CUBA’S WHEAT NEEDS BADLY DAMAGED. Loe Recommend« Independence With • Frotectointc. Thirty District« Report Injury to Fall. Sown Gralu. Chicago. Sept. 4. — A special to the Times-Herald from Washington says: General Fitzhugh Lee has made an I elaborate report on pievailing conrii- [ tions in the territory in Cuba under I his jurisdiction, and takes strong ground for an independent Cuban gov ernment under an American protector- [ate. The war department in March ’ directed the commanders of depart ments in Cuba to make a report on the ; conditions in their several sections, and to accompany it with recommen dations as to the treatment of the na- ■ tives. General Lee is the only com mander who has so far responded. General Lee begins hie report by stating conditions in Havana and Pinar del Rio provinces are making rapid , progress toward a state of peace, good order and prosperity. He goes into this in great detail, taking up the sub ject town by town, and showing a gen eral improvement throughout the west ern end of the island. His report in this respect is very gratifying, indicat ing as it does that there is not so much suffering from want of food as is often asserted in unofficial repoits. Turning to recommendations, Gen eral Lee urges tho taking of eelf-gov ernment. General Lee thinks that the next steps should be the careful con- I sideratiou of the question of suffrages for the Cubans. He takes it for grant ed that there will be elections by the natives, and he points out the import ance of wise action in determining the qualifications of voteis. * He recommends an independent re publican government, with a president, vice-president and congress. He would have this established soon, and ad visee the holding of a general election for the selection of those officers. He j eays nothing about a constitution, leav- j ing it to be inferred that lie either over- I looked that step or would have it left i to the Cuban congress to provide after [ its installation in office. General Lee evidently foresees thnt [ while the United States might provide | Cuba with a model system of govern ment, the natives would be likely to spoil it in tho administration, and he has submitted suggestions for keeping the government machinery running along lines that commend themselves to the American mind. Even after relieving the Cubans in part of American protection, he would have United States troops maintained in tho island to protect Americans and other aliens in the enjoyment of their pereonal and property rights. Reports teceived by R. G. Dim <S Co. fiom their conespondents in the grain centere of Oregon, Washington and Idaho, show that the damage to wheat in 44 districts runs from a nom inal figure to 50 per cent of the crop, and, in a few instances. 50 per cent is exceeded. Sixteen districts stated that there has been no loss whatever. Out of the 44 centers mentioned, 30 reported tiie injury to fall wheat and 22 the injury to spring wheat as ex ceeding 10 pel cent. The greatest damage was caused by heavy rains, and in many cases the correspondents de clared that if the stoims continued the crops in their neighborhoods would be nearly destroyed. In a few fields in Washington and Idaho, hot weather also had an injurious effect, and in some instances cold weather caused the freezing of fall-sown wheat last win ter. Reports of the piospects for fall trade partook of the discouragement of the farmers in the damaged districts. The predictions, as a rule, were “fail,” “not very fair,” and “not flattering,” while one correspondent thought it necessity to add to these lines, “there will be no distese,” and another tempered his opinion “fair" with “considering.” Many who are sta tioned in thriving places said the out look might be called fair if the rain would stop. racking Plant Burned« Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 4. — Fite broke out at 1 o’clock this morning in the big plant of tho Jacob Dold Pack ing Company, which covers several acres of ground on the west river bot toms between Ninth street and the Missouri river. The fire started in the fertilizing department, burned through the engine room and was burning fierce ly before any file apparatus arrived. The water pressure in the vicinity of the fire was very low, and the firemen were handicapped in their work. The fertilizing department, the engine room, the ico plant, the sausage de partment and the lard room were de stroyed, with much costly machinery, and other parts of the plant were mors or lees damaged. Tian for Smuggling