Subject Discussed at the Meeting of
the horticultural Board.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 1.-The State
Board OF Horticulture held "a special
meeting in its rooms on Sutter street
this afternoon. The subject under dis
cussion was the sale of Californa prunes
and dried fruits.
1t was the endeavor of the speakers to
show that the grower was not getting the
benefit of the demand for his fruit.
Dealers in San Francisco seem inclined
to palm the California prune of for the
French product.
Professor Allen reported on the exhibit
ton OF dried fruits as given at the recent
Pure Food Exposition. The Professor
selling California dried prunes for the
French article, and obtaining prices
ranging from eighteen to twenty-five
cents per pound.
Mr.. Mosier of the board said that he
had just returned from trip to the East,
and that he had failed to note any partic-
ular locality where California dried fruits
were sold. He thought that producers
ought TO try TO get their fruits into the
Eastern market.
After the subject of dried fruits had
been discussed, the question of giving an
exhibit at the Atlanta Exposition was
brought up.
There not being a very large attend
ance OF members, 1t was decided to pass
the matter over until the next meeting.
The board then adjourned.

DIFFICULT TO GET AT THE TRUE STATE
OF AFFAIRS.
FORT TAMPA (Ela.), March 1.-Between
the persistent efforts of the Spanish au-
thorities to belittle the present movement
for 'free Cuba" and the disposition of
the Cuban patriots and their sympa-
thiZers to eXaggerate, it is difficult to get
at the true state of affairs on the island,
The Mascotte, from Havana, brought
copies OF Et PaiS, La Luchd, La DiScuS-
sion and other dailies of Tuesday and
Wednesday. Of these La LUch0 is by
far the most liberal and has the strong
est leaning toward the cause of the revo-
lutionists.
In this paper is special from Matan-
zas, dated Tuesday, which says that on
that day squad OF Cuban revolutionists,
numbering fifty men, some OF them
mounted, was engaged in fight with
the Spanish soldiers stationed at Bena-
vidis.
One soldier and one policeman were
Killed and several other Spaniards
wounded. The insurgents escaped with
only few scratches and were still under
arms at Benavidis.
The latest reliable reports from the sea-
port OF Guantanamo, on the eastern
shore of the island, are that the uprising
there is by no means suppressed. Fully
1UO lnsurgent troops are still under arms
ana over half of them are mounted.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The House is

two tailed to receive the necessary two

tute for Dingley's bill to authorize the

The attempt to pass the Senate bill to
impose penalties upon corporations and
railroad companies for violation of the

that the Senate would attach the pooling
bill as rider. So effective was this al
legged exposure that, although the bill
itself was given nothing but commenda-
ton on the floor, it was defeated.

boarding it he settled himself in a seat
for few moments of meditation.
Shortly after the train pulled out he
discovered that he was on q north and
not south bound train as desired, but
the rate Of speed was then too high for
him to attempt to Jump off. Two miles
up the road this train ran into Switc h
to allow the south bound to pass. This
was the train Myers wanted to board, so
he went over to the track, hoping that
if would slow down sufficiently for hi m
