. II farmers would be more exact about
their methods-more scientific chow
much better they would be off. FJr
instance, we all set our milk to cream
by the old gravity process, in pans or
deep setting in cold water; mostly the
former, and a d airyman in Wisconsin
has tested the matter and finds that by
the use of a hand separator he got from
the milk OF six COWS an average Of IA
pounds more butter a week by the use
of the separator than by the use OF
pans in a good cellar.
On six COVE this would be a saving of
700 pounds of butter a year, and at 10
cents a pound would bring $l05, or
enough to buy a separator and cream
cooler in one year. Some may say:
''OnI we'll, anyhow, we get that much
more cream in the milk for feeding

were received today from General Miles,
General Shafter and Admiral Sampson
which caused some anxiety and much
activity In official quarters. Although
No word Of any dispatches have been
given out, these in q position to speak
intelligently of them said the anxiety
was not due to any general change 10
the military situation, but rather to the
severe condition surrounding our SOL
diers as the result of the terrific storms
of the last few days. To what extent
.i. ts~.rs we've sff~etod thc authorities
would not disclose. It-was stated def
nitely that no lighting was in progress
up to the last report. 1t was also stated
that the fears that the enemy might
secretly draw off some ferces to the
mountains north of Santiago had not
been realized. The city was still sur
rounded, and there appeared to be no
apprehension on tho part of the officers
in command that the enemy could get
away. Much anxiety has been creatfd
at the War Department by press reports
that Brigadier Gu pral Duffield was
sick in the hospftd. The dispatches
contained nothing concerning him.

MANILA HEARD FROM.
Admiral Dewey Holds the Fort with
Quietness and Decision.


(Copyrighted) MANILA, July 9.-via
Hong Kong The Insurgents on We'd
nesday, July 9th, reported that the Ger
man boat Irene, in Subic Bay, refused
to permit them to attak the Spaniards
on Grande Island. Rear Admiral Dewey
promptly dispatched the Raleigh and
and Concord to investigate. On enter
ing Subio Bay, the Raleigh opened fire
on the forts, whereupon the Irene slip
ped her cable aud steamed cut by an
other channel. The result of the fire
of the American war ship was that the
Spanlards numbering over 500 men, sur
rendered everything. On returning to
Manila, the Irene explained that she
interfered sin the cause of humanity
and offered to hand ever to the Ameri-
cans the refugees she had on board.
Dewey, however, declined to accept
them. Governor General Agusti has
issued proclamation promising to
grant autonomy to the islands and Of
fering the insurgents inducements to
join the Spanish forces. Aguinaldo,
the Insurgent leader, in reply, said that
the 0vertures came too late.
INSURGENTS RUSHING THINGS.
MANILA, July Z, via Hong Kong
The Insurgents made vigorous attack
on the Spaniards from all sides with
little result. They sbelled a Spanish
block house and trenches, north of Ma
Mia, and captured the Spanish guns at
Mesa. There was furious nusketry
fire all night long at San Juan, Santa
Ana, Pasco and Pasayi, the Spaniards
replying with artillery and musketry.
The Insurgent artillery is not yet oper-
ating. About 400 native infantry joined
the Insurgents. The Insurgents rushed
the Malate entrenchment, pushing for
ward to the walls of the fort, but had
to retire at daylight. 1t is probable
that the loss was an hundred men on
each side. The Americans and Insur-
gents are acting Independently, both
conducting their own operations,
hoping to evolve an agreement after
wards The Americans are pestpoing
oprations until prepared for any con-
tingency.
A SPANISH ACCOUNT.
MADRID, July 13.-An official dis
patch from Iloilo says that a German
cruiser which left Manila on the 9th
brings letter from Captain General
Augusti saying that the situation there
remains unchanged. The Commander
of the cruiser reports that the Ameri-
cans expect 5000 reinforcements by
July 10Th, when they will attack Manila
from the north. Two rebel chiefs had
been shot. Advices from Luzon report
a general rising in both provinces. In
the operations at Sierra Capiz twenty
five Insurgents and two Spaniards were
killed.

FEW WORDS FROM DEWEY.
WASHINGTON, July 13.-The Navy
Department has received cablecram
from Admiral Dewey. 1t is stated that
it relates solely to ihs question of sup
plies for the American Asiatic squad
ron. No reference whatever is made to
the reported interference by the Ger
man gunboat, between the Insurgents
and the Spanlards at Grande Island.
ANOTHER ONE FOR DEWEY.
New YORK, July l3.-A special copy
right cable from Manila. dated July
10th. to the New York Journal, says:
Admiral Dewey's possession of Subic
Bay defeats Germany's supposed plans
10 interfere in the Philippines. The
Insurgents captured a. valuable mer-
chant coast steamer named the Phil
ippinas. The natives had killed the
officer of the ship before her capture.
The Insurgents were using this as q
transport in the attack they contem-
plated making on Crande Island, be-
fore Admiral Dewey was called upon.
Although the attitude of the Germans
is still irritating, Dewey is managing
them with great deal of diplomacy.
He does not expect any trouble with
them. The blockade will hereafter be
more rigid. Only supply shipps of
American and foreign fleet are allowed
to enter. The Esmeralda arriving
from Kong Kong, yesterday, with pas
sengers, was stopped and ordered to
sea. The Austrian cruiser Freunos-
berg, arrived and saluted the Spanish
flag first, after which she saluted Ad-
miral Dewey's flag.
DEWEY CONFIRMS IT.
WASHINGTON, July 13-The Navy
Department received from Admiral
Dewey the following dispatch: Agui.
naldo informs me that his troops have
taken all Snbic Bay ports except Isla
Grande, which he was prevented from
taking by the German man of war,
Irene. July 7th, the Raleigh and Con-
cord went there and they took the
island and about 800 men with arms
and ammunition. No resistance was
offered. The Irene retired from the
bay or their arrival. l shall send the
