Cape Haytien, Hayti, June 9.-It is re-
ported here that great battle has taken
place at Caimanera. on the bay of Guam
tanamo. At $50 Tuesday morning five
ships of the American squadron opened
a heavy bombardment of the fortifica-
tious Of the town. On the Spanish side
the artillery replied vigorously, main
tanning for some time Il stout resistance.
The fire from the warshipS, however.
never Slackened for an instant. 1t was
regular and carefully directed. and Il
great majority of the shots proved ef-
fective.
The Spaniards We're forced to abandon
their positions ON the shore and retreat
to the town of Caimanera proper. 1t is
supposed that later they fled from that
position with the inhabitants.
Information has reached here that the
Spanish at Santiago and Caimanera are
preparing for final struggle, and are
determined to resist the assaults of the
Americans to the last extremity. The
commander of the district issued orders
to burn Camainera before yielding it
into the hands of the Americans. t-he
Guantanamo. and, according to the lat
est auvices from Caimunera. it WAS
feared that they would make an effort
to land forces. Measures to prevent this,
if possible, We're taken by the Spani;.:ds.
The American fleet was still maintaining
its position
Gable communication with Cuba,
which had been interrupted for many
afternoon, but it is still difficult and pHe-
car.ous. The report of the bOmbardment
at Caimanera came by cable. The bunl-
bardment destroyed a little house which
sheltered the shore connection of the
French cable at Camainera. though
whether by the explosion Of bombs from
the water or by explosives used by a
party sent for that purpose is not known.
The cables uniting the main cable with
the office at Caimanera and the town of
Caiinanera with Santiago were cut, thus
accounting for the prolonged absence of
Intelligence here as to operations in t.iat
vicinity. 1t is also believed that the
cable at Santiago is cut, as no direct
news from Santiago has been received at
Cape Haytien since Monday at midnight.
aShlnSton. June 9.-The military eX-
pedition to Santiago is under way. 1t
seems now to be Il question whether the
army will have an opportunity to enjoy
a share in the glory of capturing S;.nti-
ago. The navy under Admiral Sampson
has already planted the stars and stripes
upon the shore batteries. OF course, he
has only cracked the outer she'll but he
will get at the lle rnel if he has half
chance. Today 1900 men are ON the
gulf of Mexico sailing in the direction of
Cuba.
Sampson has been ready since Mon
day. If troops had been at hand when
he completed his bombardment of the
drfenses of Santiago. the first land bat-
tie of the war would already have been
fought and the stars and stripes would
be floating proudly from Santiagos
citadel; but the troops We're not there. !

The Range Horses.

The horses on our ranges have re-
ceived but little attention the last few
years, and Che result Is they are greatly
deteriorated. Persons who have an
idea that when there Is q market for
horses they can all round up and sell
them, are laboring under mistake.
II Is like letting your rawberry beds
go TO weeds and grass few years.
The fruit will be everywhere, but too
small TO be of any value. The major
ity OF the horses now roaming on the
range are SO inferior as TO be OF but
little value. Many are too old to be
broken, a very large percentage are
stations weighing from 100 TO 100
pounds and their oifsprings are gener-
ally vicious. What, then, Is TO be done?
II left alone those that are valuable
now win likely be running In the wild
bands that infest the middle OF the des-
ert when wanted. II is problem that
farmers and stockmen win have TO
meet in some way or the consequences
may be quite serious.
Already there is some demand for
horses In our own state that does not
meet with ready supply. Ask a
rancher II he has horses to sell and he
replies that he has, but that most OF
them are out on the range and he has
not time hunt them up.
II men expect 10 have horses TO work
or TO sell five years hence, they should
begin at once TO provide for il. II has
not been so very long since the govern
ment took the matter in hand and kill
ed OF great herds OF caynses in Wash.
ington and Oregon as they did the buff
faloes, because they became a detri.
ment and menace, and II looks very
much as II history may repeat itself In
the case OF horses. -.

Davis County Nursery.

