OUR TITLE TO THE TERESA.
Thought to be Unimpaired, but Ship Now
Feared to be Worthless.

edfeu 10 De W OFLnleSS.
Washington, \. c., Noveber 11.-Offi-
cials al the Navy Department were in
terested in the news from Nassau identi-
flying clearly. the steamship lying off Cat
Island as the Maria Teresa. The legal
status Of the vessel has been considered
cursorily and in the opinion of the De
partment the title of the United States
to her is unimpaired. Notwithstanding the
fact that it was necessary to abandon
her for a time. as international law ex-
empts national vessels from seizure or
any score in tima If 2acc
From the account received it is feared
that the damage to the vessel sustained
through the storm and the probable
pounding upon the coral reefs outlying
Cat Island, added to the wounds re-
ceived by the ship in action when she
sunk originally are sufficient to render
her entirely valueess: hut as the Merritt
experts are already on their way to
Cat Island that question will soon be
decided
The Navy Department has decided that
court of inquiry shall be held to de-
terine whether the abandonment of the
Teresa at sea was juStifiable, and if not
who was responsible.

THE PARIS COMMISSION.
Meeting Postponed Until Monday
Spanish Reply Not Ready.

Paris Nov. 11.--lt is now generally UNI
derstood that the joint session of the
peace commissioners. which was arrang-
ed for Saturday, will be postponed until
Monday next.
At the joint session of Wednesday
last it was agreed that the session fixed
for Saturday might be postponed until
Monday il the Spanish commissioners
found themselves unable to prepare a
reply for presentation on Saturday, and
it now appears the Spanish found it ne
ccssary to send to Madrid for certain
records which cannot reach Paris before
- o'clock on Saturday morning. and
therefore their proper embodiment into
the Spanish memorandum cannto be ac-
complished before Monday. The next
communication from the Spanish COM
missoners will deal with the rights of
either commission to discuss Spanish
sovereignty over the Philippine islands
and with the American contention that
the retention of public moneys and Gus
toms collections at Manila isjustified by
the fact of the military occupation of
that place by the American forces and
warranted by the protocol, even if faulty,
as claimed by Spain, because such ac-
ton commenced after the suspension of
hostilitieS.

TOMATOES,
How to Raise Them, BY A. A,
Ralladay, Of Vermont.

If good crops of any kind are to be
secured begin with the plOw. If you
have only two days in which to pre-
pare your ground and put in crop
of tomatoes by all means use a day
and half in preparing the soil /.
Make it fine, pulverize it. Keep the
harrow going as long as your con-
science will let you, and then harrow
some more. If The dirt il lumpy, roll
it, then harrow, and just before set
out the plants go over the land with
weeder-one of the most valuable
machines yet invented. 1t leaves the
land smooth and fine. Of course in
a garden the hand rake answers the
same purpose as the weeder.
II stable manure is to be used on
the tomato field let it be thoroughly
rotted. Do not, under any circum-
stances, use coarse, green manure. 1
would prefer none at all. Whenever
stable manure is used, it should be
plowed under in the fall. 1t is the
practice of great many people to
dig a hole and put in shovel or two
of stable manure, throw on a little
dirt and set the plant on top of 1t. If
a rank growth of vine and a lot of
green tomatoes are wanted, this
method will be sure to give perfect
satisfaction. I experimental with
many kinds of fertilizers for tomatoes
and am still experimenting, but up to
the present time and with my present
knowledge of the matter, know of
nothing that will give as satisfactory
results as the following, which has
produced, 80 far as can be learned,
the largest crop OF ripe tomatoes ever
grown. After the plants were set a
good handful of Bradley's complete
potato manure was scattered we'll
abo ut the plant, being careful that
it did not touch either leaf or stalk,
then about q tablespoonful of nitrate
of soda and a handful of hardwood
ashes were scattered about each plant
ard the weeder run over the field.
The same dose was repeated just after
the fruit began to set. This treat
ment gave not an excessive growth OF
vine, but the largest crop of ripe toma-
toes ever grown. 1t gave me ripe to-
ma toes in 40 days after planting. the
variety being the New Imperial.
These plants were given clean culture
aud were not trimmed or racked up
in any manner.

Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with SorofuIa Sores.
cat the age Of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the external APP
plieations that we could think or hear Of,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side of his face. We consulted physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise IN
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. also took Hoods
;Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were we'll and have
never returned. He Is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign OF those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparills, for which feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health

icine." MRS. s. S. WRoTEN, Farming
