The Itata's mysterious appearance in the har-
bour at San Diego. Cal, attracted the atten-
ton of the authorities, and she was seized by
United States Marshal Gard on May 5 for hav-

the Marshal ashore. She secured her cargo of
arms from the schooner Robert and Minnie off
the coast, and pushed on for Iquique.
The story of the pursuit by the gallant
Charleston and its final peaceful giving up to
the American authorities is Of too recent date
to require rehearsal here. In connection with
it it may be noted that the Mail and Express
scored repeated "beats" in special news from
Mexico and Chile regarding the long stern
chase, Although the Itata was given up, it is
almost beyond doubt that she landed some arms
at a point below Iquique.
NEWS FROM BALMACEDAN SOURCES.
The tide of battle has ebbed and flowed
since that time. Most contradictory reports
of the state of affairs have been sent out. Most
of the news has been from Balmacedan sources,
and has reported victories for him. Private
correspondence from time to time in this city
has indicated that all reports of the widespread
character of the revolution were much exag-
gerated. Until the recent m~anouvres around
Valparaiso the opposing land forces have really
not had a good opportunity to measure their
respective strengths.
The result at Valparaiso, however, will set
tie without doubt the great struggle. Both
armies concentrated there some time ago, and
Gen, Canto, leading the insurgent forces, secur-
ed a commanding position on the hills back of
the city. Balmaceda, on the other hand, was
strongly intrenched, and the battle between the
armies was long and fierce. 1t is to be hoped
for the comfort Of Chile itself, as well as for
that of other countries which have close COM
mercial relations with her, that the end has
come.

SATURATION BETWEEN TIE MILLS.

While sugar house repairs are now in or
der, every one trying to do good work should
make arrangements for saturating the
bagasse between the first and second mills
with water. This can be so easily done that
every double mill in the state should be
supplied with such a device, and them ii may
be used or left unused as circumstances may
determine. Mr.. Alexander Young, in OBJ
tanning his 289 pounds of sugar per ton of
cane at Waiakea, so saturated the bagaSse
that the dilutiOn of the can Juice exceeded
the ordinary dilution of diffusion juice, but

Therefore, there might be extensive satura-

ed under.
Experience has shown in Louisiana that
there are no other means Ivy which as Ger.
tain results in sugar cane can he obtained as
by fall pIoughing, and ~plon@hing under field
peas. The pea crop Is to Louisiana what
the clover crop is to the wheat fields of the
northern states. Without the clover crop
the wheat industry would become unprofta.
BILE and the sooner we learn hat without the
pea crop our sugar cane industry is of very
doubtful profit, the bettcrit will be for us.
All recent experiences in the fall planting
of sugar cane indicate that that " hich is
planted early and comes mp in the fall is the
most certain of producing u good crop the
following year, unless III" fan growth is so
large as to he severely i%liurpi by the winter
freezes. This latter die culty, however, is
very easily avoided Ivy covering up the
Young canes by additiOnal burrows in NOvem-
Der and December.
In order to get pea land into good condi-
ton for early planting, fall plOughing should
begin in August, this giving some FIVE or six
weeks for the land TO get into good cOndi-

If a large amount of fall planting be done,
the beginning of the grinding season may

ing finished or largely done one of the chief
injuries of a delayed grinding season is avoid

preparations for spring planting.
The destinies of our state seem now to

proper for Louisiana sugar planters at this

efforts, effect the development in the sugar

COMBATING INSECTS WITH DISEASE.

A few weeks ago we published an article in
reference to de stroying chinch bugs in sor-
ghum fields by introducing insects infected
with contagious disease. By the kindness
Of Mr.. NJ. B. Clement, of Sterling, Kan, we
have received a small bundle of forage stuff
having many dead bugs attached to the leaves,
where they died from the effects of contagious
disease intentionally produced.
In this cas- 9, as we are informed, myriads of
chinch bugs Matched in a wheat field, and as
soon as they were, able to move about, migra-
ted to the adjoining com and cane fields,
literally covering the plants and destroying
them, row by row, as they advanced. A few
chinch bugs which had been exposed for "a
hours to infection, by being put into Jar con-
tanning diseased chinch bugs, were scattered
among the destroying insects.
In five days after the introduction of the
contagious disease, the destruction of the
crop ceased, the myriads of moving insects
were m%otionless and it was difficult to find any
living chinch bugs in the field.
AS chinch bugs sometimes iniure sorghum.
by invasion in countless numbers from the
wheat fields, where they principally breed, it is
a matter of interest to sorghum growers to
know whether there are any practically means
of preventing the losses caused by these insects.
dld tulo 1Opoon ACp0db6u experiments nave
been made this season in this line at the Ster-
ling Sorghum Experiment Station.
When young, the chinoh bugs migrate on
foot in countless numbers. When winged, they
fly. Having double means of locomotion there
appears to be no way to bar their entrance into
a field Of cane, It appear s to be impossi-
BILE to poison these insects in a wholesale wav.
They live through the coolest winters, they
thrive most in the hottest and dryest summers.
They find a home in the foot stalks, or the
funnel shaped parts of the sorghum leaves
which e~neircle the canes and suck the sweet
sap of the cane A very moderate estimate of
the loss caused by chinch bugs in Kansas for
a single year is S II for each man, woman and
childin the state.
The Legislature of Kansas appropriated
several thousand dollars to be expended, under
directions Of Prof. Snow, in. cultivating and
spreading contagious chinch bug diseases. In
fected bugs have been sent by thousands all
over the states of Kansas, and the evidence
which is now accumulating seems to point very
strongly to the welcome fact that the losses
caused by chinch bugs may be greatly reduced
by cultivating contagious chinch bug diseases,
end by causing infected insects to spread the
disease. Prof. Galloway, of w Washington, is
now propagating myriads of germs Of a disease
which is deadly to the caterpillars. 1t is said

Good Crops and State Revenues.

Baton Rouge Advocate.
The New Delta cites the bountiful
sugar crop of 1890 as proof of the pros
perlty OF the State. 1t is true that the
sugar yield was almost unprecedented,
but prices were low, and the results,
though satisfactory. not much more re-
muneralye than in average seasons at
better prices. The rice crop, also, was
fairly good, and sold at paying prices.
The cotton crop was short, and after
the opening OF the season sold low
down. The corn crop was still shorter,
and many farmers will have to buy
bread and feed for their teams out of
the proceeds of their other crops. But
suppose all these crops had been as good
as the New Delta pretends-what then
The people, it Is true, would have been
more prosperous, but their prosperity
revenues of the State, except perhaps
in reducing the delinquent tax lists a
few thousand dollars. What the State
needs is revenue, and the squirt of a
single good crop or even a series of good
crops will add little or nothing to it.
There Is no wisdom in talking around
and around this question. The reve-
nues OF the State are meagre and insult
tclent; we feel it in every direction,
from the dccadence of the public school
system, the weakness of our levees, the
lack OF means to care for the insane and
other dependents, down to the painting
OF the State House, repairing the
grounds or mending broken panel of
the fence that surrounds it. Citizens
who 90 not want to accept additional
revenue from what seems to be at pres
ent the only available source have
the indisputable right to reject it,
for whatever reasons may seem salts
factory to them, but it is dishonest to
deceive them by all sorts of subterfuges
and evasions. or to set up pretences that
some intangible good luck is going to
fill the State Treasury with enough
money for all the needs of the public
service: There is no place for folly or
fanaticism in dealing with such ques-
tons, and still less for dishonesty. Let
the people understand the issue, and
then decide itas they think best, and the
verdict will be cheerfuIly accepted by
all.
