the base of the fruit and will pro-
duce fruit when from eighteen to
twenty months old. The suckers
which grow from the body of the
old plant will mature in from a
year TO fourteen months.
Set as deep as possible, without
covering the tops,-that is, with
out getting soil into the centre or

Returns Warmest Thanks for the As
sociated Press Message to Him.
CHICAGO, July THE following has
been received from Lieut. Hobsol's father
in answer to message telling of the hero's
safe exchange:
GREENSBORO, Ala, July Ito the AS
sociated Press: Accept warmest thanks for
your kind message. 1t has lifted from our
minds heavy weight of anxiety.
(Signed) JAMES NJ. HOBSON.
GREENSBORO, Ala. July lit was
diminutive lad who carries messages for
the telegraph company ran up the walk
and into the house of James NJ. Hobson,
bearing an Associated Press telegram.
Mr.. Hobson threw down his morning pa
per and. opening the envelope, hastily
read its contents. His face flushed with
pleasure, and he stepped quickly to another
part of the house, calling Mrs. Hobsons
name as he went. She soon responded,
and in a twinkling the family was in pos
session of the information that their brave
son Richmond. who sailed the Merrimac
into the harbor of Santiago, had been ex-
| changed and is now in the hands of his
friends.
The family were overjoyed and for a
moment tears came to the eyes of the
aged mother. Mr.. Hobson then inscribed
this telegram to the Associated Press.
Accept warmest thanks for your kind
| message. 1t has lifted from our minds a
| heavy weight of anxiety"
The little town was soon informed of the
| good news. and business was suspended
| while the tidings were discussed and spec
ulation engaged in as to how soon Green's
boro' would see the hero of the Merrimac.

THE SOLDIERS CONDITION.
Only Two Deaths Among 1000
Wounded Men at Sfboney.


Copyright, 1895. by the Associated Press
Camp Siboney, Tuesday, July 8, per the
Associated Press Dispatch Boat Dauntless,
via Port Antonio.-The general health of
the United States troops is excellent. Not
a case OF yellow fever is reported, despite
the fact that Santiago de Cuba is recog-
nized as a great fever focus as far as Rio
Santos.
Of over 1000 wounded treated in this d.
vision hospital only two have died-John
Myers. Company c. 9th Infantry, whose
limb was amputated at the thigh, and Pri-
vate James E. Mccartney of the same COM
pany and regiment, who succumbed to a
brain operation. Both were buried this
morning after religious service.
There have been no cases of blood poison
irg.
The behavior Of the patients and wound
ed is heroic. There is not a moan or a
murmur among the whole 200. Last night
many were lying on the hard ground out
side the tents. Surgeons and nurses work
ed INCREASINGLY for forty-eight hours with
out rest or meals, and there are 200 wound
ed yet to come from the field. The hos
pital corps is shorthanded and doctors from
the vessels of the fleet are working day
and night.
The wounds show that the Spaniards are
not only using explosive bullets, but also
brass-covered bullets with the ends filed
The latter make most ghastly ounds. as
when they strike the brass lining spreads
out, tearing the flesh like barbed wire
The Spanish sharpshooters are firing at
the Red Cross Society people and at the
ambulances. They shot one driver who was
returning with wounded.
The raging surf makes the shipment of
the wounded to the transports and hos
pital ships more difficult, as there is no
pier and the landing facilities are meager.

READY FOR BoMBARDMENT.
Artillerymen Confident They Cnl
Silence the Spanish Guns.

Artiiierymen Confident They Can
Silence the Spanish Guns.
copyright. 1898, by the Associated Press1
Headquarters in the Field, Before Santi-
ago, Monday, July 4, pm, via Kingston
Jamaica, Wednesday morning, July 6.-The
artillery has remained in position through
out the day on the ridge above Ell Pozo
two miles east Of Santiago, WHARF it was
placed yesterday morning with = view OF
taking part in the bombardment of the city.
The artillerymen have made preparations
to resist fierce return fire from the Span
ish siege guns, which are mounted on the
outskirts of the town. and which have
shown they possess good gunners and ac-
curate range finders. Pits have bean dug
for the men and the horses have been re-
moved to a place of safety, where it is
thought The Spanish guns will not be abls
to reach them.
Capt. Capron's battery was withdrawn
from the hill last night and sent behind
Gen. LAWYERS position, from which place it
will have cross fire with the batteries on
Ell Pozo ridge, and at the same time BE-
able to shell the north end Of the town.
The artillery officers are confident they
will be able, when the bombardment begins,
to silence the Spanish guns and to reduce
the forward rush of our troops will meet
with little or nothing bsyond rife fire, and
they are confident the city can be taken as
soon as they are permitted to open fire and
to take a hand in the battle.

The Incidents attending tn. death Of
Lieut.. Ord son of the late Gen e. o. C.
Ord, We're dramatic. He was an aid on
the staff of Gen. Hawkins, and throughout
the day of the battle was active and ener-
getic In getting the troops up to the line.
He was right in the front rank when the
9th, 18th, oath and 10th regiments made
their desperate charge on San Juan hill,
and was one of the first officers to reach
the summit.
Just as he passed the brow of the hill
he saw Spaniard lying on the ground,
and pointing to him he said: Take care of
that man."
The Spaniard saw the motion, and evil
IDENTIFY thinking Lieut.. Ord was ordering
him killed he raised his rifle and shot the
lieutenant dead.
The soldiers of the 9th Infantry, as Lieut..
Ord was an officer of that regiment and
very popular with the men, were wild with
rage and literally tore the body of the
Spaniard to pieces with bullets. Then they
kicked it into a trench.
The trenches have been deepened and i'm
proved, masked batteries set and much
needed sand bags taken to the front. The
army maintains the same position and for
nation as when the battle ceased
The arrival of Gen. Miles and reinforce
ments is beginning to be looked for anx-
iously by officers and men. The losses
have been SO heavy and the slow advance
against odds is so dtsheartening that all
seem willing to settle down to a siege and
abandon the attempt to take a fortified
city without cavalry or adequate artillery.
There is every Indication that Gen. Shaf-
ter intends to try to force the enemy to
come out and attack. All the preparations
during the armistice have been toward
Strengthening and fortifying the present
position of his army.
