Bridal Veil Falls is the spot stated as the chosen site, and it would prove an ideal spot for the summer tourists and general public. An unusually large acreage of wheat has been under cultivation this year on the dry farms in Davis county, and although the yield will not be so heavy as last year, the quality is excellent. Harvesting is about over and threshing will begin in a few days. The country storekeepers cleaned out their stocks early in the year and have been baying heavily recently on terms more favorable than heretofore a fact resulting from the increased money in circulation among the farmers and miners of the state. . The town Fla., Aug. of Carabelle, on the Gulf of Mexico, southwest of this eitv, is reported almost destroyed by a terrific wind and rainstorm.

A few houses were destroyed at St. Tereasa. The wires are down south of here and railroad service to the gulf ports is suspended. The storm was one of the hardest that ever passed over this section. For hours the wind was terrific, and-thrain fell in torrents.

An officer oi one of the volunteer regiments now it the Philippines has the following tc say regarding the situation there: The arrival of the rainy seasor finds the insurrection as vigorous as i: has been any time since the outbreak. The insurgents' armies are well recruited notwithstanding their heavy losses and are well fed and clothed. They have profited by their fivt months of warfare against the Americans. They are fast adopting American tactics and are becoming bettei disciplined and more skillful in the ust of their weapons every day. One hundred thousand soldiers should be here ready' for business by the beginning of the dry' season in November. Garrisons could then be stationed at strategic points. A continuous warfare cannot be carried on in this enervating climate by the same troops. Frequent reliefs are necessary. Troops should not be kept here loDger than a year.
