AGRICULTURE IN ALASKA.
The Government Sends an Expert To
Establish Experimental Farms.

Agriculture in Alaska has many pecu-
liarities, and also, in the opinion of some
wellinformed people, many impossible
ties. To determine this latter point is
the mission of Prof. c. C. Georgeson CT
Kansas, who has been sent by the gen
eral government to the territory to make
experiments. He will establish farms in
the various sections. One of these will
be located somewhere on the southern
coast, one at Cook Inlet, one on Kadiak
island, and one in the neighborhood of
Circle City. Each will be devoted to the
culture of cereals and vegetables that are
known TO thrive in similar soil
and climate elsewhere. IN some
parts of Alaska almost any kind
of vegetation will thrive that grows in
the far northern states. On the Teller
reindeer reservation, near Boring straits
potatoes as large as hens eggs are raised
every summer, and on the Yukon, not fal
from Circle City, a colony has successfully
cultivated all the hardy cereals and vari
GUS kinds of vegetables, although thu

SAMPSON CAN GET SHIPS IN.
HobsOn Failed to Cork the Bottle
Rewards and Thanks.

New York, June pa dispatch to the
Herald from Port Antonio says:
While the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius
was making observations along the inner
harbor of Santiago few nights ago, am
pie evidence was discovered that the
sunken collier Merrimac does not com
pletely blockade the channel.
Further information develops the fact
that two battleships can enter the harbor
abreast, one passing on each side of the
Merrimac. This will be of great advan-
tage to Sampson when the final attack on
Santiago begins.
Lieutenant Hobson and his men are
still in communication with the fleet.
There is little prospect that they will be
exchanged before the attack on Santiago
is made.

she may delay the departure of the other

when the First Dakota regiment was or
dered to break camp Monday morning
and march on board the Valencia. The
exact time of the sailing of the feet will
not be known until after a conference be-
tween Generals Macarthur and Merritt,
when they expect to have positive orders
from Washington.

SQUADRON GOING TO SPAIN.
Expect to start on the Glorious
Fourth.

Washington, June 2S.-The administra-
ton yesterday finally came to a decision
to send an American squadron to the
Spanish coast and into the Mediterra-
mean. Several times since the war broke
out rumors to this effect have been cir
culated, but the project had not materi-
allied. 1t required the Spanish move
ment toward the Philippines by Camara's
squadron to decide the navy department
to adopt this bold stroke.
This first announcement, through a
bulletin posted at the war department of
the governments intention, was received
with incredulhy. There was a suspicion
that the story was foated to deceive the
Spanish government. However, when
later the detail of the vessels selected to
constitute Commodore Watsons eastern
squadron was announced, and official or
ders were given to provision the fleet for
four months, it became apparent to the
last doubter that the government was in
earnest in its purpose to dispatch the
fleet to Europe. -
The three vessels selected as Golfers
have started already on their way to
Newport News to take on a large supply
of coal. 1t will require a week to get
them down to SIMPSONS feet so that if
the start is to be made from that point it
will be impossible for Commodore Wat
son to get away before the 4th of July.
This would seem to be an suspicious date
for the beginning of an expedition that
will, for the first time in the worlds his
tory, start from the new world to attack
continental Europe.
Want to Check Camara.
No attempt is made to deny that the
government is influenced in ordering this
movement by a desire to check the prog
ress eastward of the Cadiz fleet. 1t was
not believed that the Spanish admiral
could be guilty of the folly of uncovering
his own home ports in this fashion, but
inasmuch as he seems determined TO do
so, the naval st1ategists could not do less
than take advantage of the magnificent
opportunity thus afforded them to strike
crushing blow at Spain, and thereby
save perhaps much time and loss of life
and money in the conduct OF the tedious
campaign in Cuba.
VIII He There Soon.
Commodore Watson should reach Ad
miral Sampson by Thursday morning, OIL
perhaps earlier, for the Newark, having
been extensively repaired, is now a swift
warship. The operations before Santiago
are of character that will admit of EN-
ployment to the best advantage of the
big monitors for bombarding purposes
and small cruisers and gunboats as block
aiding vessels. The start will be made
from off Santiago just as soon as the
squadron can be gotten ready, and this
, fortunately, owing to the completeness o
the naval mobilization, will be in shor
time.
