While our troops were cautiously ad vancing under a desultory musketry fire through the streets of the city the Belgian consul had gone out in his launch to Admiral Dewey with the news that the Captain General was ready to surrender the city. This was at once communicated to General Mer ritt, who, with two officers, went ashore with the consul, the white flag having meantime been hoisted. General Greene at last received in formation that he could move his troops on Into the main city, which he did by following the broad boule vard along the moat, crossing the bridges and entering the Plaza de Calderon de la Barca. Battalions were at once sent out to guard each of the main bridges and approaches to the city proper against the entrance of armed insurgents, many of whom had tried to come Into the city on our heels for the purpose of looting. Sucn as got In were disarmed and sent back, and the others were kept out by our men. There was practically no loot ing by the native Filipinos of the city, for sentinels were posted in every quar ter; and very few complaints have come in of such outrages, even In the far districts. It was now 6 o'clock, and by 7 our men were distributed at their new posts, for the most part occupying pub lic buildings or porticos. Mo3t of them were too tired to do anything more than make a meal from their haver sacks and lie down on the deserted sidewalks to rest and sleep, knowing that their turn at sentry duty would soon come. Every shop and house in the place was closed, and one noticeable thing was the prevalence of the flag. Every Chinaman's house and every China man's window displayed this emblem of protection, so that the business dis trict looked as if it were dressed for holiday. The Spanish inhabitants, the officers and soldiers gave not the slightest token of hostility or displeas ure. The prevailing feeling in the at mosphere on all sides was one cf re liefrelief that the strain of war, of hunger, of uncertainty was over. Gen eral Merritt sent for General Greene about 8 o'clock, and I accompanied the latter to the Governor General's pal ace in the old walled city, where we found General Merritt and his staff Eeatea at a comfortable dinner, which the late Governor ftenciv. i were serving. The entrance to the pal- I caught the fancy of the French author ace is a large marble-paved court, with I -ties and caused their 'former enthu a fine statue of Sebcstian Cabot be- siasm in its behalf. tween the two broad flights cf stairs I It was found that this feature a ca whlch lead up to the slate apartments, i pacity of fifteen shots per minute This court was piled head high with ' captured muskets, equipments and Mauser cartridges, while a company of soldiers were sleeping on the floor along the walls. Outside strinss of sur rendered cavalry horses were tied to .ne trees of the garden, and the whoic place suggested the picturesque side of war. It is needless to say that everybody was In good humor and good appe tite; but It seemed unutterably strange to see a group of officers in the uni form of the United States, stained with mud and belted with revolvers, sitting about and smoking their cigars with a comfortable air of proprietorship in those lofty rooms of viceroyalty. hung with splendid old portraits of Spain's weak rulers and Spain's bold robbers. The weather-beaten face of one old fel low in a casque seemed to look upon ns with a stern eye, and I said to my self: "If that old sixteenth century buccaneer had been in command today there would have been more American soldiers left dead upon the fields of Ma-late."-Captain Mott U.

