Bennett of San Diego, . had telegraphed her of- fering a car lead of lemons for distri Interested in th bution among the army hospitals. Col. Brown promptly replied that the gift would be very acceptable. Maj. William H. Arthur, in charge of the hospital ship Missouri, received the following from M Gould yesterday: “Is there anything in the way of sup- ples or apparatus that would con- tribute to the comfort of the sick and wounded on board the Missouri? This association would gladly contribute to the equipment of the ship under your direction and on receipt of instruc- tions from you.” The association meant is the Womans’ tional War Relief association, on whose paper the létter was written. AMONG TROOPS, Officers of the Sixth Resign. Washington, Aug. 6.—It is stated at the war department that no informa- tion has been received up to this. time concerning the reported serious fric- tion in the Sixth Massachusetts regi- ment, now serving in Porto Rico, and ihe resignation of a number of regi- mental officers. Under the circum- stances the officials of the departmert decline to discuss the reported incident and they convey the idea that they have no information of what has led up to it. FRICTION Massachusetts Owing to Poor Markets. North Vasselboro, Me., Aug. 6.—The whole of the mills owned by Samuel Williams of . Boston and Thomas Sampson of Winslow, have shut down for an unknown period ewing to poor markets. Over 600 are thrown out of employment. About an Average. Winnipeg, Aug. 6—The Manitoba & Northwestern railway crop report indi- eates that the wheat yield in the Northwestern part of the province will be about an average. The harvest will begin about Aug. 15. Harvest Almost Completed. Wood Lake, Minn., Aug. 6.—The har- vest is almost completed in this section of the country. The ayerage yield will be about twenty bushels per acre and ‘with a good price farmers will come out clear. ALGER IS WORRIE! Lack of Wharfage at Santiago May Retard the Speedy Return of the Soldiers.

Gen. Shafter has been called upon by cable to describe the state of affairs, and he will be given all the help in the power of the war depart- ment, but still it is believed that the whole of Shafter’s soldiers cannot be embarked before Sept. 1. Meanwhile the big hospital and camp at Montauk Point is being rapidly put into readi- tess for their reception, As there is a doubt as to the ability of transports to come alengside the wharf in Fort Pong harbor, provision will be made for a number of light-draft side-wheel New York ferry men ashore from steamers, possibly boats, to take the ihe big steamers.

Spain’s answer is expected Tuesday. Gen. Henry takes a few more towns in Puerto Rico. Another division goes to Rico to reinforce Miles. Gen. Wade has been ordered to take command of the next division for Puerto Rico, ‘ No forward movement will be made by Gen. Miles until the bulk of the army is disembarked. There will be no cessation of hostil- ities until Spain gives full assurance that our conditions will be accepted. The town of Neuvitas, in the Proy- ince of Puerto Principe, is reported to have been bombarded by American warships. The French ambassador is clothed with full power to negotiate peace’ and all that is now needed to close the war is Spain's ratification of wh-.t has been agreed upon by the president and M. Camben. Puerto Tuesday, All eyes are now turned on Spain. Spain’s answer is expected to-day Gen. Merritt has completed his pre- parations for the attack on Manila. A fleet of transports will sail for Manila Thursday. Gen. King will command. The town of Juan Diaz, near Ponce, surrendered with great enthusiasm and greetings for American troops. ‘The president will call an extra ses- sion of both houses of congress as soon as Spain’s answer is received. Gen. Merritt reports the situation at Manila very unsatisfactory and dan- gerous owing to the attitude of the in- surgents. ‘rhe volunteer army goes out of ex- istence with the termination of the war, so provision must be made for an adequate army for garrison duty in our new possessions. August 2. Wednesday, August 3. The president will not assent to any essential modifications. American warships take more Puerto Rican towrs. Sagasta’s ministry maxing a bluff to placate the Spanish people, Spain’s answer not yet received but it is believed it will come to-day. It is believed that Gen. Miles will achieve almost a bloodless victory over Puerto Rico. Garcia is believed to have had a hard fight with Spaniards in which he came out victorious. Irem unofficial sources it is learned that the proposals of the United States have been accepted by Spain. The attitude of the Philippine insur- gents is causing great anxiety among Washington officials. No surprise would be felt at the receipt of news of an outbreak, in a few Thursday, August 4.

