NEW YORK, June 1S.-Capt. Raefel
Cente, Of the Cuban army has arrived
at the headquarters Of the Cuban junta
in this city with dispatches from Gen.
Gomez. He was accompanied by lieu
tenant of the 'army of liberation"
Capt. Conte and his companion left Co
mcz in Las Villas. The general then
had with him a body guard of only
sixty: n1en-a cavalry escort. There
was little food in the region where Co
mez was making his headquarters, so
he did not mass any large number of
men there, but had them extended over
a large section of country and directed
their movements from headquarters.
( He has all the necessary arrangements
for the concentration Of the troops
when the proper times comes, but keeps
them scattered and employed in
Guerilla warfare in the meantime. so
that they may find food The captain
claims that Gomez can concentrate
10000 armed men in short time at any
place where it is desired. Seven thou
sand more men are attached to Gomez's
army and are only waiting for arms
to be available for defensive or often
sive operations
GOMEZ WOUNDED.
In a skirmish with guerillas about
three weeks ago Gomez was wounded
in the left arm by a Mauser bullet.
The wound healed quickly, however, in
spite of the generals advanced age,
and when the captain left camp the
old chief was able to use his l1mp
about as we'll as ever.
When they left camp the ENJOYS made
their way to the seacoast, living on
sweet potatoes and fruit which they
found on the way. For two days they
were without food at all. Finally they
reached the sea coast between Matan-
zas and Cardenas and were taken by
a fishing boat to a small cave until d
vessel of the blockading feet was re-
ported, when they put off in row
boat and were picked up six miles off
the coast The vessel which picked
them up was the tug Osceola, Capt.
Purcell The Osceola is one Of the aux
iliary fleet. They were nearly naked
and nearly famished when they We're
taken aboard the Osceola: but the Off
GERS of the vessel supplied them with
food and clothing and carried them into
Key West. From there they came on
at once to this city with their dis
patches.
WANTS ARMS AND FOOD.
Gomez is now especially DESTROYS of
receiving arms and food. 1t is under
stood that definite plan for the con-
centration of troops under Gomez with
the United States troops when the time
for such operation arrives has been ar
ranged between the general and the
war department at Washington. Mean
while Gomez will keep his forces scat
tered.
Capt. Conte said that from informa-
ton received by Gomez's scouts it Is
known that in all the garrisoned towns
sickness is making great ravages
| among the troops. Medicines is 50
scarce that the proper medical atten-
ton cannot be furnished and the num-
Der Of sick increases every day. The
coal supply in Havana is almost ex-
hausted and what there Is left has been
taken in charge by Blanco, who has
his officers supervise consumption. The
electric light company recently re-
ceived orders to shut off their dynamos
at o'clock so that coal might be
husbanded. After the hour at which
the electric lights shut down, Havana
is now in darkness.

VETERANS PREFERRED
In Bill Reported Favorabiy by
Tavney.

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-Represent-
alive Tawney today reported favorably
on bill that will be of interest to the
veterans of the late war. The bill pro-
vides that all honorabiy discharged
men who served in the war shall be
preferred in making appointments to
any branch of government service. The
report says the bill is intended to
change the existing law or regulation,
which provides that persons who have
incurred disabilities shall be preferred
to provide that any person who served
during the entire war shall be pre-
ferred, even though he incurred no
permanent disability during the service
Under the present construction of the
law, persons who served only one
month, says the report, and who in
Cured a disability, are appointed to
positions, and this is injustice to those
who suffered the hardships of the en-
tire war without mourning disability.

be placed on each vessel mounting four
guns, but for the limit of the appro-

more than one turret on the ships.
This is to be placed forward, and will
have a radius of action so that the
guns may be trained well aft on either
side. The monitors will be 400 tons. a
greater displacement than was at first
agreed to, and, loaded with equipments
and coal, are expected to displaee about

speed will be twelve knots. They are
to be delivered to the government in
less than eighteen months.

HARVESTING WHEAT.
A Few Items Which Will Facilitate the
Business.