Their war service did not last long enough to get them thor oughly initiated and the survivors of the civil war can beat them at any game they please to Join In. What one of them, for Instance, can match with Maj. Lamar Fontaine, "Stonewall Jack son's ex-scout" who, the New England Register says, "was wounded sixty seven times" and thirteen times bis lungs were pierced. Five times in the course of the war he was reported dead. On two occasions he was able, with the aid of mirrors, to look into apertures In hia flesh aad watch the beating of his own haart" H ia la Naw Haven now, waka proves It, aays tka Army and Navy JavaaL -z V There arrived at- the Washington, navy yard recently the first large con signment of war relics taken from Spanish ships at Santiago, including a number of guns from the Teresa, which now lies a hopeless wreck on Cat Island. They were brought to Washington by the U. S. S. Leonldas, which was one of the convoy of the Teresa at the time she was abandoned. Altogether she brought twenty-three guns removed from the enemy's ves sels; all of them are of 5.5 caliber and could not be converted into either five or six inch guns of the American navy. Ten of these wrre from the Teresa, ten from the Vlsxaya and three from tho Oquendo. One six-inch gun taken from 1 the Teresa was also on board. One of the five-inch is nistoric from the fact that tho entire gun crew managing it was killed by a shot which broke through the gun shield. Another gun has an indention in its side, the result of being hit by a one-pounder. All the suns show some marks of the fierce fight. Capt. John II. Euckman, a retired sea captain who once sailed under Admiral Dewey, says that once an Irishman got the better of Dewey, then a lieutenant commander, in the brief r-assago of words. The ship was being prepared at Boston for sea. Dewey asked the Irishman whether he had "ever been to sea." The quick response was: "And how do yez think 1 came to this country, in a donk cart?" That Dewey was always a man of resources Capt. Buckman illustrates by a story of an occurrence in Boston harbor. A lot of groen Irishmen had been sent to his ship. He ordered them aloft, but they refused to go, apparently afraid to risk their necks so far from deck. Dewey thought over the matter a moment and sent out to a store for half a dozen hods. When they were obtained he ordered the Irishmen to carry bricks to one of the cross-pieces and lay them there and Capt. Buckman says he and his comrades were somewhat surprised at the alacrity with which the Irishmen hods over their shoulders, climbed aloft This is good, but doubtful. Mow Ensign Cart In Demanded the Sur render of Ponce. He is about the youngest-looking boy in the navy, and he is short of stature, but in his methods he is Napoleonic. He landed, with a letter, for the mili tary commander, which demanded the surrender of the port anil city, and he were his sidcarms and an expression in which there was no trace of pity. The captain of the port informed him that the military commander was at Ponce, but that he might be persuaded to surrender if the American naval offi cer would condescend to drive up to Ponce and make his demands in per son. The American officer fairly shook and quivered wiiu indignation. "Zounds," and "Gadzooks," and "Dam- me, sir," would have utterly failed to express his astonishment. Had it come to this, then, that an ensign, holding the president's commission, and repre senting such a ship of terror as the "Wasp," was to go to a mere colonel, commanding a district of 60,000 inhab itants? "How long will it take that military commander to get down here if he hurries?" demanded Ensign Curtln. The trembling captain of the port, the terrified foreign consuls and the custom-house officials thought that a swift-moving cab might bring him to the port in a half hour. "Have you a telephone about the place?" asked the Napoleonic Curtifl. They had. "Then call him up and tell him that if be doesn't come down here in a hack in thirty minutes and surrender, I shall bombard Ponce!" This Was the ensign's ultimatum. He turned his back on the terrified inhab itants and returned to his gig. Four hacks started on a mad race for Ponce and the central office of. the telephone rang with hurry calls. On his way out to the ship Ensign Curtln met Commander Davis on his way to the shore. Commander Davis looked at his watch. "I shall extend his time another half hour," said Com mander Davis. Ensign Curtin saluted sternly, making no criticism upon this weak generosity on the part of his superior officer, but he could afford to be magnanimous. Richard H. Davis in Scrlbner's. France's New Field Gnn. France's new field defense weapon, of which warm praises were sung by the French newspapers last summer, turns out to be not entirely free from vulnerable defects. It was subjected to tests in the manoeuvres of the Third and Sixth corps in Camp at Chalons recently. The result of these tests is discussed freely in the Progres Mili taire, which judges the adaptability of the new contrivance adversely. The ranid-firine oualKics of the new gun interfered with the accuracy of aim and the effectiveness of each individual shot. Moreover, the gun's reach was net as long as that cf ordinary artil lery pieces. -The locking device was so sensitive that the least knock or minimum of dirt or grit would render It useless. At best the new gun could cot be made toaccomplish more than the old ones. The new gun is known as the Deport System gun. Under the circumstances it is not likely to be adopted by the French army. For J.ipin'a Navy. Japan is keeping shipyards in sev eral countries busy with orders for new war vessels. At the present time two protected cruisers of the second class are being built in this country fov Japan, and France and Germany are each building one armored cruiser of the first-class. One third-class cruiser and two torpedo gunboats are on the stocks in Japanese yards, and in British hands the biggest orders of all are being carried out. England is the principal purveyor for Japan's navy. She is now building for it four battleships of the first class, five armored cruisers of the first class, each of 10,000 tons- displacement, and several torpedo-boat destroyers. Two years hence Japan's navy will rank among the most Important of th world. Aa Accidental Ubtcovery. A curious state of things is said to have been observed in investigating the electrolysis cf water-pipes in Day ten, Ohio.

