Tho Climate of Cuba.
Tho contemplated invasion of Cuba by
tho United Stn tos army venders cf special
interest at tills timo tho data which Mr.
W. P. lt. Phillips, ono of tho subordinate I
olllcors of tho United .States department |
of agriculture, has roeoutly compiled,
showing tho climatic conditions which
provail on tho island.
On tho basis of observations mado
annually during tho nant ton years Mr.
Phillips slates that tho averago tempera
ture of Havana in July, which is tho
warmest month in tho yoar, is 82.4
degrees Fahrenheit. Within tho samo
period of timo the coldest .Inly measured
81.7 degrees, and tho warmest ?Inly 83.5
degrees. There Kit many pointa in this
immediate section which almost equal
this record. Mr. Phillips shows that
tho averago .Inly tomporatnro for Wash
ington, 1). C., is not less than 75 degrees,
and that the average temperature for
Now Orleans, La., is not less than 81.0
degrees. This sam? authority states
that tho highest tomporatnro recorded
in ton yoars at Havana reached only 100.0
degrees, and that at tho samo timo tho
highest temperature recorded in different
parts of tho south reached as high as 101
degrees.
In tho following tablo Mr. Phillips
gives tho averago tompcraturo for oaoh
month of tho year at Havana, basing his
ligures upon tho ollioiul observations
mado during tho past ton yoars at Helen
college, ono of tho few educational insti
tutions of Cuba:
Months. 1888-07.
January. 70.3
February. 72.0

So mud) for thc temperature of Cuba?
While the figures cited in tho foregoing
tablo apply strictly to Havana, thoy also
represent generally tho condition which
provail at Santiago, Matanzas and other
points. With respect to Cuba's rainfall,
Mr. Phillips shows that tho amount of
precipitation is groatost during tho
months oxtending from May to Oetobor,
and least during tho months extending
from Oetobor to May. Of tho months
comprising llio wot season, July and
Oetobor aro commonly attonded by tho
heaviest showors. Observations extend*
ing over tho past ton yoars fix tho
amount of precipitation at tho yearly
averago of 51.6 inchos, of which 35.4 j
inches is credited to tho wot season an*' I
20. linches to tho dry season, showinc
that tho difforonoe is not quito so groat
as is commonly supposed.
With respect to tho absoluto humidity
of tho atmosphere at Havana, it varies
from (1.2 grains of vapor per cubic foot
in January, when it is least, to 8.0
grains of vapor por oubio foot in Septem
or, when it is groatost.
Other data is regard to Cuba may not
bo out of place in this connection. In
extremo longth tho island, which is oros
cent shaped, measure? 780 miles, and
in width only eighty miles, tho iattor
distance, of courue, hoing avoraged.
Most of tito surface of tho island lies
several hundred feet abovo tho soa lovel,
tho highest olovation hoing Pico do Tur
quino-7,070 foot. Othor lofty peaks aro
(iran Pedro, 5.200 foot, and Ojo del Toro.
: I, ( M )0 feet. Mountain ridgos oxtond
throughout tho entire longitudinal con
tor ot tho island. Most of tho state
ments rolatlvo to tho sovoro and un
healthful climatic conditions of Oilba have
been ovordrawn, and but for the fact
that the Spanish measures of sanitation
aro wholly inadequate, Cuba would offor
no grcator inducement to yellow fevor
than do many loralitios in tho United
States. (Juba is to-day much loss tho
victim of her climate than sho is of her
inadequate measures of sanitation, mid
these aro most pronounced in tho imme
diate neighborhood of Havana; othor
localities aro comparatively freo from
disease Such briefly epitomizes tho
conditions which provail in Cuba, .vhithor
our bravo boys aro now about to procood
for tho purposo of expunging from its
soil tho blight of Spanish despotism.

