INSURGENTS CAPITAL TAKEN.


RunOr From Spanish Source of Vic
tory at EsperanHa.
A dispatch from Spanish sources in Ha-
vana yesterday says: General Castellanos
has taken possession of the village Of Es-
peranza, in the Sierre de Cubitas, where
the insurgent government had its location.
During the stubborn resistance made by the
insurgents their government escaped.
1.-THE next day. continuing his operations.
the same general defeated a body of $500
insurgents, who were coming to the aid of
the government, scattering them in all d.
rections and killing fifty-nine.
"CONGOSTO."
Senior de LONE considers the capture of
the insurgent governments capital of in
of view, as the forces of Gomez are now
without support. and the Spanish troops
will hold the mountains which have hith-
erto been the chief refuge of the insurgents
when hard pressed.
But the neral effect on those who have
been holding out against autonomy under
the belief that the insurgent government
was indestructible, he thinks, will be seen
in a marked degree as soon as the fall of
Cubitas becomes generally known in the
rebel camps.
This disastrous defeat. coming so quickly
upon the surrender Of Juan Masso and his
followers yesterday, he declares, leaves no
doubt as to the speedy establishment Of
peace in Cuba.
Another Havana dispatch, however, gives
just the opposite account of the above bat
tie. 1t was claimed as most decided vic
tory for the insurgents.

United States, then what?" II your ques-
ton relates to what will be. in view of the
pusillanimous manner in which the wrongs
of American citizens in Turkey have .hith-

REMOVING ALKALI.

It has been found that when land is ploWed up and water drained through it and away from 1t, alkali salts are removed. The land when thus pre- pared for plant growth proved to be very rich. In some of the worst spots the hard pan layers of the soil were so tough and compact that the work men were forced to use charges of dy- namite to break them up. This ex- treme process was only necessary in spots of the worst alkali land. In other spots not so bad it was dug and pried up with handspikes, while much of it could be loosened with a blow The alkali on the land was largely black alkali.
 The soil was plowed five times dur ing the first season, and gypsum or land plaster was applied to it at the rate of 500 pounds to the acre. The following year the land would not pro- duce a plant growth of any conse- quence, although beet and barley seed sprouted and lived for a short time The previous fall straw was plowed under to prevent the soil from running together again into a compact mass. The ground was plowed four times the third year and was again treated with a light coat of gypsum. The plants grew much better the third season than they did the second year, but did not do uniformly well, showing that the alkali salts lay in patches. The fourth year wheat and barley sown on i the land grew rank and made a heavy yield with the exception of few small patches.
 In all 2,000 pounds of land plaster to an acre had been applied, which to- gether with about twelve p1owings and the draining of the land converted al.
