LA BOURGOGNE INQUIRY.
Government Investigation mt Halifax =
Capt. Henderson Testifles.


Halifax, N. S., July 13.--The govern
ment inquiry into the cause of the loss
of the steamship BourgoSne and the
damage to the ship Cromartyshire COM
menced yesterday. The investigation
ia likely to be prolonged, as all parties
have retained eminent local counsel II
represent them. The inquiry is most
important, as actions for damages or
actions for manslaughter may be foun-
ded upon the conclusion reached.
Captain Henderson, master of the
Cromartyshire, was first called. AS
near as he could remember It was FIVE
o'clock when, while in the chart rcur',
he heard a steamers fog whistle. Tho
captain asked the chief officer if ha
heard it, and he replied NO" in a
minute or so 1t was heard again. All
on deck heard the whistle at this time
The direction of the sound of tbs slea-
mer's whistle could not be located TN
til the last blast just before the col
lision. The approaching ships whistle
sounded on the port bow. He co,Id 10
nothing. The steamer struck the IN
stant after he saw her bow. 1t was Just
like fash. Two ships models wera
produced, showing the point Of con-
tact.
The ships log. which has already
been published, was then read by the
court.
The court then adjourned until this
morning.

FIGHT IN SANTIAGO.
DESTRUCTIVE BOMBARDMENT Bf
GUNS ON LAND AND SEA.
Attack on the City Reopened at Dnybreai
-Randolph's Batteries on Land Began
Firinr-yyar Vessels OF Shore Shellet
q the City with Precision.

Siboney, July 13.--Tha investment OF
Santiago is progressing, and the capt
ure of the city in a short time is inevi-
table. The American and Cuban lines
are now surrounding the entire City
making the arrival of Spanish rein
forcements impossible.
The idea of carrying the city by as
sault has been given up, and the plan
now is to harrass the Spaniards with
a continual fire from the American bat
teries, carefully aimed. the rifemen at
the same time shooting only at such
particular marks as may be presented
by exposed Spaniards. No general en-
gagement is expected, as an assault
upon the enemys works would be too
costly to the lives of our troops.
The Spaniards show a desire to re-
main in the entertainments ami act up
ON the defensive only. Our sh2rpsaopt-
ers along the trail are gradually pick
dng off the Spanish sharpshoote:s hid
den in trees.
The bombardment on Monday began
at o'clock in the morning. General
Randolph's field battery, stationed on
the ridge surrounding the town to the
east. opened the fire. Genera! Ran
doiphs gunners obeyed TO the letter
General Skaters orders to fire only
at mark, and the shooting was Slow
but very effective. The damage TO
property in the city as the result OF
the bamhardment is enormous.
The loss of life in the town, however,
is unknown, but probably few Spanish
soldiers were hurt.
The reply of the Spaniards - the
fire of the Americans practically am
ounted to nothing. In the morning four
shots were fired by them, hat none
was effect tive.
In the meantime the Brooklyn and the
New York lay off Aguadores. They
were in communication with Genera
Shafter by means of wiswag signals to
the signal corps men on shore, ana
thence by telephone to headquarters.
The New York fired three shots II
find the range, waiting after each shot
for report from the shore as to the
effect.
At half past nine o'clock the New
York got the range and there were
wildly enthusiastic cheers on board
when the fact was signalled from the
shore. The Brooklyn steamed up and
began a slow fire. Later the Indiana
began firing rapidly, frequently double
shots.
All of the ships used eight-inch guns.
The range was $500 yards. The shots
passed over the ridge and their point
OF striking or the effect of their ex-
plosion could not be seen from the sea.
The signal corps on the ridge reported
that 101 of the 1O6 shots fired We're ef-
fective. The last shots struck in the
vicinity OF the Cathedral, we'll into the
city.
Admiral Sampson was notified at IL. As
o'clock hy General Shafter that a flag
of truce had been raised, and il was
supposed that it had been hoisted by
the Spaniards. Commodore Schley left
the Brooklyn and went to Sihorey.
From there he telegrarhed to General
sShafter and learned THAT it was Shat
ter himself who had called the truce,
having sent Major Noble of his staff
under a flag Of truce as the bearer of
a sealed note 10 the Spanish comman-
der demanding. surrender.

Washington, d. c., July 13.--It is pre-
dicted at the war department that the
Porto Rican expedition will be off in
side of ten days.
Already troops are being gathered on
the sea coast preliminary to the dis
patch of transports bound for San

Two light batteries. consisting of
Troops C and NJ of the Seventh United

day night for Tampa under orders to
proceed to San Juan with the first
transports that leave.
General Ernst's brigade, composed of
the Third Illinois, Fourth Pennsylva-

nally slated for Santiago, is to so to
Porto Rico and as soon as the neces-
sary ships can be provided for those
troops and the two batteries Of artil-
lery. they will sail for Tampa
yhe department intends to withdraw
from Santiago after the fall of that
city. practically oil the white troops
now there. The place is to be garrison
ed by colored troops and by the regi-
ments of immunes now being recruited
in Louisiana and other southern states.
General Wyman of the Marine Hos
pital service has reported to the war
department that the city of Santiago
is a perfect hot bed Of yellow fever in
midsummer and that 1t will be unsafe
for any but immunes to remain in the
place.
The department is now arranging to
send immune nurses to Santiago to ac-
company the troops that are to sup
plant the white soldiers now at that
place. Several surgeons have been de-
tailed to go to New Orleans and enlist
immune nurses.

