WASHINGTON, Feb. II. = Secretary
Yong received Captain Sigsbee's dis.
patch but few minutes before the
Associated Press dispatches from Ha-
vana were handed to him. He received
the news with apparent calm and his
first act was to comply with Captain
Sigsbee's request that assistance be
sent from Key West. He Immediately
wired Captain Forsythe at Key West
to proceed with the naval tender Fern
to Havana harbor
Secretary Long then sent for Captain
Dickens and the two discussed Captain
Sigsbee's brief telegram. While neither
the secretary nor Captain Dickens are
incinal to discuss the probable cause
of the accident, several suggestions
were ventured upon. They believe
that it may have been caused by a fro
in the bunkers, heating the bulkhead
near q magazine. or that an accident
may nave occurred while inspecting
high explosives for torpedoes. OF
course this is mere speculation and the
secretary is anxiously waiting more

Free In sp,,e Of himself.

Under the first French cir pire the ad
ministration of the prison Of Sainte-
Pelagie was 80 loose that it was not rare
for accused persons To lie there six
months without knowing the cause OF
their incarceration. The following ad.
venture, narrated in 1.-The Dungeons Of
Old Paris" discloses the fact that re-
lease under similar conditions Of igno'
rance was not impossible:
The doctor had given to prisoner
who was slightly i'll an order for the
baths. Not knowing in what part OF
the prison the infirmary was situated,
he presented his order 20 tipsy turn
key. who opened the outer door Of the
prison.
NJ. Guillon, . free man without being
aware Of it, took the narrow street to be
a sentry's walk aud went q few PAGES
without finding any one to direct him.
Returning to the sentry at the door, be
inquired where were the baths.

and that the specks were the fiinty parts
of the corn ground coarse and not digest

into the heap they absorbed the moisture
Of the pile and swelled up, and fermen-

MATERIAL SHOULD
az TURNED UNDER oRY.

The claim OF Southern farmers that
clover, cow peas, weeds and other green
msnurial plants turned under dry, rather
than green, give better results, is vel
founded.
Green msnuring has been prsctised
for centuries In Europe and for some
wears in our Northern States, and valus.
ble results have accrued from such 8
course. Blu, for the last few years
farmers and scientific men have differed
upon the plans Of turning under these
green crops.
Our best Southern farmers are slmos,
unanimous in ::preferring to turn under
the crops when dry than when green
Necessity may have st first brought

crops after they had become matured OF

the means OF demonstrating that IL was
