Wheat and Beets.

European experience shows that

OF beets; consequently, upon general

fore or after crop OF wheat, offers
advantages. 1t does not necessarily
follow that the time to introduce beers

themselves Of agricultural depressions
for the introduction OF new crops. The

among the men was terrible. Officers tried to get their companies into line, but the army of wild horses made that impossi- ble. Many men began shooting at the ex- cited animals, but this only excited them more.
 It seems impossible to stop the stampede tonight. The horses seemed to be at tracted by the tents and they rushed through the brigade of three regiments and then back again, taking a different course each time. They have already de- stroyed many tents, kitchen and camping paraphernalia.
 It is not known what started the horses on their wild rush. Taps had just sound ed in all the camps and the bands had played their good nights. The men were hardly asleep when a loud cracking like the nrlng of Calling guns, startled them. It was the breaking down of the corral fence, high wooden affair In the next moment Il1ta1 the infuriated and pantng horses rushed into the New York camp, which was nearest the break in the fence The rush sounded like a thunderstorm. The New York camp Sentinels began to well Cal out the guard call out the guard J
 The guard hurried out, but it was use less, as the animals were now rushing over everything in their path In half a5 hour the camp had been stampeded three times and there seemed to be no hope of driving the beasts away from the breach.
 Forty men were mounted by II o'clock ana they were unable to check the rush.

the high elevation, and fall far over the Notifications. The ef- feet of the reduced charges was marvellous.
 In fifteen minutes the western battery was completely wrecked. The Massachusetts tore a gaping hole in the emplacement with a thousand-pound projectile, and the Texas dropped a shell into the powder magazine. The ex- plosion wrought terrible havoc. The frame was lifted, the sides were blown out and a shower of debris flew in every direction.
 One timber carried out of the side Of the battery went tumbling down the hill. The loss of life must have been great.
 The batteries on the east of Moro were harder to get at, but the New Orleans crossed the bows of the New York to within 1900 yards off shore and played a tattoo with her long 8-inch ri fles, hitting them repeatedly, striking a gun squarely muzzle- on, lifting 1t off its trunnions and sending 1t in sweeping somer- saults in the air.
 Several times Admiral Samp- son signaled the ships to tempor- arily cease firing, in order to al- low the smoke to clear from the batteries. When the order came at o:3o to cease firing every gun of the enemy had been silenced for ten minutes, but as the ships drew off some of the Spanish courage returned and a half

CUBANS TELL OF
 SPANISH BUTCHERIES
Immediately After War Was De- clared Men, Women and ChiI-
 dren Were Slain.

KEY WEST, Fla, June 16.-Lieuten- ant Colonel August Arana, Major Salo and two privates of the Cuban army arrived here to-day from Pinar del Rio with dispatches for the Cuban Junta. They report that the health of the Cubans in the field is excellent. but their food is scarce. The Spaniards. they say, are 16000 strong in that prov ince, but Spain is withdrawing her scl- diers to Havana.
 Colonel Arana, who is the chief of staff of General Pedro Diaz, says the Cuban forces in the province of Pinar del Rio number about 5000 men. The insurgents hold the north coast of the province from Bahia Honda to Cape Antonio. They also hold the entire south coast, and their mounted fort resses have never been wrested from them. Maceo's potato farms have been kept in cultivation and in the hills in the southern part of the province are herds of cattle guarded by men spe- cially assigned to this duty. He says that immediately after war between the United States and Spain was declared the Spanish guerrillas in Pinar del Rio province went through the country butchering the pacificos, women, chil- dren and old men. whose bodies lie in the roads and fields unburied to this daV

kicked up dirt and masonry. It was magnificent spectacle from where the Dauntless lay.
 Though the gun captains had been cautioned not to waste ann munition, but to fire with delib- eration, the fire was so rapid that there was an almost continuous report. The measured crash of the big I3-inch guns of the bat tle-ships sounded above the rat tie of the guns of the secondary batteries like thunder claps above the din of a hurricane. A strong land breeze off shore carried the smoke of the ships seaward, while 1t let down thick curtain in front of the Spanish gunners.
 The Dons responded spir- itedly at first, but their fren- Zied half-craZed fire could not match the cool nerve, trained eyes and skilled gunnery of the Americans. Our fire was much more ef- fective than in preceding bombardments.
 The adniral's ordnance ex- pert had given explicit directions to reduce the powder charges and to elevate the guns so as to shorten the trajectory and thus to secure plunging fire. As the shells in the preceding bonn bardments dropped with the al- most straight trajectories of pro jectiles, with full charges, 1t was almost impossible to plant them. They would shoot into the air, encircling the batteries, owing to

