Storing Silage,

have never seen silo built so per-
fectly that some Of the ensilage would
not spoil. writes L. A. Clinton in Rural
New Yorker. 1t is very difficult to pre-
vent the air from getting to the sur
face of the ensilage, no matter how
we'll it is packed and covered. It must
be expected that some will spoil on
top, as that is natures way of sealing
the contents of the silo underneath.
This covering of moldy ensilage on the
top should not be removed until the
ensilage is to be fed regularly to stock.
When feeding commences layer must
he removed from the entire surface
each day. If this layer removed is
not more than two inches deep, it will
be sufficient to keep the surface from
spelling. If the amount Of stock to be
fed is not sufficient to use this amount
each day. then with a sharp hay knife
a section should be cut down through
the middle. The vertical wall of en-
silage which is left exposed will not
snoil 10 any extent. There is ne pos
sibility of packing the ensilage too
tightly: unless there is need Of hurry
ing the operation of filling the silo,
the ensiIage can be left to settle, and
it will pack itself sufficiently. One or
two men should be kept in the silo to-
distribute the ears of corn as they fall.
and occasionally to pack around the
silo walls.

Pruning Ornamental shrubs.

Shrubs may be pruned at any sea-

the aim of pruning is the production Of
flowers, greater care and judgment are

may be seen, therefore, that if these

CYCLONE AT SAPULPA.
Town in Indian Territory Consid-
erably Damaged.

SAPULPA Il. T.), May !. A cyclone
struck this town to-day at 8 a. m, re-
sulting in considerable damage to prop
erty and the injury of several people.
Mrs. r. Taylor and two babies have
been removed from the ruins of their
demolished house, dangerously. but it is
thought, not fatally hurt. The residence
of Robert Howell was turned upside
down, while the family were all inside,
but all ESCAPED. Rev. Mr.. Ray and
family residing in the Methodist parsOn-
age narrowly escaped from their
dwelling just as the storm twisted it
from it's foundation. Other dwellings
and store houses were more or less in
jured and the town is flooded as a result
of a cloudburst. Sapulpa is within
three miles of the path of the cyclone
that swept away Chandler, Oklahoma, a
year ago.
e. b. Baldwin, the Arctic explorer and
executive officer in the Walker Weller
man expedition, lectured here last night
dedicating the hall with a full house.
A severe storm struck the town just as
he was about to conclude his address
and he prudently shortened the lecture,

selves to the cyclone sellers with which
the town is we'll provided and where

The strategy board was in session for

usual, were guarded with much secrecy.
It is understood that the course of the
Spanish fleet which left Cape Verde on
Friday is a source of much interest. If,
as reported, the fleet is actually COM
ing this way, it will be hailed with de-
light by naval authorities. What they
have most feared was that the Spanish
ships would hug the other side, com
pelling our fleets to go in quest of them.
If they come to Porto Rico it will meet
the best hopes of the naval authorities
here.

WASHINGTON, May 1-NO word
from Manila This was the first answer
given in all official quarters to-day to
neWsgatherers, respecting the intense
interest in Commodore Dewey's fleet
near the Philippine Islands. Secretary
Long arrived at the White House
shortly before II o'clock. He said he had
received no news of Importance from
any quarter up to that time. There was
no significance in his call, as he came
to take the President to church. The
Secretary felt that press dispatches
would bring news of any action in the
Philippines before the official report
could arrive.
As the President came from the White
House to take the carriage he saluted
the small party in waiting outside. His
face wore a rather serious look. He
accompanied Mr. Long to the latter S
church, the Universalist. Throughout
the morning no news of Importance was
conveyed to the White House. The
active centers at the State, War and
Navy Departments were as busy as
on week days. Acting Secretary Moore

REJOICING
LAST NIGHT,
CONTINUED from First Page)

