ed Cuban patriot. Weyler and Fitz-
hugh Lee In opposing roles, the secret
plotting at Havana and New York, the
lobbying at Washington, the deception
at Madrid, all offer good materials.
Blanco might be cast i'll the role Of arch
plotter, and the dastardly destruction
of the Maine might be shown with all
the secret workings Of the demoniac
forces that led to the crime. The curse
of that crime should be made to follow
the Spanish cause throughout the war,
to lead Blanco into ordering Cervera
to his doom, to blight his own plottings
for a dictatorship, and to cause the
downfall of Spanish sovereignty in the
new world forever--as 1t really did.
Such novel, with the stamp of genius
upon it's pages, would be the book OF
the decade. Who win write it?

er of Pensions. Bird is a newspaper
man and enlisted for the Spanish war
in a company of Rough Riders, raised
at Fort Whipple, Ariz. Five days
after he was mustered into the SER
vice, while he was riding a wild
horse, Bird was thrown and fell upon
his head, striking a tree at the same
time. From the result of his fall he
is rendered helpless, and has been
given a pension of $72 per month.
M. l.. Raymond, a Rough Rider,

discharged, is reported by the Arizo-
ma Republican to be lying critically

road ties, without means and with no
one to care for him. The citizens of
Maricopa have appealed to the off,
cials of the county, but nothing has
been done toward meeting the press
ing wants of the sick soldier. 1t is
astonishing that there are people in
Arizona who will subject themselves
to the reproach of such inhumanity,
regardless of the fact that the suffer

POULTRY.


The following particulars are fur
nishcd the Times, in regard to the
Sherwood breed of poultry, which
many experts believe to be equal to
any of the new varieties, as an all
around fowl for general purposes.
The information is sent by Mrs. A. r.
Rockhill of No. sol Magnolia avenue,
Riverside. who makes speciality of
this breed:
81 will gladly accede tc your re-
quest for a few facts concerning the
origin and leading characteristics of
the Sherwood fowls, which we deem
the coming general-purpose fowl of
the near future. The breed originated
in a cross of Light Brahmas and
White Indian Games. They are large,
fine, shapely-formed. birds, of white
plumage, small, erect, single-comb,
ear lobes and wattles red, yellow
beak, legs and flesh. They are very
quiet, gentle and tame, but not as
sluggish in disposition as the Brah-
mas, nor are they vicious like the
Games. The good qualities of their
ancestors on each side seem happily
blended in the Sherwoods."

thoroughly washed and irrigating de-
ferred for some time to come.
Oranges are again moving forward
about one-fourth of the crop has, SO

appears to have had less effect on the

The outlook for good crop
this year is having a tendency to
keep prices from jumping upward.
The bean crop of last year was a
comparative failure in California. For
the coming year an excellent crop is
expected in Ventura and Santa Bar
bara counties. AS the carried-oveI
supply has been exhausted, good
prices should be realized.

FEDERAL INSPECTION.

In senate bill by which it is pro-
posed to arrange for the inspection
of food products imported from
abroad, there are several paragraphs
of geat interest to California, which
were inserted by Senator Perkins.
One gives to the Secretary of Agricul-
ture sufficient funds to provide for a
special examination into the causes
of the blight which has affected many
fruit trees in this state. This will in
clude the ravages of the San Jose
scale, and, it is stated, in dispatch
from Washington, that the recent
failure of the olive trees to bear will
also be included in the inquiry.
The Times has suggested that an
investigation into the olive situation
should be made by the State Univer-
sity. Possibly, however, an investiga-
tion by the Department of Agricul-
ture will be more eficacious and
thorough.

The right to capture private property
of the enemy on the sea in time Of war
and divide 1T up among the captors is a
subject Of exceedingly great interest to
the commercial world, says the Chicago
Times Herald. At the breaking out Of
our recent war it ATTRACTED immediate
attention from the numerous captures
of Sapnish trading vessels plying be-
tween the ports of Porto Rico and Cuba
and other countries. The prize money
that thus fell to our naval forces was
justified by past precedents, but to the
general observer this making prey Of
inoffensiye and defenseless merchant.
men seemed more like piracy than civil
lied war. BY reason of this experience
there has been general desire express.
ed that this remnant Of barbaric war
fare should now be abolished. Captain
Mahan comes to the defense of the Gus
tom, and urges as his strongest argument
that commerce is the life of a nation,
on which it thrives, and that therefore
anything that will cripple his commerce
will cripple its fighting power. He
further says that the great CONNER
cial interests throw their influence on
the side of peace, for the very reason
that they will be the greatest sufferers
by war. assure nations," he adds,
'sthat their financial interests will suf-
fer no more than the additional tax for
maintaining active hostilities, that the
operations of maritime commerce, for
eign and coaStwise, will undergo no
hindrance, and you will have removed
one of the most effective preventives of
war" We think this argument proves
too much. If nation may be crippled
on the sea in this way, why may it not
be crippled ON land by like means
Why should not towns and cities be
sacked and plundered by a victorious
army and the booty diyided among the
officers and men? Why should not non
combatants be put to the sword so that
they may not be forced into the ene-
my's army? Why should not the grow
ing crops be destroyed so that there
would not be food for the enemy? No.
The capture of private property on the
high seas is no more defensible than
the capture of the same kind Of prop
erty on land, and it Is to be hoped that
early steps will be taken among the ma
tions to abolish this form Of warfare.
1t would indeed be good subject for
discussion at the Cars peace confer

AS an instance of the thoroughnesS
with which the England of to-day is en-

the proposed college at Khartun is an

far more practical, is the arrangements

study and treatment of tropical dis
eases. Hereafter medical applicants
for appointment in the tropics will be
required to have passed at least two
months of special study upon this sub
ject in institutions specified and to give
evidence of their knowledge by passing
a special examination. 1t is certainly
an indication Of better things that sci
entifc inquiry is now to be made as to
