PLEASED TO SURRENDER.
3,0O5 Spanish Troops and $50 GuerriIIas
 On Verge of Starvation.

Washington, July 24.-The war de- partment at midnight posted the fol- lowing:
 Santiago, via Hayti, July 24 Adjutant General of the Army, Washington: Lieutenant Miley has returned from San Luis and Palma Soriano, where he went four days ago to receive surrender of Span ish troops. The number surrendered was larger than General Toral reported-3, 005 Spanish troops and 350 volunteer guerilas; volunteers gave up their arms and gave parole and have gone to work; 5000 stands of arms were turned in loaded on OK carts snd started to the railroad. Spanish troops accompanied him to San Luis and all ap- prently greatly delighted at prospects of returning home. They were on the verge of starvation and I have to send them ra- tions tomorrow. If the numpers keep up as they have there will be about 24, 900 to ship away-nearly 12000 here, 5000 from San Luis, 5000 from Guantanamo and over 2,000 at Sagua and Baracoa.

in Santiago, addressed to the president of the United States, thanking him for the cooperation of the army of the United States and expressing the hope that the American government will rec ognize Cuban sovereignty in the sur rendered portion of the province of Santiago de Cuba, was drafted by Arms, the newspaper correspondent on the staff of the Cuban general Castillo, who drafted the alleged letter of pro- test from General Garcia to General Shafter.
 The following is the text of the docu- ment:
 To President Mckinley: The undersigned, Cubans by birth, land owners and residents of Santiago, representing with their fami- lies the non-combatant population that sui fered for many years Spanish rule in this section of the island, wish to express their warmest thanks to the people of the United States for delivering them from the insuf- ferable yoke of Spanish rule.
 They wish also to express their absolute confidence in the good faith and humani- tarian purposes of the United States. and in the pledge that the territory of Cuba is not to be conquered by the American troops for purposes of annexation. We believe, and would urge, that our own people are capable of fulfilling the international obli- gation to establish q government for the island. Cuba in the future may possibly become. in the course of few years part of the territory of the United States, thus increasing the comfort and happiness of this people, but now all desire govern ment of our own, as compensation for the sufferings and heroism of our army, anu the definite establishment of the Cuban repub- lie, with Cuban authorities, in accordance with the resolutions of the United States congress.
 We hope that the present state of affairs at Santiago where Spaniards arc still the administrators of our interests, property and fate, will be brief; that the city may soon be turned over to the Cubans, and that our army may enter, the flag of Cuba way ing triumphantly beside the American flag, as Cuban soldiers fought side by side with the Americans against the common enemy.

CUBANS TO ENTER SANTIAGO. Shafter Will Allow Them After Depar
 ture of the Spanish Troops.

Santiago, July 24.-General Shafters refusal to permit the entrance of armed Cubans into Santiago is an extremely wise measure, as in these excited days there might be trouble. Unarmed per sons, however, are free to enter at all times. As soon as the Spanish soldiers have embarged Cubans will be allowed to enter the city freely. The first en- barkation is expected next Thursday, in accordance with a contract made between the United States government and the Spanish ans-Atlantique com pany. The United States transport Santiago left this morning for Newport News with sick and wounded.

Resolutions Adopted i'm Ills Behalf by

Boston Church.
 Boston, July 24.-The Twelfth Bap- tist church to-day adopted the follow ing:
 Resolved, That the president be request ed to institute a free military school in which to educate colored soldiers for the position of commanding officers as was done for white soldiers March 21, 1864, who were appointed to lead colored troops and that the men chosen for this responsible position be taken from those who have won distnc- tion on the battlefield.
 Resolved, That the people assembled rec ognize with gratitude the courage and sol der qualities of black soldiers now in Cuba who made the victory of Santiago a poss- billty. As the climate of Cuba, menace to the white soldier, is adapted to promote the highest development of the black, it is our hope to see the Pearl of the Antilles become to America what it has never been to Spain the home of thrifty and happy people
 Resolved, That it is our belief that the black man has been educated and trained to fulfil an important mission, not only for Cuba, but for the Spanish possessions that are to come under our control. The Cuban, for whom we went to war with Spain, when asked to do menial work declined, saying he was soldier and not working man. The negro, faithful to his master before emancipation came and as a contraband in helping to build our forts and do work es- sential to the success of the army, was a soldier as faithful in burden bearing as he was brave in battle, and now occupies the proud position he holds in the eye of the world because Christ's rule obtains control and The that humbles himself shall be ex- aIted 'J

