SENDS in His Resignation to Avoid Having
TO Surrender.
Madrid. Aug. 1.-THE governme Mt has
received from Captain General Blanco q
dispatch rendering his resignation. The
reason given by General Blanco for re-
signing is that he does not wish to su-
perinteRd the evacuation of Cuba. The
government is also Informed and Cen
eral Augustin. governor general of the
Philippines, will leave Manila for Spain
by the first mail steamer. giving his
command to the second in rank. This
may account for the arrival of Augustin
at Hong Kong.l
Madrid, Aug. 16.-Duke AlmodoVar de
Rio has received an intimation that the
Cuban blockade has been raised and ca
Bile communication restored. Numerous
vessels are being prepared in Spanish
ports to take provisions to Cuba. The
next cabinet council will consider the
question of summoning the cortes. Senior
Sagasta, the premier, is hopeful that the
ministers will be agreed upon this point
The news of peace was heartily well
coined in the Spanish coast towns, and
the families who fed. fearing an at
tack by Commodore Watson, are now
returning.
Hong Kong, Aug. 1.-THE Spanish
consul here has not yet sent to Manila
the news that the protocol has been
signed, and probably the Spaniards at
Manila will discredit the account to be
brought them by the British steamer
Australian. as she was chartered by the
Americans. Tha opinion here is that
the Germans have arranged matters
with Captain General Augustin. The iH-
surgents now at Hong koHs are not sat
isaed with the terms Of peacs proposed
by the Americans.

sUTROs ESTATE INsOLvENT.
Trustees Say 1t VIII BE Swamped II They
Are Not Given Time.

San Francisco, Aug. 16.-The Evening
Post says that the s3.0Oo,00O estate OF
the late Adelph Sutro is insolvent and
that unless the creditors agree to with
draw their claims for the time being
the estate will be hopelessly swamped.
Much of Sutro's property is mortgaged,
and the interest and other necessary
expenditures are eating the estate UP
very rapidly.
The executors of the estate say that
if time is given them every possible
demand viii be met and that there will
be a large residue for the heirs. The
attorneys for the Sutro estate deny that
there is another will and say that Mrs.
Klugs's claims are gToundless.

CLEANING UP THINGS.
No Time of the Year Is Better Suites
for This Kind of work Than
the Present.

During the next two months is one
of the best seasons for cleaning up the
farm, and in the majority of farms
there is plenty of opportunity or need
for this kind of work. After the plow.
ing for wheat is done the manure can
all be cleaned out of the stables, sheds
and feed lots and haulC out and scat.
tered broadcast on the land intended
for wheat. The work of properly pre-
pairing the land for the reception OF
the seed will incorporate sufficiently
with the soil. Weeds may be cut dowr
in the meadows and pastures and
along the fence rows to good advan.
tage. Many of them. if cut down be-
fore they mature seeds, will be effect
ually killed out.
This is one of the best reasons for
killing out sprouts and briars. With
the exception of sassafras and per-
simmon almost all kinds may be eff
fectually killed out by cutting down
reasonably close to the ground almost
any time IN August. With these two
in nearly all cases the only safe plan
is to grub out, cutting them off at
least six inches below the surface.
While this plan requires considera BILE
work, in the end it will prove much the
more economical. This is so much the
case that generally it will be better
to thoroughly clean an acre in this
way than to spend the same amount
of time and labor cutting off and burn
ing larger acreage, but doing less ef-
fective work.
Cutting close to the ground and let
ting lay until dry and then burning
will kill out many weeds, moss and
sprouts, but with persimmon and sas-
safras the tops will rarely be killed
down so deep but that the roots will
send up shoots next year, and in a
short time they will be as much in the
way as ever.
BY keeping the farm clear the value
is materially increased to say moth.
ing of the better satisfaction in work.
