The Importance of having the great
est possible quantity of manure is gen.
orally understood by farmers, even
when they fail to give proper atten.
ton to the matter. Every crop taken
from the land, every pound of meat
sold from the farm, represents an as
certainable amount of fertility with.

can not continue to draw from the soil
without making returns, any more
than we can draw on the bank with

pounds nitrogen, 232 pounds pot

the true answer to the question so per-
sistently propounded from the unin-
formed outside; Why doesn't Texas
diversity its ceops9' 1t is simply be-
cause the landowners, as class will
not permit the tenant farmers to do
1t.
But the tenant-farmer is beginning
to have something to say under this
head. At tho Cotton Growers Protec-
tive association meetings being held all
over the state, among the resolutions
usually adopted is one something like
this:
"'That the landlords be prevailed
upon to permit us to so divide our
crops rs to plant not more than two
thirds of the land rented in cotton,
that each renter be allowed to SOW five
acres of wheat to every % acres Guilt
waited by him. II this policy can be
made general one it will not be long
before Texas will at least double her
grain-growing acreage.
"An erroneous impression prevails
largely outside of Texas concerning
the personnel of its tenant-farmers.
The idea is that most of them are
shiftless and thriftless negroes, who
rent from rich landowners and con-
fine their energies to the hand-to-
mouth limit, This is not the case.
The great mass of the tenant-farmers
of Texas, particularly in the
rich and populous northern
and central sections of the state,
are sober, intelligent and industrious
white men. They are not types of the
natural-born nomad species, so fami-
liar in early days, with decrepit prai-
rie schooners, bone-factory teams and
a long enrolment OF yaller dogs.
They are good, average American citi,

.SAGASTA GIVES UP.
Spanish Premier Hands In His
Resignation.
A MILITARY CABINET IS PROBABLE.
Government Apparently Preparing For
the End-Queen Said to BE Anx-
ious For Peace-AlIeged De-
nands of United States.

LONDON, July 12.-The Madrid cor
respondent of The Times, telegraphlng
last night, says: "Senor Sagasta went to
the palace today and rendered his resig-
nation ard that of the cabinet. 1t is
said that he advised the queen regent to
appoint a new cabinet, largely consist
ing Of the military element, which
would not necessarily mean the adop-
tion of a warlike policy but probably
the reverse. II is generally expected
that the resignation will be accepted,
but the result may possibly be merely
a partial reconstruction OF the cabinet.
The ministers are now in council and
Senor Sagasta has doubtless communi-
Gated TO them an account Of his audi
ence with the queen regent.
1T is asserted that the United States
makes the following demands as condi-
tions Of peace:
"First.-The possession of Cuba and
Porto Rico. with a port in the Canaries.
"Second.-An indemnity of e4S,O0O, 600
(about $24O 1000 OO0).
"Third.-The retention of the Philip
pines as a guarantee of the payment of
the indemnity.
'These terms are regarded as impos-
sible
"On leaving the cabinet council last
evening the ministers declared that
they had mutually engaged to main
tain the strictest reserve on the sub
ject Of their deliberations.
Duke Almodovar de Rio. minister of
foreign affairs. had an audience with
the queen regent today and subsequent
ly an important conference with the

THE cabinet resigned in consequence
Of irreconcilable differences of opinion
on the question OF initiating peace ne
gotiations"
The Times, commenting editorially
this morning upon the gloomy outlook
for Spain" says:
UNLESS the new cabinet is quickly
formed the delay may easily issue In
confusion or even disorder, which would
indefinitely complicate the whole prob
lem"
The Times thinks the government at
Washington unwise to Insist upon the
unconditional surrender Of Santiago. II
says.
Besides risking an unnecessary loss
Of life without appreciably furtherng
the conquest Of Cuba the United States
may soon find themselves in a position
Of. serious moral responsibility for the
starving population"
The Berlin correspondent OF The
Standard says:
"The queen regent is willing to open
peace negotiations with the United
States without any mediation of the
powers. provided the conditions are not
too severe. Her maximum concession
at present is declaration Of the inde-
pendence Of Cuba"
The Madrid correspondent OF The
Daily Mail says:
Cardinal Vaughn. archbishop OF
Westminster, has written as follows to
his brother at Valladolid:
I have profited by my first oppor-
tunity to declare that disapprove with
all my soul the unjust conduct Of the
United States against Spain, the latter

Their firing was directed mainly against
our mortars.
Occasionally a battery placed on the
Spanish left and on a hill back Of the
town fired a gun. and the Spaniards vol
leyed from the trenches more than the
Americans.
In fact. the attack on our side was
chiefly with artillery. our lines were
elaborately protected by over 22 0O0 sand
bags. while the Spaniards were protect
ed by bamboo poles filed in with earth.
The enemy had made holes through
the poles, and through them they thrust
their rifles and fired on our trenches.
The fire OF the Americans Gatling
guns was practically heavy. and it is
believed they did great damage In the
enemy's trenches.
