LIBERAL MANIFESTO. THE SkGASTA PARTY IN SPAIN OUT
 LINE A CUBAN POLICY.

The Present Administrators Conduct of
 the War In Cuba Strongly Denounced.

 Paper Bitterly Attacks woodford.
 Madrid. June 22.-The Spanish Lib- erals have adopted an attitude which will probably create d profound senss- tion both here and j.. Fle United States, but which Is little calculated to improve the situation.
 Al meeting of ex-mmislers of the Liberal party Senor Sagasta made an energetic speech denouncing the home and foreign policies of the premier and his conduct during the recent crisis, which, Sagasta insisted, had led the people to criticise the decision uf the crown.
 The meeting resolved to issue a mani- festo declaring that the Liberals would persist in abstaining from all relations with the government so long as the Duke of Tetuan Is retained in the eabl- net The manifesto will also assert that the Liberals were the authors of the first colonial reform scheme in 1894. but curtailed it in 1885 in order to obtain the support of the Conservatives.
 lHe HlahliNSAo WILL hndfAiAtflLt the proposed reforms of Canovas as made quate and suggest the replacement of Captain General Weyler by a governor who will continue the war in accordance with civilized practices. the stopping of the reign of terror and devastation Of property in Cuba and the appointment of a civilian as royal commissioner. with full powers. distinct from the military authorities, to execute reforms of the widest autonomy In political, ad- ministrative. economical, tariff and leg islative matters compatible with the preservation of the imperial sover- eighty.
 The manifesto will promise to go very far in the direction of a sacrifice of Spanish commercial interests and of sharing the burden of colonial war debts In order to secure peace.
 The newspapers here are busy looking up the speech which, it Is alleged, Gen eral woodford made years ago favorlng the Cuban rebels and drawing infer ences therefrom.
 They also echo the statement pub- lished In an English paper that the Ha- waiian islands would be at the mercy of the Spanish fleet in the event of an International rupture.
 The Heraldo publishes an extrRordl- narlly violent editorial against General Woodtord. saying that if he is another ilibuster he cannot come to Spain or be received at court.

Washington, June 2l.-General Stew art l.. woodford of New York has been nominated and has accepted the posi- ton of minister to Spain. The senate promptly confirmed the nomination.
 General Woodford's task Is divided into three parts. and as to two of these accurate information can be given.
 His first mission will be to present a demand for indemnity for the death of Dr. Ruiz. His second task is to pave the way for making a distinct proposl- tion for the freedom of Cuba.

RATIONS FOR HORSES.


Starvation Always Spells the shape of
a Growing Animal.
We talk abou the loss of the horse
business from one cause or another,
but the most mischief comes from the
want of proper food, says an exchange.
This means loss to the horse and
greater loss to the farmer. A good per
cent. of the horses seen on the streets
of any town show insufficient or un-
balanced food supply. Horses that
have been iil-fed when young are al
most invariably small. long-legged,
,ight-carcassed and narrow-chested.
Some Of them have a great deal of
energy, but all are soon exhausted, IN
fit for protracted exertion. Grown-up
horses. when much reduced by def
Gent nourishment, require more food
10 put them into working order than
would have kept them for two or three
months in the condition they require
to possess when going into work.
When a horse is starved. besides losing
strength and flesh. his bowels get full
of worms and his skin covered with
lice. Very often he takes mango, and
sometimes he does not moult, or the
hair falls cut suddenly and entirely
off. leaving the skin nearly bald for a
long time. The skin of an ill-fed horse
is always rigid, sticking 10 the ribs,
and their hair dull. staring. soft, dead
like. If not famished TO death they re.
cover strength and animation with
good and sufficient feeding. but STAR
walton always spoils the shape of q
growing horse.

A writer in the Journal of the Frank

the danger Of disease germs in soils.
tie says:
Ii has been observed in France that,
In localities where animals are inferred
which have died Of Charlton, the germs
of this infectious malady persist in
the soils for many years, and that, es-
p~ecially when cereal crops are cultivat-
ed upon such soils, there is great danger
of communicating healthy cattle with
the same disease. In one case il was
observed that many sheep which were
pastured in : field in which, two years
before, a single animal which had died
Of Charlton was buried. were infected
with the disease and died. In like man.
ner, 1t is entirely probable that the
germs Of hog cholera may be preserved
in the soil for many years, to finally
again be brought into an activity which
may prove most disastrous for the own
ers of swine. Every effort should be
made by agronomists to avoid infect
ing the soil by carcasses which are
dead from any zymotic disease. Crema-
ton is the only safe method of dispos-
ing Of such infected carcasses- The
Investigations of scientists have shown
that there are many diseases of an In
fictitious nature due to these germs, and
that these germs may preserve their
vitality In the soil. Among others may
be mentioned yellow fever and tetanus,
and the micrdoe producing the bubonic
plague, which retains it's vitality in the
soil. and thus escapes entire eradica-
ton. For the reasons given above, the
agronomist, who also has at heart the
health and welfare of man and beast,
can hardly look with favor upon any
of the plans which have been proposed
for the use of sewage from large cities
for irrigation purposes. There is
scarcely a time in any large city when
come infectious disease. due to the ac-
tivity of germs, does not exist, and the
sewage is liable at all times to be con.
animated herewith.
