Scattering Weed seeds.

In putting down the weeds the first es-
sential thing is to stop the scattering OF
the seeds. In the late summer and :s:.l-
tumn seeds are blown about freely By the
wind, and are carried from one state to
another by birds. The ideal way is to cut
down the weeds before they go to seed;
then neither birds nor wind can scatter
this there would still be enough weeds
left in the abandoned places and along the
roadsides to keep up the supply.
One of the most frequent methods Of
spreading weeds is through the use Of
manure that comes from unknown
sources. Manure. that comes from city
stables ID invariably free from all weed
seeds, but such fertilizer that comes from
the country is very apt to contain the
seeds Of noxibus weeds that will gerlnin-
ate and spread as soon as applied TO the
innumerable other pests Of this character
have spread throughout the. country
through the manure more than by the
wind or railroads. Manure full Of weed
seeds is not worth the room it takes mp,
and one cannot be too careful in avoiding
it. In the end it will cause more trouble
than it will do good The Il rmar vino is

winter time or early spring this manure is
spread over the cultivated fields, with the
weed seeds in it, and the result is easily
guessed. With little more care a GOOD

ters command will have left Santiago
for the United States.
1t is nov thought to be probable
that a final declaration OF peace Will
not be made until after Congress con-
venes in D cember. 1t seems to be the
intention Of the President to take his
time in selecting the members OF the
peace commission, and as there is to be
no ef5rt to hurry the negotiations to
conclusion, it is possible treaty may
not be agreed upon before Decembe l.
A large body of men will be sent to
Havana as soon IS the United States
assumes control there, while in Porto
Rico and the Philippines large garri
sons will be required, not only during
the peace negotiations, but long after
they have been concluded. The Presi.
dent is said to be OF the opinion that
the army can b. maintained, as at pres
ent, without further legislation, but as
there is some question OF this, 1t will be
much easier TO assume that state OF
war is continuing and that the men are
needed on that account. Conditions in
Cuba are causing the President and his
cabinet much anxiety. 1t is realized
that some very serious problems will
present themselves the moment the
United States assumes control.
The Madrid correspondent OF the
London Daily Mail says: The COM
ments Of the press on the protocol is
veritable funeral hymn on the destruc-
ton OF the Spanish colonial empire.
Some days ago the desire for peace
made the people close their eyes to the
price, but now upon reading the proto-
col, they realize that the cost is the
loss OF that empire which Spain had
conquered with so much glory, and
that Spain now falls TO the second
rank among nations. The public mind
is stunned, and there is general mourn
ing.
Gen. Blanco telegraphs that Havana
is greatly agitated by the news ofthe
signing OF the protocol, and that much
anxiety is manifested to learn the cor
dtions which have not yet been pub
lished. Some uneasiness is felt regari-
ing the effect that the text OF the proto-
col may have on the Spanish volunteers
Havana. Many newspapers express
grief and despair that the men who
brought disaster on Spain by lack Of
foresight, organization, and ability
should continue govern the country.

Gen. Lee will call on the President

though he has not received official
notification to that effect, it's generally
understood that he will be member OF
the military commission which is 10 ar

II is also expected that he will be the
islands first military governor.
The President and Secretary Alger
held g conference yesterday at which
the future control Of Cuba and Porto

nothing but a military government I'M
til Congress meets, and General Flfz-

men will constitute our force in the

The Second Division of General
Graham's Corps, now at Thoroughfare
Gap, will be sent to Middleton, Pa, as
soon as transportation can be provided.
Il was at first intended to march the
men over the roads, but that idea has
been abandoned on account of the un-
necessary hardships it would force
upon them aud the great labor and time
consumed by Transporting the baggage
and subsistence stores by a wagon
train. The division will be moved by
rail either Wednesday or Thursday.
The First Division, Major General But

country by grand national jubilee ano
review of the troops that were enlisted
for that war. IfSpain were strong pow
err, or if there had ever been the fainte;t
doubt of the result of the war, there
might be some reason for such an exh.-
bition, but as the war was unnecessary,
and enormously expensive, and was
justified only upon the old ground tina
might makes right, and as its result
was assured before it was commenced,
such jubilee would only add to The
ridicule with which this country is al
