WASHINGTON, July 29-The results
thus far achieved by General Miles and
Captain Higginson, in command of the
naval squadron. in the occupation of Porto
Rico have created a feeling of intense

ON TO SAN JUAN!
While nothing definite Is known al the
War Office yet of General Miles's plans
for the immediate future, the statement
in his dispatch that the troops would soon
be in the mountain country Is taken to
mean that he proposes 10 push rapidly on
toward San Juan. The lighters taken at
Playa will enable him to speedily land
the troops of the expedition as they ar
rive, and it Is believed there will be no
delay in the reduction OF the entire island.
II is said that the Spanish forces Will
offer no vigorous opposition to the United
States troops until San Juan is reached.

CHIcKAMAUGA NATIONAL PARK.
JULY 2s.--The regiments at Camp Thomas
are anxiously waiting to know which OF
them are next to be favored with orders
to proceed to the front. The only regi-
ment that left the camp to-day was the
First South Carolina, under the command
Of Colonel Aston. The regiment broke
camp at o'clock this morning and
marched to Rossviile, where, at Z this
morning, II began loading. Four hours
later the last section had pulled out from
Rossvllle. The regiment proceeded TO
Jacksonville via the Southern and Florida
Central and Peninsula railway
No further orders as ia the removal
of troops from this camp were issued to-
day, but It is expected that the First
Brigade, Second Division, First Corps,
will be ordered out within day or two,
unless peace negotiations should reach
such stage as to result in truce.
To-day the men of the Fifth Illinois,
which was so badly demoralized by the
order returning them to camp after they
had made a start for the front. were in
better frame OF mind, and those who
had absented themselves from roll-call be-
gan returning. 1t is believed that every
man will be in his place by tomorrow.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-Nearly five
hours earnest discussion by the President
and his constitutional advisers of the
nature Of the response to be made by the

subject was necessarily postponed for
further consideration. at another meet

THE PHILIPPINES.
The point under discussion during the
greater part Of the meeting was what
disposition should be made OF the Philip
pines. On the other issues unanimity
developed. There was to be independence
demanded for Cuba; Porto Rico was to
be ceded TO the United States; coaling
station was 10 be acquired at Guam IN
the Ladrone Islands. and one in the
Caroline Islands. These propositions
were disposed of quickly, but when 1t
came TO the Philippines. some diversity
OF opinion was revealed. AS nearly as
can be gathered, this did not relate main
ly 10 the retention OF the islands; on that
proposition the majority Of the Cabinet
Was speedily recorded in the negative,
bat. accepting the broad proposition that
Spain was TO be allowed 10 keep these
possessions. other questions OF i'm
portance developed. and 1t was felt that
these must be answered definitely before
the subject could be disposed OF.
There was no question as 10 the propriety
OF demanding a coaiing station in tie
Philippines. and while there might rea-
sonably be difference Of opinion as TO
the location and extent Of this station.

Winter Feeding of Live Stock.

It would be better where there is q
rapid growth, if possible, to withhold
the stock from blue grass until mid
winter. The advance in grain values
has induced most farmers with live
stock to put up liberal quantities of
corn fodder. This will prove q for
tunate reserve for the shortage in au-
tumn grass. The abundant rains of
early summer supplied good yield of
hay, as rule. The hay market now
is low compared with grain values.
There seems to be no occasion for
alarm as to great advance in the val
ues of stock food within the coming
six months.
The feeder should give full atten-
ton to the subject of the proper diet
for his stock in winter. All provende1
that is put up in rare condition, as
rule, has the same effect in the diet
Of domestic animals as bran. oil.meal

The Pig-Eating Sow.

In answer to the question, "Why
will a SOW sometimes destroy and eat
her young pigs?" the Western Swine
herd says: ''There may be several diff
ferent causes for this trouble.
I'm some cases we have seen a SOW
evidently suffering from a form OF
hysteria, similar to what is known as
puerperal mania in tho medical pro-
fession, and in such cases the trouble
has been very much aggravated, gen.
orally, by injudicious handling. If
SOW is inclined to be wild and nervous
as the time for parturition approaches,
the best plan is to leave her alone.
Do not 60 into her pen at all; it will
only aggravate her. Handle your
sows as much as possible while young,
and nine times out Of ten you will
have no trouble ct narrowing time; but
if you have, make it a rule not to
interfere unless absolutely obliged to,
and on no account allow a stranger to
60 near the pen.
"In other cases we have been salts,
fed that the SOW was induced to eat
her pigs through an unnatural craving
produced by an unhealthy condition
Of the body. Once acquired, the prac'
tice soon becomes habitual, and under
these circumstances the best place foi
the SOW is the fattening pen.
eve think, however, that careful
handling, no harsh treatment, and O
moderate amount of food Of q cooling
and slightly laxative description with
a regular allowance of salt and ashes,
and, perhaps, in some cases, dose Of
salts shortly before narrowing time
will be the best safeguard against such
trouble.
"We notice a statement by writer
in one Of our exchanges attributing thu
cause Of this trouble to thirst, and re-
commencing plentiful supply Of warn
water to be produced for the SOW after
narrowing. We quito agree with the
advisability Of this, and will add thai
every SOW, whether inclined to destroy
her pigs Or not, should have plenty o.
fresh, warm water within her reacl
after narrowing"
Our own opinion, backed by some
Of the best breeders, is that the feed
ing of cooling, laxative food before far
rowing is the best preventive. Farm
