The plain facts as nearly as can be judged in regard to the tempest in Cuba : The insurrection is maintaining itself against all the efforts of Gen Campos to arrest It's progress. There seems to be no doubt that the Spanish forces were very seriously crippled in the engage ment between Manzanillo and Bayamo. The fact is clearly attested by the cir. constance that after the, engagement the captain general, who had taken re-
 fuge with his troops in Bayamo, was obliged to sue the insurgent chief for the privilege of sending men to the field to remove his wounded. It speaks well for the humanity of the insurgents that the permission asked for was immediate. ly granted, and that the Spaniards not only were permitted to take away their wounded from the field, but were also allowed to remove those to whom the insurgents themselves had given hospital attention. Gen Campos is alleged to have been greatly pleased with the ac- ton of Macco, the insurgent leader, and by way of reciprocating his good offices. set at liberty all the political prisoners In one of the towns under Spanish con- trol.

Something of sensation has been caused in government circles at Wash ington by the report of an alleged shortage in the accounts of the Librarian of Congress Spohord. This MT Spofford denies, and claims his accounts are all right. A Washington correspondent in commenting on the case says: tFor 50 years he has carried his lunch to the library in little basket, and even while eating it has had work on the desk be- side his bread and butter and pickles. All this time he has lived modestly, and although appearing occasionally in society, he has never given dinners or in- dulged in any entertainments or pleas ures of an expensive sort. It is hard to see hog sgeh M n9R a GSgld St be Titnl hn. tSa his accounts are involved, but that he has not before this broken down under the self imposed strain"

PRICES FOR MILK.


 MT Editor So often have I been urged to make plain statement of what milk brings the farmer in cash per quart at my creamery at South BriGian that l have been led to believe brief state- ment of facts will interest the readers of THE BEE, so many of whom are ac- tive, up-to date dairymen. When it is remembered that the milk is bought by the Babcock method only or, in plainer English, paid for in proportion to it's quality and returned, directly after skimming, to the dairyman who brings it, the reader will not be surpris ed to learn that the price per quart of milk varies. The poorest milk being bought averages upwards of one and three quarter cents per quart, the average price per quart for all the patrons is slightly over two cents, and for the best is nearly two and three quarter cents per quart. In every case the skim milk is returned free, and is estimated by careful feeders worth at least one half cent per quart. 1 have sold quantities at this price and higher and had oppor- tunity to sell much more than I could get. 1 have found that farmers univer- sally object to selling the skim milk. They say, and very wisely too, "When we sell the milk we don't have anything left-no calves, no pork and no poultry and eggs" Milk grows all of these with wonderful naturalness. It will be observed that the price has been consid- erably higher than has been paid for | milk shipped away all summer. This is due to careful, old fashioned manage l ment and economy, to the production of | the finest grade of butter made, and to 8 carefully selected trade of fancy grocers and hotels, which enables us to use limited quantity of clean, nice milk at a 1 living price to the producer.-[Ho Hollister Sage.

As ad- vertised, there was no ''in bidding" and everything was sold at the price bid without reserve. It is the intention of Hawley 6G Go. to continue these sales at intervals, and if the public can give the time to attend, ,opportunities for bargains in many different and useful lines of goods may be expected.
