: PROBABLE WAR WITH SpA1N,@@It is said
thai negotiations between the United States
and Spain, on questions growing out of the
Virginius affair and other matters of controver-
sy Between the two countries, are not progress
ing favorably. That this condition of affairs is
fully appreoiatedsby both governments is clear
ly shown by the fact that Spain is concentra-
ting large force Of war vessels, in the West
Indies, and is also preparing TO reinforce T per
army in Cuba, and our government has decided
not TO send any more vessels Of war to foreign
stations, except the Brooklyn to the South
Atlantic station. Besides this, it isintended to
keep all iron-clads and other vessels now in
rendezvous in the Gulf in readiness for imme-
diate sea service. The forts on the Atlantic
seaboard are being quietly put in order. Large
quantities Of supplies are understood to Be
stored at Key West and other accessible points
on the Gulf coast. The English government
seems to be fully aware of the warlike condi-
ton Of affairs, and is concentrating an unusual
ly large fleet at jamaica = ~ ~

Salt and Chinch Bugs.

Il writer from Kansas to the Rural
says: "One man showed me two
pieces Of wheat, one of which was hard.
Iy worth cutting, while the other, right
alongside of it, was as good as could
be desired. lie said the only reason
he could give for it was that previous
tc sowing the latter piece he soaked
the seed in strong brine to get oats out
Of it, and as the bugs commenced
working at the roots they had been
kept off by the little saline matter that
adhered to the grain. Another man
said he had 5 acres Of spring wheat
that the bugs were working on very
badly, and thought be would risk
barrel OF salt on it at least lie SOW.
ed the salt broadcast over the ground,
and in a few days time not bug could
be seen, aud his wheat came on and
made great deal better crop by tho
application of the salt than it would
have made even though the bugs had
kept away. Other ideas were put into
execution, but with no good result.
l have said that | noticed the raw
ages Of the bugs everywhere l went.
but | will except the salt district Of
the smoky Hill Valley, where their
presence was hardly, if at all pcrcepti-
ble. Taking all these things into con-
sideration, it seems to me to be very
rational conclusion that salt will either
kill or drive the chinch bug away from
the crops on which-it is applied.

The question Of the influence of for

one that has been warmly discussed.
Some men Of science, Becqurel for cx-
ample, holds that the forests increase
the amount Of water received by tho

ish the quantity. Some savans, such
as N. Mathicu Subdirector Of the Nam
cy School Of Forestry, have eudcavor-

gether such facts as might be, if they
did not set the question at rest, at

Proceedings that NAV give the Trial of Inw-
renee Place in History.
The trial OF Charles l.. Lawrence, late
Secretary Of tho Americus Club, develops the
usual dilatory tactics of distinguished counsel
for the defence Of prisoners who can afford To
retain them. First, there was a demurrer to the
Indictment on general principles, but making no
noteworthy points. The demurrer was over
ruled by Judge Benedic', and the case was
nxed for tidal on the 18th inst. (wednesdav)
Counsel then raised question OF practice that
carried the case over till yesterday. Meanwhile
Lawrence had, un Ter advice of counsel, stood
mute when asked to say whether he was guilty
or not guilty OF the nine or ten charges egainst
him for conspiracy and smuggling. The prac-
tice under the New York code. which IS
obligatory upon United states courts, requires
that II "A prisoner Is ArriiHned ana " stands
mute'-thnf H., declines 10 say whether he T.
guilty or not-the court shall direct "A plea of
"unt guilty to be entered on the records of the
co lrt, and thereupon the trial shall proceed.
Counsellor Stoughton. for the defence, moved
the sinking out Of the i've pleas thus entered,
ana his motion was argued Yesterday. judge
Benedict adhered TO his former decision upon
the tochnica. questions raised, and denied the
counsel Tor the defence, Mr.. StouThton, seemed
10 rely upVn the fact that the prisoner WAS ex
tradited from Queenstown under charge Of
forgery. md he and hiS colleagues assert tlnt
he cnn legally be tried for nothing hut the Of
fence charged in the extrafition papers.
Gen. II. f. Tracy, who u also retained for the
defence OF Lawrence, made another point. lie
wanted Two Judges to preside al the tfiil. To
give time for consulting Judge johnson, the
trial was postponed until Tuesday next.
