Collie in Horses.

II is stated on good authority that
rs per cent of the horses that die
each year are victims of collie. Dur
ing the spring the trouble is frequent
among farm horses, although it is
usually wind collie but this may turn
into the nervous collie so generally
fatal unless prompt and intelligent
treatment is given The stomach of
the horse is peculiarly susceptible to
the changes of food that are frequent
ly made in the spring, and that in
yariably causes an attack OF indiges-
ton more or less violent, Any change
in food should be brought about
gradually, and so also should radical
changes in the work required of the
animal It stands to reason that a
horse lightly fed for two or three
months Of winter with but little work
to do is not IN fit condition to put
into the field for ten hours work at
heavy blowing, Give horses whole
some food regularly and according to
the work done by them, Keep them
from exposure to draughts of cold air.
especially when very warm; give only
practically insured against collie.
Should the collie attack the horse,
the following treatment will give
relief in most cases, An injection Of
clear water Of the same temperature
of the stable should first be given
followed by a pill made of five drains
of powdered Barh1'oes a'oes, one
dram mercurious chloride and enough
linseed meal to make stiff pill with
the addition of little watcr Rub
belly and tanks with coarse cloth or
sacking if the animal is chilled After
this treatment the horse should not
be worked or violently exercised for 1t
least "a hours. II the attack does not
succumb 10 this treatment II is suf-
fciently severe and dangerous to
need the immediate services Of a
skilled veterinarian.

A TRIBUT"r,

GOO made tne QUITO as ne Is,
Wherefore men should not gbc
At those quaint oddities of his
Which mark his patient tribe;
His gloomy mournfulness; his meek
And dilatory way;
His morals more or less obique,
And exc his doleful bray.
There may be---and, indeed there
Beasts fairer far to see;
The lion, in particular,
Or horse of Araby,
Or proud gazelle, or elephant,
Or doe of slender limb
But all of these united cant
Scale my regard for him.
A stranger, seeing him at first,
With bowed and humble head,
Would count him as about the worst
Bluff at a quaaruped
But let that stranger, studious,
Ponder the beast sedate,
And soon hen count the little cuss

Although devoid of style or speed,
Or any sort Of fame.
Or pedigree, or blood" indeed,
He gets there just the same;
With more than half ton OF frelgh
IasAed on with ropes and stays,
He starts off at jogging gait
That fills you with amaze
To diggings new he slowly steers,
And leads the mining horde
Hes first among the engineers
When mountains must be bored,
Or bridges spun from height to heaght
For trafYics whrling wheel,
Bearing with supplemented might
His pyramid of steel.

Treasured with precious ore;
He climbed the mountains snowy cress
And stole their priceless store.
Promoting commerce where he goes,
The rugged brute is found
Detected gloomy, with his nose
Swung Just above the ground.
And even when he is retired,
A superannuate,
He's yet creature much admired
And held in honor great;
For all the children roundabout,
A gladstone, merry pack,
Lift up their CHEEKY tones and shouf
Six deep upon his back.
God made the burro as he is,

At those small oddities OF his
Which mark his worthy tribe;
No wondrous speeding has he scored
Like Star or Robert j.
He's quite content to serve the loro
With steel-trussed vertebrae.

three cables running to Santiago are the
routes from which all these various
branches spring and If this triple route is
cut the entire system of Cuba and the out
side world will be at an end.
Santiago Is not a strongly fortified town
and it is believed that there would be little
danger attending the cutting of the three
cables at that point.
Right to cut these cables is not doubted
by the authorities, although most of them
are British cables.
The Chief Signal Officer, General Greedy
first advanced the principle that in time Of
war the right existed to destroy property
found in an enemy's territory and in the
case of the cables that the right existed to
destroy them within three marine leagues
constituting Spain's Jurisdiction. The prin-
c!ple has now been accepted and is the pol
Icy on which the government is acting.
When the cables at Santiago will be cut ie
not disclosed. but there is strong pressure
towards having the work done immedi-
ately for, until 1t is done. General Blanco
maintains his communication and Is thus
enabled to embarrass the operations of the
military and naval forces.

ISOLATION OF BLANCO
ESSENTIAL TO SUCCESS OF THE
CAMPAIGN
Advantage Of Easy Communication
With Spanish Headquarters Will
Soon Be Removed

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-The complete
| isolation Of General Blanco from the out
side world Is now looked upon by leading
military and naval authorities as essential,
that movement to be executed at the ear
Hest possible moment. The pressing need of
this has become apparent within the
last few days, since General Blanco is
known to have been in constant cable COM
munication with the Admiral of the Span
ish squadron and also with Madrid. He
has thus been an intermediary between the
government and the Admiral, informing
| them Of his own needs and advising them
on matters of policy. The authorities here
| feel the need of bringing this communica-
ton to an end and official inquiry has de-
veloped that there will be little difficulty
! in isolating General Blanco If the neces-
sary steps are Immediately and energet-
ically taken.
Havana's communication with the out
side world is carried on by means of five
distinct cable lines. Two of these run to
the United States and are Of course closed
against General Banco. The remaining
three cable exits from Havana are by way
OF Santiago on the south coast of Cuba.
Havana ist connected by two land lines
with Santiago and also by one shore cable
with Santiago. The actual departure of
the cables from Cuba occurs at Santiago,
two of the lines running thence to Jamaica
and one to Hayti. When a message has
once left Cuba by one of the three lines
still open 1t has not less than six different
routes 1t can adopt after leaving Jamaica
or Hayti. From Jamaica one route goes
to Colon, Cape Verde Islands, and thence
to Spain; a second route goes to Bermuda,
Halifax and thence to Spain; a third route
goes to Venezuela, Pernambuco. Cape
Verde. and thence to Spain; a fourth route
goes to the Windward Islands, Dutch
Guiana, Pernambuco, Cape Verde and
Spain. From Hayti there are two routes.
one to Venezuela, Pernambuco, Cape Verde
and Spain. and second by way of the
Windward Islands to British Guiana.
The authorities here have with much
labor figured out all of these various means
by which General Blanco can keep up his
communications. They are satisfied that

Colonel Rodriguez has routed in the Car

ed. About 20 bodies were picked up. It
is asserted that among the dead the body

Associated Press Special Wire
NEW YORK, May ia special to the
Times from Washington says:
Every exertion will be made by the navy
department to inform Admiral Sampson
of the location of the Spanish squadron,
and every possible precaution has been
taken, 1t is believed, to prevent informa-
ton about the movements of the Unietd
States fleets from falling into the hands
Of the Spanish. That 1t is possible abso-
lutely to prevent such information from
getting into the possession of the Spanish
is doubted. for there are many ways of
getting messages to Spain and then to the
shores Of the Caribbean Sea besides send
ing them to New York or Boston to be
transmitted thence by cable. The restric-
lions imposed by the United States. how
ever. make communication more difficult
than 1t would be otherwise.
Only few naval officers could be found
who dared to talk about the affair in which
everybody is interested. One of these Of
ficers, a man of excellent judgment on war
matters, expresses the opinion that the
discovery of the order to put the monitors
on guard before Havana pointed very
clearly to the determination of the Secre-
tary Of the Navy and the War Board to
relieve the fleet of Admiral Sampson of
the slowest vessels so as to enable him to
move with greater rapidity in search OF
Admiral Cervera and his ships. For the
same reason Commodore Schley, 1t is as
sumed, will not be detained on blockad-
ing service while the Spanish fleet is less
than 600 miles away from Admiral Samp-
son and Commodore Schley is about twice
