Utilizing Unproductive Land.

There are on almost all farms some
bits of land naturally as good as the
rest that remain upproductive for lack
of capital. 1t may not be more profita-
BILE to bring these into productiveness
than it is to put the bulk of the ma
nure and labor on the best land, but it
makes the farm look better and sell
better. Quite often when these places
are too stony for cropping trees plant
ed there will prove the best use such
places can be made to serve

Words.
Words.

Havana, Jan. Io.-rhough the insu-
gents have no navy, they do not hest
tate, when the opportunity offers, to
attack the Spanish warships. The lat
est instance of this kind occurred yes
terday morning, when a Spanish gun
boat was sunk by means of a torpedo,
and many of her crew killed. A de-
tachment of rebels, had made an at
tack upon the forts at Guamo, some
distance up the Cauto river, province
of Santiago de Cuba, and the Spanish
troops, fearing that they would not be
able to hold out, asked for assistance
from Manzanillo on the coast. On Sat
urday night the gunboats Centineli and
Relapago left Manzanillo under or
ders to ascend the river and protect
the forts. The commander of the gun
boats used all possible speed in running
up the coast to the mouth of the river,
but when they began to ascend the
stream they proceeded very cautiously,
susPecting that the rebels might have
planted torpedoes in the channel. All
went well until the gunboats were OPP
Posite place called Mongo, when, de-
spite all the precautions that had been
taken, the Relampago struck torpedo.
instantly there was a terrific explosion
and masses of water were hurled to a
great height. The hull of the Relampa-
go was torn open and she at once began
to sink. There was no time to lower a
boat, and almost before the extent of the
disaster could be realized the vessel went
down. Those on board of the ship who
were not injured jumped into the water
and made their way the best they could
in the direction of the Centineli. AS
soon as it was seen that the vessel was
sinking the Centeneli boats were sent to
The rescue. The rebels appeared to be
n strong force along the banks of the
liver, and when they saw the Spaniards
n the water they directed heavy rifle
ire upon them. The Centeneli fired up
m the rebels, but as they could not be
cen, 1t is not believed hat any serious
osses were Inflicted upon them.
When the Centeneli's boats attempted
rescue the men struggling in the
'ater the rebels fired upon them, but
ne Spaniards bravely persisted in their
'ork OF rescue until all the men had
cen taken from the water.
