some Principles of Forestry.
The chief fire warden thinks that as
the public comes to understand forestry
1t will be easier to enforce the law
against forest fires. A leading princi.
pie OF forestry, he says, is that the best
agricultural land should not be devoted
to forests. One Of the great economic
advantages Of forestry is that wood aud
timber can be profitably grown on soil
that is unfit for farming purposes. An.

be continuous; that no more timber
should be taken out Of it in a year. or
in a series OF 10 or 20 years than grows
in the entire forest in the same period.
Another principle is that the cutting Of
timber should be in blocks or strips SO
as to facilitate reproduction on the
clear areas by seeds falling from the
trees left standing. Another principle
is that the forest, when young, must
have in numbers. vastly more trees
than when it is mature. The tree grown
in the open may be handsome and use.
full for shade, but it is useless for tim.
Der. To make good timber the forest.
when young, must be crowded 30 as to
secure height growth. Mixed wood
managed on forestry principles in the
Black Forest Of Germany has to the
acre, at the age Of 20 years, 8, $50 trees:
1t the age Of 100 years. 212 trees.

LONDON, June THE United States
ambassador, Colonel John Hay, called
at the foreign office and presented evil.
dence Of Spanish officials making Can.
ada the base of operations, and pro.
tested against a continuance Of this
practice. The protest is based on the
fact that it would be a breach Of neu.
trality for Great Britain to permit her
territory to be used for such hostile
purposes.
Colonel Hay also recently drew the
attention Of the foreign Office to small
expectations from Great Britain Of war
munitions for Spain.

PORT Az PRINCE, Hayti, June 6.-At
S a. N. the American squadron again
began a commandment Of the fortlfica.
tiCns Of Santiago de Cuba and a lively
cannonade ensued for W hours.
which silenced the Spanish batteries.
An American vessel, the Merrimac,
described IN the advices from Santiago
de Cuba as an auxiliary cruiser, maa.

ceeded in passing the first line Of
detenses, but was torpcdoed about 500
feet up the channel.
She went down ''perpendicularly."
AN officer, an engineer aud six seamen
were taken prisoners. The number Of
victims is unknown.
Only the funnel and mastheads Of
the sunken vessel can be seen.
There is great excitement in the city.
\ part Of the population assisted in the
fighting on the heights. Everybody is
astounded at the audacity Of the Amer
lean vessel.
The American squadron was cruising
all the while in the offing.
1t will be noted that there is an i'm.
portant discrepancy as to the time at
which the bombardment is said to have
begun between the dispatches from
Cape Haytien and Port au Prince, the
former saying 3 o'clock and the latter
8. 1t is possible that this arises from a
confusion between tie figures 3 and 8.

Garcia's Men Expecting Help.
All indications are that Southeastern
Cuba will be the scene Of active naval
and military operations for some time.
Here are assembled the sQuadrons Of
great fighting ships, and looking down
upon them from the adjacent hills, are

army, which is strong enough unaided
to strike the Spanish land forces a hard
blow, and if reinforced by the Ameri.

the entire eastern half Of the island.
Talk with Garcia's scouts show that
they confidently expect American troops
They say this is the best part Of
the island for the landing and the ac.
climatlzation Of our soldiers. Well
drained and healthy camps can be eS.
tabllshed on the high tablelands that
lie on the sea front. or on slopes Of
mountains at any desired altitude.
Pure water is found in the springs and
mountain streams, while fertile sur.
rounding country yields abundant
fruits and vegetables, and everything
is favorable to the good sanitary cond..
ton OF a we'll disciplined army.
Rainy Season Not Serious.
The rainy season, the insurgents say,
is not q serious drawback, where camps
can be quickly located on we'll drained
soil. The island already shows the be.
ginning of the season. Showers occur
daily, and soft rain mists are seen on
the slopes. The smoke and fires of
burning plantations are being extin.
guished and luxuriant nature is rapidly
healing many of the ravages of the war.
These tropical storms at night are
wonderful exhibitions OF electrical
py~rotechnlcs. At times the lightning
flashes on the horizon look like the
regular firing OF guns from a distant
fort. Again, the entire heavens seem
atiame in vivid glare, and forked
tongues Of fire appear TO run down the
mountain slopes. \ d%renching rain

skies clear and al is serene, and the