Inorcase In Exports of Farm Produots.
WASHWCITON, Juno 12.-Tho farmers,
of tho l J H i Lcd States aro drawing upon
other parts of tho world for moro money
in the fiscal year which ondB with this
month than in any procoding yoar in tho
history of tho country. Evon tho high
water TT.U1? of 1802, whoa our exports of
?grioultur?. produots amounted to $700,
829,232, wil, bo nurpasBod by tho record
of tho yoar wMoh closes with this month.
Prolfmiunry voports of May exports
which have reached tho bureau of statis
tics make lt quito apparent that tho agri
cultural exports of tho yoar will bo oon
sldornbly in excess of $800,000,000, tko
total for tho year hoing'likoly to roach
$835,000,000.
Novor boforo havo tho exports of agri
cultural produots roached tho $800,000,000
lino, and novor but twico havo tboy boon
ns much as $700,000,000, and two occa
sions in willoh thoy passed tho $700,000,
000 lino hoing in 1881 and 1802. Com
pared with last fiscal year tho iuoreaao in
oxporla of agricultural products will bo
fully $150,000,000, and compared with tho
procoding yoar tho increase will bo ovor
$250,000,000, whilo tho total will bo fully
50 por cont in oxcosa of that of tho fiscal
yoar 1805.
In breadstuff's alone tho oxports of tho
yoar will amount to nearly $1,000,000 for
each Imsiiless, day and will bo moro than
$100,000,000 in oxcoBB of last yoar's ox
ports of broadstufTs. Noa ri y all articles
classed na broadatuffa havo participated
in thia increase. Of wheat tho valuo of
tho oxports for tho fiscal yoar 1808 will
bo moro than*double thoso of tho fiscal
?oar 1807, whilo tho incienso in Hour will
o nearly 50 por cont and of corn nearly
50 por cont in value. May exports of
corn woro largor than thoso of any othor
month in the history of tho country,
whilo tho total exporta of corn for tho
year for tho first timo will pass tho 200,
000,000 bushel lino, tho total in only throo
preceding years having roached 100,000,
000 buahols.
Coin moni, oata and oat moat and ryo
show a striking increase, tho gain in oat
meal being more than 00 per cont ovor
last year and that of oats 100 por cont,
whilo in ryo the gain ia also phonombially
largo.
In "provisions," in which torin nro
included hoof, hog and dairy product?,
thoro is also a marked increaso, tho total
exporta of provibions for tho year being
likely to roach $100,000,000 In valuo.
Most of this increase, howevor, ia in bog
products, exportations of bacon, which
woro $31,187,147 in value last year, being
likely to roach $11,000,000 this year, and
lard showing a similar increaso, hoing
likoly to reach $37,000,000 this year, or a
gain of nearly $8,000,000.
Elvo beef seems to bo gaining in popu
larity with our foreign customurs, tho
oxports of hoof oattlo having increased
materially, while thoso of hoof, oithor
frosh, canned or salt, havo failed to show
any increaso, in most casca a decided
falling ott hoing noticoablo.
Tho exports of hoof cattlo during tho
first ton months of tho fiscal year ? woro
370,003, against 310,178 in tho correspond
ing months of last year, whilo fresh hoof
in tho snnio period foll from 242,108,031
pounds in ton months of 1807 to 227,434,
373 pounds in tho corresponding tun
months of 1808. Salted hoof BIIOWS a fall
of 35 por cont for tho year, and canned
hoof from 40,310,000 pounds in tho ton
months of 1807 to 31,011,120 poonda in
tho ton months of 18:18.
DISCOVERS /"BY A WOMAN.
Another grcrc discovery bas been
inado, and tba* too, by a lady in thia
country. "D' ,oaso fastened Ita clutches
upon her for aoven years abo withstood
its severest tests, but her vital orgaiiB
wove undormined and death scorned Im

incessantly, and could not. sloop. Sho
finally discovered a way to rccovory, by
purchasing of us a bottlo of Dr. King's

Tho War*Tflx Rill.
Tho war tax bill as finally agreed upon
is considerably moro 'iko tho original
i louse bill than that willoh tho Sonato
endeavored to substitute for lt.
Tho act authorizes tho ism 3 of $100,
000,000 throo-yoar troasury c.-: ti lientos of
indebtedness. On this point thc 11 ouse
and Sonato bills agreed. Tho llouso bill
provided for an Issuo of $500,000,000 of
bonds, and tho Sonato bill for $300,000,
000. Tho conforonco committoo substi
tuted $400,000,000.
Tho llouso recoded from its proposed
incronso of tonnngo taxoa on foreign
shipping, probably because it might have
intorforod with our friendly relations
with Croat britain. Tho Sonato recodes
from its amendment, laying stamp laves
on gooda which aro sold undor trado
marka or oxcbi8ivo patents. Among tho
moat important Sonato amendments
which stand aro thoso taxing toa ten
couta a pound, taxing adulterated Hour,
sleeping car and parlor car tickets, tho
gross rccoipts of potrolium and augar
rofiiiiiig companies in excess of $250,000,
tho bax on bnukers, brokora and theatre
proprietors in citica of moro than 25,000
population.
Tho boar tax ia increased from $1 to $2
a barrel, and thcro ls a general increaso
in tho tooae.co tax schedule. Tho gradu
ated inheritance tax also stands. We aro
to have taxes also on all chocks above $20,
on purchaso of bonds and stocks of cor
porations, on patont medicines, faco
powder, iiicBsagoa. ovor tolograph and
long distanco telephone wires, oil mort
gages and logal documents of vnvioua
kind: , on exprOBS packages, bisuranco
polio-..;, tickets to Europo, sleeping oar
tickots and Humorous other artiolca.
Instoad of directing that tho sllvor
soigniorago shall bo coined at tho rato of
$3,500,000 a month, os tho Sonato wanted
it, tho Act provldoa that tho bullion pur
chased undor tho Sherman Aot shall bo
coined "as rapidly aa tho public intorosts
may require, to tho nmount, howovor, of
not leas than $1,500,000 in each month."
And tho dollars BO coined "sholl bo used
ami applied in tim mannor and for tho
purposes named in said Aot."
It will bo observed that tho taxes levied
by thia Act aro mainly on articles of
luxury. Tho bill probably provides
for raising tho extraordinary rcvouuo
needed that, will mako them fall as oaay
aa thoy possibly could.-Atlanta Journal.
