Spanish Barbarity.

HAVANA. March 31.-Never in mod
ern times has there been a more sick
ening spectacle than that which to day
attended the execution of five Cubans.
The men had been condemned to death
by the garrote as 'murderers, viola
tors and incendiaries. Troops were
drawn up in hollow square and in
the middle were placed the chair and
post Ruiz, the public executioner,
had deputized an assistant to conduct
the affair The condemned men hav-
ing received the Offices of the church,
were brought into the square to meet
their fate. One of them had confessed
his guilt and affirmed the innocence OF
all the others whe also protested that
they were guiltless. The first man to
die took his seat in the chair calmly,
the iron core was fixed about his neck
and the cap drawn over his face.
Then the executioner undertook to
apply the screw, but was so excited
that his hand slipped repeatedly, with
the result that that the victim died by
slow strangulation, emitting the while
the most distressing cries. The second
execution was accomplished with even
more distressing awkwardness and de-
lay, the executioner being almost on
the verge of collapse as he performed
his horrible function. The protests of
the officers and priests forced Ruiz to
undertake the third execution, but he
did little better than his assistant had
done. The fourth victim of bungiing
garroters was likewise tortured and
then Ruiz literally fled from his post,
leaving his assistants to put to death
the fifth unfortunate Cuban, who es
capped none Of the agonizing experien-
ces that had attended the execution Of
his fellows. The whole affair has left
upon those who witnessed it and upon
those to whom it has been described, a
feeling of the utmost horror.

Fleeing from Eiends.

HAsANA, April l, via Tampa. Fla,
April 2.-Jose Ramon del Vale, a
Spaniard who has been alcalde for
some time of the important town of
Jovellanos, Matanzas province, has
resigned his position and brought his
family here. he sails for Mexico to-
morrow. He states as reason that
he can no longer stand the e1cesses
committed by Spanish troops. Senor
del Vale IS man of culture and in
telligence, and has no leaning toward
the insurgents. His testimony is,
therefore, un biased. He says:
Spanish troops are killing innocent
people right and left. The people OF
Habana have no idea what atrocities
are being committed In many parts
OF the island the troops pillage stores,
residences and estates and kill unarm-
ed men, Unquestionably they are
more to be feared than the insurgents.
There is no safety for life or property
outside of the cities and large towns.
While Colonel Vicuna's column was
ct Jovellanos, three weeks ago, they
met three men on the outskirts, com.
ing cward the town on the main high
way. The men were unarmed. They
were halted and asked for their papers.
They had none, and were Immediately
shot. Colonel Vicuna reported this
officially as victory over party OF
insurgents in which the enemy had
three dead and the troops no losses
Ten days ago detachment of mounted
guerillas, under Lieutenant Paula
while foraging near Jovellanos came
upon ten laborers at work in field.
The laborers shouted Viva Espana,
as the troops approached, but the lat

laborers, who threw themselves on
their faces on the ground, buta china

NEW YORK COTTON EXCHANGE
Proposition 10 Amend Bylaws TO Estab-
lish Clearing House.

NEW YORK, Jan. 20. - The managers OF
the New York Cotton Exchange have
prepared for submission to members GER
tain proposed amendments to the by
laws OF tho exchange providing for the
establishment OF a clearing house for
balances. The plan does not differ ma
terially from that submitted about two
years ago, except that provision has been
made for Saturday clearings, the absence
OF which was the fatal objection to the
previous plan.
The proposition OF the managers is that
the Corn Exchange Bank be named as
the Clearing House Bank ard that the
entire clearing machinery be placed under
the control of that hank. The bank, II
the plan be adopted by the members, will
make a charge OF two cents on each
item cleared and will be given an Office
in the Cotton Exchange building in
which the various conyenienccs to do
the business oxpeditiously win be placed.

Celery Culture.

The distance to plant the rows is three
or four feet, according to the variety,
putting the plants five or six inches
apart in the row. Have the soil mellow
and deep; stretch line and use dibber
for planting. The surface of the land
should be even and level, Cut off the
tips of the roots; if they are quite long
one-third of them can be cut off TO ad-
vantage. Cut the leaves back about the
same proportion. Place the plant into
the hole made by the dibber, and press
the ground about it firmly. Mr.. T.
Greiner says: eff you want to know if
your work is done quite right, take a
good hold of the leaves and pull If the
plant comes out of the ground, it was
not set firmly enough; if the leaf breaks
without loosening the plant, all is
right"
In our sandy loan we have to be a
little more moderate, but the soil must
be pressed firmly to the plant. In set
ting out put the bud even with the sur
face Of the ground. The work OF setting
out can be facilitated by cutting the
roots and leaves to the proper size be-
fore taking to the field. A strong boy
may be employed to hand the plants out
in good shape to the one doing the set
ting out
After setting, the plants must be
watered, unless the setting out is done
Immediately after rain. After water.
ing, as soon as the water has soaked
into the ground, rake thin layer of
soil over the moist earth. If it is after
rain, work the ground lightly to give
some loose soil on top. These direc-
tions, if followed out, will do much to
conserve the moisture of the soil.
A few days before transplanting the
plants should be hardened off to lessen
the shock of transplantlng. After hav-
ing set the plants out they should be
shaded to aCcustom them to the field
gradually. The best device for this is
an eight or ten-inch board placed OBJ
liquely over the row. The board is Sc
cured by stakes, which are driven on
the south side of the row and slanting
toward the north; by leaning board
against these the plant will stand in the
shade during the hotter portion of the
day, and be exposed to the sun in the
evening and the morning.-Southern

