Answer-It is not strictly a scientific ro-
tation. but it is SO convenient, and the
wheat follows cowpeaS so appropriately
that we DO not object to it, especially if
fertilizers be literally used. We would
suggest as a fertilizer the following: Two
hundred pounds acid phosphate. 300 pounds
cotton meal, or $50 pounds dried blood. 90
pounds of muriate of potash. 1t would be
well to apply only 200 pounds of the cotton
meal or 100 pounds of dried blood at the
time of sowing wheat and top dress with
80 10 70 pounds of nitrate of soda in the
spring.
The preparation you suggest would be
amply sufficient. We think it might be
well to use the Hancock disc pillow at tine
first or not at all.

following response from shafter:

Santiago, via HaYtI, July 26.-Adju-
tant-General, Washington: Press re-
ports not true. I only know of three
ships having arrived, one from Kings
ton, the others from the United States.
The Bratton has sold it's cargo; the
other, a ship from New Orleans, has
sold only part. The captain tells me he
is going away tonight. The trouble is
they do not expect to pay any duty, and
arrived here without money. The
Spanish customs as applied to Spanish
subject only have been collected, and
twenty cents per ton as ordered.
81 discovered this morning an at
tempt on the part of the municipality to
collect tax of 40 cents per 100 kilos. in
this instance amounting to $250O. 1
had settled the matter by ordering its
non-collection. There is no money
here to do business, and the merchants
are very timid about making purchases,
fearing the effect of the Red Cross sup
plies, which really are feeding the town.
The New Orleans man, for instance,
brought % head of cattle, which he sold
at $S5 per head. The person buying
kills one dav, selling the meat at 20
cents per pound. OF course only a few
people buy. The fret week or more
here people were starving to death, and
I think a few now are dying from the
effects of starvation.

THE ISLANDERS
ENTHUSIASTIC
News of the Ratification of the Annex
alton Treaty Causes Much Excite
ment Among Them.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 27.-The steamer
Mariposa arrived today from Australia
and Honolulu, bringing the following
correspondence to the Associated Press /:
Honolulu, July 21.-The steamship
Coptic arrived on the 18th inst. with
news that the United States senate had
ratified the Newlands' resolution max
ing Hawaii part of the United States.
On the city front and in the city proper
the people were wild with enthusiasm.
Steam whistles were turned loose, and
men shouted and cheered until they
could do so no longer. There was
general handshaking and congratula-
tions everywhere. AS soon as the news
was received up town the fire whistle
was turned on, the whistles OF factories,
mills and steamers in the harbor were
turned loose, and pandemonium reigned.
Fireworks were set off in the midst of
the noise, and hundreds of guns were
fired on the grounds of the executive
building. At the same time the Ha-
waiian band started out, and marched
through the streets to the wharf, play
ing American patriotic airs. An i'm
mense procession was formed and a
march made to the American consulate
and the executive building. American
flags were raised on every available
pole in Honolulu.
President Dole reached the wharf as
the steamer tied up. Captain Zealby,
of the CoptIc, was presented with a sill
yer cup by the citizens of Honolulu for
bringing the glad news. The presenta-
tion took place on the deck of the Cop
tic. The cup is a massive one, hand
somely engraved.
The people here have decided not to
have any formal annexation celebration
until the Philadelphia and Admiral
Miller arrive with the flag.
Leading men of Honolulu met today
and indofsed Harold M. Sewall, United
States minister to Hawaii. as their
choice for governor of the islands.

BEYOND REACH
OF SPAIN
Mckinley Has Not Discussed the Part
the Philippines Shall Play in the
Negotiations Ultimatum to Be
Transmitted in a Few Days.

WASHINGTON, July 27. = Whatever
terms the American government may
decide to grant in negotiations for peace
which Spain has set on foot it has been
definitely concluded that Cuba and
Porto Rico have passed beyond consid-
GRAFTON as ever returning to Spanish
dominion.
The president has not had time to dis
cuss the part the Philippines shall play
in determining the peace question but
1t ia probable the United States will
retain only coaling station on the ISL
ands, nnless the sentiment of country
shall become SO decided that the admin
istration may find it necessary to en-
large the scope of the present intention.
A reply to the note submitted by the
French ambassador is being prepared
and will probably be ready for transmits
sion inside of the next week. In 1t the
president will state plainly just what we
are prepared to concede and the Span
ish dons will have to accept our terms or
submit to a heavier thrashing. Two
points will be made especially clear, and
those are that on no other basis will
hostilities be suspended except what
shall indicate Cuban independence and
the surrender of Porto Rico.

KANSAS CRY, Mo-, July 27.-A special
to the Star from Eufala, Indian Terrific
ry, says.
In two distinct battles with deputy
sheriffs, gang of outlaws and cattle

six miles east of Checotah, and resulted
in one outlaw, half-breed Cherokee
named Petit, being mortally wounded;
David Greathouse, an ex-member of the
French gang, was slightly wounded and
captured, and one Cowhorn was also
captured. Later the rest of the gang
was intercepted near Bragg's agency by
