ships aided in subduing the forts and
firing on the ships not entirely dis
abled. Nothing could withstand the
accuracy of the American guns. The
Spanish fire grew less brisk, until at
1850 the commandant put up signal
of surrender. One fort still flew the
Spanish flag, but the Boston, at close
range, kept on firing, and soon 81
fenced it, and the flag was pulled
down. Our fleet again drew off, pass
ing Manila. There was no firing
either on the part of ships or
ports. A conference of comman-
ders disclosed the fact that none
was killed and no material dam
age had been done to the ships of the
American squadron.
Then followed the second engage
ment. The accuracy Of the aim Of the
gunners worked terrible mortality on
the Spanish vessels The Spanish Rear
Admiral, Patricio Montjoy Paras, on
the flagship Reina Christina, made a
stubborn resistance, and came boldly

THEY REJOICE WITH US.

British people the world over who
remember how the American sailors
of the United States fleet in the har-
Dor of Apia, Samoa, drifting to their
own destruction before the hurricane,
cheered the British sailors, who, inch
by inch, worked the great British
war ship to safety in the open sea
in the face Of the gale; who remem
Der how the American ships at the
capture of Taku forts, at the mouth
of the Peiho, could not refrain from
joining the British in their fight
from pure brotherly feeling; who
remember how, after the lombard
ment of Alexandria, the American
men-of-war there sailed round the
British victors and cheered them,
will heartily rejoice over the success
of their American cousins. Blood is
thicker than water. The Spaniards
possess the brotherly sympathy of the
Latin races of the continent, and even
of the Teutonic ones, for political
reasons. This victory, too, is an in
dication that the Anglo-Saxon ace
has not lost It's genius and skin in
the art of lighting at sea, and it en-
courages the feeling, long held now,
that the Anglo-Saxon races, if united,
could dictate peace everywhere on the
high seas, could confine wars prac-
tica1ly to the continents of Europe
and Asia.-Montreal Witness.

yet they excel in breast meat and a
smaller proportion of offal. as the
greater the activity Of fowl, and
especially if it can fly over a high
fence, the larger the development OF
the muscles of the breast, which is
really the choice portion OF a fowl.
Crossed on large, heavy breeds, the
union is usually successful, as there is
less disposition to roam, and the
heavy feathering of the large breed
is secured as a winter protection. A
larger number of hens of the smaller
breeds can also be kept together,
which is quite an advantage.-Ex.
Worth Trying.
It is said by our exchanges from
the south that if you plant the seed
from a stalk of corn that has two ears,
the stalks that grow from the SEED
will each bear two good ears and
many of them three ears; that II you
then plant the seed from one Of the
stalks that has three ears, the stalks
will all produce three ears and many
of them four. This can be continued
until you have a field of corn bearing
five or six ears to the stalk. We give
the item for what it is worth, know
ing nothing of it's truthfulness. II
may be that corn increases that way
in the south where it has a longer
time to grow, and that our northern
season of growth is too short fol
such an increase; but try it anyway
and report your success. Plant in a
field separate from regulation crop.

SHIPS AS PRIZES
The Law of Nations Governing the
Subject.