THREE BLOCKHOUSES

Shells Burst Among Spaniards, Caus- ing Heavy Loss of
 T,ifn

NEW YORK, June 16.-A Key West special to the Sun says: Spaniards have recently been at work on three blockhouses inside the harbor of Car denas A gunboat arriving to-day from the blockade reported that early this morning the flagship approached the forts and began bombarding them.
 Several other vessels joined in the fight. The forts replied. The fight was just beginning when the gunboat left the scene to come here.
 A dispatch to another morning paper says several shells were seen to burst among the Spaniards and it is certain the loss of life was heavy.

dozen shots were fired spitefully at the Massachusetts and Ore gon, falling in their wakes.
 Throughout the bombardment the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius and the Porter, by direction of the admiral, lay outside of the right flank. The steam launch of the flagship scurried among the ships carrying messages.
 At the close of the action a stream of multi-colored flags hoated from the New York. greatly conplimenting the ships and especially commenting the work of the Texas and New Or leans. The men of the New Or leans raised a cheer which was passed quickly on from ship to ship until every jackie in the fleet was bowling himself hoarse.
 The destruction and death at the western batteries must have been appalling. Many of the guns had been mounted during the last two days. From this its inferred that Admiral Cervera had given up all hope of extrica- ting himself from the trap in which he is caught and had removed the guns from some of his shipstO strengthen the land defenSes.
 Admiral Sampson is highly gratihed at the results of the bombardment. He thinks the western batteries are practically demolished. As some of the guns on the eastern batteries did not

From where the fleet lay the entrance to the harbor looked, in che black night, like a door open ing into the livid fire of Titanic furnace.
 A crater big enough to hold a church was blown out Of the side Of the Cayo Smith battery and was clearly seen from the ships this morning.
 Admiral Sampson issued the orders for the bombardment last night. Coffee was served to the men at half past } this morning and with the first blush of dawn the men were called quietly to quarters.
 The ships steamed at a five knot speed to 3ooo-yard range, when they closed up, broadside on, until a distance of three cable lengths separated them. They were strung out in the form of a crescent, the heavy fighting ships ln the center, the flagship on the right and the Massachusetts on the left flank. The line remained stationary throughout the bom- bardment. The Vixen and Scorp- ion took up positions on opposite Hanks, close in shore, for the pur- pose of enflading any infantry that might fire upon the ships.
 When the ships got into posi- ton 1t was still too dark for any firing.
 The admiral signaIed the ships not to fire until the muZZleS or the enemyS guns in the embrdSureS could be seen by the gun captains.
 Fifteen minutes. later, at 5:25 a. frl., the New York opened with a broadside from her main bat tery at the works on the east of the entrance to the harbor. All the ships followed in streaks of flame. The fleet, enveloped in smoke. pelted the hills and

ON BOARD THE ASSOCI- ATED PRESS DISPATCH BOAT DAUNTLESS (off Santiago de Cuba), Thurs day, Noon, June l6,via King ston, Jamaica, June IS, 9 . p. M.-Rear Admiral Samp- sons fleet bombarded the batteries at Santiago de Cuba for the third time at daylight this morning. For , hours the ships pounded the batteries at the right and left of the entrance, only sparing EI Moro, where Lieutenant Hobson and his companions are in prison.
 The western batteries, against which the main assault was di- rected, were badly wrecked. One was utterly destroyed. In others !, many guns were dismounted.
 At first the Spaniards replied furiously, but wildly and ifnpo- tently. Then most of the guns were deserted. Not a ship was struck nor man injured on the American side.
 It is believed the eneny's loss of life was heavy.
 As a preliminary to the ham mering given the batteries, the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius last night, at midnight, was given an other chance. Three 25o-pound charges of guncotton were sent over the Notifications at the en- trance. The design was to drop them III the bay around the an gle, back of the eminence on which Fl Moro is situated, where it was known the torpedo boat destroyers were lying. Two charges went true-as no reports were heard-a peculiarity of the explosion of guncotton in water.
 Whether the destroyers were demolished is not known, but the destructive area of guncotton is large and it would not be surpris- ing IF one or both torpedo boats were destroyed. The third charge exploded with terrific force on CayO Smith.