A Few Items which Will Facilitate the
business.
In order to have harvesting go on
smoothly the binder should be in perfect
order. When the wheat is ripe and cut
ting has commenced is no time to stop
for repairs. Help enough should be en-
gagged to shock the wheat properly as
fast as cut. If solidly shocked and we'll
covered, it will stand considerable rain
without injury. If the work is careless
ly done, wet weather may seriously
damage both grain and straw.
Two persons working together can
shock to much better advantage than
either alone Each taking two sheaves,
they should set them tight together at
the top and down solid at the butts that
the sheaf may crush the stubbles and
stand solidly ON the ground. If the
sheaves are merely set on top Of the
stubbles, the shock will almost invari-
ably settle to one side and fall over.
The outside sheaves should be set to-
ward the center of the shock, and by
using two sheaves for caps the shock
will shed rain very we'll. The caps
should be crossed, as they will shed wa
ter better and dry sooner than If put on
any other way. Where large area is
to be cut, it is always best to begin in
time to prevent the last getting overripe
and Smelling badly.
The regular and frequent oiling of
the binder should not be neglected. A
little at time and often should be the
rule in oiling. The faster any part
runs the more oil it needs. Use thick,
heavy oil that contains but small per
cent of coal oil. In harvesting as in
other farm work it is well to remember
that it does not pay to overwork the
team for the sake Of finishing a few
hours sooner, especially in hot weather.
In favorable weather, after wheat has
stood in shock from four to six days, it
can be stored in the NOW or stacked.
Some prefer to thrash directly from the
shock, but this method is open to vari-
ous objections In bad weather the
thrashing is frequently delayed SO long
that the grain is badly damaged. II
necessitates the employment of SO much
extra help and SO many extra teams for
getting the grain to the machine that
the expense is augmented quite consid-
erably. A farmer should always aim to
grow his crops at as little expense as
possible, says a Prairie Farmer CORE

harvesting wheat

SEA BATHING.
How TO Indulge In It to Produce the
Maximum Benefit.

How to Indulge In 1t to Produce the
Maximum Benefit.
The length of time one should remain
in the water depends, first, upon the
temperature of the water, and, second,
upon the condition Of the individual,
says the New York Voice. If the water
is quite cold and the individual feeble,
a dip lasting not more than one or two
minutes will be sufficient to produce
the maximum of benefit. A longer stay
would prove exhausting and injurious.
A person who is stronger may endure
the same temperature for five or ten
minutes without disadvantage, but few
persons would care to remain in water
at 70 degrees for longer than the time
named and feeble persons may be injur-
ed by more than hasty dip beneath
the surface
Fifteen to 20 minutes is as long as
most persons can remain in the water
with benefit, except perhaps on the
very warmest days, when the tempera-
ture Of the water approaches more near
ly that of the body. The sensations ex-
perienced upon coming from the water
are very excellent guide to the dura-
ton Of the bath. A feeling Of well be-
ing, buoyancy and increased vigor is an
indication that the bath has been bene-
fetal. A sensation Of malaise, languor
or headache, prolonged shivering and
weakness are evidence that the bath
has been too greatly prolonged. Neglect
to regulate the bath according to the
temperature of the water, the tempera-
ture of the air and the patients condi-
ton deprives large number of people
Of the benefits they might otherwise de-
rive from sea bathing.
We, may also mention incidentally
that those persons who resort to sea
bathing for the benefit of health are not
likely to derive very much benefit there
from without at the same time correct
ing erroneous habits of diet, dress and
other unhygienic practices which may
be, more than any other cause, respon-
sible for the diseased conditions from
which they suffer.

n Cellar Successfully Fitted For Storing
Roots-The Value Of Air Spacing.
Roots stored in large bulk exclude the
mir, and this condition promotes decay,
especially when they are gathered hur-
xledly and not properly cleaned. The
tall is oftentimes wet, and roots gather
ed in such weather have to be rehandled
q sorted during the winter. A writer
ip The Country Gentleman gives his ex-
perience in refitting an old cellar for
large crop Of roots-carrots, mangels,
potatoes and turnips.
This was done by placing 3 by hem
lock studs about three feet apart up and
down against the ends and sides Of the
cellar. One by two Turing strips were
1ailed to the studding, spacing the fur
ding about one inch between the Stats.

How 70 Keep Grapes Fresh.

The first requisite is that the fruit be
in perfect condition. If the grapes
bought in the market are to be used,
they should be as fresh as possible when
received. Remove any imperfect ones
with sharp pair of scissors, put lay
er of cotton in a pasteboard box. then q
layer of grapes, the lunches not touch
ing each other, another layer of cotton,
and SO on until the box is full, with

should be tucked down at the sides after
each layer. Put ON the cover, tie secure
ly and put away in a cool, dry place.
