DISORDERS IN PORTO RICO.
Brooks Reports Then Much Exaggerated
Bandits Killed by His Patrol

Washington, November 22.-The War
Department has received a dispatch from
General Brooke about the reported dis
orders in the Island of Porto Rico. These
reports were of such a character as to
give the Department some concern as
it was alleged that United States troops
were making serious trouble for the
inhabitants of the island. General Brooke
was cabled a statement of the case and
requested to make an investigation. His
reply is as follows:
Ponce, November Dist
"Advices received daily from San Sc
bastian and other troublesome regions.
Disorders Were reported from that part
of the island Immediately after it came
into our possession. but | have had it
thoroughly patrolled and am still patroll-
ing it. Everything quiet for three or
four weeks. Several bandits have been
killed or wounded by patrols. Reports
very much exaggerated. Every poinl
has been heard from to-day and quiet
and good order prevails.

Should Spain cede by treaty, or, on
the other hand, should she refuse and
break off the negotiations here, her pro-
tests will embody some such declaration
as this.
AS against such sentiment it is argued
that the business in hand is work for
grown men and that it would be child
ish folly to refuse $20,000,000 and that
the Spanish Government could not JUS
tify such a refusal before the Spanish
people or the public creditors of Spain as
deliberate throwing away of $20,OOO,-
600 i'll addition to the loss of the Philip
pines.
1t is felt that the Spanish Govern
ment must now answer the American
ultimat tum. but as it is not likely that
the answer of Madrid will arrive to-
morrow in time for the commissioners
to formulate their reply to the Amer-
cans by the afternoon it is probable that
the joint meeting will be deferred from
tomorrow to Il day later in the week.

national business he was opposed to dis
play. He had simply come here for
pleasure and for the benefit of his health
and expects to take a trip to England
and France and on his way home will
spend several months in the United
States. The visit here at the present
time, when there is so much talk about
the building of the canal across Nicara-
qua. is believed to have been brought
about by the recent concession granted
to the Grace Syndicate, which goes into
effect in October. 1899
President Yglesias, when spoken to
about the proposed canal to-day said than
Costa Rica has important rights which it
has reserved and intimated that it was
not all plain sailing for the new syndi-
cate. Further he would not discuss the
matter.

Schooner w. III. Swan in Trouble at New
Orleans.

New Orleans, La. November 22.-The
American schooner w. III. Swan was this
morning seized by the United States
collector of customs at this port for car
rying contraband goods. Besides 3,05O
cigars which were not down upon her
manifest she had on board, clumsily con-
cealed 81 Mauser rifles. II bayonets. II
belts of cartridges. 40 boxes of cartridges,
one sack of cartridges and three brass
cannon. The ship cleared from Santiago
for a small Georgia port and put into
New Orleans in distress and when the
customs inspectors boarded her they dis
covered the cargo. The ground taken by
the officials here is that not only are the
ordnance and arms cOntraband by not
being on the manifest but they are the
property of Spain.

CARE OF HORSES ABROAD.

At a recent committee meeting OF
the humane society Professor Harry
Wheaton Howard gave a short sketch
of his experience and observation IN
regard to the treatment Of horses
as noted during his residence abroad
at Berlin for five years. in Paris one
year, and in London six months
He stated that in London horses are
treated best, and in Berlin the wors.
In Berlin a small public conveyance
holding four persons, is very largely
used They are all numbered, one as
high as 1880 having been observed.
This style Of vehicle. somewhat like
a hanson cab, is drawn by a single
horse, which Is generally poor in flesh,
and is constantly whipped By the
driver The asphalt streets are kept
wet by frequent washings, and this
causes continual falling Of the
horses. In view OF this one always
allows extra time for probable delay
When down the horse is quickly re-
leased by an ingenious arrangement
of harness and shafts Each side OF
the shafts is hinged Independently Of
the other, and the harness can be re-
moved without cutting. In Paris, he
said, the treatment of horses is about
the same as in Berlin.
IN London the horses are cared for
better than anywhere else in the
world. They are all kept well
groomed The overdrawn check rein
Is never seen, but frequently the
horses tails are locked and the names
cut, and binders are used But they
are never touched with the whip, al
though one is always carried. Even
driving horses attached to the over
crowded omnibuses the whips are only
cracked. The driving is perfect, ard
compels the admiration OF STRANGERS

Oats are not good for young pigs
newly weaned, although very much
depends upon the way in which oats
are fed. They have large proportion
of hull. The digestion of the young
pigs is not suited to that sort of food,
and their stomachs are too small to
handle so much bulk. The stomach Of
the hog is made for concentrated food.
II ground oats is made the principal
food, the large amount of hull unduly
taxes their digestion. Of course II the
amount fed is small, there may be no
serious harm done; the pig may con-
tinue to grow and thrive. But the pro-
cess is wasteful all the same. 1t has
been claimed that in 1000 pounds OF
cats there are 400 pounds of hulls. This
when fed to young pigs just after
" Gaming is. to say the least OF 1t, sheer
yaste. The oat hulls not only pass
through the pigs undigested, but they
positively burden digestion in the eff
fort to pass them on. If the bulls were
sifted out the oats would then make
an excellent food for young pigs, and
the hulls thus removed could be turned
to good account by calves, as the calves
are furnished with stomachs that re-
quire bulky and coarse food in order
to do good work.-Western Swineherd.

Buckwheat as an Orchard Crop.

Buckwheat as an Orchard Crop.
No kind of small grain is so well
adapted for growing in orchards as
buckwheat. 1t is not exhaustive, and
it leaves the soil especially loose and
light. Even the fact that buckwheat
is sown latest of all the grains, and
needs to have the ground plowed for
its seed bed, while the trees are in full
leaf, Is not a disadvantage. The root
pruning which blowing land In mid
summer gives is just the kind of check
to growth that sets the tree to form
ing fruit buds for a fruit crop the fol-
lowing season. Years ago we had
field well adapted to wheat, but which
had small orchard in it. We used TO
note the fact that whenever this field
was in wheat, which required that II
be plowed in July or August Of the
previous year to make a seeded, there
would always be a crop of apples IN
that little orchard. Yet buckwheat Is
so much less exhaustive than winter
wheat that it is a better crop for in
ducing fruitfulness in orchards