Rooosevelt a sharp rap on the knuckles. This government will make no modi- fication cr changes in the terms sub- mitted. Gen. Brooke's troops are landing at Arroyo, Porto Rico, under cover of the guns of the St. Louis and Gincinnati. In order to meet the criticisms of political opponents, the Spanish cabi- net may submit a counter proposition. The discovery that Spaniards have mined the military road leading to San Juan has caused eGn. Miles to change his plans. Brigade and division commanders at Santiago unite in an appeal to Gen. Shafter to urge the immediate re- moval of the army to the United States. Saturday, August 6. Spain's answer has not yet been re- ceived. Manzanillo is anxious to surrender to the Americans. The embarking of Shafter’s troops as already commenced. Sagasta has giveyn orders not to force resistance in Porto Rico. The American note demands pos- session of Manila bay and Subig. Gen.

Sn ee ste IO ie GEN. MACIAS WILL FIGHT. Captain Gencral of Port.o Rico Means =usiness On Board the Associated Press Dis- patch Boat, Off San Juan de Porto Rico, Aug. 7. — The Americans have taken peaceful possession of the east- ern portion of the island. Small parties of marines have been landed, who haye lighted lamps in the light- house at Capt San Juan and other lighthouses along the coast. They met with no resistance. Indeed, at Cape San Juan deputations of citizens came cut to meet them. The warships now in this vicinity are the Ment- gomery, the Annapolis, the Puritan and the Amphitrite. The two former are looking for the transports with troops which left the United States and have scattered all about the is- Jand. The Annapolis rounded up the Whitney, the Florida and the Raleigh yesterday and they are now at Cape San Juan. There scems to have been a serjous mistake as to the rendezvous, for no two ships got to the same place, and it will take several days to locate them and get them to Ponce, where Gen, Miles is waiting. Off San Juan the cruiser New Orleans alone m: tains the blockade. The city is grim and silent, but back of her yellow walls there will be plenty of determin- ation and fight when the America open fire. Capt. Gen. Macias has is- sued a proclamaticn, in the course of which he says: “Spain has not sued for peace and I ean drive off the American boats now as I did Samp- son’s before.” The daughter of the captain general is helping to drill the gunners in the forts. Altogether there are 9,500 Spanish regulars in the city. The troops of the enemy who are re- treating from Ponce and the other towns on the south coast occupied by the Americans, have not yet arrived. The German steamer Polynesia, with a cargo of rum, canned meats and to- bacco, tried to run the blockade and was stopped by the New Orleans. LOSING NO TIME. Gen, Miles Providing Regardless of Peace Negotiations. Ponce, Porto Rico, Aug. 7. — Maj. Gen. Miles is proceeding entirely with- out regard to peace negotiations. Krag-Jorgensens are being issued. The Second and Third Wisconsin are moy- ing up to the Sixteenth Pennsylvania. Col. Hulings has captured 5,000 pounds of rice. Thus far the enemy has not molested him. Maj. Gen. Brooke's landing at Arroyo is suce The troops from the Roumanian, four batteries of the Twenty-fifth In- diana, the First Missouri, the First Pennsylvania and the Fifth Mlinois, are disembarking. The Morgan troop, of the Fifth cavaylry, and the Mis: sippi commissaries have arrived here. Pushing on to San Juan. On the Road to San Juan, Aug. 7.— The Sixteenth Pennsylvania, of Gen. Ernst’s brigade, advauced to this point, six miles beyond Juna Diana, and now holds the bridge over the river, The Second and Third Wisconsin are ex- pected to-day. No sign of the enemy is reported, but it is believevd that the Spaniards are about 400 strong be- tween this point and Coamo, The seizure of the bridge insures control ot the read to Coamo.