Chinaman. Hong Kong, Sept. 4. — Reliable in formation is at hand that some 40C Chinese are to be shipped from heie via San Francisco, purporting to be acrobats, juggleis, etc., for the Phila delphia exhibition, and that certain, men here have received certain sums of money to cause them to be landed in America, and the Chinese believe that they will be allowed to remain there. The first batch of 190 have gone for ward in the Nippon Maru. There is no doubt that these Chinamen are simply beiug smuggl'd into America to remain there. Five Men Killed. American Soldiers in Negros in a Hol Battle. DARING FEAT ACCOMPLISHED Troop« Advanced a Thonaan <1 Feet Up a Perpendicular Bl nil' Under a Hot Fire and J)i«lodagod the Enemy. Manila, Sept. 5.—Argogula, the most impreguable stronghold of the bands which have been destroying planta tions and levying tiibute on the people of Negros, was taken Thursday by the Sixth infantry, under Lieiiteniint-Col- ■jnel Biviie. The only means of teach ing the town was up a pci pendicular hill, coveted with dense ehtubery and 1,000 feet high. The Americans ac complished this under fire, although an officer and several meu were liit and rocks weie lolled down upon them. The native strength was estimated at 400. Many of the rebels weie wound ed and captured, and 21 were killed. The American forces captured a quan tity of stores and destroyed the fortifi cations The shipping commissioner of Ma nila, a Filipino, hitherto in high stand ing, has been arrested, charged with appropriating half of the first month’s sala y and levying monthly thereafter an assessment on all the native sailors shipped from this port. It is repre sented that he held a commission In the insurgent army, and was raising funds (or the insurrection; but it ie thought that his operations were mere ly private blackmail. The informa tion resulting in the arrest ot the ship ping commissioner reached the port captain and chief of police thhrough a sailor who is not In sympathy with tne insurrection. The Official Gazette, published at Tarlao, which has been received aero, contains an older by Aguinaldo as sembling the Spanish civil prisoneis and sick soldiers at tho ports of San Fernando, Union and Dagupan for re patriation. The order stipulates that vessels calling must fly the Spanish or Red Cross flags. Jamecilla, the Spanish commissioner, intends to ask Major General Otis for permission to send shivs. Food Supply 1« Low. Manila, Sept. 5. — Many Spanish prisoners are escaping fiom the Fili pinos and bi inging into the American lines stories of hard treameut. They agree that the Filipinos are exceedingly short of rations, and that a large sec tion of their troops is leduced to the use of home-made black powder. The natives are trying eveiy scheme to get food and munitions from Manila. Daily arrests are made for attempts to smuggle contraband of war through the American lines. In one case a cascoe with a cargo of bamboo poles was over hauled and the poles were found full of rice. The insurgents have a wholesome respect for the British on account of several threats of British waiships tc bombard their towns unless the right! □f British subjects are respected. Oil« Charged With I’erjnry. Chicago, Sept. o.—The Times-llerald says: “Charges of perjury ami suborna tion of perjury have been filed against General E. S. Otis, commandei of the American army in the Philippines, with President McKinley, by Frank P. Blair, one of the oounsel for Captain O. M. Carter, late government engineer at Savannah. Counsel Blair declares that at an eatly date lie will also file charges of peijury and subornation ol peijury against Judge Advocate Col onel Thomas II. Barr aud President McKinley. Colonel Barr appeared in the famous trial of Carter for the gov ernment. General Otis was president of the Caiter court-martial.” Dewey's Chine«» Fighter«. Pittsburg, Sept. 4.— A boiler explo sion at the Republic Iron Works on South Twenty-fourth street shortly be fore daylight today killed five men and seriously injured seven. The mill was partly wrecked and the entire plant was compelled to close down. The explosion occurred just as the night force was leaving and the day force was coming on duty, so there were only a few men in the mill at the time, if it had happened half an hour later, the list ot de;.W and injuied would have been appalling. New York, Sept. 5.—George H. Holden, who has been in the Philip pines attending to the prize and bounty claims of the sailors who look part in the battles of the late war, is in the city.