Mr.. A. Van Meter, one OF the pro-
priutors OF the Davis County Nursery
near Salt Lake City, with three OF his
agents, has been In town for the past
week and will canvass the valley In the
interest OF that institution. That the
people who contemplate purchasing
trees may get some idea OF their nurs.
cry we clip the following from the Des-
|eret News concerning IL:
There are many beautiful spots In
Salt Lake Valley, but Ia no place has
nature spread her mantle of green with
a more lavish hand than between Salt
Lake City and Farmington-rnor es-
pecially in aud about Centerville, along
the line OF the Salt Lake and Ogden
railway eleven miles out from this city.
The attractions Of this section are 80
great that IL was deemed essential to
the general interest Of this edition to
devote some space TO description of a
farming and fruit growing neighbor-
hood so prolific. Taking into consider
alton that the price OF land ranges from
800 TO 5000 per acre, one OF the most
important enterprises In this section is
the Davis County Nurseries, located In
the very midst of this vast fruit-growing
region. On every hand as far as the eye
can reach along the levels OF the valley
are to be seen thousands and thousands
Of fruit trees, many Of them at this time
laden with bright, luscious fruit, while
other varieties are still in vigorous
growth.
As before mentioned the Davis County
Nurseries are located In the very heart
of this vast fruit orchard, and 1t Is
largely due to this fact that the district
has became famous for It's superior guam
tity and quality of fruits, because of the
elegant stock that has been supplied
from the nurseries TO the farmers Ia
that vicinity. The nurseries are among
1.-THE largest and most successful in the
state. There are three great essentials
to the perfect growth of nursery stock,
lviz: soil, climate and water, This com.
lbination coupled with expert knowledge
lof the business are the qualifications
that can produce only the best results
Blackfoot news. (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1891-1902, 1898-06-25

The system OF propagating and grow
Ing Is simply perfect-it would seem
that nothing was left to be desired.
There are now In growth at this nnr-
sery about 100000 trees, consisting of
apples, pears, plums, prunes peach,
cherry, apricot. nectarine, etc, OF the
various varieties that will be ready TO
ship next spring, and 1t must be truly
said that never was q finer lot grown In
any state in the Union. They are all
tall, straight and absolutely OF even
growth and uniform proportions.
Everything on the farm Is systematized
and run on the strictest business prin-
ciples. SO thorough going is the system
In vogue that an error In filling an order
is next to an impossibility.
There are many other attractions
about the nursery from other than the
fruit tree features. There are the shade
trees, ornamental trees and shrubs, also
the small fruit Experimental of these
come In for share OF attention and adj
miration.
The management of the Davis County
Nurseries are strictly alive at all times
TO new and modern methods in tree Gull
ture and ever active and generally In
the lead In securing new varieties OF
trees and shrubs, that will tend to in
crease their popularity and reputation
as strictly up-to-date nurserymen. The
latestand most interesting feature along
this line is new variety OF large lusc.
ious cherry l16 to u that has been Sc.
cured by them. Its chief and most
wonderful quality is the fact that II
ripens about the 10th OF August, when
the balance Of the cherry crop has una
tured and out of market for fully I
month. There is certain TO be an I'm
mense demand for this variety as soon
/ as the stock is ready for delivery.
/ IL Is well worth half day of any
ones time to look over this magnificent
nursery, buildings and grounds,

Purpose of Expedition.

WASHINGTON, June l5.-Some of the
congressional visitors at the war de-
partment have questioned the officials
as to the exact purpose OF the military
expedition to Santiago.
The idea has gotten abroad that Sam
tiago was TO be made the base of opera
tions against Havana. 1t Is learned,
however that the departments plans
do not contemplate this.
The sole purpose of landing troops at
Santiago and capturing the town is to
destroy or capture the Spanish feet
Therefore, it is said that as soon as San
tiago is reduced and the Spanish feet
disposed OF the United States troops
will be dispatched to some other point,
either Porto Rico or Havana, leaving
the insurgents in eastern Cuba to pre-
vent the Spaniards from reoccupying
Santiago.
II the insurgents cannot be depended
upon to do this--and it must be con-
fessed that the officials are beginning
to be oppressed by very great doubts as
to the amount OF service to be expected
from the insurgents in those islands
in natural warfare, then some OF the
United states troops, perhaps 5000,
WILDE left in the vicinity of Santiago,
under the protection OF some of the
American cruisers, which by that time
will have effected an entrance into San
tiago bay.
