TO PREVENT HOG CHOLERA.
Gratifying Results From tho Use Of
Anti.Toxlne Serum.

Gratifying Results From tho Use Of
Anti-Toxlne Serum.
Washington, Jan. 1.-THE chief of
the bureau OF animal industry. DR.. d.
4. Salmon. has submitted to Secretary
Wilson a report upon the experiments
made in the treatment Of hogs for hog
cholera with anti-toxine serum. This
serum is made upon the same principle
as the anti-toxine H diphtheria. II was
last fall tested in Page county. Iowa,
on several herds Of swine. containing
altogether 27S animals. and SO died out
Of 244 animals treated, of which Sc were
sick. Consequently S2S per cent Of the
animals In these herds were saved. OF
untreated herds kept under observa-
tion during the period referred to about
IS per cent of the animals died.
Secretary Wilson remarked that un-
doubtedly the results reported by DR..
Salmon were most encouraging to hog
raisers. The cost of the serum, said
the secretary, is but ten cents per head
OF animals treated, only one dose being
required. and doubtless in course OF
time this light cost may be still fur
ther reduced. He said further:
THE losses from hog cholera are so
enormous, and have weighed so heavily
for years upon the farmers. that can
not imagine that congress will for a
moment hesitate to make the appro-
priations necessary to carry on this
work thoroughly. 1t will be a great
mistake. now that so great a discovery
seems to have been made. not to finish
the work by giving it a thorough an I
extensive test"

AN INCORRECT MAP.
1T Shows the Louisiana CessiOn to Ex-
tend Beyond the Rockies.

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-One of the Off
cial maps of the government is, by the au-
thority of the government, declared to be
incorrect, and as now printed perpetuates d
mistake which is being taught in many of
the schools of this country. The map in
question is declared faulty in that it shows
the Louisiana cession to extend beyond the
Rocky mountains and to include what are
now known as Washington, Oregon and
parts Of Montana, Idaho and Wyoming.
Commissioner of the General Land Office
Binger Hermann, after an exhaustive ex-
animation of authorities, has recommended
that the new maps make the louisiana ceS-
sion end at the Rocky mountains, and his
suggestion has been adopted by Secretary
of the Interior Bliss. The commissioner has
had published an official report on the sub
ject Containing maps and illustrations. The
country beyond the Rockies will on the new
maps be shown 10 have been acquired by
discovery in 1892, by exploration in 1905. by

conception is based. The facts of history

A review of annexation by the United States
is included in the report and the benefits
arising from such acquisitions are pointed
OUT. The report says: The grand total of
amounts to $52,200.0O0, a sum less than the
value of one years output of Montana s

gold discoveries and other mineral deposits,
land offices, new routes to the interior. etc,
is also incorporated.

BLANCO CHANGES HIS TUNE.
Releasing Prisoners and Advising
that Cubans Be Forgiven.

NEW YORK, Aug. S.-AccOrding to adj
vices received from Havana by the Cuban
Junta Captain General Blanco appreciates
the fact that he must soon withdraw him
self and his forces from the Island Of Cuba.
He has assumed a mildness of demeanor
which compares strangely with his previous
bombastic attitude when he frequently ex-
pressed his determination to hold out in
Havana to the death. He is now treating
the insurgents with great consideration. In
a recent proclamation he made known to
the Spanish people of Cuba that Spain,
through the Intervention of foreign powers,
had been forced to the disgraceful issue of
suing for peace and that there would be no
more war and no further use for soldiers.
He offered a pardon to all Cuban political
prisoners and more than $50 were released
his proclamation Captain General Blanco
informs his readers that Spain, having
suffered so much in the present war, could
not resist the interference of the foreign
powers and go to war with all countries at
once so she compelled to accede to
their dictation and sue for peace. Havana,
he SAYS will be given over to Americans
and Cubans, and Spaniards will be forced
to eVacuate. Captain General Blanco as
sures the soldiers and all Spanish residents
who wish to return to Spain or go to other
Spanish possessions that they will get free
transportation, given by their mother coun-
try, to their destination, and will be pro-
tected from interference on the part of
either Cubans or Americans. He suggests
that the Cubans be forgiven and no longer
regarded as enemies and that no unkind
feelings be cherished.

KNOWN AS THE "GRAND OLD MAN OF
THE PACIFIC CoAsT.-
Made Millions Out of COmstOclx Lode
Baahs-NOveIist Ebers Also Dead.

ASHEVILLE, N. c., Aug. s-Brig. Gen.
John S. Poland died here to-day of fever
contracted al Chiekamauga. General Poland
came to Asheville several days ago with
the hope of recovering from an attack of
typhoid fever but despite the efforts of the
doctors, his disease was beyond control.
Mrs. Poland and their son and daughter
were here when death came and they; with
Lieutenant Wrenn, of General Poland
staff, to-day accompanied the ramainS to
Westerly. r. l., where the interment will
take place.
John Scroggs Poland was born at Prince
ton, Ind, Oct. IA, 1886. he was graduated
from West Point in 1861, and assigned to
the Second Infantry. He was promoted to
be first lieutenant July 6, 1861; captain, June
u, 1862, and rose to his present grade Of
colonel of the Seventeenth United States
Infantry Aug. l, 1891 He was appointed
brigadier general of Volunteers May A. 1898.
His first active service was in the Manas-
sas campaign of July, 1861, being in the
battle of Bulls Run. The other battles in
which he participated were the siege of
Yorktown, Gaines's Mill, Malvern Hill, Man
assas, Antietam, Shepardstown, Fredericks-
burg, Charlottesville and Gettysburg and
he was engaged in the defense of the capt.
tai against General Early's raiders. For gall
liant and meritorious services at the battles
of Antietam, Shepardstown and Fredericks-
burg he was made brevet major and was
made brevet lieutenant colonel at the battle
of Charlottesville.
At the outbreak of the present war he
was in command at Columbus barracks,
Ohio, and promptly offered his services, and,
at the time of his death was brigadier gen.
eral, commanding the Second Division,
First Army Corps, at Chickamauga Park,
Ca General Poland was a very able and
Jealous officer and conscientious in the dis
charge of every duty. His standing in the
army was of the highest, his fellow-off1cers
considering him possessed of a high order
of ability and discretion, speedily adapting
him to perform important duties requiring
capacity, professional zeal and good judg-
ment
General Poland was an authority on mill
tary matters. He published Digest of the
Military Laws of the United States from
1861 to 1868" Boston. 1863, and THE Con-
ventions of Geneva of 1864 and 1865 and ST.

tie before Santiago, and that is the view
that IS accepted by the public generally,
but when individuals give credit to one
vessel rather than another it is worth while
to consider their claims. After everybody
had been giving what seemed due honor
to the Oregon for the part it took in the
attack upon and chase of Cerveras ships
the chaplain Of that vessel comes out with
the vehement assertion that the Oregon did
it all. That the chaplain was unduly ex-
cited and not a competent witness is indi-
Gated by the report of the board of expert
gunners detailed by Admiral Sampson to
inspect the stranded Spanish ships and OBJ
serve the exact results of the American
guns. The board found only forty-one holes
in the Spanish wrecks larger than those
made by six-pounders. Twenty of these
were made by five-inch guns, and as the
Brooklyn had the only five-inch guns in the
fleet the Oregon chaplain will hardly deny
that the Brooklyn had share in the en-
gagement. There were ten hits by the eight
inch guns, and as the Brooklyn fired 100
proJectiles of this class it is safe to as
sumo that some of them also hit the mark.
Inc oregon man was too hasty.
