the death of Mr.. Ricardo Ruiz me
status of the Scott case is unchanged.
General Lee has asked that he be in
structed to demand the release OF all
American citizens who are held IN
Cuba under circumstances of illegality
similar to those which characterized
the Ruiz case These instructions, which
the most rudimentary appreciation OF
our national honor and our Self-re-
spect should inspire in the breast of
porter or a messenger boy in the de-
partment will have to be forthcoming,
or a new consul general sent to Ha-
Vana. General FitZhugh Lee, the de-
scendant of two of the signers of the
declaration of independence. cannot

allow his name to be associated with
policy of ignomy and surrender
/ should state that from the day of
the arrest of Ruiz to the day of his
death in prison, the Spanish authori-
ties, though having his papers in their
possession, never took the trouble to
inform General Lee that an American
had been arrested, and he was only
kept informed of the course of events
from non-official sources.
This alone constitutes a grave breach
of international law.

SHERMAN Is WARM.
Butchery of Americans Must Be
Stopped at All Hazards.


New York. Feb. 22.-The Journal. this
morning, prints the following state
ments made by Senator Sherman at
Washington yesterday in the course of
an interview in regard to the death in
Cuba of DR.. Ricardo Ruiz:
IF the facts are true, as reported,
and American citizens are being muir
dered in Cuba in cold blood. the only
way TO put an end to the atrocities is
TO declare war on Spain.
Il know not what course Secretary
Olney may pursue. but this is no longer
a question of belligerency, but one of
foul murder of an American citizen
held as a suspect.
I'VE have already recognized Cuba S
belligerency by an act of congress
passed last session, but we have not
recognized independence.
I'VE have a right to interfere if
either Spain or Cuba fails TO carry on
civilized warfare, though the death Of
Ruiz is quite another matter.
Il suppose that Secretary Olney, hav-
ing requested a full investigation, Con-
sul-GeneraI Lee will again promptly
call upon the Spanish authorities for
the facts in Ruiz's case and that if
Ruiz's body has been buried, it will
be exhumed and examined. Then, if
the investigation shows that an Ameri-
can mas Deen Inuruerec, opdlH VIII De
asked to make reparation.
IF she refuses to do so the United
States ought to force her by declaring
war We cannot stand idly by and
permit the Spaniards to butcher Amer
leans as they please. We are bound to
protect our citizens. and think Ameri-
cans in Cuba viii be protected even if
we have to resort to arms.
Congress has done its duty and
there is nothing more to do save to
recognize the independence of Cuba 1
cannot say what will he done but
think these atrocities, if they are true
as reported, should be stopped imme-
diately."

Value of the Experiment Station.


Professor W. H. Jordan, the new di-
ton. spoke on the Observation-Disclosures
as a Factor in Modern Agriculture"
Conversation among farmers has
greatly changed in 25 years. You now
hear them talking about plant food
nitrogen, potash. phosphoric acid. etc.
Editors refer questions to experiment
stations which have been a potent
factor in effecting the change. The
first station was established in Con-
necticut in 1875 to analyZe fertilizers.
There are now SO stations. 500 men
employed in them, and Sl.Co0.O0O ex-
pended annually. He would not say
that these stations can teach farmers
how to make money. Making money
is a business question, depending upon
the business capacities of the man. One
important branch OF the experiment
station is the inspection of fertilizers.
Farmers should know what ingredients
fertilizers should contain, and what
those they purchase do contain. He
would like. also. to have seen inspec-
ton and food inspection. There is a
class of foods called patent food that
very greatly need inspection The IN
vestigation side is the most important.
There are 20 subjects under investiga-
ton az Geneva. They have branch
station on Long Island for the benefit
of market gardeners. The cucumber
blight has been very disastrous there of
late years. BY experiments in spray
ing they have saved a good pickle
crop, while on check rows not sprayed
they had but one picking. They are
trying TO study fundamentals. Have
3.100 varieties of different species of
fruits. The farmers do not properly
appreciate their work Only $4,000 of
the 400. 600 farmers of New York state
ask for their bulletins.

