THAYER, Neb., Oct. 1S.-(Special)-A
large number Of German populist newspapers
have been sent through the mail here to
German farmers. The populist state central
comm ttee found that number of German
farmers were throwing the papers back, as
they did not wish to pay for them, and to
get them to take the papers they sent out
cards stating hat subscription was paid.
The populists are evidently after German
votes as there are five Germans to one
English speaker in the county.

was opened and examined and also every
box that was smell ng bad. The beef was
from the Armours.
In the matter of the withdrawal of the
Cubans from the Garcia funeral process

was made in the childish aatitude and
behavior of their generals on that day
Public opinion is fixing the blame on the
representatives of the Cuban Assembly

presidents of the Assembly, and Gen. An

The executive committee of the
Manufacturers Association win grant
the members of the Textile Council a

There is going to be an advance in

Manila, Feb. 14.-l1.55 a. M.-Partic-
ulars of the capture of Ilolo by the
United States forces, under Brig. Gen.
M. ID. Miller, on Saturday last. have
been received here.
On the morning of Friday. Feb. 10,
Gen. Miller sent an ultimatum to the
commander Of the rebels on shore,
notifying him that it was his intention
to take Iloilo, by force If necessary.
Non-combatants, and foreigners were
warned to leave town within "a hours.
The rebels were also warned that they
must make no further belligerent pre-
parations.
The gunboat Petrol was then moved
TO a position close in shore. and near
the rebel fort, while the cruiser Bos-
ton took up her station at the other
end of the town.
Friday passed quietly. During the
day many refugees left the town of
lloilo, the majority of whom were TAX
en- on board the foreign ships lying in
the harbor
Search lights from the United States
warships were kept all night long il
Illuminating the town and its defenses.
The rebels, 50 far as the OUTLOOK on
the ships could discover. remained
quiet throughout the night.
At 8 O'Clock on the morning of Sat
urday. Feb. II. the gunboat Petrel Sig
nailed to the cruiser Boston that the
rebels were working in their trenches.
In return the Petrol was ordered to fire
warning shots upon tn town from her
three Founders. This was DONE and
"a ,.aheL- ,,aplio.l with q hor,plavc fucil-
ade. The Boston and the Petrol then
bombarded the rebel trenches. COM
pletely clearing them of occupants in
a very short space OF time.
Soon after the bombardment began
flames broke out simultaneously in var
ious parts of the town. Thereupon is
marines, acting as infantry and artil-
lery, were landed from the cruiser
Boston and a company was sent ashore
from the gunboat Petrol. These de-
tacfments marched straight into the
town OF Ioilo and hoisting the Stars
and Stripes over the fort, took poses
sion Of the place in the name of the
United States.
The capture of the town and its de-
fences having been accomplished. the ma
rines and soldiers who had been sent
ashore proceeded to the task of saving
the American. English and German con-
sulates from destruction by the fire
which was raging among the frail and in
f.ammable structures of the town. The
Swiss consul's residence in the same row
as the consulates named. was burned.
The entire Chinese and native sections of
The town were destroyed, but foreign
mercantile property escaped with slight
damage.
There was some desultory fighting by
the enemy in the outskirts of Iloilo. but
not single American was injured.
Gen. Miller's force had complete con-
troll of the situation when the gunboat
Petrol sailed from Iloilo for Manila.
The 9Th u. S. Artillery Regiment occu-
pied a position commanding both the
bridges leading into the town, and the
Tennessee Volunteers and the 18th L. S.
Infantry were occupying the trenches
that had been constructed for the rebels.

Washington as a Farmer.

The manner in which farming was car
ried on in Virginia was very unsatisfac-
tory to Washington, and he did what he
could to improve it. In one of his letters
written in 17S7 he says: Il must observe
that there is. perhaps, scarcely any part
of America where farming has been less
attended to than innthis state CVirginial
The cultivation of tobacco has been al
most the sole object with men of landed
property. and consequently regular

He goes on to say tnat' there are several
farmers. himself among the number. who
are adopting the English system of rota-
ton of crops. In 17S5, he was writing
Lord Fairfax to make inquiry IN England
