The past week, says tha "Ihst Ne
braska, crop bulletin, has been hot and
dry. with an excess of sunshine, and
brisk southerly winds.
The aTerare daily temperature ex
cess varied from 5 degrees in the west
ern ccunliea to somewhat mora than
7 degrees in ths eastern. The dail7
maximum temperatures were above SO
degrees generally on the last three
days of the week and in manyscuthem
counties were above ICO degrees.
The"ratoralThas'T)eenTrghranc: cda"
sLsted of showers the first day3 of the
week. In most of the southern and in
a few central and northern countis
the rainfall exceeded one-half cf an
Inch and in small areas exceeded an
inch. In a considerable portion of the
state the rainfall was less than one
tenth of an inch and in many places
no measurable amount fell.
The cloudless days and high tem
perature cf the past week have- caused
corn to advance toward maturity very
rapidly. In the northern counties and
in sections where the moisture xvas suf
ficient this has been exceedingly favor
able for corn. In many sections the
lack of moisture, combined with the
high temperature, has caused corn to
dry cut and ripen too rapidly. This
will cause much chaffy corn in the
southeastern counties and will quite
generally reduce the yield cf com in
the southern counties.
Fall plowing has made good progress
but the ground is setting too dry ia

Winter p'nrns wre pu uaon the tables t
for the first, time ana tcey proved a
curicslty to many of the aid fruit
growers, "who had never heard of any
thing of that kind before. The plums
are nearly as large as the Idaho prunes
and are of a d?en purple. They are
left en the trees unt'-l they drop off
of their own accord. Even then they
are almost as h?rd as rocks. After
being picked up they are packed axay
in hexes and barrel's and placed in
storage. Late in tie fall cr early in hs
winter they become mellow and take
en a flavor that is equal to that of ripe
plums picked at this season of the
yeir.
The winter plums have never gone
upon the market in this section of the
country and it is not likely that they
will for some time, as they are very
scarce. These shown were raised by
Fred Eehlin, a farmer residing near
Columbus, "xho secured them by ex
perimenting with ether varieties, and
to his surprise he has secured a plum
that will keep as well as a winter ap
ple. He has no patent upon the ex
periment, stdl he i not tellinz any
one how he obtained the results" that
have rewarded his efforts.
Dcuglas county has brought out the
first Concord grcpes of the season. The
specimens are gcod-sised and are

Ksaraev dispatcTt: Threshing is now
being pushed as rapidly as possible
and "grain, especially wheat, is yielding
better than was anticipated. John B.
Neal of Odessa, says his wheat will
average forty bushels-to the acre aad
tis spring wheat twenty-five. Others
who have thre5ed in the same neigh
borhood and other places surrounding
Kearney report from thirty to forty
bushels per acre tor vrintsr wheat afl

that -has just ended. Tha bare pros

at Tampa. Critics aad detractors were
alike forgottca aad with, improved
health and the-evident consciousness
that whatever might be the eventual
verdict of the operations before Santi
ago, a difiiculi campaign had beea
Drought to -a successful conclusion. He
spoke with greater energy and more
tigor than at any time s;aceth capit
ulation. General Shaf t jr said: .
GOT MTJES THAN ES EXPECTED.
"I look upoa the campaign just
closed as a successful one in the high
est degree, not- only in regard to the
military operations, but more especi
ally in regard to the great results
achieved. When w-e decided to attack
Santiago we looked for nothing more
as the immedate fruit of viatory than
the capture of the city. What has
been achieved is the capitulation ofthe
eastern part of the proviace from a
line at Jlbari to the south coast, to
gether ttith the enemy's forces,
amouat'ng to almost "4.C0 men. Sure
ly this was the most notable aeh.eva
meat of the camiitra. bcartns- is
mind the fierce oppuvtioa we encount
ered aal the comparative smallaess of
our own forces.
"From a military point of view I
perhaps took step which might not
be deemed -ustifiabli? under other cir
curastanees. but I knew the temper
and the capabilities of my soldiers and
the moral erfect of our gradually
cooping up the enemy within bis own
Lnes.

honey. Thia. from a purely military
standpoint, might have been truth
fully correct, but personally I had not
fcr a moment any fear on that score.
The result has. I think, proved the
correetnesT of my eosclurions.
"Gur primary object was to drive
Cervera cut and aca. to take the Icwr.
We had gradually driven the Spaniards j
caetc on his imes. ctmin the city anu
slowly advancing day by day. The
enemy began losiiry spirit as soon as
our guns hail been placed in a pos.tioa
to cover the town.
"When Cervera left the situation
was changed. The town was at my
mercy and had I gvea the order fcr a
direct acsault it would have
been !
taken within four houra. I "beiievc
that with thi forces then at my com
mand, reinforced as they had been. I
was in a position to take the city by
force.
"But if I had taken a step of such a
character what would have been the
result? I estimate that our casualties
would have been 3,CC0 men and the
action I took has had more brilliant
real results without heay Ia33 of val
uable lives.
KNEW TOP.AL WOULD GIVE CP.
"The town itself iz admirably situ
ated for defense and the fight would
have been a long and bloody one.

stone and entirely different from the
orcinary framj buildings. Every
house was a Lttle fortress itself. Ifad
