American Hero Rescued From a Foul Cell
by the Admiral.

by the Admiral
Washington, July 2e.-Naval Con-
structor Hobson has been furnishing
some interesting information to friends
in Washington OF his imprisonment at
Santiago. 1t was not commonly known
that for four or five days he was con-
iECd IN & email, Cnyent!lated, loath-
some cell IN Nero castle. He could
not have long survived the imprison-
ment and undoubtedly would have died
as the effect Of this cruelty and hard
ship had IL not been for the interces-
sions of Admiral Cervera, who inspect
ed the quarters and afterward insisted
that the military commander should
provide Hobson and his men with bet
ter and more civilized accommodations.
Hobson says the chagrin and anger
Of the Spanierds at finding they had not
destroyed a battleship in their attack
on the Merrimac probably excited them
TO the ill-treatment of himself and the
other prisoners Of war. The Spanish
officials at Santiago supposed they had
sunk an American battleship and that
Hobson and his men were the only sur
vivors of the ship. 1t was also under
stood that the action of the British COLI
sui at Santiago operated to have Hob
son and his men treated with decency.
The British consul performed practi-
cal service in advising the Washington
authorities of the prison accommoda-
tions in Santiago given to the naval
officer and the enlisted men. This adj
vice led to a menacing suggestion from
Washington.

Passengers-Food Scarce.
Seattle, Wash, July 30.-Purser
Twiggs of the steamer Humboldt, which
arrived here from st. Michaels, reports
that several steamers which have no
river connections cannot land their
passengers. They have been feeding
them several weeks and provisions are
getting scarce. The most unfortunate
lot of passengers are those who went
from Seattle on the steamer Progresso
The company sending her out has since
become insolvent. The passengers num-
Der about 160. and IL is probable that
they will nearly all be returned here.
The captain of the Dirigo says he
would sail for San Francisco with his
passengers IL he had provisions enough
to make the trip. The steamer National
City, with 100 passengers, is in a SINH
lar condition. The passengers Of these
steamers are getting very FESTIVE and

Of a summer vacation. Fem was passing

PRUNING THE
why spring Is the Hest Time for Per-
forming the Operation.

With nearly all other kinds of fruit,
pruning may be done at any time dur
ing the fail and winter that the trees
cases it is better to prune at this time
than later. But with the peach as
rule the better plan is to wait until
the danger of severe freezing is past
ia the spring. The principal reason foe
this is that the new growth of wood
Of the peach is easily injured by freez-
ing, and in pruning it is always best
first to remove all dead or injured wood
and then sufficient amount of other
wood to secure an open, spreading
head. The peach requires rather more
severe pruning than any other variety
Of fruit. Unless properly pruned, the
trees will have few long struggling
branches with leaves, and fruit OH the
ends of the limbs and little or none on
the rest of the tree. The reason of this
is that the new shoots come out
strongest from the terminal buds, the
largest shoots of the previous year be-
coming the largest the succeeding
year, so that in a short time the fruit
il out of reach, as it is the habit of the
peach to bear fruit on the previous
seasons growth of wood.
Prune in the spring, cutting out
first all dead or diseased wood and then
cutting back the new growth until the
desired form is obtained. Usually from
one-third to one-half of the new
growth can be cut back with benefit,
and more and better fruit be secured
than if the tree is allowed to grow as
it pleases.-N. j. Shepherd, in Ohio

AMERICAN BEET SUGAR.
In Few Years Its Production Will
Be u Great Industry.

In America about one-fourth of all
The sugar produced throughout the
world is consumed; four-fifths of this
amount is imported at an annual cost
uf $135, 100000. In 1880 twothirds of
he sugar used came from sugar-cane
sHd one-third from beet roots; in 1897
the proportions are exactly reversed;
yet while France, Germany and Austria
have been developing their beet-sugar
industries until they practically control
the trade all over the world, the United
States, having far richer beet-sugar
lands, boasts an annual output of only
about 10000 tons.
Within the past few years the depart
ment of agriculture has carried on an
exhaustive series of experiments over
different parts of the country suitable
for the growth of the sugar beet These
experiments have conclusively demon
strated that this important staple can
be grown in profitable quantities and
of the highest grade over aconsiderable
area of the United States. There is, in
fact, nothing to prevent this country
from becoming the largest beetoSugar-E
producing land in the world. With rhs,
same encouragement France has given
to the industry, America might have
roo factories instead of seven, which is
now her limit.
1t has been estimated that it would
require from 100000 to 100000 acres
devoted to beet-culture to produce the
sugar necessary for home consumption.
This would mean an addition to the
agricultural income of the country of
$50, ooo,o 900 or 500, 100000 a year, witheas
much more for labor and supplies.
