When to Use Wood Ashes.

In our opinion, the very best way to
apply wood ashes is to broadcast them
after blowing and thoroughly harrow
them into the soil. We would do this
before planting. In case OF meadows Or
grain it is of course impossible to ap-
ply ashes in this way. In such case we
would broadcast the ashes in spring, if
possible before growth starts. The prac-
tice of applying ashes to young clover
after harvesting the grain is often fol-
lowed and gives good results on the
crop, but to obtain the greatest benefit
to the soil ashes or lime should be har-
rowed in. Ashes contain considerable
lime, therefore their action On the soil
is much the same as that of lime. -

BOUND FOR CUBA.
Toby 200 Americans VIII Leave Chicago
to Help the Insurgents.

Chicago, August 3O.-The Times Herald
says; Two hundred Americans and three
carloads of ammunition are supposed to
leave Chicago tomorrow night for Jack
sonville, Fla, there to board steamer
Soledad, for some point in Cuba.
The date of the Soledad's sailing is.
according to Spanish reports, fixed for
Saturday.
The Americans composing the Chicago
Cuban contingent are made up mostly
Of the unemployed. They have enlisted
for 10 months, and are to receive salary
of $40 month. In the event of Cuba S
receiving her freedom from Spain, each
soldier is promised large tract of land
and sum of money.
Lieut.. Col. Dominez of the New York
Junta is now in Chicago. He comes as
the agent of President Cisneros and
Treasurer Benjamin Guerra. He brought
several thousands dollars with him and
has been using it among those who were
found willing to join the insurgents.
Unless Spanish Consul Fernando Stau-
dy Giminez, who will ask the federal
court for an injunction prohibiting the
moving of these men and ammunition
is successful. the men will meet today
with knapsaeks and rifles ready to join
the forces of Gomez in Pinar del Rio
district. 70
just exactly by what line the Cuban
soldiers are to travel between this point
and Jacksonville is not known.
The Spanish eonssd, acting under Or
daFc from MiniSf01, Ia xubo ia
at Lenox, Mass, has sent out q notice
to all lines running south to the follow
ing effect:
'You are hereby warned not to carry
materials contraband of war, or any
material that may be subsequently used
for or by the Cuban insurgents. If such
material is shipped, the Spanish govern
ment will hold you responsible under
the rules of international law, and by
reason of any such protection as the laws
of the United States give said Spanish
government as far as relates to the ship
ping or carrying of goods contraband of
war to non-belligerents.
This warning WAS sent out after the
consul had consulted his governments
attorney in this city.
At late hour last night the consul
telegraphed to minister De LONE, asking
if he should apply to U. S. District At
torney Black for an injunction restrain
ing all railroads from carrying men or
ammunition supposed to be bound for
Florida points.
On this question the consul is in doubt,
although he says it appears to him that
under the law he has tho same right to
stop the men and ammunition here as he
would where they were about to board
a snip at Jacksonville. AT all events it is
likely that the matter will be brought to
Gen. Blacks attention. .13AT,
ho 0r1l alny, inc
from Minister de LONE, has also notified
all Spanish agents along the Mexican
coast to be en- the lookout for flibustering
expeditions from Chicago.
Minister de LONE has wired Secretary
Sherman at Washington, calling atten-
ton to the fact that party of insurgents
has engaged passage from Chicago to
Jacksonville and calling on the Secretary
to take measures to prevent the parture
of these men and to seize whatever am
munition might be found billed for Flor
ida.

The LATEST FROM THE KLoNDiKE

Canadian Horses Taxed in Entering
Alaska-Action May React on American
Miners.
Seattle, Wash, August 30.-Steamer
King City has arrived from Dyea and
Skaguay The following letter was
brought from the Associated Press CORE
spondent dated Skaguay, Alaska, August
%;
The new deputy collector of customs at
Skaguay and Dyea has imposed duty of
$50 a head on Canadian horses unloaded
at this port from Canadian territory to be
used in packing owners outfits over the
summit.
Since the new British collector few
days ago announced that his government
would waive all duty on miners clothes
and outfits intended for personal use for
the next six months, it is feared this
action upon the part of the United States
collector will react on American miners.
The duty was paid under protest The
collector also assumed the right tory p
praise goods at their value here. One
man paid $40 for what cost him 500 at
Victoria.
An effort is being made to improve the
Skaguay trail. The miners calnped at
Skaguay and on the trail are to do the
work, while the citizens of Skaguay will
furnish all food and transportation of
supplies.
There are not less than 5000 miners be-
tween the landing and the summit, and
all travel is suspended. Trees have been
felled across the trail, and no one will be
allowed to proceed until the entire trail
is finished.
There are only five bad hills where
much blasting will be needed. The re-
mainder can be done with picks and
shoyels.
Charles King of Tacoma an experienced
railroad contractor, will be superintend-
ent of construction. There are several
civil engineers here, with their instru-
ments, and they will proceed at once to
make tie survey.
The work will be completed and thrown
open to travel in from ten to fifteen days.
and, it is thought can then be kept open
all winter.
There are four ships in the harbor, un-
loading-the Parailon of San Francisco,
having just anchored with 100 passengers
and $50 horses on board; the Elder, with
152 passengers and the same number of
horses and the City of Kingston, with Ito
passengers and 60 horses, dropped anchor
just "A hours ago and is about unloading,
making the quickest dispatch of any yes
sci in the harbor.
The Bristol of Victoria has been here
five days and has hardly begun unload
ing, as the charters refused to furnish
lighters to land the stock and supplies,
and also refused to furnish meals to the
passengers after the boat dropped anchor.
The passengers appealed to the vigilance
committee this morning, and the chair
man went aboard to interview the captain
and purser. After a stormy interview the
captain and purser engaged the Bjochas,
aIighter brought up by steam tug Pioneer

The price of whiskey has jumped in

by the new revenue officer, who captured
about twenty barrels in that time.

Sowing Oats by Hand.

There are many farmers who find it
an advantage to SOW other grains with
a drill, so as to apply fertilizers with
the seed, who yet think the oat crop
comes surer sown on coarsely harrow
ed surface and dragged in. The reason
probablv is, says American Cultivator.
that thus the grain is apt not to be COW
cred SO deeply as it is by the drill. The
better fitting the seed bed has the deem
er the wheels sink. carrying the drill
tubes and the seed grain to greater
depths than is good for the grain crop.
