White Mountain Freight
Plunged Into the Water.
The Engineer, Fireman and Brake
man Lost Their Lives.
Had No Intimation of Danger Ahead.
Wrecking Crews are at Work.

woodsville. n. H., July Ga freight
train on the White Mountain division Of
theBoston andMaine railroad, was wrecked
by "a washout Mt 3 o'clock this morning at
point about four miles north of this
station and three men were killed and the
engine and three cars were badly wrecked
The killed are:
Patrick Lennon, engineer. White1eld,
n. II.
Bert Pebbles, fireman, Woodsville.
Brakeman Rarto.
IT is thought the engine plunged through
the undermined track without warning
as no attempt To slack the speed of the
train was noticed. As the locomotive
found Judgment in the water and mud,
the heavy cars rushing on behind crushed
IL into a broken and twisted mass of
debris. The other cars which were de-
rallied were not badly damaged.
Wreckipg crews have arrived and are
at work clearing away the wreckage and
repairing that part of the track washed
out abe ld of the wreck. 1t Is thought
trains will not be running regularly until
late tomorrow afternoon or early Thurs
day morning. An Investigation of the
wreck shows that a section of the track
and roadbed for distance Of $50 feet was
washed away by the overflow of POors
Brook during the night. The rails, it
is thought, were in position for quite a
distance in front OF the locomotive when
it reached the treacherous spot The
washout was caused by cloud burst
which passed over this section yesterday.
A great volume of water fell in short
time and the small streams overflowed
tho lowiands. 1t was reported here, this
morning, that another washout occurred
on the railroad at North Haverhill, south
of this place.

Spain Cling. To Foolish Homes.

London.-The Madrid correspondent
OF the Times, commenting on the situ-
alton in Cuba, says: Whether any
great number of insurgents will fight
for the Americans is considered ex.
tremely doubtful, but despite the Span
ish hope it is equally doubtful whether
General Maxine Gomez and the other
influential insurgent leaders will bold
ly declare against American annexa-
ton. Ali that can be said with GER
tainty is that the Cabinet at Washing
ton had not found and cannot count
upon efficient assistance from the in
surgents, which it evidently expected
when it rushed into war without hay
ing an army of occupation ready.
Since the Ministry has been con-
structed publicity and prominence are
being given by leading organs to the
movements of troops, which seems to
indicate an intention to warn whom it
may concern that Spain is ready to re-
sist any unjustifiable schemes of agrees
sion, from whatever quarter it may
come. These movements have reference
to the idea that Spain may be helpful
to the power in the event of any CON-
bination against an Anglo-Saxon
alliance.

Minister Mendonca's Tribute to Amer.


NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. de Mendonca,
who has represented Brazil at Wash
ington in the capacity of Minister since
1891, has presented his letters of re.
call, preparatory to being transferred
to Portugal. The ceremony, which is,
in many cases, little more than idle
form, was in this case remarkable from
the magnificent tribute paid to the
United States by Mendonca who had
occupied the position of Consul General
for Brazil at New York for many years
preceding his accession to the Minis
try. Mendonca has had more abundant
opportunity for observation than falls
to the lot of most diplomatic represent.
atives.
In the course of his speech Senior
Mendonca said: ut has been my aspi-
ration before leaving your country to
sit again at a table around which all
the American republics would re-enact,
on a more solid basis, the agreement
outlined by the unratified treaty OF
April 80, 1890, distributing the re.
sponsibilities of the policy Of Monroe
by the members of the compact, as it
is due to their sovereign character.
Blessed be the day which shall witness
the meeting of such a congress, the first
step for the establishment of an Ameri-
can diet, high court of the interna-
tional affairs Of our continent.

No ob.taole to Seal poachIng.

New York.-A special from Wash
ington says: Seal poachers in Behring
sea will have no interference with
their traffic this season from this Gov
eminent. There will be no patrol in
Alaskan waters, and the British Govern
ment is expected to withhold any ves-
sells as well.
The failure to maintain the usual
summer patrol, which has been made
either by regulars, naval vessels or
ships OF the revenue cutter service,
is because of the necessity of retaining
every vessel on the Pacific Coast
which would be of use as a fighting
ship. All the cutters were soon inn
pressed into the naval service and are
now being converted and fitted out as
regular war vessels, mounting guns and
equipped for patrol work along the Pa
cific.
The poachers are understood now to
be leaving British provinces, with
their boats, for Alaska, and the Treas
ury officials fear that great havoc will
be committed to seal life this season,
owing to the lack of protection by this
Government. The herds, which have
dwindled until they are but compare
lively few in number, will probably
be greatly decimated by the attacks of
the poachers, the officials believe, but
they see no way Of preventing it, as
to secure vessels for patrol, manned and
equipped, would draw on the available
number of officers and men to an ex-
tent which could not be readily met.

