case no covering is required far the
wound, as one or two seasons gr h via
heal 1t. The top should be sufficieisey open
TO admit the sun and air. The best time
for trimming is when the tree is in bloom
and the sap in full flow. Old trees, or
such as are growing vigorously and have
been long neglected, often require severe
trimming, which should always be done In
May or June, and when the wounds are
large, should be covered with grating
wax. If they are left exposed, and the
growth of the tree be slow, decay will
often take place before they are healed.

IL is pointed out that the terms of

leaves to the peace commission to deter

the Philippine islands. Whether there

over the islands Is a question to be de-
cided by the commission. The action
OF the commission Is circumscribed by
the provisions OF the protocol, while the

London. Aug. 22.-The Times corre-

will be called, at the meeting OF the Gu
ban and Porto Rican commissioners. to
the distinction between cession OF terri
tory and cession Of sovereignty. In the
latter case IL seems to be maintained
piere that buildings and public works
remain the property Of the sovereign
power until they are paid for by the new
government. Certain members of the
cabinet are OF the opinion that the COM
mission will have first of all to determine
some legal and administrative modus
vivendi during the transitional period
until the evacuation Is completed.
Meanwhile the government will prob
ably call the attention Of the cabinet at

are obliged to care for a vanquished
foe is a question now being discussed In

Americans who took off their hats to the

carts and in sad contrast to our strong
men in brown. the Americans who see
them are inclined again TO uncover their
heads. prompted by the same feeling OF
homage to brave men.
Ten American ambulances have been
detailed to help carry in those unable to
walk. and we have erected tents on the
wharf where the sick can wait until the
lighters are ready for them.

a Spanish officer; 1T was a graveyard.
