In it final settlement regarding the comtnerce of Cuba the bureau of insular affair of the war department dwell particularly on the vugar and tobacco induatry of the Island, and proaent some interest ing fact regarding tt production of these two cominodltle, After showing that tiigar conatittitod one-half of the export of the Island lor 11)01, and pre dicting that It will continue to be the leading product, the ilatement 1 made that there are other Interests which are growing and which may become ol Vital Importance to the future prosper Ity of the Island. By far the greatest of these Is tobacco, of which In It different form there was exported in 1001 $ 25,000,000 worth. The report review the . hlatory of Cohan augar growing, ; which first assumed importance in 1H 10, when the crop amounted to 200,000 ton. The production steadily increased up to the time of the "Ten Year' War," when It had reached 7411,000 tons. At the close of the war the anar crop had fal len to 633,000 tons. During the last 10 year of Hpanlsh occupancy, the production varied greatly, exceeding 10,00,000 ton in 18M and 1H05, and a (tm the beginning of the Insurrection runnlug a low a 212,000 tons in 1807. The average for this decade was about 000,000 tons. The exportation of sugar for the calendar year 1HU0 wa In round num ber 317,000 ton; in 11)00 287,000 torn, and lu l0i 5U0.00O tons, and during the entire xriod of American occupa tion more than 1 ,400,000 tons. It is estimated by good authorities that about 2,000,000 acres, or one-four- teenlh of the entire acreage of the island, 1 devoted to the culture of sugar cane. With the establish- mentof new plants, cjuipiwd with the latest appliances, the planters secured I from violence, and a removal of the! enormous Imrdens of the various taxes formerly Imposts! by the government of tpain, the acreage in cane maybe greatly increased and the cost of pro-1 ductlon be reduced to a minimum.

FfRE ON AMERICANS ELEVENTH INFANTRY LOSES ONE MAN AND THREE WOUNDED. Moro of Mindanao are Becoming Unruly General Sumner Ordered to Interior to Compel Peace General Movement Against Rebel Not Improbable Our Troop are Attacked Repeatedly. Washington, Sept. 10. The war de partment has received a cable dispatch from General Chaffee dated at Manila, stating that an attack was made on the United States troops at Matiling Falls, seven miles from Camp Vicars, by Mot os on September 1. First Lieuten ant William M. Parker, Eleventh in fantry, and two soldiers were wounded, and one soldier killed. General Chaffee also says: ' "Have authorized Brigadier General Samuel Sumner to move troop into Macin conntrv and exaet promise of good behavior in future from Dattoe and followers. Troop have been at tacked 12 timet sime May 2, with loss to us of four killed and 12 wounded. We have remained all the time quiet, seeking friendship, acting in self de fense only." The last part of General Chaffee's dispatch evidently is intended to in form the war department that the army has been acting wholly upon the de fensive in the Moro countiy. His in structions have been to do nothing which would proVoke a conflict with the Moron, and the position of the war department is that if there is a conflict it must be justified by the aggressions of the Moros. "r Some time ago General Chaffee asked for authority to attack the Moros im mediately, but he was advised that the department wished to avoid hostilities if possible. At tbe same time it has long been the belief of officials of the department that an aggressive campaign in Mindanao is inevitable, and it would not be surprising if there should be a forward movement of the United States troops in a short time. ; ELECTION IN MAINE.

NO. 39. AN IMMENSE CROP UNITED STATES CAN SUPPLY WORLD WITH CORN... Production Is Estimated at 3,589,951,000 Bushels Thla Year, or More Than the Entire Cora Crop of the World Laat Year Harvest Will Last Till the Snow Hiesflood Price Assured. ', -(.., Washington, Bept. 8. In the history of the cereal production there ha never been such an enormous crop ol corn a is being gathered in the . United States this year. It will aggregate 2,689,- 961,000 bushel, or more than the entire corn crop ol the world lor 1901. The corn raised in the United State will be sufficient to supply the needs ol the world lor thi and next year, even should there be a total failure in 1903, aay the New York Son. Corn harvesting i now in progress in tbe United States, and not until snow flies in December will this enormous task be ended. Even then farmers farther South will not have finished hnaking the golden ears standing in their fields ol brown. They know it make little difference so far as prices are concerned. A record of sales of corn in tbe past 10 years shows that tbe highest prices are ob tained in late fall and winter, and that price are 25 per eent below the aver age immediately after the gathering -ol the crop begins in the early autumn. Last year the corn burned aa it stood ripeningjin the fields just a lew weeks before it had matured, but this season there have been no droughts in the corn section. Nor have there been any floods ol a general nature. The weath er, in fact, nas been ideal lor corn growing. Tbe stalks bae grown rank, the ears have spread and lengthened until 12-inch ears and 15-foot stalks are not uncommon in tbe corn belts. The crop ol 1901 fell short of tbe ex pected yield by 40 per cent. This year it goes ahead ol the predicted yield by 10 or 15 per cent. Eight states laat year did not raise enough corn lor home consumption. The exports fell short 8,000,000 bushels. The yield waa only 16 bushels to the acre, and 4,000,000 acre were not cut at all. Id 1896 the average yield was 28 bushels to the acre, except in Kansas, where it was 40 bushels. " Kansas last year averaged 10 bushels or less to the acre. Tbe acreage ol corn this year is much larger than last. It is 3 per cent more or 102,869,928 acres. This large acreage is due to the lact that three and one- hall million acres ol wheat, sown the proceeding tail, bad been frozen out and were ploughed up for corn.' Con sequently, these 3,000,000 acres, which are largely in Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa, will not yield their owners much profit, if any. Tbe cost ot the wheat ploughed up was $6 an acre, and the cost of the corn f 5. Tbe viold must. therefore, be above 30 bushel and yield 40 cents a bushel to profit at all. This is improbable. So 3 per cent of the corn crop will yield nothing above the expense of sowing and gathering it. The principal corn state are those of the Middle and Central states. . The summers are too long for good corn production in the South, and it is too droughty in the lar Southwest tot cer tain yields. Illinois is the leading corn atate, bnt Kansas, Iowa, Indiana, Missouri and Nebraska are big corn producer. ' HUNT HEADS THE TICKET. Present Democratic Governor of Idaho Is Again Nominated.
