SPANISH OUTRAGES.
Spain Claims the Right to Fire on Sus-
piciouS Vessels

Opaiu CidiIIlS Iu6 f6lSQC TO FIRE on SuS-
picious Vessels.
NEW York, July 21-A Washington spec
lal states that a despatch received from Minis
ter Fairchild removes all doubts as to Ameri-
can vessels being fired on by Spanish naval
vessels. The Spanish authorities, while dis
avowing the act, claim that they have the
right to fire upon suspicious vessels whether
carrying the American flag or not, within
three marine leagues of the Cuban coast
One despatch says that Rear Admiral Am
men, commander of the North American
squadron, has been ordered to Havana with
out delay, to ascertain and report upon the
facts connected with the detention of the Mer-
rift aud Newcombe.
WASHINGTON, July 21.-The vessel which
recently fired upon the American schooners in
Cuban waters was the Canto, small screw
steamer of the Spanish navy. No formal pre-
sentation of the case will be made to the Span
ish government until the report of Admiral
Wyman, who was yesterday ordered with the
Tennessee to Havana has been received.
1t is expected tnat the Spanish authorities
will submit in justification the claim they have
always made of their right to fire upon or de-
tain suspicious vessels within two marine
leagues of their shores. AS our government
has always resisted this claim there is reason
to suppose no departure will be made in the
present case from its usual policy.

Raising Field Beans.

AT recent meeting of the Ontario
Agricultural Commission, held at Chat
ham, Mr.. P. j. McKindley gave his ex-
perience in bean culture: He said that
this was peculiarly the bean-growipg
district of Canada, and the area of bean
culture was limited even within the dis
trict. Beans succeeded best on sandy
loan with clay subsoil, or on gravely
loan with porous subsoil, and the land
must be well drained; the best mode of
preparing the land was to pillow in the
fall, harrow in the spring, and perhaps
roll down and cultivate with a gang
plow; the oftener it was narrowed and
cultivated the less trouble would there
be with weeds; the best time to plant
was from the 9th to the 10th of June,
thus allowing the weeds to start their
growth, so that they were killed before
the crop was sown; beans were some
times grown successive years on the same
land, but the practice was bad one !;
thirty bushels per acre was good aver
age yield, and the price was about 81 %
per bushel; blowing sod in the fall or
spring for beans was the next best thing
W suiuLutr ldllOWluS 1OI 1dil WucdL, anu
they got the two crops for about the la
Dor Of one; the total cost of planting
beans per acre would be about S14 !;
the principal market for them was the
United States, though our own lumber
men used a good many, the medium
sized bean was more profitable than
either the small variety or the marrow
fat; the bean crop was not considered
any more exhaustive than barley or
wheat; they had no machines for cut
ting two rows of beans at time, and
they were left in small punches; the
threshing was often done with fail,
but the concave of the common thresh-
ing machine could be adjusted to thresh
them; the straw made excellent food for
sheep; the bean did not suffer from in
sects or disease to any extent, but some
times the blossom would blight if the
weather was very hot; late beans pro-
duced the heaviest crops, but there was
a good deal of risk in harvesting them,
and they had often to be hand-picked.
