The crops in the nohrhhnrhooil of T,n Belle, Taos county, aro larye hevnnd xpectation. Last'week saw seven "davs of rain In that section. An enthusiastic correspondent down at Wend in eastern Dona Ana county thus relieves himself: "If New Mexico ever has too much rain now is the time. But, oh, the grass! An oh, such corn! Shipping corn to New Mexico will bo a losing transaction this season. A correspondent from Johnson's mesa, Colfax county, says: "Grain and po potatoes - tatoes potatoes are humping themselves trying to got ripe before the frost catches them, but I think some of the grain is going to be rather short. In its hurry to ma mature, - ture, mature, it commenced to head out a little i too near the ground."' Seth Howell, an embryo agriculturist of Socorro, has succeeded in raising in his garden a sunlloworstalk twelve feet and six inchos tall with a body large enough for a tree. An enthusiastic Farmington man says that little place could have a peach day, an apple day, a berry day, a potato day and a watermelon tiny that would not be behind those events held in Colorado citio9. Then while tho folks were "restln" it could have a com day, pumpkin day, a prune day and a grape day. They seem to raiseevervthlng but "disturbances" in that section of the territory. This year"s crop of grain at Gary, in eastern Dona Ana county, will bo the largest ever raised in that section.

General Shafter's Report on Health Conditions at SantiagoExcite SantiagoExcitement - ment SantiagoExcitement Unwarranted, NO DANGER TO FRESH TROOPS Sickness Caused by Exhaustion Seventy five Per Gent of Command 111 with Ma Malaria - laria Malaria BeBulting from Exposure and Insufficient Food. Washington, Aug. 5. General Shaft er has telegraphed the president n gardlng the publication of the "round robin," signed by tho general officers of his command, as follows: "I can very readily see what intense excitement the puDllcatlon must have occasioned; great deal more than the situation war ranted. The situation is greatly aggra vatcd from tho fact that before any of the men were taken ill, they wero thor oughly exhausted. At least 73 per cent oi mv command had been down with malarial fever, from which they recover siowiy and are in no condition to stand an attack of yellow fever or dysentery If they were placed here now In the condition in which they were when they came here, I do not believe thev would be In any particular danger. The regiment of immunes that re cently arrived is not suffering at all and I do not believe thev will. They can keep out of the sun and are well clothed and well fed. AVhat put my command In Its present condition was the 'M days" campaign when thev had nothing but meat, bread and coffee without a change of clothes and without any shelter what ever during a period twice as stormy as it nas oeen since the surrender. Fresh troops reaching hero in the middle of August with good camps, good water and with an abundance of tentage which they will find here, need not apprehend scrums danger. I thank you for the high regard in which you hold my command and your value of the service thev rendered. It pavs for all tho suffering we endured. Generals Wheeler, Lawton, Hates and Kent con cur with mo In the view expressed above."' Sliaf ter Makes an Kinpliatic Dental. Washington, Aug. 8. General Shafter in his report to the War department mpliatleallv denies he is responsible for tho inadequate provision made for the sick and wounded brought from Santiago to the United States on the Seneca and Concho. Everything pos sible, he says, was sent with the sick and wounded. Tho shortage of water. he says, is inexcusable. He concludes his report as follows: lucre is no excuse for the lack of food as there has at all times been plenty of that. I have no doubt that many more men were put on the ship than should have been, owing to the great desire to get home as they had fear of the yellow fever and were almost whol wholly - ly wholly without hospital accommodations. The sick and wounded had only the clothing on that they wore in the battle and of course that was ragged and worn out by the time thev reached home. There was none to Issue them at the time they left and their own extra clothing they could not get at. There has never been a case of suf fering hero that could be remedied by the means at hand that was not attend attended - ed attended to. The surgeons worked as well as any men that ever lived and their com complaint - plaint complaint has been universal over the lack of means and facilities. "I do not complain of this, for no one could have foreseen all that would be required, but I will not quietly submit to having the onus laid on me for lack of theso hospital facilities."
