Reports to Secretary Long on the Condi-
tion OF Cerver~'s ships
WASHINGTON. July 25.-The most
agreeable event Of the day at the navy
department was the arrival Of Lieuten.
ant Hobson. the hero Of the Merrimac.
The officials were not notified Of his
approaching visit except through the
newspapers. Consequently when he
reached the railway station there was
no official there to meet hum and his
reception was truly democratic. He
succeeded in escaping observation un.
til just before he emerged from the
in moment the station resounded
with vociferous shouting. The cry OF
"Hobson, Hobson," rang out and the
crowd closed about him, shaking his
hand and pushing him about until he
was rescued by the police and escorted
to his carriage. He was driven at once
to the Army and Navy club, and. after
brushing himself mp. he drove over to
the navy department., whore he was
warmly received by Secretary Long
and the other officials present. His
visit was in connection with the at.
tempt to raise the Spanish warships off
Santiago. for which work he was de.
tailed BY Admiral Sampson.
About $50 o'clock Lieutenant Hob.
son went to the White House to pay
his respects to the president. Secre-
tary Long accompanied him. The
president gave Lieutenant Hobson a
most cordial greeting and paid him o
high tribute for what he regarded a.
one OF the most conspicuous acts of
gallantry in the history Of naval war.

biggest day of the exposition. 1t
would not interfere with Rocky
Ford's melon day. That would be
celebrated the same as usual. The
transportation Of melons and hor-
ticultural products had been prom
ised by the railroad. He did not
know what had been done as to
agricultural products.
G. w. Fenlason wanted to know
whether a cantaloupe was a fruit
or a vegetable.
The president said he would
leave it to the questioner to decide.
A. p. Kouns thought the asso.
cation could send 25 cars to Oma-
ha and still have enough melons
to send a large train to Wetzel.
It was voted unanimously to
duplicate melon day at Omaha
during the exposition.
Mr.. Kouns recommended that
all members of the 1850
citation who could afford
to do 80 should order a number of
crates before the shipping season
arrives. BY SO doing they coul d
get a discount of 2 per cent from
the contract price. The contract
price this year will be 8 LIZ cents
per crate.
w. G. Lewis wanted to know if
any movement had been made to
improve the shipping facilities at
Swink. If not the matter should
be looked after at once. There
would be a large acreage of mel
ons in that vicinity and it was ab-
solutely necessary that they have
better shipping facilities A mo-
ton was carried authorizing the
board to find the probable amount
of business to be done at that
point and furnish the facts to the
railroad company and ask for the
necessary improvements.
s. 8. Bailey then spoke at
length ON the hail insurance idea
and presented a resolution en-
bodying his views. Quite a num-
ber of members spoke in favor of
the scheme but thought the asso-
citation as an organization could
not take the matter up. A motion
was finally carried that commit
tee of FIVE be appointed to con-
slider the question, and the pres
ident appointed Messrs. Bailey,
Wallis, Melton, Fenlason and
Longnecker.
It was voted that the board be
authorized to appoint a man to
look after the associations inte-
rests in the east during the ship
ping season.

wise the tenant would ship through
the association. The speaker
wanted to know what the associa-
ton would do in a csse like that.
Mr.. Magee thought what the
tenant raised should be shipped
through the association. II the
melons were not turned over to the
association then the member
should be fined for violating the
bylaws. Mr.. Longnecker thought
the same and read the section of
the bylaws relating to shipping.
Mr.. Wallis presented the follow
ing resolutions:
Be it resolved by this associa-
ton, that in all those cases in
which the landlord, not a member
of this association, whose land is
being farmed in watermelons or
cantaloupes, by a tenant who is a
member of this association, that
the tenant be and is hereby in
structed to inform his landlord,
that he, the landlord, must join
this association before June LIST,
1888, or this association will be
under no obligation to handle the
landlords share of the crop; and
be it further resolved that until
June LIST, 1898, be given for the
landlord in the cases mentioned
above to join this association.
Be it Resolved, that landlord
and tenant shall use but one num-
Der and shall be considered zone
grower" within the meaning of
the term as used in section 43 of
the bylaws.
The resolution provoked much
discussion. Many of the members
thought the landlord as much en-
titled to a number as any other
member. The stumbling block
was the bylaw limiting any one
shipper to SO crates at times Of
over production, some of the
members urging that a landlord
was entitled to his so crates as
we'll as the tenant. Others main
tained that each tract Of land
should be Nmlteu 10 ON crates.
The resolution was finally passed
unanimously.
The president stated that the
managers of the Omaha exposition
wanted a melon day and wanted
the association to arrange for it.
The speaker thought it was a good
advertisement for the association
and much good would result.
"But," said he, "if we go into this
thing we must go in with both
feet. 1t must be big thing. II
would take at least 25 cars of mel
ons." The railroads would fur
nish train free of charge and
the Omaha people had promised
to give all the aid possible to make
the affair success. The pres
ident stated that he found that no
space had been contracted for by
this vicinity. He had sent his
personal check 30 that Otero
county might be represented at
the exposition. He thought the
melon day at Omaha would be the

Hicks Forecasts for May.

HICKS EOr0C8SCS 1Or may.
If we are not greatly mistaken
there is much tendency to very
active storms each year from about
the 10th to the 18th of May. If
we are right this tendency will be
increased this month by o regular
storm period, central OH the 10th.
Look for very warm weather and
general depression of the barome-
ter, ending in heavy storms during
this period. If the barometer
does not rise and the temperature
remains high, with easterly and
southerly winds, until the 14th
many violent storms will be high
ly probably on and touching that
date. It can do no harm and
might result in great good to
watch all storm Indications care
fully at this period. Another
cool wnve with high barometer
will follow these disturban ,s,
whether they culminate promptly
in the period, or be retarded until

AFTER THE DISPATCH BOATS.

Navy Department Still Wrestling With
Newspaper Men.
A Washington cablegram, of We'd
nesday, to the London Times, contains
the following:
In addition to the belated policy of
censorship adopted in regard tc the
transmission of reports of naval move
ments, it appears that the navy depart
ment has decided to dispense with the
attendance of newspaper dispatch
boats upon the fleet in Cuban waters
The information reaches here that
before the beginning of the recent op-
GRAFTON of the squadrons of Sampson
and Schley against the Spanish fleet,
notification was given to all the news
paper boats which have been watching
and reporting the blockade, that they
would not be allowed to follow the
warships on their cruise. The notice
was peremptory, it is understood, and
its strict enforcement is supposed here
to account for lack of news from the
fleets, which has amounted to famine
for the last week. Had the newspaper
boats been with Sampson and Schley
on their cruise in pursuit of the Span
ish flying squadron, it is reasoned that
the telegraphic censorship at Florida
points would not have prevented the
receipt of information by other routes
from some of the many cable stations
in the West Indies.
The permission given by the vavy
department to the dispatch boats to
follow the fleets on previous cruises
has been very seriously criticised here
as inimical to the best interests of the
service and altogether an undignifed
proceeding. 1t has given rise to con.
siderable unfavorable comment abroad
also, and has been the particular butt
of sarcasm from the German emperor,
who is said to have derived considera-
BILE amusement from the spectacle of a
fleet of warships attended by a con-
voy of newspaper boats. Whether
these criticisms have resulted in the
decision of the navy department to
exclude the boats is not known, but
the decision is generally commended
as a wise one.
The presence of the newspaper craft
may not have done any harm, it is
pointed out, so long as the naval oper-
utions were confined to a peaceful
blockade, but now that IA serious naval
campaign is on, it is recognized that it
is the part of wisdom to free the fleet
from such espionage.