 The only regret expressed is that Lieutenant Hobson and his companions by their presence in El MorrO made it sacred.
 Otherwise 1t would now be a pile of ruins. The number of shots fired was not known when this dispatch was sent. Judging from a position near the flagship which, during the bombardment, with several Interruptions, fired POS shots-35 from her 8-inch guns, I34 from her 4-inch guns and 3o from her o-pounders- probably no fewer than 5000 pro- iectiles were fired, of a total weight of half million pounds.

1t was Admiral Cervera's keenest
humiliation that his swiftest cruiser
should be successfully chased by a
battle ship. He could understand the
speed of the Brooklyn, but to be ov-
erhauled by the Oregon was too much
for his pride. The lesson is one of the
most prominent to be drawn by naval
experts from the destruction of
Spain's West India fleet, and our navy
department has quickly realized its

regular course of the national schools.
Here they are instructed in the man
agement of the dairy, bird breeding,
gardening, kitchen gardening, cook
ing, sewing and nursing. The course
extends over two years, and at eigh-
teen very capable housewife is
turned out.
Besides these girls schools there is
limited number of purely dairy
schools. These are attached to any
estate where a regular dairy industry
is carried on, and where there are not
less than eighty mich cows. These
schools are limited to twelve pupils
each and may be either for boys or
girls. The government subvention to
these schools amounts to about sis
a head, which is expensive, but the re-
suits are excellent. We have been
paying nearly as high as this in some
places and have obtained nothing but
shyster lawyers and a few inferior
preachers.
OF course for each country the eff
fort at the agricultural school must
be modified by the conditions of the
country. What is suitable for Germa-
ny. Russia or the northern states, is
not suitable for tropical country.
! What is suitable for the southern
states may not be suitable for Ha-
waii.
Take taro cultivation. How many
young natives understand it. If one
! buys taro land, is is some old ma
| tive that one would have to engage In
order to make it a success. There is
no reason why the young Hawaiians
should not learn to plant it well and
to look after it properly after it has
been planted. The same is true OF
many of the native food crops.
Again there is no reason why api
aries should not be established. Bees
do well in this country, and the honey
is pure, sweet and good In many
places attached to schools grapes nigh
be cultivated. And in the regular gar
den schools there should be thorough
training in viticulture and in wine
making. But all this presupposes tina
the teachers understand how to in
struct in such matters, and teacher
who have had only a normal training
for brain work are not likely to max
a success of even small gardens at
tached to country school houses. Yo
want to teach the teachers before yo1
can teach the children.

GARDEN SCHOOLS.

We are on the point of a new de-
parture in our school system and it is
well to look round and see what 9TH
er countries are doing. Inquiries
from Massachusetts have called forth
a long report from various consuls in
Russia upon the so called gardeners
schools of that country. In this con-
nection praise must be given to the
United States consular department
for the readiness with which informa-
ton is obtained from any required
part of the world and the rapidity
with which it is placed before the
public. This is reform of the pres
ent administration.
The garden schools of Russia date
from law enacted in December, 1888.
Their aim is to spread among the
population the fundamental princi-
pies of farming and of the trades con-
nected Herewith, principally by prac-
teal studies and work. Pupils who
work on the farm attached to the
school work for one year gratis, after
that they may have a small wage
They are admitted at the age of four
teen and must have passed through
the course of the ordinary village
school. In order to supply proper in
struction in rural industry special
classes, during the summer months,
have been opened for the teachers of
the national schools. This is in the
direction of our summer school, but
the teachers are put to work in the
fields and made to learn agriculture
from a practical standpoint. Besides
this, lectures are giving in practical
chemistry and natural science. There
is no theory in this work, the teacher
has to perspire in the field and work
with his hands as well as with his
brain.
There are also special schools estab-
lished for girls. In these the girls are
not received under sixteen, and each
pupil must have had training in the
