STEAMER BERMUDA RETURNED.
NARROWLY ESCAPED CAPTURE
BY A SPANISH GUNBOAT.
A Part of Her Crew Cut Off and
They Were Probably Cap
tured and Shot.

PHILADELPHIA, May 31.-All con-
lecture regarding the whereabouts of
the now famous filfbustering steamer
Bermuda were set at rest to-day when
she steamed up the Delaware River and
made fast to her pier. She came from
Puerto Cortez, Honduras, and instead
OF arms and ammunition her cargo con-
sisted of S,400 punches of bananas and
5000 liver dollars. The silver was
taken out to buy fruit, but the strike
among the fruit cutters made 1t impos-
sible to secure a full cargo The at
tempt to land her outward cargo and
passengers on Cuban soil was a fiat
failure, and the escape of the vessel
from destruction by Spanish shells was
little short of providential.
The Bermuda sailed from Philadel-
pEia on April 24th, in command of Cap
tain OBrien for Jacksonville. She
sailed from the latter port on April 26th
in command of Captain Riley, who sue
ceeded O'Brien. The expedition was
made up Of ninety-six men from Key
West, Tampa and Philadelphia, in COM
mand Of General Vidal, a soldier of the
former revolution and a native of San
tiago de Cuba The cargo consisted of
two Calling guns, LOCO rifles, 500 900
rounds of ammunition and 900 pounds
Of dynamite.
An attempt was made under General
Vidal's order to land on the night Of
May 4th at a point on the coast of Cuba,
ten miles west of Cardenas. A Spanish
gunbOat was seen early in the evening,
but it was thought she did not notice
the Bermuda, and eight boats with
fcrty-nine men were in the water about
one and one-half miles from the coast
when the searchlight from an approach
ing cruiser was flashed over the entire
party. All hands were instantly in a
state of hopeless decentralization and a
desperate attempt to get back to the
steamer was made. Only a few, how
ever, reached the Bermuda, which was
started at once at full speed. She had
only run about eight miles when a sec
end gunboat started in pursuit, which
was kept up until daylight. There were
repeated flashes and roars of the guns
on the Spanish gunboat. Solid shot
and bursting shell fell thick and fast
until the distance between the vessels
increased. the Bermuda being forced
to her utmost speed, and when day
dawned the gunboat could not be seen.
Two days later the steamer arrived at
Truxillo. the balance of the material
having been thrown overheard during
the race Five Of the party were
drowned in attempting to make the
| landing, the fate of the others is not
known, but it is believed the greater
number were caught on the coast and
probably shot by the Spaniards. AT
least twenty-threa of the party are
missing. The other passengers were
landed on the coast OF Honduras and
afterward Mobile, Ala, on the steamer
Clearwater. The fate OF Dr. Emilio Ca
badez is unknown. but ne is believed
to have been among those lost

About Kadlr Corn.

Prof. GeOrgeSOn Of the State Agri-
cultural College has issued Ksffir corn
bulletin, from which the following in
formation Is taken:
"Like all other crops, Ksffir corn
yields best on rich land. 1t responds
we'll to generous treatment. It's cul-
ture, however, Is not limited to soils
of certain classes and qualities. It
may be grown on stiff Clays and on light
sand, In river bottoms and on poor up
lands, and 1t will yield profitable re-
turns on soil too for poor corn.
"PerhapS the strongest recommends.
tiOn Of Kafir corn lies In the fact that
1t will produce crop on less rain than
is required for corn, and that 1t is not
affected so disaUtrously by hot winds.
1t Is, therefore. especially adapted to
the semi-arid West, where corn sue
ceeds only once In five or six years be-.
cause Of hot winds and drought. 1t is
owing chiefly to this quality that It's
culture has spread so rapidly in Kan.
sas and Oklahoma. Hot winds are the
main cause Of the failure of the corn
crop In this region, and they are never
more destructive than when they hap
pen to come when the corn is tassellng.
They cause the pollen to dry up, and
the silk is not fertillzed. Even with a
sufficient rainfall, q few days of these
whitening blasts from the southwest, In
tasseling time, may reduce the yield of
corn 30 per cent. Ksffir corn is not
affected in the same way. Fertiliza.
tion takes place more readily and the
whole plant is better adapted to stand
dry weather. The leaves are thicker
and coarser than. corn leaves, and do
not dry out 30 readily; they are closer

together and partly protect each other,
and the plant is not 30 tall and, there
fore, not so much exposed. When
corn has once been Stunted by drought
or hot winds, it never RECEIVERS. Not
80 with KSfir corn. 1t may remain
stationary and curled for days and
even weeks, but when the hot winds
cease and rains come it will revive and,
Ii not too late In the season, will still
produce crop of grain.
"While it can be grown to perfec-
tiOn Ia southern and middle latitudes,
the northern limit of It's successful
culture Is as yet not we'll defined. In
tests at the Ontario Agricultural Col
lege, the season appeared to be too
short for the grain to mature. Henry
does not consider IL suited to Wiscon.
sin. The Michigan station regards 1t
Ss inferior to corn for forage. Posi-
bly further trial may cause q revision
OF these opinions, but it will, never
theless, be wiaest for the farmers in
the northern tier of States to grow it
at first only on small scale.
"The soil should be prepared as for
corn. Plow and harrow to bring the
soil to q fine tilth. If it has been sub
soiled the previous fall, all the better.
If the surface Is rough, it should be
worked with pulverizer till reduced.
An even, mellow surface facilitates
cultivation. The young plants are
feeble and Of slow growth during the
first six weeks, and q rough, uneven
surface cannot be worked without COW
ering them up.
Seeding takes place, according to
the latitude, from the middle of
March in the South to the beginning
of June In the North. At the Kansas
station the seed is usually put in the
ground about the middle of May.
There is nothing gained by seeding be.
fore the soil is warm. A good rule to
follow is to seed as soon as corn plant
ing is finished"
The advocate., 1896-06-03

the ponds, else there may be large loss
from seepage.
The writer strongly advocates the
building Of ponds for storing water on
Oklahoma farms. He is not able TO
agree with those who believe thla
would greatly increase the rainfall,
although he believes It might have an
appreciable effect in this direction. In
many cases this pond water may be
wisely used In irrigation work. In
many more cases such water may be
the most convenient supply for farm
stock and a safeguard against trouble
and loss In times of drought.
Successful irrigation is an art to be
learned by experience, observation,
trial, even when the water supply is
abundant. This Ia an additional reason
for heartily commencing the advice
given in the report of the delegates to
the Irrigation Congress, published as
q part of this bulletin, that the first
efforts be made on a small scale. In
many cases, however, it will be wise
TO procure Q larger WINDMILL than is
needaaR or thought to be needed, for
the experimental work, thus saving
the necessity Of purchasing a larger
one when 1t is proposed to extend the
irrigation work.
Some possible dangers and mistakes
have been pointed out, not to dlscour-
age trials Of irrigation, but to prevent
losees from unwise attempts. The
writer would strongly encourage farm
ers In the valleys Of rivers or streams
of Oklahoma, water from which can
be diverted or damned without too
great cost, or who know they can get
q large supply from wells, or who
can collect pond water in sufficient
quantity, to make trial Of irrigation,
commencing with q garden or small
orchard. He Is strongly urges all
farmers to do what they can to help
the soil take and hold the largest guam
tity Of the rains sent by nature, and to
so cultivate that as little as possible of
this may be wasted.