At this time it Is particularly neces sary for all to guard the purity of the milk supply. Especially is this advice applicable to all that are producing milk for use in the great cities. Re cently a representative of the Farm ers' Review called on an army surgeon located at Fort Sheridan. The surgeon called special attention to the fact that many of the returned soldiers had been, or were, now sick with typhoid fever at their homes in the country. The well water In such cases is almo3t sure to become contaminated, and if not the well water, then the germs are more than likely to get into utensils used in the handling of milk. These germs live in the ground for years, and during all of that time are constantly moved from their first positions by rains and drouths, being driven through the soil by the lateral move ment of capillary water and otherwise. In this way it may take years for them to progress from a sewer or vault to the drinking water, but sooner or later they find their way into the liquid that is used for all purposes and then mul tiply for work. All drinking water should be under suspicion, and should be boiled. All milk used In the households should be pasteurized. The cans In which milk is to be sent to the cities and cream erics should bo purified at least by boiling and by steam if possible. If we are to make war on disease germs we must begin with dairy products and dairy surroundings. Very often a well has been the means of spreading ty phoid fever through a whole commun ity, sometimes taking off several mem bers from a single household. This occurs often with wells that are be lieved to be pure. When such a well becomes contaminated it not only threatens its Immediate neighborhood, but many other communities. We will suppose that such a well is used for the washing of cans and other utensils employed in the dairy. The milk Is sent in the cans to the creamery and the milk Is there mixed with milk from a hundred other farms. The skimmed milk is returned to the farm ers, and the cream is made up into butter to be sent into a thousand homes. In this way the disease germs are carried into the homes of the many. Disease breaks out and the physicians are utterly unable to trace it. It is called mysterious. The dairy is especially to be looked after for the reason that dairy prod ucts are consumed largely in an un cooked state. Dirt and carelessness in JLhe dairy are responsible for many of tLe ills endured both by the dairyman and the general public. Dirt in the Dilry. When Is a dairy clean? The safest answer to this question lies in describ ing when a dairy is dirty, and danger ously dirt-, too, says New York Farm er. When woodwork in the dairy gives off a smutty, musty, fusty acid, rank, and spoiled buttery smell, It 13 dirty. When tin vessels, such as pails, cans, dippers, cups and skimmers, aft er being "thoroughly washed," give off a sourish smell, or show dark lines cf matter in the folds and seams of the tin, they are dirty, and the dirt of just such a sort, and in just such places, as to encourage the bacteria in the air to drop down upon it, to crawl into it, to feed upon it, and to multiply in it until they swarm in it and are ready to launch themselves into the milk put into those vessels. When the windows, walls, floors and fixtures in the dairy are unpleasant to the smell when the room is warmed up. there is dirt pres ent, enough dirt to have an effect upon the flavor and other qualities of the hiilk and of the butter made from it. When a vessel, from which milk is re moved, shows a layer of black sedi ment in the bottom, smelling with un pleasant suggest iveuess of the barn yard, there is dirt, plain, straight, uc-mislnr-able dirt there, dirt that Is un pleasant to think of as a component part cf milk that Is to be used by hu mans as food. No dairy showing these things, in any degree, can really be called "clean" or decently clean, or healthfully clean. Hardly any other occupation on earth makes such do juands for cleanliness, and offers such difficulties in the work cf securing c!?an!incL-s. as the milk and butter and cheese industry. I'rotrntlne Tx:is Fevrr. The trials under direction of the Oklahoma Experiment Station, of dip plrfj cattlo in the oil preparation pre scribed by the United States De;v;rt recnt of Agriculture, showed that care- .,1 1?t;w t?tt11 ftnetrnt tll 1io i.Tt; A vaiylng poicrntase of the cattle had I their skin injured by the oil, with con- ; siderable irritation of the eyes. Where the cattle were driven considerable distance or exposed to storms soon after dipping, sonic of them died. The indications are that it is much safer to dip in warm rather than cold v;cather. In all catcs the cattle should hav; gcod care and feed for some days after d.ppir.g. Driving on d3ty roads Is a chief car.ee of injury to the eyes. rihe results of trials by the station