have several other varieties, some
with names and some without; but
the trouble is, while those without
names have bloomed, those with names
haven't, and so far | have been unable
to fit names on them. This is the
great trouble in buying Crinums, you
are very apt to buy the same one UNI
der different names, which is not al
together pleasant, though it may be
very instructive. The price of Crinums
varies greatly, ranging from fifteen
cents to five dollars. | don't think in
the Florida florists catalogues there
are more than fifteen varieties Of
fered for sale. Reasoner Bros, the
Jessamine Gardens and r.. d. Hoyt
offer the most. The Crinum is easy
to grow and will grow almost any
where in Florida, but it is native of
damp places and swamps, and for
best results requires plenty of water
when growing. 1t will fully appreci-
ate all the muck and stable manure
you can give, and will flower enough
to repay you amply for all your
trouble. In the pictures Of CrinumS
in catalogues, and especially in the
picture of c. Kirkii which appears in
nearly every catalogue, the bulb is

This may be all right for the north,
as it may ripen the bulbs, but in
Florida it is quite needless, and for
two reasons, first, because bulbs
planted that way would get frosted.
and secondly because they do better
planted deeper. Plant the bulb foot
deep, and large bulbs deeper still.
If you dig up Crinum that has been
planted some years, you will often
good deal deeper than you planted
it. However, it is not wise to move
Crinums any oftener than can b'
helped, as moving interferes will
their blooming. So leave the old bulbs
alone, but remove offsets. Crinums
planted fairly deep are hurt but little
by frost, for only the tops are killed
and they soon grow up again. A good
way to plant Crinums is to mass them
plant the smaller ones, such asAmer-
icanum, to the front; then a row of
Timbriatulum or Capense, then
Kirkii, with a background of Angus
tum or Pedunculatum. Before long
the whole will have become a mass OF
green like sloping wall, broken by
the spikes of flowers. Some Crinums
seed very readily, Pedunculatum and
Kirkii especially so, while on the
other hand others never seem tC
seed. l have never yet been able tC
make Augustum set seed. Crinums
may be moved or planted any time
during the year. Now is a good
enough time, so get out your cata-
logues, pay your money and take
your choice. Louis Bosanquet.

canum. But it is equally as sweet
scented and just as easy to move. The
Crinum most grown in Florida seems
to be G. Kirkii, also sold under the
name of Nobilis and Ornatum. G.
Moonei, too, is, l believe, also sold as
Ornatum. G. Kirl1ii was brought from
Zanzibar in 1879 by Sir John Kirk. 1t
is very snowy, with wavy leaves two
or three feet long and about four
inches wide; petals about five inches
lang, white with a bright red stripe
down the back. Flower stalk three
feet high, and from ten to fifteen
flowers to an umbel The flowers are
large and open out widely c. Finn
briatulum, or Milk and Wine lily, is
much like Kirkii, but not quite as
large. The leaves grow straight and
swOrd-lil1e, and are not wavy. The
flower does not open out as flat, nor
is the stripe at the back of the petals
as bright. Now come the two largest
of the Crinums-C. Augustum and c.
Pedunculatum Est. Johns lily. Z.
Augustum is magnificent; it is often
five or more feet high, with leaves
four feet long and four to seven inch
es wide Flowers fifteen to thirty in
umbel, petals pink, about seven inch
es long and one inch wide, with a
darker stripe on the outside. The
flower is about ten inches across, and
the umbel forms huge fiat head, the
flowers growing upright, while the
leaves gracefully droop. The little
green tree toads are very fond OF llv-
ing among the leaves of this Crinum.
The bulb is ovoid and grows to huge
size. This Crinum is a native of
Mauritius. G. Pedunculatum is ma
tive of East Australia. 1t grows
about as large as G. Augustum, but
the leaves grow more upright. Flow
ers pure white, twenty to thirty in
umbel, petals about half an inch wide
and five inches long; flower about
seven inches across and umbel about
sixteen; leaves about five inches
wide. The flowers stand upright and
the umbel forms a rather fat head.
This Crinum always sets a lot Of seed,
and it is, [ think, the most f1orifer-
GUS of any of the Crinums. These five
Crinums are the cOmmOnest in Flor
ida, but many others are also to be
found growing equally well, among
which [ might mention G. Capense,
from the Cape of Good Hope, that
paradise of bulbs. 1t has six to
twelve flowers in umbel, petals about
three inches long and two wide.
There are six petals forming tube.
The flower does not open out wide.
Leaves two to three feet long and
nearly four inches wide, glaucous,
and gradually narrowing to point.
Rosea is the pink variety. There is
also a white one and many hybrids.
G.. Giganteum is much like G. Pedun-
culatum, only smaller. 1t comes from
West Tropical Africa. c. Scabrum
(rough) has six to eight flowers in
umbel, the petals are a dull white
with a red stripe on the outside,
which shows but family on the in
side. The petals are about two inches
wide and four long; the flowers hang
down and do not last long. 1t is in

For the Floral Department:
CrinumS.

