Admiral Cervera is to be pa- roied at Annapolis and the limit of courtesy is to be extended to his higher ofiicer while they are In American custody.

The government crop report for July does not make any estimate of the probable yield of any cereai. That is reserved for later investigation several months after the liar- 'est. The ereliminary acreage and condi- Lion figures , however. afford a basis for computation by experts and one of these , Statistician Ilrown of the New York Pm-a- Once exchange , has compiled an estimate of the Probable outturn of wheat and corn as indicated by the cm-op returns of the Federal Department of Agriculture. Mr. Brawn makes the indicated yield of wheat 603,820,000 bushels , against an actual crop of 530,149,168 bushels in 1897 , antI ho figures out a corn production of 2,074,376,000 bushehs , against a yield last year of 1,937,331,000 busbel8 , Neither crop Is yet made. There are risks of accident before the spring wheat harvest shall have been secured and ( lie outcome of the corn season at the outset of July is necessarihy conjectural , but the July figures are hopefully suggestive. Barr- bag damage to spring-sown wheat , the total yield of wheat Is more likely to exceed than to fall below Mr. Brown's estimate. but if no more titan this mininiuxn production shall be thrashed out of the harvested crop there sbll be m bountiful supply. From present Indications the world's bar- vest will COflBilerabhy ( exceed that of last season and whiihe a good demand from ha- porting countries may be expected , it Is I not likely to be as large as it was during the last. crop year. when over 21,000,0O0 bushels ( counting flour as wheat ) were con- tributcil by the United States to time Euro. penn supply. France is pretty certain to have a much larger crop this year and will , therefore , be a less considerable customer of this country , from which it was a large buyer In 1897-8. The situation may be chancd by later crop dlsappoirmtmnemits abroad , butin , spite of how reserves of old wheat in Europe and America , available supplies during the coining year are likely to be much larger. Thai present outlook , therefore , is not favorable ( or price results t as satisfactory to domestic producers as were tibet' of the seasomi that ended last month.

ADMIRAL CEILVEIIA. Peronni Sketch of ( lie Cainiiinnder of t be flL'NtVC4I Sijiiniroii. In the records of the Spanish navy the 'onimander of the flying squadron destroyed at Santiago July 3 is known as "The Ex- eientisimo Senor Don I'axual Cervera of ropete , " and takes rank as one of the best of Spanish sailors. He comes on his moth- cr's sdo ! from a stock witero for germ- orations the name of Topete had been teared on land and ocean by many a foe. Cervera Is also a good old name and the present hearer of it is every inch a gentleman and carries his head very high. lie is still very pleasant to look at , with his broad forehead - head , keen brown eyes and carefully trimmed white beard and heavy mustochie covering a iargo determined mouth.

Unfortunately a change of politics came so coon that Admiral Cer- Vera left the ministry before ito could put into practice his many idans toward the advancement - vancement of the navy.