oi inoculating northern cattle with bicod of southern cattle were unsatis factory. In most cases they contract ed southern or Texas fever, sometimes with fatal effects. The indications are thst the cattle recovering were at lea3t partially immune, but the apparent in ability to control results with our present knowledge makes it not advis able to recommend this method of preventing loss. Fa! Krports. From time to time our attention is called to some publication or some ar ticle in some paper recounting the im mense profits to be made in the poul try business by amateurs. One would suppose that the only thing necessary to great wealth would be to buy a few hundred eggs and get tbem hatched In some way. The rest would be easy. Not long ago we saw a book on how to make 500 in a single year from an investment of $12. The absurdity will be apparent to every poultry raiser. Yet there are people that arc gulled by such publications. It is easy enough to figure one's self rich by means of eggs. We have all read about the Oriental who became great by that means great in his imagination. He had a basket of eggs for sale in the market place. Lacking trade, he went to figuring on what he might do if he hatched the eggs. Every egg would produce a chick- every chick would lay so many eggs, every egg of the nsw product would produce another" chick, and soon the man owned millions of bens in his imagination. In fancy he became so great that he demanded ths daughter of the eultaa in mr.rr.agc. Then; said he: "When I have raarr;eii her I will show how great is my power and wlU kick her this way I" o say Ims ST rack a vigorous kick tkal ha hurled tka agga far from kte ui broke them all. Too often the dream of the amateur fall as completely. Un hatched chickens are not countable. Only by actual experience can sue cess be made in poultry raising. False reports are sent out only by people that expect to delude the Inexpe rienced. The raisins of chickens Is no easy matter, and making a profit from them Is about as hard as to make a profit from any other Investment The one great advantage possessed by the poultry business is that it does not re quire a large Investment of capital to begin with, and the capital Is soon turned over. Active Deasaad for Hardwood. "The hardwood trade Is really In a a ore satisfactory condition than that pertaining to tho soft woods," says the Northwestern Lumberman. -"There in not a weak spot in the market any where. Though the season Is near an end, and' consumers are inclined to re strict their purchases to necessities, there yet has been but little slacken ing of the urgent movement which has i haractcrized the trade all season. Dry ttock3 at the mills, north and south, have been sold off, even what would ordinarily be considered riff-raff hav ing been cleaned up. The demand this Mason has predominantly been for common and cull lumber, the call for firsts and seconds having been less than usual, except when lumber was required for export The greater de mand from all sorts of consumers has been for common lumber, that seem ing to have been as good stock as they required. This excessive demand has absorbed common oak faster than It' could be dried, with the result that there is a shortage all over the coun try. Thick ash has also been sold out to the extent of scarcity at the mills south, and at market points. Hack ash in the north has become almost an unknown market quantity, and the same can be said of Michigan soft elm. It is also said that the greater por tion of Wisconsin basswood has changed hands, and the demand for cull is in excess of the ready supply. Poplar has done better this season than for years, and the demand is still well maintained, while prices are firm at. 51.50 to $3 a thousand higher thai' a year ago." Large Florkw. There are but few, if any, very large flocks where 5G0 or 1,000 hens arc kept, says Philadelphia Record. Farmers are disposed to give the cow the preference, leaving poultry to the female members of the family, yet keeping cows involves more labor than is required for poultry, and fowls can be made more profitable in propor tion to capital Invested or required thali larger stock if farmers will give poultry special attention as a business, but all large stocks must be started on the farm with healthy and vigorous puro breeds, four or five years being necessary to have the flock to the full limit in number, for the reason that if they are purchased in large num bers the fowls must be procured from many different places and the result will be disease and lice. It is this starting with large numbers of pur chased birds that has caused so much disaster to enterprises of that char acter. The farmer who will gradual ly increase his flock until he has sev eral hundred, and who raises his young stock from selected parents, will have an opportunity for observa tion and