MAceo eIDING HIS TIME.
When He Gets Ready He Will Break
Through the Spanish Barrier.

When He Gets Ready He Will Break
Through the Spanish Barrier.
HAVANA, April elf General Maceo
succeeds in crossing the 16.mile barrier
in spite of the $4,000 Spanish regulars
pressing him on all sides General Wey
Ter must confess, as General Campos
did, that the campaign is failure and
that Spain cannot end this war by her
own unaided forces.
The rebel general has sent word to his
friends in Havana that he will break
through the trocha when he is ready,
and that when the first showers of rain
fall the captain generals plans will
turn to dust. 1t is certain that General
Maceo has some sure means Of suddenly
assembling his relieving bands on this
side of the trocha, some say by means
of colored paper balloons and others by
messages. There is growing belief
here that if General Weyler is outma
noeuvred now Spain will presently wei.
come the friendly mediation OF the
United States. Even the Spaniards
share this feeling.
Prisoners of war are condemned to
death as incendiaries without proof of
actual guilt. Evidence that a rebel
soldier belonged to column of the
enemy which burned property is suffi.
cient to insure his death. A prisoner s
conviction depends upon whether he
joined the offending band before or
after the incendiarism occurred. It is
said that nearly 100 prisoners will be
shot as incendiaries within a few DAYS

Sowing Glover Seed.

An Ohio farmer who has had much
success writes to American Agriculturist
that all depends on the condition of the
soil at time of sowing. He says:
The condition that require is that
the ground be slightly frozen, Just
enough to cause the surface to become
rough or honeycombed, Seed sown on
such a surface will naturally find the
lowest places, will fall to the bottom of
the cell-like crevices, and when thaw
comes the seed is so deeply covered that
none will grow until spring has really
come. Quit sowing just as soon as it
begins to thaw, as the seed will stick to
the soil wherever it falls. Never SOW on
snow if you want an even stand, for.
should the snow melt quickly or go off
with rain, much of the seed is carried
to the low places, and there grows in
great punches. Never SOW after rain,
when the surface is smooth and packed,
as in the condition of the surface is the
great secret of success. If fail to get
the proper conditions from freezing, /
wait until early in April, when the
wind and sun cause the ground to crack
almost as much as from freezing. /
have had good stands when sown in
this way.

HOME RULE FOR CUBA.
OUR DISPATCH FROM MADRID OF
YESTERDAY CONFIRMED.
state Department Informed-The Law
TO Go Into Effect within -Four
weeks-DetaiIs of what 1t Will
Grant TO the Cnbana.

WASHINGTON, April 21.--1he Spanish
reforms in Cuba, news Of which has al.
ready been given in these dispatches,
will be put into execution within the
next four weeks. II will be q compre-
hensive system of home rule.
There is good reason to believe that
the state department has received from
Madrid information to this effect, which
bears out our previous dispatch from
Madrid on this point. In any event it
is beyond question that this important
move is assured 1t promises to bring
to a sudden termination the irritation
and friction which has existed for
many months between the United
States and Spain, and to replace this
feeling with one of friendly and
amicable nature.
The law which will be put into effect
was signed by the queen regent of
Spain, March 10, 1896, and will be fol.
lowed up by rules and regulations de-
veloping the present scheme Of reforms.
BY the time the queen regent of Spain
makes her address to the Spanish cortes,
which assemblies in one month, the law
will be promulgated throughout Cuba
and the long. expected policy of home
rule for Cuba win be realized.
The law is very elaborate in its pro.
visions. The element of home rule is
secured by the establishment of two To-
cal bodies, drawn largely, If not entire
ly, from residents of Cuba. One of these
is to be known as the provincial cham.
Der of deputies and the other as the
council of administration. The latter
has appellate jurisdiction over the for.
mer. Large powers are granted to the
council of administration In the internal
management of public affairs, but the
governor general will continue as the
supreme representative of Spain ON the
island, and will have direct charge of
military, naval and international ques.
tions. The details of the reform project
were published at the time OF their
adoption by the Spanish cortes in 1885,

Hot spat In the Meeting Of the New
York Presbytery.
New YORK, April 2l.-At an ad-
journed meeting of the Presbytery of
New York, a hot spat occurred over the
Briggs controversy. The report pre-
pared by the committee on the minutes
of the general assembly, said in part
But the assembly further proceeds to
enjoin this presbytery as to its action
with reference to the licensure of these
students. In thus attempting to author
itatively control this presbytery in this
matter it seems to us that the general
assembly exceeds its constitutional
powers, and infringes upon the inher.
ent right of the presbytery, which are
specifically reserved to it by our consti-
tuition, as to the exercise of its functions
in the reception and licensure of candi-
dates for the gospel ministry"
Rev. j. Ford Sutton in speaking to
the report referred to the Union Theo-
logical seminary and its action in sus-
tanning Dr. Briggs in spreading his
heresies after the general assembly had

Permanence of Deep Drains.

In all northern localities underdrains
should be put down to at least three feet
in depth if a good outlet can be had.
Shallow drains are soon washed out, or
the frost penetrates to their bottom in
severe weather and disarranges the tile
or stone used as waterway. We have
frequently seen drains put down to a
depth of 30 inches or two feet that after
few years would be worthless. We
have dug and laid drains upward of 36
years ago that are yet in good condition.
They were all three feet or more in
depth. American Cultivator.
