WASHINGTON , Aug. 12. The war
dopartmcnt yesterday took prompt
measures for the rcllof of the hurri
cane sufferers in Porto Klco. When
the press dispatches and General Da
vis' advices made known the extent
of the disaatcr stops were Immediately
taken to send supplies and the trans
port McPheison was ordered put in
readiness to sail from Ntw York on
Monday next. It will carry rations
nnd ether necessaries. Secretary of
War Root yesterday sent Iho following
appeal to the mayors of all cities of
moro than IfiO.OOO population.
Sir Tlio governor general of Porto
Rico conllrms the report that upon the
8th lust , a hurricane swept over the
Island , entirely demolishing many of
the towns , destroying many lives and
reducing so far as ho can estimate ,
not loss than 100,000 of the Inhabitants
to the condition of absolute destitu
tion , without homes or food. Unless
Immediate and effective relief Is given
these unfortunates will perish of fam
ine.
ine.Under those conditions the president
deems that an appeal shojid bo made
to the humanity of the American pee
ple. It Is an appeal to their patriot
ism also , for the inhabitants of PortJ
Rico have freely and gladly submitted
themselves to the guardianship of the
United States and have voluntarily
surrendered the protection of Spain ,
to which they were formerly entitled ,
confidently relying upon more gener
ous and beneficent treatment at our
hands. The highest considerations of
honor and good faith unite with the
promptings of humanity to require
from the United States a generous re
sponse to the demand oC Porto Rlcan
distress.
This department has directed the
immediate distribution of rations to
the suffeiers by the army of Porto
Rico , so far as It is within the power
of the executive , but in the absence of
any appropriation wo must rely large
ly upon private contributions.
I beg that you will call upon the
public-spirited and humane people of
your city to take active and immediate
measures in this exigency. The gov
ernment transport MePherson will bo
sent directly from the port of New
York to Porto Rico on Monday , the
llth inst , to carry all supplies of food
Which can bo obtained. Further trans
ports will be sent at future dates , of
which public notice will bo given.
Any committee charged with the
raising of funds will receive full Information
mation and advice upon communicat
ing with this department. Very re
spectfully ,
ELIHU ROOT ,
Secretary of War.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 12. The war
department yesterday received n cnblo-
grBin from General Davis giving fuller
iloialln of tlio dninngo done in Porto
Hico by the hurricane.
General Davis snys n famine Is Im
pending nnd iiHks authority to Issue
rations to the destitute. The message
says :
"Later reports show that hurricane
was far more severe In Interior and
southern imrt of IB-mid than hero. Data
for estimate of number of I'orto HIcnns
who have lost everything is deficient ,
but I am forced to believe the number
on island cannot fall below 100.000
souls and a famine is Impending. 1 ask

equal quantities of each , bo Imme

commanders for food for the destitute.
Am I authorized to relieve distress by

of natives by falling walls. So far only
one soldier reported dangerously In
jured. Several towns reported entirely
demolished. An yet have reports from
only four ports. Complete destruction
of all barracks at two and In two
others one company each had bar
racks destroyed. Troops are In can-
van. No reports yet from the largest
ports , Ponce and MayaRiic ; ! , but they
were in the vortex of the storm. At
least half of the people In I'orto Rico
subsist entirely on fruit and vege

WASHINGTON , Aug. 12. The audi

n-gio's lights to Indian funds by dis
allowing expenses for the board and
nu'dlcal treatment of John Woodruff ,
a negro from the Pine Ridge agency ,
now at tlio government insane hospi
tal hero. The auditor says these ex
penses cannot be allowed as a charge
against the appropriation for the sup
port and subsistence of the Sioux un
til the man establishes a status as a
j Sioux Indian. Tlio Interior department
expi esses the opinion that neither the
Sioux nation nor any tribe or brunch
tribe has any voice In determining
what disposition should bo made b >
the government of the fund question
so long as its obligations to the In

n. T. Galloway : This disease oc
curs In many parts of the South , and ,
n addition to attacking the potato , Is
ound to seriously Injure eggplants and
omatoos. In the case of tlio potato ,
ho leaves , stems , and tubers arc af-
ectcd. The dlsrase URinlly manifests
tself by a sudden wilting of the follngo
nnd soon the whole plant may beoomo
iffected , the leaves nnd HteniH nhrhol-
ng and then turning brown or
) lack. The disease reaches the tu
bers through the stems , producing a
irown or black discoloration of the
tissues nnd ultlmutoly a complete
ireaklni ; down or letting ; of all the
mrta. Drown rot Is caused by a biioll-
UR , a minute organism , which multi
plies In the tissues and thiough Us
netlon produces the effects mentioned.

