G. 7. Smith brought a sample of
strawberries to this office from his
near Storrs last Wednesday
that are simply superb. A dozen
of them fills a quart jar. They are
of the Sharpless variety, and they
reflect credit upon the country they
were grown in and the man that
raised them. We have preserved
them in alcohol, and they will make
a part of Lincoln county's ex-
hibit at the Portland Exposition
this fall.
The celebration committees of

TANiARDs HAVE Pnor,rnD.

One thing Is becoming very apparent
from the accounts that are latterly re-
ceivod of engagements between our gun
boats and small cruisers and the shore
batteries in Cuba--the coast Notifications
have been greatly improved at all the Gu
ban ports since the war began. 1t viii take
more power and effort and require a greater
sacrifice Of life on our part now to reduce
the coast defenses of the island than would
have been required ten days ago.
1t was generally understood that all the
Spanish towns In the West Indies were
practically defenseless at the outbreak of
the war. Sampson was said to have wanted
TO begin the active demolition OF these
coast forts from the first. but was re-
strained Finally 1t was at his request that
the admiral was permitted to go in search
of the Cape Verde fleet. Sampson and all
his officers have advised vigorous assaults
from the beginning If correspondents at
Key West and in Cuban waters are to be
believed
The feet however. has been held In
check while The spanlards have been bend
ing every energy to improve their conit
defenscs- and have evidently succeeded
Why7 The official answer has bsen that
We could not risk the ships against the
forts until the Spanish fleet had been dis
posed ofand yet we see they have been
rlsked at San Juan. II this has really been
the cause OF delay, all well and good But
was 1t the real reason?
There is undeniably a growing suspicion
voiced by the press at large that the ad
mnls,ratlou was not DESTROYS of rapid
movement of tho navy and army, and the
possible collapse of the war. before the
bond Issue became an accomplished fact
In the face Of the possibility OF a speedy
termination of hostiites congress might
not sec the necessity for n large bond ia
sue, and the treasury would be forced To
depend on It's cash or temporary expedients.
The bond issue once authorized, the milf
tary and naval movements would b. pushed
with extra vigor,
This may or may not be the cnuse of
the delays that are giving Spain such ex-
cellent opportunities to strengthen her
self. but the suspicion mentioned Is not
without weight and apparent basis The
seeming confusion and indecsion at Wash
ington have created no little criticism not
alone By the public, but in military aud
naval circles. This criticism may be unjust.
but certain It is that our policy has been
advantageous to the Spaniards

have not been Idle. The vast population and
wide domains OF the Dark Continent are

tion schemes will soon transform the big
continent into the home Of intelligence,
progress. commerce and industry. what
the effect will be upon the world at large
can only be imagined.
This restless European energy, howover,
that is being exhibited In the Dark Con-
tinent, Ia seen also In Asia and the is
lands Of the sea. Russia is pushing Its rail-
ways through Siberia and into China, while
France, Germany, England and Russia are
preparing to divide up the Far East These
political changes will mean great CONNER

years are likely to show the most remark-
able commercial development, In fact, In
all parts OF the world that has been Wit
messed since the discovery of America
What part will the United States play in
this great drama? VIII we get into the
scramble and draw some of the prizes and

AN AGRICULTURAL AwAKry,yG.

One OF the most gratifying features OF
the development which is In progress in
the Texas coast region, is the interest
which Ia being displayed by the farmers in
tho matter OF diversiicatlon OF crops and
the very general disposition to add such
new products as will yield Immediate re-
turns of cash
The cash crop Of the past. the great
staple OF the State, has sunk to money
value that affords but little pront. Espn-
claily Is this true when the farmer Is com
PEELED to buy his food crops from other
parts OF the West and pay big prices for
his purchases, 1t would naturally not 10.
qnire a long experience in that direction to
suggest a change. And manlfestly the only
change possible Is to raise at home the
food for the family and the feed for the
stock, or to add to the cotton crop some
other home grown commodity that VIII
command cash and good profits,
For this reason we see the experiments
that are now being made on large scale
In planting tobacco In trying AJAX and I'm
devotlng larger acreage to corn and other
food crops than heretofore. Yesterdays
Post shows that attention Is being turned
TO the possibility of raising good grade
of wheat In the coast region. There appears
to be general conviction, based on OK =
rerience In the past. that II the rlght kind
Of grain for this Southern climate is oh
tanned wheat can be made profitable
crop In the Texas coast country.
These various experiments and activity
In new directions clearly Indicate that an
awakening has occurred among our South
Texas agriculturists that promises great
things for the whole region. All we nsei
to secure results is the awakenlng--the
soil and climate furnish unlimited oppor-
tunities. Grain of all kinds, cotton. tobacco.
sugar flax, fruits and vegetables can be
cultivated In large quantities and at a
proft. To confne the energies of the sec
uon, therefore, to any one crop would be
the height Of folly and the worst OF man
agement. 1t would be to deliberately turn
our backs on wealth and independence
i Is hoped the wide-awake farmers and
the business men Of the South Texas towns
VIII keep up the agitation begun for new
paying crops until the magnificent re-
sources and diversified possibilities Of the
section will be fully drawn upon.
