Experiments with artichokcs as n fod-

About an acre Of them were planted last
spring They are put in drills about two
feet apart, and have grown to about four
or Ave feet In length. One familiar with
the plant would hardly recognize it in n
cultivated state. The stalks and leaves
are smaller and of n darker color than
tho wild variety, and the roots are much
larger. resembling sweet potatoes some

expected that the plant will prove ot
great value as Il fodder for cattle. 1t will
yield more to the acre than any other va

are used. When the crop is harvested in
the fall. the roots are cut of and fed the
same as potatoes to either cattle or hogs.
The tops are put into the sllo, and 1t is
claimed that cows do exceptionally we'll

Washington, May 25.-One hundred
and twelve thousand men have now
been mustered into the volunteer army

ports show that the greater nutnher Of

Over two-thirds of the States have en-
tirely completed their musters. and
should the emergency arise arc prepared
to begin anew the work just completed.
The failure of some of the States to

time is a surprise to the army officers
on duty here, but is Inscribed not to

ably shared by many of the national
guurdsmen who had homo ties snd bust

Ample time will DO givon the States

expectation here is that this will be &C
cnmplishd without further unnecessary
delay. .-.

SPANISH FLEET IS HEMMED IN.

No Doubt Felt in Washington That Its
Escape IS Practically impossible.
Washington, May %. There seems
to be no longer auy doubt that tho
Spanish feat now 10 Santiago harbor
Is hemmed 10 by Commodore Schley'a
squadron and that it's escape is almost,
ii not quite, impossible. Members Of
the cabinet are exultant over to-day's
news, aud although they are not willing
to make public the source Of their in
formal ion they regard it as perfectly
Trustworthy. They are not willing TO
state that exact position OF siampson's
fleet, but say that 1t is ncting in con
cert with Schley and can come to bis
relief at any time should the situation
require it.
ihs published report that another
and more formidable fleet IL on route
from Cadiz to the relief OF the impris-
oned squadron In not credited by mem
bsrs OF the administration, but should
this provo to be the fact the move
would be welcomed by our naval
authorities. as it would certainly re.
sult, it Ia said, in the destruction oil
the two facts instead OF one.
Ii ia Huthoritatively stated that the
situation of Santiago harbor IL such
that our gunhoats, which are available
for the purpose, could successfully pre-
vent the escape Of the Spaniards, thus
relieving a considerable part OF both
| Samrson's and Schley's fleets for opera
tions elsewhere. .s.
Members of the administration regard

for our cause, and do not doubt that u
very short time the Spanish fleet WI
be utterly destroyed, and active ,opsr,a