OTlHuIIlS dIc' perhaps UHC iho0O o"o
isfactory bulbs that grow in Florida.
The family is large one, and is
found widely distributed in America,
Asia. Africa, Australia and the East
and West Indies, and also in some OF
the islands of the Pacific So far,
about fifty varieties have been found,
and there are perhaps as many more
garden variety hybrids, for the Grin
UNI lends itself easily to crossing, and
the small seedlings will bloom in
three or four years. 1t makes a very
interesting amusement for ybOdy
with a little time on their hands.
Crinums belong to the great family
of Amaryllidaccae, which contains
about four hundred species, and
peastrums, ,Snowdrops, Datfodils,
Paneratiums, and Agaves. Most
Amaryllideae are dubious; among
the exceptions being Agaves and
Imantopyllums. The family is rather
confused and one is apt to buy the
same plants under different names.
One of the best species of Tephryan-
thes is often to be found under the
name of Amaryllis AtamascO, usually
called in lorida-where it grows
wild in wet places-Fairy Lily and
Wind Flower. Stembergia Cutea and
Amaryllis Cutea are the same, and so
are Amaryllis Congifolia and Crinum
caponse while both Names and Pan
oratiums are sold as Spider
Sprekelia fOrmOsissima are both the
facobaean lily. These lilies must not
be confused with the true lilies which
belong to the order of Liliaceae, and
are quite distinct from the Amarylli-
daceae. The Liliums differ in many
ways from the Amaryllideae. They
have leaves up the flower stalk, and
their bulbs are composed OF loose
scales; while the dubious Amarylli-
deae, such as Amaryllis, Crinums Pan
cratiums, Nerines, Cooperias Zephy-
rianthes, have no leaves on the flow
er stalk, and their bulbs look solid,
though in reality they are made up OF
concentric layers. Crinums can be
told from Amaryllis, for the leaves OF
a Crinum form a whOrl like a rOsette
round central stem, while Amaryl-
lis, Pancratium, Zephyranthes and
Cooperias form no stem, and the
leaves come out of the ground and
form no whorl. Then both Crinums
and Pancratiums form large feshy
seeds, sometimes as large as a chest
nut, while the dubious Amaryllideae
or Amaryllis, Cooperia and Zephy-
ranthes form small black fiat seeds.
Liliums don't seem to do well here,
though Lilium Catesbaei-the south
ern red lily, grows wild east of the st.
Johns river in the fatwOOds. They
grow in great profusion, and bloom
in August and September. AS far as
I know, the only native Crinum IN the
United States is C. Americanum. 1t
is found all through the swamps OF
South Florida. The flowers are pure
white. three to six inch umble, very
fragrant, and lanceolate leaves about
two inches wide and two feet long;
bulb ovoid; neck short The bulb is

KEY WEST, FLA, Jan. 18.-The follow
ing Havana news has been received here:
BY order of the civil government OF Puerto
Principe the following distinguished per-
sons have been arrested in this city: Con-
cepion Monegrante, widow of General
Sanchez. and mother of Benjamin, Calixto,
Armada. Alfredo and Eugenio Sanchez,
all in the revolution, the latter (Eugenio)
being Gomez physician; Maria Aguilar,
sister of Antonio Aguilar Varona, ex-
Cuban civil Governor of Puerto Principe.
1t is also rumored that President Cisneros
and other prominent citizens have been
arrested; also Jose Liquias, Carlos Adam
Masvidal, Ramon Bosa v Bosa, Agra
monta Bosa. Jose Mora Pera, Vincente
Ramerez Ledesma and many others,
The city is terribly excited, not only on
account of these arrests, but also on
account of the suppression of Ell Pueblo.
Citizens wishing to leave are unable to
do so, the Government prohibiting their
departure. The condition of the Jail is
frightful. There are no 7mmodations
for ladies, and those arrested are confined
with common criminals.
Gomez was last reported atithe rancho
La Campana. near Sancto Spiritus. There
are many rebel movements in that section
and Remedies. Gomez appears to be
making a concentration of rebel forces
preparatory to a formal advance. The
Government is rushing troops to that
section and establishing a strong line on
the border of Matanzas and Santa Clara
provinces.
It is said Gomez has given orders to
begin the skirmishing policy and press no
fights with the troops. but herass them
until the dry season is over. 1t appears
Gomez will not come to Havana province
yet, knowing be would be caught in
trap, as this section affords no facilities
to deploy his forces. There are no woods
or hills, and besides it is crossed with too
many roads, railroad towns at a short dis
tance, etc. Then, too. Weyler would

in hiding. Gomez knows Weyler's plan
and is too smart to be caught.
The condition of things is becoming
alarming. Smallpox has extended to all
wards of the city and has assumed fright

BIG TORPEDOES PLANTED IN
THE CHANNEL.
While the Shipwrecked Crew Are
Struggling in the Water They
Are Fired Upon.

