ON THE BRINK OF WAR.
Weyler Rescinds an Order to Sink
an American Ship-Was
Dared to Shoot.

New Orleans, La, Oct. 20.-The
Times-Democrat's Key West special
says: eff the Spanish authorities had
taken Senior Angel Fernandez off the
Ward line steamer Vigilancia, while that
vessel was in Havana harbor, last Fri
day, United States warships would have
been Immediately ordered to Havana to
enforce demand for reparation, and
war between this country and Spain
would have undoubtedly resulted. For
three hours last Friday the United States
and Spain were on the brink of war, and
the threatening situation was only re-
lieved when the Spanish authorities ig-
ANONYMOUSLY backed down and allowed
the Vigilancia to proceed to sea with
Fernandez still on board. A letter re-
ceived here from correspondent in Ha-
vana, who is close to Consul-General
Lee, gives a dramatic account of the
episode. According to the letter, when
the Vigilancia put into Havana,
the Spanish authorities demanded
the surrender of Senior Angel Fer
nandez a Mexican, on board the ves-
sell The Spaniards alleged that Fernan-
DEE was not Mexican, but subject of
Spain Capt. John Mcintosh of the Vigi-
lancia refused to surrender Fernandez.
Then the Spanish authorities told Nc
Intosh that if the Vigilancia attempted
to go to sea with Fernandez on board
she would be sunk by the guns of Moro
castle. Capt. Mcintosh Immediately laid
the matter before Consul-General Lee,
who complimented the captain on his
bravery, and told him TO take the Vigi-
lancia to sea when he pleased. Consul
Lee was greatly enraged at the threat
to sink the Vigilancia and is reported to
have said to Capt. Mcintosh: If the
guns of Moro castle sink your ship Amer
lean warships will be bombarding Ha-
vana in a few days.

A Catch of Glover.

One Of the worst results of the past
two dry seasons in the northwestern
states is the failure to get catch Of
clover, the loss of which will be seri-
,ously felt in the future. AS temporary
substitute many Wisconsin farmers will
SOW oats and peas, both for hay and for
the grain, hoping in this way to get feed
rich in muscle makers. A good deal of
land will be sowed this spring with
clover seed alone. If sowed early, on
land free from weeds, it is pretty sure
to grow and produce partial crop the
first year, according to The Rural New
Yorker, which tells that one farmer re-
ports that clover sown in this way last
year bloomed in 80 days and stood Is
inches high. "This is, at best, but a
makeshift, for in that part of the coun-
try at least winter grain-preferabl
wheat - is best to nurse the clover
plant /"

Application of Water by Furrows-The
Redlands System.
The scientific tide of irrigation is to
be studied rather in connection with the
culture Of fruit and vegetables than
with field crops, writes William E.
Smythe in his illustrated article on the
ways and means in Arid American and
recently published in The Century Mag
sazine. He says:
California has accomplished more
than any other locality, and there, in
late years, the application of water by
burrows has been brought to a marvel
sous degree of perfection. What is
known as the redlands system is the
best type Of irrigation methods known
in the world. Under this system small
wooden fume or box is placed at the
head of the orchard. An opening is
made opposite each furrow, and through
this the water flows in the desired
quantity, being operated by small
gate or slide. The aperture regulates

The Cambridge men lived on an

average age of the Cambridge men
on the day of the race is increased,

In some states extensive growers of
,cucumbers, melons, ETC., practice start
ing their plants in frames or hotbeds
in order to give them chance to get
well under way before being exposed to
the attacks of the beetle. Others protect
the hills by covering them with screens
or netting of some kind so as to keep
the beetles away from the young vines.
In New York station bulletin it is adj
vised, as soon as the vines are uncover
ed, however, they should be sprayed
with either london purple or paris
green, using 1 pound of the poison to
about 100 to 200 gallons of water, with
the addition of pounds of fresh slaked
lime. If it is preferred, the poison may
be applied dry, being mixed with plas-
ter, air slaked lime or -four at the rate
of 1 part by weight of the poison to
about 90 parts Of plaster or other sub
stance used. In cases where the insects
continue to appear in unusual numbers
the application of the poison should be
repeated several times. Much pains
ought to be taken and the work done
thoroughly. Tobacco dust, when applied
literally and persistently ON the hills
and vines, has been found effective in
keeping the beetles away. Air slaked
lime, also is recommended and sh ould
be applied in the same manner as the
tobacco dust