even one year old trees may give good
results and gain on older trees planted

MANAEING MIX cows.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
I wish to give the readers OF HE
PROGRESSIVE FARMER a few hinte on
milking COWS. The farm hand who
knows how 20 milk properly is moro
valuable to the careful dairyman than
any other help. To milk a COW requires
time and patience. The nilk should
be drawn slowly aud steadily. Some
COWS have very tender teSts, and IL
you want q good disposed COW De gen
tie in your treatment toward her, as
she is naturally impatient and does net
like rough handling. With constant
irritation she Will fail IN quantity Of
milk. As the udder Dec mes filed
with milk she Is anxious to be relieved
of it's ~con.en5s, and will seldom CtfaT
resistance without a cause. When a
patient COW becomes tracEious We can
always tracs it % the mixer. Note
this: We should not allow them TO
stand O long time waiting t. be MIXED.
When COWS give al,rgo quantity OF
milk il is very painful when the udder
has filed to the utmost, therefore caus,
ing them TO become very nervous and
restless. To delay milking at the
proper tine will do more TO cause a
COW to go dry before her period than
anything else. SIZE should also b9
MIXED to the last drop, If possible, for
the last portion of milk IL said tn be
the richest. Still another point: There
are many ways of conducting a dairy.
Among them are: Wholesome food,
such as wheat bran, cotton seed meal.
Always be careful to keep the cows
we'll sailed, protected from bad
weather, giving kind handling, care I'll
milking, regular feeding, clean stabling,
good ventilation and plenty Of plenty
Of pure water. In some sections We
have what is called bitter weed, which
COWS are fond of, causing the milk to
become SO much effected that IL Is
hardly fit for use. I find that by Civ
ing the COW about two tablespoontuls
of sugar at each meal for two or three
days the milk is entirely relieved OF
the bitter taste.

SPECIAL OFFER TO PERSONS LO-
GATED ON TBE SEABOARD
AIR LINE.

CORRESPONDENCE of the Progressive Farmer.
To encourage tue planting of grape
vines ard nu~t-beering trees in tie ter
ritorv along the S9aboard Air Line, we
have arranged with PlnenluH, N. O.,
Grape & Pecan Company, respol slOle
parties. to furnish vines and trees and
nuts for planting, at very low rRtee.
But the agreement is that more than
three hundred trees and fifty vines and
ten pounds Of nuts will be sold to n
person, nor more than five thousand
will be shipped to any n station at
the prices given.
Grape vines of fine Niagara variety
that produce a beautiful and delicious
white grape Of very superior flavor,
will be sold at three cents each, These
will bear the aecond year from the fall
or spring that they are set out.
Cuttings from the Niagara vines
suitable for roofing will be sold at fifty
cents a hundred cuttings; with proper
care, at least one half of the cuttings
will live. They will bear the fourth
year from time they are set out. Cut.
tings from Moore's Early. Delaware,
Champion and Concord will be sold at
same price. AS many as two thousand
cuttings will be sold to I party.
Pecan trees one year old, which is
the most suitable age to set oU5, will be

METHODS OF TReR PLANTING.

Bullaain No Sc. of Nebraska Station,
tells of some oint experiments ny Prof.
Fred w. Card, of that station, and
Prof. H. Q. Irish Of the st, Louis bo-
tanical gardens to test the relative
merits of top pruning and no top prun-
ing, root pruning and no root pruning;
fall planting and spring planting deep
holes and shallow holes, ETC., in tree
planting.
1t will be noticed that the close root
pruning at time of setting, so success
fully practiced by the noted Galveston
horticulturest, Fl. M. SpriDgfellow, on
the Texas coast, was a failure in Ne
braska.
These experiments, both at Lincoln
and at S.. Louis, show that planters
are figh5 in believing that fall planted
trees may make some root growth in
the autumn, succeeding planting, and
IN the spring before tie leaves start.
The experiments we're not designed to
answer the question as TO whether or
not fail planting is desirable. That
depends upon many other things, but
chilly upon climate. TIE growEhs re-
cordea by Mr.. Irish indicate that in
the locality Of ST. Louis fall planting
gives good results, while upon the
plains it is generally found to be un
satisfactory, owing largely to the dry
open winters.
Prof. Gard draws the following con,
illusions from all these tests, for the
conditions prevailing ia eastern Ne
braska:
