Washington, July 10. - There was
continuation of peace talk yesterday
and other evidences in this line than
those of Thursday are coming to the
surface. Such, for instance, was the
confirmation by the state department
of the report that the Cadiz fleet was
returning to Spain, since it is scarcely
conceivable that the Spanish govern
ment would doom this last remnant Of
their fleet to destruction at the hands
of Watson's squadron, which, in all
probability could head it off before it
reached Cadiz. it's home port. There
fore, the assumption is that the Span
ish government calculates that at
least an armistice, precedent to peace,
will be obtained before the ships
reach Spain. An unusually definite
report was in circulation that the
United States had been sounded in the
interest of peace by the British ambas-
sador, but when it was brought to Sir
Julian Pauncefote's attention he au-
thorized an explicit denial and said
he had not communicated with the
government in any way regarding the
Termination of the War.
Conditions at Santiago also are re-
garded as favorable just now, accord
ing to Gen. Skaters dispatch received
during the forenoon. Nothing more
came from him during the day, but
the impression prevails that the Span
ish are in a desperate plight within
the lines of the city, and Gen. Shat
ter's action in allowing Linares to
communicate freely with Madrid is an
implication that there is at least a
reasonable hope that the Spanish gen
.eral contemplates surrender. How
ever that may be every preparation is
making for a forward movement, the
final at Santiago it is hoped, which
may begin to-day if Skaters rein
forcements are on hand. The depart
ment has not heard so far of the ar
rival of these soldiers, but believe they
have reached Shafter. The greatest
difficulty that has been encountered
is in the landing of troops and sup
plies. This being the
Hurricane Season,
and the wind sweeping straight upon
the southern coast, the masters Of
transports have become alarmed and
taken their ships many miles out to
sea, necessitating long journeys by the
ships boats, which make their landing
through the surf with the greatest diff
ficulty and danger. So slow and tedi-
GUS has been the service under these
circumstances that Secretary Alger
has ordered Gen. Shafter to seize the
transports, one and all, and place them
as near the coast as he chooses with
out regard to the fears of their mas
ters. Ten days ago lighters were
started down from Mobile and Tampa,
but SO far Gen. Shafter has received
only one. These lighters have been
nightmare to the department ever
since. The captains tie up in creeks at
the slightest sign Of bad weather,
while the charter rate Of $500 a day
runs on. Orders have been sent for
ward to terminate this state of things,
even if it is necessary to lose few
lighters in the effort to reach Shafter.

SHADE FOR THE BEES.
They Need It in Hot Weather Quite
az Much as They Require
Plenty of Water.

In warm weather shade is quite nee
essary for bees. If the hives are in
sunny location, as they usually are,
shade may be easily provided by plac-
ing a board two feet wide on the top
of the hive with a cleat between the
lid and the board for an air space. If
it is not desired that the bees swarm,
plenty of hive room should be provided,
and if swarms are desired a little
crowding will usually start the new
colony off. OF course, honey storing is
abandoned during the swarming period,
and care should be taken to furnish
every facility for hiving the swarms as
quickly as possible so that they will re-
turn to business. Hives set near few
dwarf pear trees are well located, for
nine times out Of ten the swarm will
alight on the pear trees, where they
are easily handled without the use Of
ladders. Water Is necessary for bees,
in warm weather especially, and they
have q particular fondness for. water

DOUGLASS MIXTURE.
for Fowls, 1t IL Really q Very
Strong Poison.

Douglass mixture is composed of one
ounce of copperas, one ounce of sui
phuric acid and half a gallon of water.
1t is recommended as a tonic for fowls,
but is really poison, and while it's use
once week may do no harm, the prac-
tice of using it as regular tonic will
result in the destruction of the flock.
The free sulphuric acid (oil of vitrioD
attacks all organic substances, and the
fowl is no exception. In experiments
made, in which a teaspoonful of the
mixture was added to gallon of drink
ing water, the fowls were apparently
improved in appetite for few days,
but gradually declined and finally be-
came weak and debilitated. Examina-
ton of the fowls that were killed
showed the liver to be very large and
soft, while small tumors were noticed.
The intestines contained red sores, as
though the lining membranes had been
rubbed off. The Threats were affected
with small tumors, and every por-
ton of the bodies seemed affected
in some way. If bird is healthy it
needs no such tonic. and so far as Doug
lass mixture is concerned it should be
avoided.-Farm and Fireside.
