 Prof. Stinson Gives Good Advice.
 Mir. Stiuson at once took the subject of strawberries and stated that at the experimental station they had about i.5 varieties on trial, but that there were but five that they considered worth growing. These were "Michels Ev., ; Crescent" Candy" "Haver- landp end sBubach." !" He pronounced this an excellent country for growing blackberries and recommended the By Harvest" and Snyder" as best.
 No better grape country was known, this being the home of the wine grapes, the .Cynthiana" being the best Jn reply Q a query about peaches the Professor stated that every one knew that this was the best country in all the west for peaches, the trees grow thrifty. bear young and are long lived. He recommended the "Tuli'' as the best apple to plant for this section, il having originated near here and is known as q good apple, prolific bearer and an excellent keeper. the 'shockley7 and Ben Davis" being next best.
 Spraying Fruit.
 The Professor earnestly advised spraying grape vines and apple trees to insnre the best success in warding off diseases and killing insects, giving the result of several experiments, each showing larger yield and better fruit where spraying had been done. For fungous diseases such as apple scab. blaek rot of the grape and siml- lar diseases lie recommended the Bor- dou mixture for general treatment cosnposed of the following ingredients: four pounds copper sulphate four pounds fresh lime and fonrty five gall ions of water To use before the buds appear the simple solution of copper suiphate, ope pound sulphate to twen- ty-ave gallons of water, was good
 For insects that live by eating tue leaves and fruit use either paris green or london puple, one-third of pound to fifty gallons of water.
 All mixtures should be kept well stirred so that the ingredients be kept well mixed. When using the paris green or london purple fresh lime should he adeed as the lime prevents injury to the foliage from the arsenic in the solution. The proper time for spraying, the Professor said, arc first, when the blossoms have fallen then one week later, again in three weeks and again enc week or rcn days later. The Professor replied quite satIsfac- torilv to several queries and at the conclusion preliminary steps were taken 10 organlze horticultural SO ciety twelve members enrolling their names. \ temporary organization was effected ny choosing A.

CASEA. March 6.-Thc foreign admirals have,

Indignation OF the Christians.

thought that the real object In landing the
foreign force Is TO compel the insurgents to raise

mans In the town, and that their situation is
very grave,
Tho insurgents guns are destroying the fort

ly England and perhaps Franco and Italy, are
urging Greece in a friendly and informal way
to negotiate with the powers for the gradual
withdrawal Of the Turkish and Greek troops
from Crete, thus saving her dignity and making
the ultimate annexation Of Greece and Creto
possible. According to all accounts, the I'M
bending obstinacy Of the German Emperor
would make even this arrangement impossible.
1t is known that every effort is being made TO
induce King George to refrain from declaring
war against Turkey. II. howevcr. he is determined
to resist the demand Of tho powers, rs all ac-
counts agree ho will do. n declaration OF war
would be his best possible move. The powers
would then be deprived OF an excuse for inter
fcring on tho ground Of any violation OF inter
national law, and, as Greece is an independent
power, there is no question Of her right to declare
war. The embarrassment Of the powers would
then he immensely incrca sed. and 4, may safely
he assumed that public opinion in western Eu-
rope and this country would prevent three. at
least, Of tho powers from actively supporting

The chimney WAS about live feet wide, eighteen
inches thick, and rose to II height of twenty feet
above the roof,
Mrs. Smidly, who lives on the top floor OF an
adjoining tenement, had u Cl0thcH!ihc stretched
from her window and fastened 10 the chimney.
She left some clothes ont on tho line on Friday,

Juggling away at IL when suddenly the chimney
fell, sending two tons OF bricks through the roof
with u crash that WAS heard for several blocks.
Immediately there was u panic among the
girls in the shirt factory, ana some one shouted
that the boiler In the cellar had blown up. Half
the girls ran down stairs screaming with fright,
while the rest went to the windows. Several of
them were climbing out to Jump To the yard

MASzANiLLo. Feb. -, via Havana. March o.
The Spanish column OF Gen. vara del Rey.
1000 mon strong, was defeated and dispersed
two days ago by tho Cuban forces under ON
mand OF Gen. Calixto Garcia. More than l 900
spanlards wcro left dead on the estate Costoma-
da and the remaining part of the column en-
tered Manzanillo in the greatest disorder, prov
ing how serious the defeat was.
In spite OF the art OF snatching victory from
defeat, In which tho Spanish official reports so
greatly excel, Gen. Vara del Itcy is obliged to
confess his disaster. though finding an excuse in
the superior number Of the Cubans and tho
advantage of their position. In his report,
known at Manzanillo, though probably II will
not be published In Havana, he says that his
column was only 1900 men strong and he csti-
mates the Cubans at over 5000. Tho Spanish
dead. he says. were 500, and, he adds, that not
withdrawing he was obliged to retire. the losses
OF the Insurgents were also severe.
The battle turned against the Spaniards when
| Con. Vnra del hey tried to cross, on his way TO
| Manzanillo, the River Buey, notwithstanding
| tho heavy ilro from the Cuban rifles and two
cannon. one n twelve.pounder, which caused
terrible slaughter.
While crossing the river all was disorder and
confusion among the Spaniards, and they could
not reply to the yollcys OF their foes. Nearly all