OPINION IN FRANCE.
1t Seems to Be swervins Toward Amer.

lea.
New York.-A dispatch from Paris
to the World says: There are remark
able indications in certain Paris jour
nails hitherto inimical of complete
reversal of the French disposition to-
ward America. The Gaulois, for ex-
ample, extols the cleverness with
which Admiral Sampson has maneu.
vered, taking advantage of his oppo-
nents' slowness to effect a junction
with Schley.
M. Jaures in the Petite Republique
writes in the same strain of America g
admirable attack and defense, which
have been directed with energy and
life." NJ. Jaures derides Spain for
allowing herself to be made the sport Of
clericalism and militarism.
There is strong article in the Echo
de Paris, signed Henry Baure, calling
French hostility to her ancient friends
and clients beyond the Atlantic foolish
and illogical. France" the writer
says, is naturally drawn to America
as Republic, and should not give way
to sudden tenderness for Spain"
On the other hand, Henry Fouquier,
in the Dix Nuevieme Steele, writes in
a vein hardly short of insulting to
American women for their alleged
snobbishness in seeking to make out a
long line of aristocratic ancestors.

EXPERTSENLIGHTENED
Armored Cruisers Are in the
Lead.
EFFECTIVE IN OFFENSIVE WARFARE
Lessons Taught by Maneuyers Of Ger
VerA's speedy Squadron UPsets the
Theory Of Captain Goodrich.

New York.-A Washington special to
the Herald says: As result Of the
maneuvers executed by the Spanish
fleet under command of Admiral Ger
vera, future naval constructors will
give armored cruisers a prominent
place in types adopted for offensive
warfare. This, perhaps, is the best
lesson taught up TO this time by the
war with Spain. Such is the opinion
of naval experts with whom / have
talked since Admiral Cervera with his
speedy squadron arrived ten days ago
at Martinique. 1t marks the downfall
of the theory so strongly advocated by
mand of the Yale, and fromerly pro-
lessor of the Naval War College, that
the armored cruiser has no place in
modern natives.
Captain Goodrich is now probably
convinced of the value of armored
cruisers" said prominent naval
officer, "in view of the fact that as
commaning officer of the Yale he had
been scouting for the enemy's fleet
some days before its arrival at Martin
ique. Since the war began we have
been using vessels for purposes for
which their types unsuited them. For
instance, the Indiana, Massachusetts,
and Oregon are coast defense battle
ships. Yet they have been sent to sea
cruising for the enemy, when they
were really intended for defensive pur-
poses.
Then we have been employing har-
Dor defense monitors of blockading pur-
poses and for offensive warfare, the
result being to cripple the maneuver-
ing quality of our fleet and the handi-
Gaping of Rear Admiral Sampson seri-
ously in his offensive and defensive
operations.
"Our ship-buildiing policy has been
all wrong. The country has gone on
the theory that defensive navy was
all that was necessary. The present
war teaches that an offensive navy is
absolutely required"

TEA INDUSTRY IS DECLINING.
Outlook In Japan Not Assuring.

Tacoma.-Reports received at Yoko-
hama up to May show that Japan's
tea crop was greatly damaged by
severe frost occurring on April %.
The damage was most pronounced in
the Shidzuoka and Kyota districts,
where there was already a decrease
in acreage compared with last and pre-
vous years.
Japanese papers state that the tea
industry is surely declining in several
districts, owing largely to the increase
Of expenses attendant upon tea manu-
facture.
Estimates Of the cost Of picking, fir
ing, ETC., amount this year to $40 yen
per 80 kemamme, compared with Gas
yen last year. Skilled labor is found
to be higher throughout the districts
than ever before because Of the greatly
increased cost of living.
The Central Tea Dealers Guild of
Japan received cablegrams from New
York on April 90 stating that the tea
market prospects there were rendered
very unpromising by the outbreak OF
the Spanish war.
The Guild then sent circulars to tea
dealers throughout Japan urigng that
the most stringent rules be adopted
in manufacturing and shipping tea to
this country, which constitutes Japan's
best market.
The tea growers are considerably dis
heartened. The last season was poor
one, the Japanese market being greatly
overstocked after June 10, previous to
which shipments were unusually large,
because the United States was expected
to collect a duty on tea after July /.

AERIAL WAR CAMERA.
Chicago Photographic 10 Exhibit His
Ingenious Device.