HAVANA, CUBA, Jan. 18.-Though the
insurgents have no navy, they do not hes
itate when the opportunity offers to attack
the Spanish warships. The latest instance
of this kind occurred yesterday morning,
when Spanish warboat was sunk by an
explosion of torpedo and many OF her
occupants were lost.
The rebels had made an attack on
Guiana, some distance up the river, in the
Province of Santiago de Cuba, and the
Cuban troopsfearing that they would not
be able to hold it asked for assistance from
Manzanillo, on the coast. Saturday night
the gunboat Centeneli and Relampago
left Manzanillo under orders to ascend
the river and protect the forts.
The commander of the gun boats made
all possible speed in running up the river,
but when they began to ascend the stream
they proceeded very cautiously, suspecting
the rebels might have planted torpedoes in
the channel.
All went well until the gunboats were
opposite place called Mango, when, de-
spite all the precautions that had been
taken, the Relam pago struck a.torpedo.
Instantly there was a terrific explosion
and masses of water were hurled to a
great height. The boat had hole torn in
her and she immediately began to sink.
Those on board the ship who were not
injured jumped into the river and made
their way as best they could to Centeneli.
As soon as it was seen what had happened
to the Relampago the Centeneli's boats
were ordered to the rescue. The rebels
appeared to be in strong force on both
sides OF the river and when they saw the
Spaniards in the water they directed a
heavy rifle fire on them.
The Centeneli opened fire, but as their
positions could only be determined by the
smoke from their guns, it is not believed
any serious losses were inflicted upon
them. When the C.nteneli's boats went
to the rescue of the men struggling in the
water, the rebels fired upon them, but the
of rescue until all the men had been
taken from the water.
The commander of the Centeneli was so
seriously wounded that doubts are held as
to his recovery.
The CenteneIi returned to Manzanillo,
where the news of the disaster caused in
tense excitement.
Official reports of the accident say that
the commander, second mate and three
engineers of the Relampago were killed,
and her boatswein, second officer and four
sailors wounded.
The pilot of the Centeneli was killed in
the pilot-house, and the engineer and
gunner and several sailors wounded.

LOCAL LABOR VIEWS.

Commissioner Fitzgerald Favored
as Champion of Socialism.
Most of the local trade union leaders
favor the Fitzgerald bill in general way,
because they regard it as a step toward
socialism, and they are anxious to stop
the abuses that have existed among GER
tain labor bureaus in the past.
Theodore Lynch, speaking of the mat
ter, said: Fitzgerald and his crowd
might make political capital of the affair,
but it is step in the right direction any,
how-a movement toward pure socialism
and it is such a millennium that all true
friends of labor hail with joy.
"Those who denounced The CALL, how
ever, made a wild leap in the dark, for
THE CALL simply gave the news of what
the employment agents were doing; gave
their speeches and contemplated move
ments, thus putting us in possession of
real information"
Labor Agent Ready said: ''This is a
scheme of the Examiner to get our advertis-
ing away from THE CALL. The Examiner
sent Us an agent named A. p Sinclair, in
troduced by their Mr.. A. Atkins. and he
agreed to give US page TO fight Fizger-
aid and to aid us If we would take our ad-
vertising away from The CALL. When
we refused to accede to their terms they
began to work on the labor unions"
P. Ross Martin said: "Bills similar to
Fitzgerald have been adopted elsewhere.
They are one step toward socialism, and
socialists welcome them"
John w. Alexander, carpenter and labor
orator, said: II am opposed TO Fitzgerald
and his bill. 1t is only political scheme
and it will cut many workingman out of
Job. None but the Commissioner s
political friends can ever expect any
favors If you once wipe out private indus
try in the agency line. 1t is delusion to
imagine that any political scheme of this
kind is a move toward socialism. 1t is
only plan to give fat jobs to lot of ex-
haberdashers and political buns now in
politics"
Sam Mckee of the Ironmolders' Union
does not take much stock in the State
Labor Bureau or in any undertaking 1T
may have. He said: ''I do not see what
particular good this bureau is as it has
been conducted IN the past. 1t was Gre
ated for the laboring classes, but it has
been converted into a soft snap for politi-
clans. All the statistics 1t has gathered
in the past have been taken from the
daily newspapers, and as rule the Labor
Commissioners have published reports
of labor matters to suit the employing
class.
"The latter have been able, by means
best known to themselves and the Com
missioners, to have published in the
annual reports just such matter as best
suited themselves and without regard to
facts. This Free State Employment
Bureau subject is savory of political bum
combe, with an increase in the appropria-
tion from the State and sponding
increase of good places for the pol itical
friends of the Governor and the Commits
missioner.
Fitzgerald may be sincere in his efforts,
but who can tell what sort of stick the
next Labor Commissioner will be. And
as to this union, do not believe that as a