deriving experience as his flocks grow. In the winter season, when so many farmers are aaxicus :o utilize their labor, the managerscr.: cf a large flock should be very remuner ative, and as the returns for ejeg and poultry are cash, and frcQueat. less capital will be required than same other enterprises. The fowls con tribute daily. Flavor la Rnttrr. There Is nothing more true than that the flavor that butter contains determines to a great extent the price the consumer is willing to pay for it, says Indiana Farmer. Strictly "gilt edge" farm butter or private dairy butter commands a good price and there are more would-be customers than can be supplied. Tweutv-five and thirty cents per pound for Butter of delicate aroma is a very common price, but the maker of just "ordi nary" butter never receives it. It Is true that the fine flavor of butter Is produced in many diffeient ways. And we would add, the poor flavor of but ter Is also produced in many different ways. Some of the causes arc beyond the housewife's ability to prevent. If, for instance, she ha3 been making sweet, desirable butter from cows fed on clean, sweet hay, oats and corn and other such articles of diet, she can not prevent the utterly distasteful flavor of her butter when those cows have been turned upon rye pasture and left to feed there day after day. If the has butter customers she is very spt to drop them. If she does not they wiil soon be excusing themselves from taking longer. Selection. What selection can do for a flock is shown by the experience of Wyck c., of New York state, who by select ing the best layers among his flock cf Leghorns for several years, got his whole flock of six hundred up to an average of one hundred and ninety-six f"S2 per hci a year, says Massachu setts Ploughman. This is au extreme ly high average for so many hens on one farm. It means better than an egg every other day for every hen the year round. Not only in spring and summer, but through the moulting season, through the dead of winter, and through the times when hens naturally take for sitting or for rais ing tbeir brood, even for a small flock, the record would be unusually good. No amount of care with ordinary fowls wculd make them do as well or. a large scale. Here is an object lesson which tends to show that breed ing and selection will yet do for hens v.at i.ue same agencies have done for other kinds of lire stock. Winter Care of Colts. Providing feed and shelter for tho colts during winter Jn order that they may continue to grow and be kept in thrifty, vigor ous condition will give them when grown so nsuch better' size, form and quality than the range grown horse possesses that it will prove a profitable Investment of labor, feed and money. Kut It has another ant! valuable ad vantage. The young stock that Is car ed for in this way becomes accustomed to tuo presence ci mail and to a certain amour:-: cf handling which will mal:e the tik.i;ble cf breaking them and the danger of injuring them while being broken much less than in the case of horses that have been raised entirely c;: tbe range.

CLEVER LITTLE STORIES. One of tke Chicago public school teachers says that she received this note from a boy's mother: "Please ex cuss William from school today, as he sat up late last night studying his lessons and Is too sleepy to come to day;- The reporter had Just come In from a murder case. It was a rainy day. and he had, to cross a plowed field on .foot "I see," observed the chief editor, look ing with much displeasure at his large and muddy boats, "you have brought the scene of the murder with you." "Yes," answered the reporter apologet ically, "I've got to have some ground for my story, you know." At a dinner party not long ago a cer tain young man (an enthusiastic golf er) started In with the shell fish to enu merate to his partner the details of a match that he had been playing that day. It was not until the pudding was brought on that he suddenly bethought himself that ho had been doing all the talking; Indeed, the young woman bad not said a single word during the en tire progress of the meal. "I am afraid that I have been boring you with thi3 talk of the shop," he said, in half apology. "Oh, no; not at all," was tha polite response. "Only, what Is golf?" San Francisco Wave. The following story of the old king of Hanover is told in the recently published "Foreign Court3 and Foreign Homes," by A. M. F.: "My father went to the door of the royal apartments (with some dis patches from London), knocked loudly once, twice. No answer. He knocked louder and louder. The door was open ed and a page came out, and Inside the king's voice wa3 heard using oath after oath, winding up by asking. 'What the devil do you want?' Tho pago, with a frightened look on hia face, took the dispatches, saying: 'His majesty was not to be disturbed, as he was saying his prayers?'