Chicaeo.-M. J. Steffens, a photog-
rapher, has been invited to Washing
ton by Secretary Alger to exhibit de-
vice for aerial photography, by which
military camps, Notifications and fleets
eighty miles away can be photographed
as easily as objects ten feet of. Steffens
has been working on this device for
several years, and as it is of broad
utility, he had il patented some time
before the commencement Of the war.
The balloon which he uses is made OF
rubber film, like toy balloon, and is
inflated with hydrogen gas, and a
camera is suspended to it, as in all
similar devices. The balloon is held
at the required distance by cord,
within which are two fine copper wires
properly insulated from each other, by
which power is conveyed and the ma
chinery Of the camera is operated. On
the ground end of the cord the wires
are connected with cell battery. At
the balloon end they are connected with
magnet which operates small lever.
Within the camera is band of sensi-
tiled paper, long enough to receive 1870
photographs. BY means Of clock work
the motive power of which is a coiled
spring, this band Of paper is uncoiled
on one roll and cooled on another as
fast as pictures are taken.
During the process a tiny shutter
closes the aperture of the lens. The
lever attached 10 the magnet is con-
nected both with the shutter and with
the clock work so that by the same
motion it first releases the shutter and
sets the rollers in motion. 1t then
stops the rollers and opens the apert-
ure of the lens, so that the pressure and
then the release of the button at the
ground end takes the picture and pre-
pares the camera for another. Ordin-
arily the balloon will be over the spot
which it is desired to photograph, and
then the camera will be adjusted so as
to point downward. But sometimes it
will be needed to photograph surround
ing scenes, and then it will be adjusted
at proper angle before the balloon is
sent up. Lieutenant Greedy from what
he has heard of this device, has great
confidence that it will work satisfactor-
ily.

Ammunition Found on the Argonauta.
Key West.-0ver forty cases of am
munition were Iuunu III une spanish
steamer Argonauta, captured during
the first days of the war. 1t was on
board this steamer that Lieutenant.
Colonel Cortijo, Weyler's brother-in.
law, was captured, with other Spanish
soldiers, now prisoners at Fort Nc.
Pherson.
The discovery OF the war supplies on
board the Argonauta will not change
the status of her case before the prize
court; it had already been decided,
before the learning of the find,
that the steamer was legitimately a
prize OF war, no claims having been
filed by the owners of the ship or cargo.
A like decision was rendered in the
case of the steamer Ambrosio Bolivar
and the schooners Candidate, Mathilda
and Sophia. The only formality re.
naming to make these vessels the abso.
lutte property of the United States is
the confirmation by the Federal Court
authorities of the findings of the prize
commission.
The cases OF the Buena Ventura, the
first capture of the war, and the Pedro,
Catalina, Miguel Jover, Panama and
Guido, all large and valuable steamers.
will have to be tried in regular form
by the United States Court, claims
having been filed by the owners of the
ships and cargoes.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.
Helpful Suggestions For the
AgricuIturists.
HINTS THAT ARE INTERESTING.
Some Coco Advice for the RuraIIsts-A
Budget of knowledge That May
Prove Beneficial.
Success with Chicks.

Assuming that you have chosen good
stock from which to raise your chicks,
give them untiring care, nourishing
food and plenty of it, and careful over
sight, until they are several weeks old,
or large enough to Withstand ordinary
chill or wet, changes in the weather,
and coarser food.
The first food after the chicks have
been out of the shell "a hours may be
soaked bread crusts, or a cake made
purposely for them, and moistened
with milk or water. This cake is made
from the mixed meal fed the hens (corn,
oats and fine feed). A little salt and
saleratus are added and it is then wet
up like a mash and thoroughly baked.
The uncooked dough so often fed is not
fit for small chicks, and in its raw
state it is far harder to digest. This
cake should be fed certainly twice a
day for six weeks, but after few days
the bill of fare may be varied thus:
Moistened cake in the morning and at
noon, with the addition of mashed small
potatoes at dinner time. Morning and
afternoon lunch, oatmeal moistened
with milk or water. This is the real
article bought of the grocer at az or
&c per lb. 1t sounds very expensive
and in way it is, but it is also econom-
ical because it is the most complete
single food known for chickens. As a
well balanced" ration by itself, it
promotes growth in flesh, blood and
bone. After a week wheat should be
fed at night and in another week the
diet may be still further varied by
changing the $50 feed to cracked corn,
and after six weeks substitute a spe-
cial poultry feed for clear oat meal.
II fresh cut bone can be obtained, give
this as soon as the chicks can bear it;
if not, mix little animal meal with
the soft feed.
The next matter Of importance after
proper housing and feed is the war
against lice. First powder your sitting
hen literally and powder again before
she leaves her chickens. Any good
insecticide will do. Powder the chicks
again in few weeks and possibly yet
again before they are wholly feathered
out. If your chicks look ragged and
droopy or as if the moths had suddenly
gone to eating feathers, look for lice.
They will ruin the chicks if you do not
get rid of them.
Keep their coops as clean as possible,
look out for soaking rains, supply
plenty of grass, fresh air, pure water
and sunshine, and if, as before men,
toned, your parent stock was hardy
and vigorous, your percentage of loss
should be small, except it be through
devastation from vandals outside the
poultry yard.
