Unusual Potato Crop.

The sweet potato crop in this section
this season is said to be exceptionally
fine. Several truckers hereabouts re-
port having quantities of them so large
that one will make an ample meal for
six persons. The yield is very much in
excess Of the market demands and they
are being fed in quantities to hogs,
cattle and other stock. The unusual
size-six, eight, ten and more inches in
diameter-renders their sale for cook
ing purposes difficult, the idea being
that potatoes of such excessive size
are not as palatable as smaller ones.

President Acts on Dewny's Advice to
Strengthen the Fleet

strengthen tue flect.
By the advice of Admiral Dewey the
cruiser Brooklyn, the gunboats Marietta
and Machias and several other war YES
sells are being prepared for a trip to the
philippines TO augment the naval forces
already there. Admiral Dewey is said
20 have strongly urged much larger and
more important fleet for the Philippines,
.ontendlng that it WAS necessary to make
he blockade of the islands more effective.
lie favors an aggressive land campaign,
and believes that this, with Il vigorous
blockade, to cut off the supplies that have
occn regularly smuggled TO the Filipinos,
will shortly reduce them to submission,
As the only alternative of starvation. In
addition to the vessels now being made
ready for the journey, the cruisers New
Orleans and Albany, the Monocacy and
.he gunboat Nashville may be sent.
Acting Secretary Allen telegraphed or
iers to the cruiser Nashville, at San
Domingo, Thursday, to proceed to San
Juan. L. r., and coal with all dispatch.
and then proceed to Gibraltar on her way
to join Admiral Watson at Manila. At
the same time orders were sent to the
Brooklyn and the New Orleans to pre-
pare TO leave as soon as possible for the
Philippines, via the Suez canal Orders
were also sent to San Francisco to pre-
pare the Badger to cross the Pacific as
soon as practicable. Acting Secretary
Allen also telegraphed to Boston TO pre-
pare the Bancroft for sea immediately
The Machias and Marietta will also be
ordered to start for Manila in the course
Of week or two, and probably the Ann
apolis.
The orders, it is officially explained, are
due to Admiral Dewey's advice that ev-
cry vessel of the navy that can be spared
from other duty be added to Watsons
fleet. with the view of crushing out the
rebellion as rapidly rs possible. He thinks
this can be quickly accomplished with
the increased army force soon to be as
sembled in the Philippines. if there is suf-
tcient naval force to secure Il rigid block
ade, and if there is energetic cooperation
between the sea and land forces.

the New Hebrides. About six months ago
Amaru married native woman of Aoeba
in the New llebrides group. and on pass
