The upper San Juan valley is what
is known as all that part Of the San
Juan valley lying above the mouth OF
Canon Largo commencing at Canon
Largo. The first thing tnat is brought
to one's notice is a ditch taken out of
the San Juan river about four miles
mp the river and directly under the
bluff, watering some five or six
ranches in narrow valley between
the bluff and the river. This ditch is
about completed as tar as Largo canon
and by some work in clearing up the
land, few fine small ranches will be
brought into cultivation.
On tie north side of the river are
some fine ranches under ditch and
produce with proper cultivation enor-
nous crops, such as alfalfa, corn,
wheat, oats and barley and all kinds
Of vegetables and fruits. The fruit
orchards are as yet in their infancy,
owing to neglect, and poverty of the
owners of the land to get the trees
and have them planted out in good
order
The farther up the river you go the
finer the ranches and larger, until you
get opposite Alcatraz, there the table
lands run to the river. Opposite this
and from Alcatraz up for several
miles is another fine body of land, but
is only farmed in patches on up to
Pine river on the north and Guonador
canon, on the sides Of the river a dis
lance of some 20 miles from Canon
Largo are ranches settled by Mexicans
and could be made to support four
times az many inhabitants as it does
now. By proper care, more work and
smaller farms, as it has been demon
strated that here with 40 acres of good
land under a good ditch, is all one
family wants to care for properly and
can make more out of it and better
living than with more land. SO far
the markets are here at home.
Alfalfa hay is selling at for from So
to 81 per ton on the ranch, fruit this
year has been selling from to cents

Havana, Jan. IA report has just been
received that the railroad station and
railroad bridge at Vovea have been burn
eb by the insurgents. Govea is on the
railroad south from Havana, and south
Of Rejucal. In this immediate neighbor-
hood an engagement is said TO have TAX
en- place this afternoon between General
Linarez and the insurgents.
The insurr cdon is increasing in i'm
portance every day. Practically the whole
interior OF the island. from east to west,
With the exception of the large towns,
is in the possession of the insurgents. who
have burned everything combustible and
have levied tribute right and left. under
the very noses of the Spanish command
ers, and cutting down the revenue of the
Spanish government from Cuban sources
about 80 per cent. The insurgents are
not acting hastily in any way. They
have plenty of time before them and in
tend to make the most of it. They have
a central government established at Her
mosa, in the province of Puerto Prin-
cipe Their forces are organized in eS-
cellent military style; they have regular
army workshops; hospitals in addition to
field hospitals: depots of provisions and
ammunition, etc. Their cavalry is vast
" superior both in number and quality
TO that Of the Spaniards.
Confirmation has been received from
the Eastern provinces that the leaders,
Rabi Jose Maceo, Rivero and others, at
the head of strong forces of insurgents,
from the provinces of Puerto Principe,
believed to be much better armed than
any previous forces, and to have been
reinforced by filibustering expeditions,
containing numbers of Americans, are
moving eastward, apparently with the
intention of reinforcing the insurgents
now operating in the immediate neighbor-
hood Of Havana.

THE PENSION BILL.

Washington. Jan. 1.-THE house today
spent most Of the time In a debate on
the pension bill. Hemingway predicted
that in November next the people would
elect a Republican president who would
appoint a loyal man from the North as
secretary Of the interior. to administer
the pension laws with justness and fair
ness to old soldiers
The speech by Walker, Republican, OF
Virginia. attracted more than usual at
tention. Walker was a general in the
Confederate army on the stan Of General
Jubal Early. He replied particularly to
the remark OF Hemingway. TO the effect
that when a Republican president again
took his place In the white House, no
man from the South would preside over
the pension office. Walker declared
there was a misapprehension Of feeling
and sentiment Of the Southern people
and Southern soldiers towards pensions
for men who fought for the Union. There
was no sentiment against the pension
policy Of the government in the South.
and he assured his Plpublican friends OF
the North that the 4, unes Ind pensions
OF Union soldiers wovhd be safe in the
hands Of soldiers Of the South. His re-
ntarks elected much applause from both
sides.