Farming VS.. Planting.

Discussing the agricultural situation
i'll the south. Prof. w. f. Massey makes
the following forcible presentation of
truth which must sooner or later, be
recognized by every intelligent south
erner:
1t is a noticeable fact that few north
ern men coming south to farm, want to
grow cotton. They have heard so much
about the ruinous nature of the crop to
the southern lands that they seem to fear
it, and assume that good farming and
cotton growing cannot 60 together. The
truth is, that cotton is the least exhaus-
tive crop grown in the country, If only
the lint is sold, since this comes almost
entirely from the air. 1t is not the cot
ton, but the way in which the crop has
been produced, that has exhausted the
cotton fields. Any other crop which re-
quires such clean culture would have
exhausted the land far faster. 1t Is the
long practice of allowing nothing but
cotton to grow GA the land, year after
year, that has wrought the mischief
The only wonder is that the soil has
stood SO much hard treatment. A few
years ago no farmer in the south would
admit that cotton could be grown at a
less cost than 6 or 8 cents per pound,
and there are plenty of men today who
grow it at this cost, or even more. where
they are carried" by merchant.
Cote n in the future will be grown by
those who farm instead Of plant, and
who work upon cash basis The day
is gone by when men could take piece
of land to crop in cotton and borrow
money to carry them through tie sea-
son, and then make living profit.
Two years ago, when cotton was at its
lowest price, [ addressed meeting of
South Carolina farmers. and took oc-
casion to say that, in my opinion, the
low price of cotton was the greatest
blessing that had befallen the southern
farmer. That, while temporarily, Of
course, a hardship, 1t would in the emo
be found to be the only thing that would
develop true farming in the cotton belt
One old farmer was SO disgusted at my
words that he left the meeting, saying
that he did not want to listen to any
more such foollshnesS. Last summer
addressed the same audience at the same
place, and seeing the same gentleman
present. called his attention to wha
| had said two years before. The neigh
general scale since the first meeting, anC
there had grown up more general in
terest in farming among the intelligent
farmers of that section. More peas were
being grown. and far greater diversity
of crops was fast taking the place of the
one.crop system. | said, without dis
sent, that my first statement was correct
and that in forcing the attention of oul
farmers to the culture of other crops
the low price of cotton had been a bless
ing in disguise.
Now it is common to meet with mer
who know that they can grow cotton q
cost of IL cents per pound, and SOM
who think they can grow it for less. o.

actual cost of 10 cents per pound, anC

Bow convention to order, was not a
member of the committee but merely
"a hired clerk. None of this report
was disputed publicly or privately.
Granite county republicans have been
protesting for four months that a con-
testing delegation had been unjustly
seated in a previous convention, and
the pretext for seating them was more
Granite delegation was therefore
bound by every consideration Of right
and consistency to vote against seating
the contesting delegation form Silver
Eow, even though Senator Mantle was
a member of it. The fiimsiness of
their claim is shown by the refusal to
allow both sides "a hearing on the floor
of the convention. Granite voted
solidly against seating the contesting
delegation. On this vote is based the
charge that the Granite delegation was
Mckinley delegation. The charge
had been diligently circulated that the
Auditorium delegation was composed
of Mckinley men and that bargain
had been made with Sanders, the
leader Of the gold forces. Sanders, in
furtherance of the old grudge against
Mantle, had early taken up the cudgels
in favor of the Regular delegation,
which seemed to give color to the
charge of q compact. The Granite
delegation, by all it's members, took
every means to discover the truth of
the above charges and became con-
vinced that they were not true. In
fact, a. prominent leader of the silver
men-one most interested in the seat
ing of the contesting delegation-soli-
cited that it's vote be at least divided.
To this the reply was made, after ex-
planation of the position, which he,
however, fully understood, that if he
could prove or assure that the charges
made were true Granite would give all
its votes to the contestants. To this
he could make no reply
1t is fact that number of the
contestants wore Mckinley buttons.
It is fact that one of the contestants
was chosen by the gold wing an elector
for Mckinley.
The Mckinley men met Friday
morning and nominated y. f. God
dard for congress. For presidential
