The men, Maraello Salinas, a Cuban, and Maximilliano Olay, a Spaniard, admit strong anarchistic views. The de- portation of one, Salinas, appears probable, since he freely admits being an anarchist and having been one for iive years, within which period he came to the United States from Cuba. Salinas was the roommate of Manuel Pardenas, the assassin who went from this country to Spaiy last year and killed Prime Minister Canalejas, a few months ago.

In my last 1 spoke of the prospec- tive strawberries. They here new and you cap see them in the Better still, we can are stores for sale, vo out in our own pateh and pick ripe ones. It is astonishing (o me to gee how fast everything grows here when it is fertilized and cultivated. Everything needs some fertilizer, es- pecially potash, because of the deep sandy loam where there is a de- ticiency of potash, as there is in Il- linois and where they have the samo conditions, such as the Tampico re- gion in Ogle county. Yesterday we discovered that our entire dinner consisted of food we had raised since we arrived here on Aug. 10. The menu consisted of fried chicken, new potatoes, green peas, Lect greens with pork, radishes, on- fon and pepper salad, chow chow, with guava jelly and oranges for dessert. We have an abundance of other things that are good to eat that were not included in that din- ner, such us cabbage, kohlrabi, akra, lettuce, endive, tomatoes, ote, So» you gee there {8 o necespity for one ['1c starve hero If he only plants and cares for. 3 There i8 another feature of the soll here thay | have found from ac: tual experience and that is the ease ©f cultivation. 1 find that it takes about one-fourth as much labor to cultivine the soil as It does in Nli- nois. 1 know that the difference would pay for the fertilizer that you have to use here, if not more.