Making the Farm Paw.

Secretary McKeen, the efficient sec
rotary of the Maine board of agricul-
ture. at a recent farmers meeting
strongly advocated the reduction OF
the cost of production.
First by stopping as far as possible
all wastes; stop feeding Improbable
animals and improve our methods In
the dairy the Babcock test and scales
will solve the question. In crop and
stock production simple debt and cred
it book keeping does the work. Make
everything available for a profit, as
does the manufacturer either directly
or indirectly. Increase our farm re-
sources TO their fullest possible extent.
l am fully satisfied that if our board
of agriculture and agricultural socie-
ties can bring our farmers to full
realization of the possible resources of
their farms they will be doing them
one of the greatest favors in their
power.
1T is a crying evil that so many
acres of naturally good soil are lying
idle or producing but small part or
what they are capable of doing under
proper mana cement.
Another question which we must
answer is the getting as much skill as
possible into our products, getting them
as far removed from the raw material
as we can. Skill pays on the farm as
elsewhere. The successful farmer to-
day, while he may be lacking in some
of the qualities which brought success
formerly, possesses some which were
formerly unknown. Make reputation
for your goods by slxillful handling:
keep it by fair dealing. This is an age OF
specialists in all lines of work. The
skillful specialist is in constant de-
mand His labor is at premium all
the time. Our farm work is constantly
drifting towards stock production, and
to make il a full success we must an

San Francisco, Feb. 21-The arrival
of the Gallilee from Tahita shows thai
another country is in the throes OF
war. The islanders on the Marshall
group have thrown open defiance at
France and all the forces at the corI-
mand of the governor of the Islands
have proved of no avail against the
natives. The villages of the latter have
been destroyed. their crops burned,
their strongholds in the hills have been
shelled. and their dead can be counted
by the hundreds and thousands.
According to the story told by the
passengers on the Galilee. the natives
have been growing and grumbling for
a long time past. They assert that the
taxes are too heavy, and finally re-
fused to pay, them when called upon.
Those on the main group were soon
brought to terms, but the men on Raia-
tea and the adjacent islands held out,
and when the Galilee sailed from Pa
peete the men, women and children had
retired to the hills and were keeping
up a desultory warfare.
The transport Aube, with several
companies of volunteers and the frigate
Duguay-Iriouin, were on the scene and
the following proclamation was sent
to all the rebel chiefs:
ITO the rebels of Raiatea and Tahaa:
Repeated insults to the French flag
have tried the patience of the govern
ment of the republic. 1 came forward
with soldiers and men-of-war to COM
pei you to lay down your arms and re-
turn to obedience. l allow you four
days grace to listen to the voice of
reason and make your submission COM
plete.
After that time if you do not sur
render our troops will march against
you and punish you as you deserve.
If you compel me to take arms, 1
will take the most severe measures
against you and your people and con-
fiscate your territory.
Il. therefore, order you to evacuate
your districts without delay. and come
with your chief, your families, your
arms and ammunition on January l, at
the following places:
The rebels of Tahaa with their
wives and families to the island of
Toahutu.
THE rebels of Opoa on the island of
Iritu: those of Tevaitoa on the island
of Tahunoae and Torea.
THE white flag has to be raised on
all those points to show that you have
rendered your submission. Executed at
Utuaraa.
&c. GALLET, Governor"
No satisfactory replies were returned
to this proclamation.

Shutters For Barn Windows.

DIR. F. L. Russell in Massachusetts,
Ploughman: A few clean windows
on the sunny side will admit a very
appreciable amount of heat during a
sunny day. You may say there is loss
of considerable heat through these win
dows during cloudy days and nights
But we hav learned to prevent much
of this loss in our house by means of
double windows for cold weather. May
it not be true that it would be wise
TO adopt the same expedient in our
barns, or accomplish the same end by
means of tight wooden shutters to
cover most Of the windows when the
sun does not shine2