The custom still prevalent of bel
ligerents in war Selling the merchant
vessels of the enemy on the high
seas is survival Of the old custom
of preying on all private property
found in an enemy,s country. What
fare forbid an army to modest nom
combatants, or to interfere with the
homes, persons or property of peace
full citizens. These rules were
rigidly adhered to by both armies in
our civil war, but were largely ig
nored by the German soldiery in the
Franco-German war. Neither party
lived up to them.
AN army may take whatever it
needs for it's actual use in passing
through a country for men and
horses, wagons and animals for
transportations, arms, munitions and
supplies of all kinds. But no pillag
ing or depreciation is now allowed,
and severe penalties are inflicted by
our military laws on any officer or
soldier who disregards the regula-
lions in these respects. ANY ships of
the enemy may be made a prize on
the high seas, even though it belong
to private citizens. Such citizens
have no redress, if the prize court
decides that the seizure was made in
accordance with the laws of war, ex-
cept to put in a claim to their own
government. This includes all pri-
vate yachts. Such prizes are sold
and the proceeds divided among the
officers and men Of the ship making
the capture. A share also goes to
the government in the case of prizes
taken by men-of-war or by vessels
bearing letters of marque. The ques
ton of the legality of prizes taken is
settled by a specially organized prize
court, the judges of which are ap-
pointed by the government. The
sentence of the prize court is con-
elusive upon all the world. In Eng
land such questions are adjudicated
by the regular Admiralty courts. Our
prize court is now in session at Key
West. 1t is composed of three judges,
appointed by the president, and will
pass On all matters Of law and fact
connected with the prizes brought to
that port by American vessels.

trated on the Spanish flagship, and it
was hit repeatedly. One shot bore
away the end Of the aft bridge upon
which the Spanish admiral stood di-
recting the movements of his ships. He
coolly stepped to the other end of the
bridge. His ship was soon compelled
to withdraw from action, and as it
turned a shell from the eight-inch gun
of the Olympia struck the Reina Chris
tina squarely astern, blowing terri
BILE hole at the water line. In three
hours the battle ended. The American
fleet sunk seven cruisers, four gun
boats, two transports, and captured
one transport, several tugs, and small
steamers. Never was victory more
complete. The cable was cut by
Dewey to prevent the Spaniards from
sending misleading news.

OVERWHELMING.
Spanish Fleet Obliterated and Fort
Taken.
Americans Suffer Virtually No Loss Whatever

The fighting ships passed unseen. The
McCulloch, dispatch boat, was discov-
cred, however, and fired upon by the
forts. The Boston replied with it's
eight-inch guns, followed by the Nc
Culloch's three-inch guns. The forts
fired four shots, then relapsed into 81
lence. The fleet steamed at four-knot
speed up the bay, arriving off Manila
at daylight. Then for the first time
the Spanish discovered the presence
of the cruisers. Immediately the guns
on Manila fort opened fire. Dewey re-
fused to answer, as he feared firing
might kill some of the non-combatants
in the harbor. He formed the fleet in
column line of battle, advancing upon
Cavite, miles south, where the heavy
forts are located. At the same time
the Spanish fleet assembled and the
firing by the Spaniards became gen.
eral. Commodore Dewey waited until
within close range, and when he had
approached to within $500 yards Of the
feet turned west, passing directly in
front of the forts and the Spanish
ships. Our fleet approached in the
following order: Olympia, Baltimore,
Petrol, Concord, and Boston. AS the
ships turned in range they joined in
the Olympia's bombardment. Ter
rife cannonading was exchanged on
both sides. Our ships did great exc
cution. From the first the land bat
toripc which had hoavior o11nc than
the fleet, replied without cessation.

Keeping Potatoes.

One way that is recommended for
burying potatoes is to place them in
a long narrow ridge, after the
ground becomes cold, and cover with
a few inches of earth, leaving open
ings every Is or 20 feet for ventila-
ton. These must be closed in severe
weather. After the earth which is
thrown over the potato ridge is
frozen, cover it foot or two deep
with horse manure, that the earth
may be kept from thawing. and that
there may be no deeper freezing. If
on top of this a course or two of
bundles of corn fodder is thrown, the
rains will be effectually shielded Off

Small Breeds.

The general preference is for large
fowls, but the small breeds have ad-
vantages which are also desirable.
AS a rule, nearly all the small breeds
are non-sitters and lay well. Being
naturally active, they do not become
fat very readily and are free from
many ailments peculiar to the large
heavy breeds. If they are given the
privilege of a grass run or field,
they will pick up a large share of
their food and lay nearly every day.
Although the small breeds do not
possess as large carcasses when
dressed for market as larger breeds,