Various insects , such as Colorado
beetles , flea beetles , and blister beetles ,
Bervo as carriers of the disease. These
Insects may feed on a diseased plant ,
nnd In their visits to adjoining healthy
ones Infect the tissues through bites
and possibly In ether ways.
Treatment. Throughout the South ,
namely , In South Carolina , Mississippi ,
Alabama , and adjacent states where
this disease Is known to occur , a thor
ough system of spraying , such as rec
ommended for early blight , should bo
followed. In addition , all diseased
vines should bo removed and destroyed
as soon as possible , and the tubers
should bo dug and cither used at once
or stored In a cool , dry place. In
planting It would bo well to avoid land
which has just been used for tomatoes
or egg-plants , nnd finally seed tubers
from localities where the disease Is ab
sent should bo used If practicable.

There is a strong growing sentiment
in many sections In favor of allowing
the Western states to have control of
the public lands situated within their
borders and lease them to stockmen ,
using the rental money for state Im
provements , such as building Irriga
tion works , improving land , etc. The
prejudice against allowing the govern
ment to cede the public lands to the
states Is so fixed that those who have
favored this policy have reached the
conclusion that they will never attain
their end ; but the rental proposition
Is a comparatively now Idea , and meets
with very general favor. Some of the
now states have very small settled
areas , and It is claimed that It Is un
fair that they should bo imposed wltn
the burden of policing In some cases
as much as 90 per cent of the state ,
which Is govotnmcnt land , and from
which the state derives no visible ben
efit. If , however , this land should be
leased for a nominal sum , It would do
away with the range problem , which
Is becoming a serious matter In the
West , now that thcro Is not room
enough for all the stockmen , and It
would bring In a considerable revenue
to the utatcs and territories. Legis
latures of new statoH are prone some
times to do very foolltdi thlngn , but It
Is argued that whatovc-r they did with
tlio money derived from tlio lease *
they could only squander the Income *
while the tltlo to the hind would still

work IB soon to bo Issued by the Put-
nnms , of New York. In a general \vny
the points to bo considered In the
window culture ot orchlda nro : First.
that (1 urine the cooler seaiion the
plants are moro or less Inactive nnd
need little water. Second , that dur
ing the warm nonnon , when ftrowth is
moro rapid , the roots should bo moro
or loan continually surrounded by
moVnlr. . Third , that provision should
ho mndo to protect the roots from bo-
comlng dry during the period of
growth , yet allow a much moro free
contact with air than is usual In the
case of most other plants ; this la ac
complished by the imturo of the receptacle -
ceptaclo In which the plants are grown
by using a fibrous peat and moas for
potting soil and by frequent waterings
and dippings. Unless fresh rainwater ,
or other water containing the noccs-
nciry fortlllKhiR elements , la used to
feed orchids there will bo a gradual
degeneration In the constitution ot the
plants ; but this IB a minor matter In
the culture of a few plants which can
bo replaced at small c\penao. Cattlcyan
will usually survive a starving treat
ment for ten or more years. Orchids
are loss particular about the architec
tural imturo of their abode than any
other plants. Unclosed windows or
porch conservatories answer well.

Itriui Culture.
The small white varieties of beans
are the moat easily raised and most
prolific , ripening better and harder.
They bear distant shipping or lour
voyages better than the narrow or
roundish sorts , or the long or kidney
beans , but the latter soil much higher
In market. The navy beans average
twenty bushels per aero ; all kinds
vary In production according to the
b-eiison. The narrow are considered by
some the most uncertain , but In other
respects the most desirable.
In growing ooans , It Is moro an ob
ject to obtain seed limn vines ; to suc
ceed requires Judgment as well as a
favorable season. Too rich land In
clines the vines to run too much to
lilossom after the first pods have
nponod. Growers have nuccoedcd best
upon sod plowed down smillow ; the
> econd year yielding the best , with a
ght cast of manure sowed broadcast.
I'hoy should not bo worked while the
low Is on , lesa they become rusty. The
vines have a longer root than the po
tato. Up-to-Dato Farming.

the filling oC grain sacks. It Is fur-
nlshcd at the top of ono sldo with
heavy hooks , by which It caa bo hung

eg In the Garden. Various meth
ods are adopted to tlestroy or drive
away moles. Some persons appear to
bo able to use mole traps to good ad
vantage , while other are not so suc
cessful with them , prbably because
they do not give tlio needed attention.
It is said that kerosene oil poured Into
a mole run , and then covered up , will
drive the creatures away. Blsulphido
of carbon will kill them If It reaches
them ; pour Into the mole run'about a
gill of carbon bisulphide and Imme
diately cover it over ; the fumes will
penetrate the runs for some distance
and will kill the moles If present.
Small hits of meat containing a very
little strychnine will kill tlio animals
