GENERAL GARCIA's ARMY.
The Cuban Chief Is Said to Have Ten
Thousand Men

KEY WEST, Fla, May S1.-Couriers from
Cuba to-day brought highly encouraging
reports from Gen. Calixto Garcia's army.
Garcia alone, it is said. has ten thousand
men, better equipped than ever before, ex-
cept in the matter Of clothing, and they are
in excellent spirits. Five thousand men, it
is added, occupy territory along the north
ern coast near Manita. The Spanish troops
have withdrawn to Santiago, Holouin and
Manzanillo. and General Garcia still holds
his headquarters at Bayamo. Gen. Mario
Menocal has been obliged to abandon his
contemplated attack on Holquin, province
of Santiago de Cuba, General I.ugue of the
Spanish army, having thrown 10000 men
into the city and strongly fortified neigh
boring hills. General Menocal has been or
dered to proceed to Havana province and
take command there.
The Cuban military leaders have been dis
cusSing the summer campaign They be-
lieve five or six thousand men can well be
spared from Santiago province, where the
Spaniards are entirely on the defensive, and
sent to the western part of the island.

CAPOIE PROBABLY SAFE.
No Reason to Believe Cuba's Vice
President Haa Been Cantured.

NEW YORK, May 31.-On board the
steamer Bevidere, reported wrecked off
Cape Maysi, Cuba, was Senior Capote vice
president of the Cuban republic. Horatio
s. Rubens, counsel of the Cuban Junto
to-day said with reference to the possibility
of Senior Capote's capture: II have no rea-
son to believe that Senior Capote has fallen
into Spanish hands. have received infor-
nation that the Belvidere's passengers were
taken off by the steamers Barnstable and
Ethelred, of the same line as the Belvidere
The BarnStable is bound for Boston and the
Ethelred for Philadelphia. 1 do not know
on which of the steamers Vice President
Capote is. Later in the day I may be able
to give out more information on this point
This seems very strange that the Belvidere
should run aground off Cape Maysi a point
which Seamen avoid as StudiouSly as they
do Cape Hatteras. Vice President Capote
left the southern coast of Cuba safely in a
small sail boat. His presence in Kingston
was known to the world and when he sailed
steamships in American waters he meets
disaster. OF course, you can draw your
own conclusions. The coast in the vicinity
of Cape Maysi is not populated thickly. but
it would not take a large coast guard of
Spaniards to secure the vice president But
let us be thankful-he is safe
What is the nature of Vice President
Capote's mission to this country?' he was
asked.

present" answered Mr.. Rubens HE is

One OF these delegates who was sent

/ hardly know where to begin or when

I will assume, for an illustration, the
experience Of a man who went from

attractions, was unable to determine
which to choose, SO In looking for n
home In Western Canada 1 like the
country well, and two Of my boys are
going this fall (they have since gone,
and each has homestead), where
am satisfied they will do well. The
lands which have seen are far supe-
rior In every respect and beyond my
expectations. Lakes and streams to be
found In all districts abound with innu-
merable kinds Of water fowl, while fish
are very abundant On all sides we see
innumerable stacks Of grain, proving
beyond doubt the fertility Of the soil.

cases where as high as $50 per acre had

to advise anyone, but as for myself

1t costs the Government now just 8
cents for 1000 stamps delivered any
where In the United States. One thou
sand 2-cent stamps are sold for $40. 1t
win thus be seen that Uncle Sam has
a trust worth having, and that HIS
profits are not to be despised even by
a bloated bondholder. In fact, Uncle
sam Is envied so much by other CAPT
talists that frequently other parties
stamps, without first securing license,
or even trying to get one. Sometimes
the secret service office catches the
guilty parties, but In case due discre-
ton Is exercised the counterfeiting OF
stamps Is not very difficult, as little
close attention Is bestowed upon them
In the mails. But the expense Is so
great and the returns SO small that the
counterfeiters do not inger long at a
stamp job.

printing and engraving prints about
$S0,000,000 worth of stamps. This Is
over an average of 81 per head for
every inhabitant of the United States,

person writes one letter week. All
people who write letters, however, are
not thoughtful enough to prepay them.
Some idea or the number of delinquent
correspondents who like to send their
letters postage due may be obtained
from the fact that during the last fis-
cal year the value of the postage-due
stamps affixed to letters without suf-
ficient postage aggregated $45O,65S,
mostly in 1-cent and 2-cent stamps.

BREEDING Good Hogs.

There Is one kind of stock that no
farmer, however poor, can afford to
breed of inferior quality. 1t costs very
little to stock up with the very best
breeds of hogs, as the pigs are usually
sold at prices that make them cost
when fully grown little, If any, more
than their value when butchered and
sold as pork. BY keeping this stock bred
to pure-bred males, and giving it good
care, it may be kept as good as 1t was
at first, and pork-making may be made
to pay profit, no matter how low its
price may go. Whoever in any neigh
borhood begins the breeding Of the
best hogs can easily find market
among his own neighbors for all the
pigs he can grow. Should he have at
any time surplus, brief advertise
ment in some good farm journal will
enable him to dispose of 1t. There is
never any class of stock that Is less
likely to become unstable than lot
of thrifty, growing pigs of the best
breeds.