Another result of Admiral DeWey's
victory, it is thought, may be action on
the part of the powers of Europe to in
duce Spain to abandon what is regard
ed as hopeless contest for her Rep
reservations may be made to Spain that
she would 90 better to relinquish her
hold upon Cuba than to risk losing all
Of her West Indian possessions and the
Philippines as we'll. 1t is not unlikely
that the representations will indicate
that, since Spain's honor has been salts
fed by conflict, Spain can now yield
to the inevitable and accept the good
offices Of the powers to bring about an
adjustment
In the dispatches from Madrid the
statement was made that Admiral
Dewey effected landing on the west
side of Manila Bay for the men of his
fleet who were wounded in the engage
ment. 1t was suggested in official cir
cles that this landing had a two-fold
purpose. 1t was not only that the
wounded might have the better care
than they could receive on ship board,
in the face of other probable engage
ments, but also to carry out what was
known to be Admiral Dewey's purpose
as soon as possible. The insurgent
forces practically surround Manila on
both sides of the city and with the in
tention of securing control of Manila as
soon as possible, Admiral Dewey was
to obtain footing on the island at
the earliest practicable moment. AS
soon as the junction of the American
and insurgent forces, the one on sea
and the other on land is effected, a de-
mand is likely to be made for the sur
render of the city and, in the event of
refusal, a combined attack would be
made on it. The result of such attack
in the absence of a Spanish fleet and
effective shore batteries, seems a fore
gone conclusion.
No news Of a definite character is
given concerning the loss sustained by
Admiral Dewey's squadron and it is
scarcely likely in the opinion of ex-
perts of the navy, that authentic in
formation will be received until Ad-
miral Dewey has opportunity to COM
municate officially with the depart
ment.
1t is regarded as probable that i'm
mediately after the engagements of to-
day Admiral Dewey sent the revenue
cutter McCulloch back to Hongkong
with dispatches and that the first in
formation from him will come from
that point
The distance from Manila to Hong
kong is a trifle over 600 miles and it
to make the trip.

A SIGNIFICANT SPEECH.
SpANIARDS ALREADY TALKING
OF CONCESSIONS.
Indications That They VIII Make
Sacrifices in Order to Sc
cure Peace.

LONDON, May 2-The Madrid cor
respondent Of the Standard says:
The sitting of the House of Deputies
yesterday Saturday was extremely in
teresting. The Carlists and Republi-
cans had bitterly criticised the action
of the Governments regency and the
monarchy in 3ersisting during the last
twenty four years in policy of too sys-
tematic neutrality and isolation in Eu-
rope, which now, in Soain's hour OF
trial, has deprived her Of anything but
platonic sympathy
Senior Gullon, the Foreign Minister,
in the course of his reply, remarked that
alliances were founded upon interest
alone and as Spain could offer but little,
other Powers could only give her little.
Senior Silvela. in a speech, which has
made a profound impression and is re-
garded as marking a turning point in
Spains policies, declared that as the
Cuban problem was now reduced to a
question of honor for the Spanish
arms, it behooved Ministers to assume
without hesitation the responsibility OF
deciding when the point of honor had
been sufficiently satisfied. When that
time had been reached he said it would
be time to appeal to the European ma
ton so that they could decide what
ought to be done to restore peace and
determine the fate of Cuba, because al
the Powers were interested in Cuba
future.
Senior Silvela declared that all tbs
idealist foreign policies We're things OF
the past; that nations nowadays were
only moved by their interests and that
therefore, if Spain sought the interven-
ton of the Powers she must approach
them with something practicable. fol
instance. on the basis of the Philippine
Islands and with her hands full
Everybody was struck by Senior Sill
vela's transparent illusions to future
inevitable sacrifices and concessions
His eloquent and powerful speech con-
cluded with the plain declaration that
Senior Silvela and his party were ready
for office. if the Liberal Ministry re-
coiled from assuming the heavy respon-
sibilities of such a policy
The speech viii prolong the debates
on the address, as the leaders of the
opposition and Senior Sagasta have in.
timated that they will reply on Tues

1T WAS LIGHTNING.
Men Just Quit Work at the Clipper

AUBURN (CaL), May 1.-The Asso-
cfated Press correspondent to-day Wis
tied the scene of the powder explosion
last evening at Clipper Gap, and was
convinced that the disaster was caused
by lightning. The men in the glazing
mill had just left, quitting work ear
lier than usual on account of the dan
ger from lightning and they were in
the washroOm.
When the explosion occurred, Levi
HILL who was killed, was seen going
into the wheel room just as the light
ming struck. The glazing building and
wheel mill are half a mile apart the
other buildings intervening. Both
buildings seem to have been struck
simultaneously. Nothing but splinters
were left of either of them. A pine
tree and chaparral brush were torn up
by the roots near the glaze building and
windows and door sashes were broken
in every building. The shock was felt
ten miles away. The damage is less
than 81 600 Work will be resumed in
less than week. The Coroner's jury
at the inquest of Levi Hill, attached no
blame to any one.