PENNSYLVANIA, DIVISION OF
ZOOLOGY.
HARRISBURG, Pa, July 9TH, 1898.
TOUT THIS OUT AND SAVE It'll
SPRAYING AND HOW TO SPRAY.

Insects do much more damage now
than fifty years ago. This is due to
several causes. Many forms belong
ing to Europe have found their way
to this country, and, like the English
Sparrow, have become very abundant.
Many are more injurious here than in
their native lands, as other insects,
which attack and kill them there,
have not been able to reach this coun-
try or have been unable 10 live here.
Then, too, farming to-day is much
more in the line of special crops than
it used to be. Instead of few fruit
trees on farm, we may have a thou
sand (; instead of potato patch, we
have many acres. In the New Eng
land town 100000 quarts of straw
berries were raised in a single year.
One wheat6eld, in California, covered
10000 acres.
These examples show that instead
of flying miles to find food as in years
past, food is plenty and nearby, and If
we add to this the great destruction
of birds, the farmers friends, for their
feathers, we find that the great in
crease in abundance of injurious in
sects during the last quarter of a
century is fully accounted for.
The time has come when everyone
who raises crops of any kind, must be
prepared to fight these insects and
protect himself from loss as far as
possible. To do this something must
be known of the insects themselves,
as different insects must be treated
differently. Some feed by eating the
leaves others bore into the wood,
and others suck the juices of plants.
For those that eat the leaves, Paris
green or London purple, either dry or
mixed with water, is usually the best,
though in each case care must be
taken that the poison be not so strong
as to hurt the plant it is put on, as
well as the insects.
Borers usually only lay their eggs
on the bark of the tree and the young
borer eats into the wood. Here no
poison can reach it and the only thing
to do is to cover the bark with some
substance, so that the insect will not
lay its eggs there.
For sucking insects no poison to be
eaten will do any good, as they only
suck the juices, and the use of some
/ thing, which can be sprayed over the
tree, which is strong enough to kill
every insect it touches, is the only
treatment left.
The following directions for treat
ment by these methods are given both
in parts and for a barrel of fifty
gallons.

Washington, July BON the basis
of a calculation made on reports al
ready received as to the work of the
various vessels of SIMPSONS fleet in

that Admiral Sampson will receive s1O,-

$4,000 and the captains of the ships en-
gagged In the fight each $2,500.
The amount that will go to the sail
ors cannot yet be even approximately
estimated. but will possibly be as low
as s25 to each man. 1t will probably
be necessary for Congress to appropri-
ate the money.

PLANT LICE, SCALE INSECTS, ETC,
AS these insects to be killed must
be actually touched by the poison it
is much harder to successfully destroy
them. Plant lice are soft bodied and
the weaker mixtures are strong enough
for them. Scale insects, however,
are usually covered by hard shell,
and poisons strong enough to reach
them through this shell, will frequent
ly injure or kill the plant, unless used
in winter.

Dissolve the soap in the water,
which should be boiling, and while it
is very hot pour the suds into the
kerosene then churn 1t with a spray
pump till it changes to creamy mass,
and then to a. soft, butter-like sub
stance. This should keep for some
time. When it is wished to use it,
add one part of it to nine times as
much water, mix we'll, and spray the
plants. The water should be soft
water, or else have some soda added
to it. This will kill plant lice and
many scale insects as well as other
sucking insects.

This is much stronger than kero-

are not growing. 1t can be used tor
insects which cannot be killed by
kerosene emulsion.
SPRAYING MACHINES.
A good spray pump should be own
ed by every farmer as it is not expen-
sive and will pay for its cost many
times over. Most hardware dealers
either keep them or will get them.
A good nozzle such as the Vermorel,
MCGOWAN or Nixon, should be used
and an attachment for keeping. the
mixture we'll stirred, in the barrel, is
made to 60 with most pumps.
Straining the mixture used, into
the barrel, through fine wire strainer,
will prove an advantage. '
The above are general methods of
treatment, and while sufficient in
many cases, will not do for all.
In case of doubt as to what to do
for any pest, the Economic Zoologist,

This is too strong for the peach

while using. To make it, mix the
Paris green and the lime and add
enough of the water to slake the lime,

Good Paris green gives far better
results than the cheaper grades.

This can be used instead of Paris

FOR BoRERS.
Borers, which like the apple tree
borer and peach borer, usually lay
their eggs near the ground, may be
prevented from doing this by placing
wire mosquito netting around the base
of the tree, like a cone. sinking the
lower end in the dirt and fitting the
upper end close to the trunk about
fifteen inches from the ground.
Whitewashing the trunk down to
about three inches Fellow the ground,
with one tablespoonful of Paris green
to every pail of whitewash is also a
good preventive, though not always
successful.
