GREAT SPANISH Q S
Three Hundred Killed and Many More
Wounded at Cienfuegos.

Wounded at Cienfuegos.
Key West, May 9l.-The Spanish
loss during the engagement at Cienfue-
COS is now known to have been much
heavier than at first reported. Three
hundred Spaniards were killed and sew
eral hundred wounded. Great damage
was done along the coast. Soon after
the engagement the United States CRUZ
ser Marblehead picked up several Gu
bans in an open boat some miles down
the coast, including Colonel Ortiz,
Lieutenant Olivares, and three privates
from on insurgent camp near Cienfue-
COS. They reported that the Spanish
losses and the damage wrought by the
shells were great. The hospitals at
Cienfuegos, they say, were full of
wounded men, and fear prevailed
everywhere that the American war
ships would return TO complete the
work OF destruction. During the en-
gagement, the Marblehead threw 45O
vital shellsinto the Spanish forces, and
700 shots from her secondary battery.
The guhboat Nashville threw as many
more shells, and 1900 shots from her
secondary battery.
Fifteen hundred spaniards were sta
toned In an improvised fortress ON a
neck Of land, and upon this the ships
concentrated their fire, and it was here
that the most terrible destruction was
wrought. During the heavy fire of
shells and just after the lighthouse
was blown up, five S%paniards, who
we're running together in an attempt tc
escape, were picked off by a shell fiou
the Marblehead, the gunner being or
dered to fire upon them by Ensign
Pratt They were torn to pieces.

PEAVINE HAY.
How Capt Self Cures it, Sound
and Bright Without
Losing Leaves.

The value of peavine hay is
recognized everywhere, but the
difficulty heretofore encountered
in curing it has somewhat limited
the production.
One of the finest farmers In the
State is Capt | X Self, of this
county, who has demonstrated the
fact that peavine hay can be har-
vested and cured with less trouble
than any other. His success in
curing it has become known and
he is constantly in receipt of in
quiries as to his method. For the
benefit of his brother farmers.
Captain Self, on Monday, kindly
gave The journal his experiences
in curing peavine hay.
Two years ago he tried the
method as an experiment. He
moved the vines in the morning
and let them lie until the after
noon Of the next day, when, if no
rain had fallen, he raked the hay
into cocks. The next morning.
as soon as the dew had dried off.
he hauled the cocks to his barn
lot and packed the vines into rail
pens ten feet square, having a
heavy man to tramp them in, pu'.

To Return to Canada.

Our old friend, Mr. A Cameron,
who has been employed as general
foreman of bridge and building
on the o Il & G., the past thir-
teen years, has resigned, and is
arranging to return TO his old
home at Toronto, Canada. His
son, Mr. A Cameron, Jr., will ac>
company him. They will prob
ably start for Canada next week.
Mr. Cameron has made many
friends in this vicinity who will
regret his departure.

ting seven two-horse loads to a
pen.
On the third morning after the
vines had been packed into the
pens, smoke was seen issuing from
every crevice and the vines were
found SO hot one could scarcely
bear his hand on them. The
smoke or steam, continued to is
sue from the pens until the fifth
morning after they were packed,
then it ceased altogether.
Captain Self naturally con-
cluded that his experiment was a
failure, but when he opened the
pens in the winter he found the
hay beautifully cured. 1t was
nice, bright, sweet and absolutely
free from mustiness and not leaf
fell from the vine.
Last year he used the same
method, with the same result.
Captain Self says the vines
should be so tightly packed around
the edges as to exclude the air
and the vines should be weighted
down and the pens we'll covered.
His plan is to lay rails across the
top of the pen and top this off
with raw.-Lincoln journal.

For The Ledger
VAN WICK ITEMS.

Van Wyck news is very scarce,
but the interest taken in the sec
ond primary at Van Wyck kept
things from growing monotonous.
Some of Van Wyck's favorites
got left but this is no more than
we expected. The greatest IN
terest was in the election of magis-
trate. Our two candidates seem
about equally matched and about
the same strength, which makes
these elections lively. More O,
less feeling was shown by the
friends of each but everything has
passed off pleasantly SO far.
Our prohibition friends did
what we expected. We are not
only prohibitionists in name but
practice what we preach and vote
as we pray.
Farmers are making good use
of their time during this fine spell
OF weather in gathering forage
and other crops. Large quanti-
ties of the early made fodder was
lost or the quality is very poor
of what was saved.
Van Wyck will soon organize
a camp of Woodmen of the
World. We will soon have the
required number of charter mem.
bers to organize. This rapidly
growing order seems very pop
ular and we are glad Van Wyck
has caught the infection and will
have camp.
The low price of cotton is both
ering our farmers very much and
they are looking at the gloomy
side OF the question. But they
can learn an important lesson as
the situation or financial outlook
teaches lessons that can not be
weighed lightly. We must plant
less cotton and more food crops
or we will have financial ruin.
Mrs Sallie Rives Finch of
Spartanburg, is visiting her sisters
Mrs f ID and w r Tillman.
Rev j A Campbell, of Fort
Mill is spending the week with
his Van Wyck friends.
Misses Sugar Tillman and Sue

vile last week.

MIR Werner Nisbet left Thurs
day for Philadelphia, to resume
