formal reply to our ultimatum. This
reply has not been given to the public,
and IL was supposed that none had been
received. The document is formal ac-
acknowledgement by Spain and also ac-
ceptaHce by that country Of the ulti-
natum as a virtual declaration OF war.
Congress will therefore be asked to rec
ognize this condition of affairs and 20
declare IL to the world, using SPANS
concession as a reason for It.
The-war resolution has been prepared
and 1t is understood that the two COM
mittees having in charge the foreign
affairs of the two houses Of congress
win be prepared to report upon it very
speedily, probably Immediately after
the reading Of the message. An effort
viii then be made to have the resolu-
tlon taken up and passed forthwith. and
It is not now believed that there Will be
any formidable opposition to this course
IN either house. Otherwise the news OF
the day related almost entirely to the
execution Of plans hitherto announced.

sherman Won't Retire Quite Yet.

WASHINGTON, April %. While
there is every reason 10 believe that
Secretary Sherman contempiates re-
tirement from the cabinet at no very
distant date, the indications now are
that the change will not take place i'm
mediately. He has declined to discuss
the question, indicating that there was
more in the newspapers concerning HIS
intentions than was justified by the
facts.
There is no doubt, however, that the
president considers the secretary's re-
tirement among the probabilities. He
discussd the contingency with some Of
his callers yesterday. and It is under
stood that Senator Davis was asked
whether in case there should be a va
cancy in the secretaryship Of state he
would favorably consider an invitation
to fill 1t and that the senator replied in
the negative 1t is also understood that
the Minnesota senator's reason for TAX
ing this position is the fact that he pre-
fers his position in the senate and con-
sidering himself reasonably sure Of a
reelection has decided to remain where
he is.

Mr.. Alfredo T. TRAY, his wife and child,

When the steamer left Guantanamo
on Friday last a Spanish mob, includ-
ing many soldiers, filed the public

Death to the Yankees" Several Amer

upon and treated with many other in
dignities. Some naturalized Americans
were compelled to take part in the in

they refused.
Orders to the Spanish army declaring
the armistice ended were publicly posted
at Guantanamo last Friday. Two days
previous the troops began concentrat-
ing at the principal seacoast cities.

plantations and in many cases burning
them. The passengers by the Ely believe
the devastation Of that part of the Is
land Will be completed before the Amer

Spaniards.
Ordinarily there are 1000 Spanish sol

mounting OF field pieces is in progress.

Papers Call Capture of the Buena Ventura
an Act OF Piracy.
MADRID, April 25.-There were slight
demonstrations yesterday morning and
again in the evening, but they were
dispersed by Governor Aguilera. The
one subject Of conversation throughout
the day was the capture of the Buena
Ventura prior TO a formal declaration
Of hostilities or the lapse Of the time
limit In the American ultimatum. The
papers. describe it as an act Of piracy.
Many rumors are ahoat as 70 cap
lures on both sides. The papers warn
the populace not to be elated or de-
pressed by such statements. insisting
that many Of them originate on foreign
bourses for gambling purposes.
The attitude OF the citizens of Madrid
yesterday was irreproachable. Several
American correspondents left by the
southern express.
Probably the fact that the cabinet
council was held in the morning instead
Of the afternoon, as had been arranged
means that news has been received
necessitating prompt action. but moth
Ing has been divulged to the public.
Advices have been received from Ma
nila, Philippine Islands, to the effect
that when news was received there OF
the sailing of the American squadron
from Hongkong an imposing popular
demonstration took place. all classes
Offering their property and lives in de-
fense of the country. The enthusiasm
Is described as tremendous"
Rumors are being circulated that the
Philippine filibusters are cooperating
with the American squadron, but there
is no official confirmation of them.

The friendship which has subsisted

INSURGENTS TO BE ARMED.
They Must DO Most of the Land Fighting
For the Present.


