soon as April comes, which is the
period OF departure to the mountains,
the sheep manifest by very uneasy
motions a restlessness to be off. Often
some OF them break over the pens and
start for the mountains themselves
pursuing the road by which they re.
turned the autumn before. There are
records of sheep walking eighty miles
to the pastures where they fed the pre-.
ceding year.

festivity and rejoicing. A multitude

form OF a parallogram, 400 feet long

OF sheep are led into the shelter house,
where they remain during the day. As
many as it is judged can be handled
by the shearers next day are driven
into long, narrow passage, called the
"sweatbox," where they remain all

in order to soften the wool for the

they are shared the shepherd carries
them of to be marked with tar. A
man can shear twelve ewes in day, or
eight rams. The feeces of three rams
often weigh, in the dirt or yolk, twenty
live pounds, which is equivalent to
four wethers or five ewes. rhe reason
of the difference in the number of
sheep sheared in day is not only be.

INSURGENTS NEAR HAVANA.

City In State of Siege From the Land
Side.
New York, March S.-The Sun
this morning has the ca5legram from
Havana:
Arroyo Apollo, which is near Ell
Cerro, one of the fashionable suburbs
of the capital, has been attacked by
the insurgents commanded by Ro-
mera and Aranguren. In the first
engagement there the Spaniaras lost
26 soldiers. When the Spaniards
retired without reinforcements from
the capital the Cubans retired with.
out obtaining the provisions and
ammunition stored in Arroyo Apollo.
A few hours later the insurgents re-
turned in larger numbers aud ran,
sacked the stores and obliged the
Spaniards to abandon the place. The
end of the engagement was a hand
to hand fight in which the Cubaps
charged with machetes, making havoc
in the Spanish lines, The noise of
the musketry frightened the families
living at Ell Cerro,and many of them
| fled to the capital. The fight, from
the first to the final defeat of the
garrison lasted II hours.
1t is not believed here that Aran.
guren with his scanty forces and en-
tire lack of artillery, would attempt
to take Havana but his dash and
bravery are much feared by the
Spaniards, and nobody doubts that
if strong Cuban forces should join
him he would risk an attack even on
the capital itself.