Apalachicola, Fla., Aug. 7.—George C. Randolph, purser of the tug Nim- rod of Mobile, has arrivevd here. ac- companied by two shipmates, and re- ports one of the most terrible disas- ters that has ever occurred on the guif. The Nimrod, towing the dredge ‘Thomas H. Berndon and two scows, were all totally wrecked off Cape St. Blas in Tuesday night's storm.. The Nimrod, with twelvev of her crew, went down forty miles at sea, and nothing has since been heard of them. The dredge, with her two scows, is ashore on Cape St. Blas. The dredge is a total loss. 3 The A subscriber wants me to how to use dynamite to get out stumps and stones, and wants to know how dangerous is its use, writes J. S. Wood- ward in Practical Farmer. I don’t know of any better way—in fact, not one so good, easy and cheap to rid a field of stumps or stones as the use of dynamite. It costs from 10 to 14 cents per pound by the box, and it should be got in sticks of % inch in diameter, weighing about 12 ozs. each. He may use only a part of a stick, or two or more, as needed, by the size of stump or stones, but which can only be told by a little practice on the particular lot. It is not as dangerous as com- mon black powder, as it will not ex- Plode by contact with fire, and can only be set off by capsor exploders made for the purpose. In purchasing he should be sure to see that it has no free nitro-glycerine; in other words, that any of the sticks are not leak- ing, for this is the explosive principle, and when it shows free it is very dan- gerous, as a sudden stamp of the foot might explode it. What the effect of the dynamite will be on any particular lot of stones or stumps no one can tell. It will be necessary to do a little experimenting, and only use just enough when blasting stumps, as the larger the charge the more it will be torn. When one is thrown out entire, if too large to be easily handled, it can be easily split by boring a hole into it on the side he desires it to split and in- serting from a quarter to a full stick. To use the dynamite on stumps, dig down on one side so a hole can be made with an iron bar under the main part, close to the tap root if it has one, and close up so the dynamite will be in close contact with the stump. Take a stick of dynamite and undo one end, with a lead pencil or small round stick make a hole down in the dyna- mite an inch or more deep. Now take a piece of fuse of suitable length so you can get to a safe distance while burning; slip a cap or exploder onto the fresh cut end of the fuse far enough so that the powder in cut end shall rest on the fulminth at the bot- tom and crimp the sides down on the fuse so as to hold it firm, then push the cap down into the hole made in dynamite and pack it firmly about the fuse and replace the paper and it is well to tie it with a string. To make everything sure smear all about the end and over the fuse with the wagon grease or tallow, so as to make it wa- ter tight. I recommend this because it is better to use water in the hole when blasting with dynamite, it will give so much better execution. You can use any portion of a “stick” or any number of them as necessary and when more than one is used be sure to have them in contact and one cap will set them all off. The same directions will apply for blasting stones. Get the charges under the stone, or as near so as possible, and in all cases with stumps or stones be sure that the dynamite is in close con- tact with the thing to be moved, Pack it up then with sticks, stones or dirt, apything, and when all is completed, our in enough water to fill thé spacé or hole, but of course the fuse must be water-proof or coated with grease and the end be kept Out of the water; when ail {§ ready fire the fuse and “git;” go to a safe distance and see the stump get out as quickly and easily as the smallest. I have seen them cavorting over the tops of the highest trees like a flying Dutchman. It’s just fun. Importance of Seed Selection —Few farmers comprehend the influence ex- erted upon a crop by good seed, or the injury that may result from the sowing of poor seed. The propagation of plants from weak or degenerately in- clined parents frequently results | in great financial injury to the propaga- tor, and may also result in contamina- tion of all the seed produced in a neighborhood. A seed contains the hereditary tendencies of thousands of generations. If its progenitors have tended toward barrenness or fruitful- ness it will tend in the same direc- tion. If the corn plant resulting from a certain grain is given the very best possible conditions for its growth and maturity, we can expect the plant to evolve what heredity has put into it. If one of its parents came from an ex- tremely fruitful type while the other came from a family characterized by parrenness, we can at best only hope for it to be indifferently fruitful.— Kansas Farmer. Gypsum.—Wherever the white, soft rock from which gypsum or land plas- ter is produced, it is ground during the winter in large amounts and sold at very low prices, often as cheap as $2 to $3 per ton. Farmers drive twelve to fifteen miles in winter for a load of land plaster, as it is usually called. When it is thus plentiful and cheap, advantage is found in making two or three applications of it during the growing season to clover, peas and oth- er broad-leaved plants. It is not good to apply it to small grains, especially if the season is wet. By increasing the dew fall on the leaves it increases the liability of rust to attack them and thus injure the crop.—Ex. Horticultural Knowledge Abundant. —It will be necessary to use very nice judgment in applying the principles which govern tree growth and fruit production; but in these days of abun- | dant horticultural literature, and excel- lent books on orchard economy, no one ought to be at a loss to know what to do for the best under his own condi- tions. No two cases are exactly alike, advice for your neighbor would be wholly inapplicable under your condi- tions. Every man must work out his own salvation in temporal as well as in spiritual things, and the plum will go to the man who applies a liberal dressing of brains to his land.—North~ west Horticulturist.