WASHINGTON, April 25.-Secretary
Sherman said yesterday that it was
his expectation that for the present and
the immediate future the insurgent
army would do the greater part Of the
fighting in Cuba. He added the state
ment that there was no intention of TAX
ing the militiamen and raw recruits
into Cuba until thoroughly Injured to
the hardships of actual military life
and that probably the regulars also
would be held in this country until later
in the season. The secretary expressed
the opinion that Admiral SIMPSONS
fleet would take the first opportunity to
form a junction with Gomez's army
and that there would be henceforth
perfect cooperation between those two
organizations in conducting the war
against the common enemy. THE In
surgents are the best men for this serv-
ice at present" said the secretary, "and
thay can be trusted TO do jealous work
when well armed and we'll clothed" He
said II was his understanding that the
government would furnish the arms
and munitions Of war TO fit out several
regiments Of the insurgents I'm good
shape ana to put the entire Cuban army
in good fighting trim. He did not dis
cuss the report that he would resign
from the cabinet shortly.

Starting Hotbeds.

The earlier the season the more heat
ing material Will be required in start
ing hotbed. American Agriculturist
says: The most convenient way to make
this bed is on the surface of the ground.
The manure having been prepared in
the usual way, pack it three feet deep.
and two feet wider each side and two
feet longer each end than the frame.
Set your frame on and bank all around
with the heating material. Put the glass
on and keep closed until heat generates,
which will be in about one day. On
testing by plunging thermometer into
the heating material, if it is in good
working order, the heat will run up to
over 100 degrees. When the heat drops
to about 90 degrees, soil to the depth of
five or six inches should be put in the
frame, when it will be ready for your
plants Or seed.
As soon as the seed is in Or the plants
are set cover at night with mats and
shutters. The greatest care must be used
at this time to prevent frost. Air must
be given during the day and care must
be taken that the heat does not run up
too high. Great care should be exercised
in watering. 1t is best to use water that
has the chill taken off. The young plants
are SO tender that slight chill might
kill them.

ITEMS IN ONION CULTURE.

Popular Varieties For Market-Yield Per
Acre-The Transpiantins System.
'What are best varieties of market
onions and their ordinary yield per
acre? Do you recommend the transplant
ing system referred to in bulletin 80,
Onion Culture of the United States
department. Of agricultural These que
ries from Macon county, Ills. are an
swered by Country Gentleman as fol-
lows:
The most popular varieties of onions
for market are :White-Southport White
Globe; red-Large Red Wethersfield;
yellow Yellow Globe Danvers. There
are Others but the above are considered
the most profitable. Yellow onions be-
ing greatest in demand, the Globe Dan
vers variety. owing to its uniform
shape, blight color and excellent quail
ity, is universally accepted as the stand
ard. 1t will keep better than any other
kind. and even if accidentally frozen in
storage. If more covering is added and
it is left alone until thoroughly thawed
it will come out little the worse for its
experience. The writer has grown no
other variety for market for Is years
Much Of the success of the crop depends
upon the quality and freshness of the
seed sown. 1t is better to pay 81
pound more for selected strain of re-
liable seedhouse than to be fooled by
cheap seed. Northern grown seed is
preferable to Californian.
In the yield of onions per acre there
is very wide range, from 200 to 1000
bushels, and these numbers are not
quite the extremes either. for occasion
ally a crop of 1, 200 bushels is heard OF,
and it is by no means uncommon to see
crops of less than 200 bushels. But
man who can average 500 to 600 may
consider himself successful onion
grower, while 400 to 500 is very fair
crop. The width Of the rows, the quail
ity and quantity varying from four to
six pounds per acre) of seed sown, the
adaptability Of, the soil and the extent
to which it is fertilized, the attention
given to cleanliness and cultivation
these are the factors governing the size
Of the crop.
The transplanting system has many
advocates, principally among the young
er growers; the older hands seem con-
tent with their success by the usual
method. The chief advantage appears to
