in general pillage. The Turkish irregulars, it is further an nounced, have committed similar ex cesses in the villages around Larissa. Mr Bailey, (I)ein, of Texas), the mi nority leader, was in his seat w hen the House met Monday, for the lirst time in a fortnight. William J. Calhoun, w ho was sent to Cuba as a special commissioner to inves tigate the circumstances of the death in prison of Dr. Ruiz, reached New York York on Ins return Monday. Reo report 8 Hint, "Ilie island is rapidly leing devastated in a short time i, will not be worth anything to any one. It is difficult to get at the exact situation there. In the lirst place, there is a severe censorship of the press, and those who are naturally friendly to the Cubans hardly dare to express their views and opinions. J urtnermore, me adherents 01 both sides arc exceedingly intense. They tell their stories just as they want you to believe them. From the Spanish point of view, the island is practically pacified, and fro'm that or the Cubans, the insur gents were never in such excellent shape as they now are." Itood Progress i 11 t lie Senate. Sugar Schedule Said to he Dead. Chil Service Rules. To Enforce Ami Trust Laws. Butler's Speech. Popular Vot i tiff Wanted. Jot'KNAI. RritKAt". iMNu ton, 1 . C, June L i (juite a number of Senators think with the late General Hancock, that the tariff is a local issue, and. what is more important, are xoting that way, as the schedules are reached containing pro tective duties upon products of their states. The most notable instances of this during the past week wore the Geor gia Senators Bacon .and Clay , who both supported the tail IT on lumber, notwithstanding the appeals of such leaders of their party as Senators Jones, of Ark., and Vest, of Mo., to keep lum ber on the free list. Senator R.acon qual ified bis support by saying that he was not a protectionist, but that the stern necessities of the government required a tariff, and a high tariff: but his col league. Senator Clay, in what was his maiden speech, declared himself emphat ically against fn e trade and in favor of a tariff sufiioiont to cany on the govern ment economically administered, and of the strictest i quality in levying this tai iff. Of course neither gentleman said anything about (Jeorgia being a large lu in her-prod uoing state. There is still more or less grumbling about the tariff bill not being disposed of fast enough hj- the Senate, but as a mat ter of fact, it is doubtful whether there is a single Senator who is not surpi ised at the nrogrcss made on the bill. All recent tariff records in the Senate have been already broken, and no disposition hasj been shown in any quarter to delay any of the schedules by useless discussion, and the Senators are living up to their agreements not to make long speeches. If this slate of affairs continues the bill will in all liklihood become a law before the lath of July. It will depend, how ever, largely mlon the sugar schedule. The Senate sugar schedule is regarded as dead, and there are some ugly reports about the intention of the sugar trust to use its powerful influence to hang the bill up as lontr as possible, if the House schedule is put back. Tiio Senate Committee on Civil Service Reform, to w Inch was referred Senator Gallinger's amendment to the Genera! Deficiency Appropriation Bill, exempt in laborers from the civil service rules, has unanimously reported the following amendment to the bill: ''No laborer of any class employed by the Government shall be included in the classified execu tive civil service, and all civil service rules heretofore promulgated with respect to this class of employes are hereby abro gated." There is no doubt of the accept ance of this amendment. Senator Pntoh ard. Chairman of this Committee says this amendment is as far as the Com mittee has determined, but that other exemptions will probably be recommen (led. The administration is preparing for its first wrestle with the courts in an effort to enforce the Sherman anli trust law. which the last administration declared to bo worthless.
