HIS CHARGE AGAINST GEN. OTIS
Agoncillo Says He Was Ordered Il

Agoncillo Says He Was Ordered to
Precipitate Conflict to Push Treaty
Montreal, Feb. S.-,Juan Luna, and an
unknown Filipino, arrived this morning.
Luna is stopping at the Windsor Hotel,
but the unknown went to the Albion.
Luna said that he had simply come to
visit his friend Agoncillo and refused
to talk further. Agoncillo was seen and
asked about his cablegram to the Junta
in London. He admitted that he had
sent such telegram, and intimated that
they were in a position to prove that
General Otis had been ordered to bring
on a conflict so as to force the peace
treaty through the Senate. He said he
was being kept pretty well posted on
whatever was being done against his
country.
Agoncillo said further that since war
had been declared it would never be
stopped till the Americans made over
lures for peace. They would be willing,
however, to have mutual conference.
The principal reason why they opposed
American rule was that from what they
had seen mp to now of the American
soldiers, the F'ilipinos would simply be
slaves. He says he has sent six tele
grams to Washington and has not yet
received n single reply.

PROCEEDINGS IN HOUSE.
Washington Feb. S.-The net result
of the work during the two days allotted
for the consideration of public building
bills in the House was the passage of Il
single bill providing for the erection of
a building at Neport News. Va, ut Il
cost of $4,000.
Sixty-five bills in ALL carrying or au-
thorizing the expenditure of about $12,-
100000. were favorably considered in
committee of the whole when the com
mittee rose to-day, but because II other
bills reported had not been acted upon
in committee, filibustering tactics were
resorted TO and all efforts to advance
the bills favorably acted upon in com
mittee were blocked.
The first bill considered was for a
site of public library in Washington
for which Andrew Carnegie contributed
$250,000. The site selected by the bill
was Mount Vernon Square, at present
a Government reservation. No appro-
priation consequently was involved.
THE hill was laid aside with n IA
vorable recommendation. When the
next bill, for public building at Jopi Ii,
Mo. to cost $4,000, was called up, Mr..
Maddox. Dem, Ga.), made general
onslaught upon the work of the Commit

attached TO the bottom of the first post
and the top Of the second for the first
space, and from the bottom of the Sec
ond post to the top of the third for the
second space, and so on. These braces
should be made of two strands of wire
twisted together by means of small
rod until they are very tight. II there
is a tendency to loosen, the wire can be
further twisted and the slack taken
up ip this way. This matter of end
braces is very important and if the soil
is soft or If there is any danger of their
becoming loosened, get extra large
posts and set them in the ground deep
er, say three and half to four feet.
To unroll the wire, place tough
pole four feet long through the spool
and lay II across the wagon bed so
that the wire will roll Off the top OF
the spool Stick small standards in
the staple at each side of the bed to
keep the spool from rolling Off. Take
out the end gate, fasten the wire TO the
end post at the required height and
drive the team slowly, watching to see
that the wire does not become entan-
gled as It unrolls. When you get TO
the twentieth post, stop the team,
brace the wagon so that it cannot run
backward. Fasten one end of q chain
to the spoke of the hind whee! next
the posts, and the other end of the
chain to the wire, now turn the wheel
by hand and wind the chainup on the
hub until the wire is tight, and then
staple the wire fast to the posts. III

Bottles in the dark room should al.

can then be taken down in the dark

When pouring from a bottle always
hold the bottle so that the label is on
the upper side of the bottle. If this is
not done the writing on the label will
quickly become illegible, owing TO the
dribblings Of the liquid down the
side.
When using colorless solutions and
clear glass bottles, write the fol mula
of the solution on the gummed side OF

the bottle. This can always be read
through the liquid, and the writing

BARBED WIRE FENCE.
Description Of a Tried Method by
Which One Man Can Build
One without Help.

At each end Of the line of fence set
three posts two and q half feet deep,
tamling the dirt firmly about them.
If the work is done in early spring, the
posts can be shorpened and driven in
with maui. The posts should be just
one rod apart. The intervening posts
can be set about two feet deep and q
rod apart, The value of the barbed
wire fence depends upon the tension
of the wires, If they are loose, the
fence is ineffective and dangerous for
farm animals, II the end posts are
firmly braced and the wires tightly
stretched at first there will be no diff
ficulty in this respect.
In bracing, the plan suggested in
the accompanying illustration is very
desirable, Between the end post and
the one next to it, set an extra post
You will thus have two spaces eight
feet and three inches apart in which to
put braces (aa), For braces use strong

DEWBERRY CULTURE.
Effort 10 Raise ut Least
Few of the Plants.

There is no more delicious berry than
the dewberry when it is fully ripe. Even
when only turned black and not yet as
sweet as it becomes when perfectly
ripened it makes delicious sauce and
pies that come MS nearly to wholesome
ness as pies ever get
The berries are two or three times
as large as blackberries and the plants
OF most varieties are perfectly hardy.
The Lucretia is probably the best one
ever introduced as it was the first, this
variety having been found growing
wild in Virginia by an Ohio soldier
during the rebellion. Noticing its
good qualities, he marked the place,
and after The war was ended he went
back and got the original plant, nam
ing it after his wife, Lucretia.
The difficulty with and chief cause OF
complaint against the dewberry is its
trailing habit, although its dreadful
spines come in for considerable criti-
cism. As there is no rose without n
thorn, so IT seems one Of the best ber-
ries must have the longest and sharpest
thorns of any of its family.
With all these faults it pays TO have a
few dewbcrry plants, and usually these
make place for themselves that leads
to an increase in the original planta-
ton. They should be trained to low
trellis or over frame and given the
very disqualification, rememberingtha
it is impossible to make the soil too
rich for them. If this is kept in mind
