MANILA, Feb. 1890 p. m.-Early
in the day the monitor Monadnock and
the cruiser Charleston began dropping
shells into the rebel camp between Ca
loocan and NIalabon.
The enemy's sharpshooters, in the
jungle On the American left, had been
particularly annoying since daylight, so
the Third artillery drove the rebels out
of the jungle at noon. In the meantime
a few more of our men were wounded.
The heat knocked out many more Of
our men than did the Filipinos' bullets,
especially in the marsh lands north Of
Malabon, where the Kansas regiment
was stationed. Fully score Of them
We're taken to the hospital.
Among the incidents of the day it is
cited that Privates Hartley and Fitch
of the Thirteenth Minnesota regiment,
were both wounded in the legs by the
same bullet, and Private Mitchell Of
Company B. of the Kansas regiment,
while assisting a couple Of men to the

MANILA, Feb. 14.-The United States
gunboat Petrol has arrived with dis
patches from Brigadier General Miller
to Major General Otis announcing that
Iloilo had been taken by the combined
military and naval forces on Saturday
morning. General Miller, on the re-
ceipt Of his instructions from Manila,
sent native commissioners ashore from
the United States transport St. Paul
with a communication for the rebel
governor of 1loilo calling upon him to
surrender within a time stated and
warning him not to make a demonstra-
ton in the interval. The natives imme
diately moved their guns and
Prepared to Defend Their Position.
Thereupon the Petrol fired two warning
guns, the rebels Immediately opening
fire on her. The Petrol and Baltimore
then bombarded the town, which the
rebels, having set on fire, evacuated.
American troops were promptly
landed and extinguished the fires in all
cases of foreign residences, but not be-
fore considerable damage was done. It
is believed the enelny's loss during the
bombardment was heavy, but no Amer
lean casualties are reported.

{ MANILA, Feb. Sit is now known
that the Filipino loss is fully $500
killed, with wounded vastly in excess
of that number and thousands are held
prisoners. All this has been achieved
at the cost Of IS Americans killed and
276 wounded. There are25 Americans
missing and unaccounted for. Nofewer
than 10 Of the native villages have sur
rendered or been captured. Several
have been destroyed because their
houses harbored men, frequently dis
guised in female attire, who shoot from
windows and roof tops at the Americans.
Many guns and ton of ammunition
have been seized. AS might have been
expected there has been looting in the
outskirts, but it has not been general
and has been done in direct violation of
orders.
Among the distinguished prisoners
captured in Manila since the outbreak
of hostilities are Captain A. G.. Esca-

Government Horticulturist and Flor
ida


L. S. Perkins writing from Wash
ingtOn to the Dimes-UniOn and Citizen
says:
One of the most important expert
ments ever undertaken by the Agricul-
tural Department has just been put
under way in Florida. This is the in
PRODUCTION of large numbers of vines
from the table grape growing regions
of France. Your correspondent gave
a brief notice of this some months ago,
but at that time matters had not suf-
iciently advanced for detailed men
tion. Now, however, as contracts have
been signed and THE vines delivered,
the plans, so far as developed, are
ready for publication.
The Secretary of Agriculture has en-
tered into a ten-ye'ar contract with Mr.
III. Won Luttichau of carleton, Alachua
county, for the experimental cultiva-
ton of over 100 choice European va
Tieties of Vinifera grapes, amounting
ITO about 1000 vines and cuttings, with
a view to make grape culture success
in Florida, if such an achievement is
possible. They originated in various
parts Of Europe, from Southern Rus
STA to England, France, Germany, ETC.,
although the stocks upon which they
were grated are of American origin

and passes to the United States with
the title. If opened for settlement to
soldiers many of our young men will
remain and become permanent set
tiers. Some associations of this kind
have already been organized. The
price of improved land ranges from 81
to $2O per acre gold, depending upon
the location and value of the improve
ments. DR.. Knapp spent several days
in real estate Office examining plats
of plantations and discussing improve
ments and prices with proprietors Of
estates from a number of the islands.
A sugar plantation Of $500 acres in the
extreme southern portion of LuZon
was offered at $40 per acre. 1t was
we'll situated; all arabic land good
buildings; sugar house, modern, with
vacuum pan; 800 buffaloes and 1900
people on the place. The proprietor
claimed to have received an annual
net income of $4,000 (golO from the
property. He was a Spaniard and
wanted to leave the country.
Reports of the observatory at Manila
show that the average rainfall for the
past thirty years has been seventy-fve
and four-tenths (75.4 inches It varied
considerably in different years. In 1885
the total was 1856 inches; in 1897 it was
129. 9 inches. HI December, January,
February, March, and April the rain
fall averages from half an inch to two
inches per month. In May it is nearly
as much as in the five months proceed
ing and precipitation increases till Sep
TENDER, during which it amounts on an
average to 1872 inches, then lit decreas>
es till December. The temperature is
quite uniform, averaging during the
past eighteen years II degrees for Jan
uary, the coolest month, and 1873 de-
grees for May, the warmest month.
Within that period the thermometer
only once rose to 100 degrees, and once
fell to 7O.4 degrees.
Prominent Philippines assured DR..
Knapp that upon their estates the la
borers were Industrious and thrifty
and if encouraged these conditions
would become general. A visit to the
carpenter shops, machine shops, and
various small factories satisfied him
that the Philippines make good me-
chanics when properly trained.

ta1nable on that point, about one hun
dred vines have been selected for eX-
perimental culture at the stations in
South Florida. AS there is no grape
growing region exactly like that part
of the State, time alone will Diet 4rmine
Miami, tests will be conducted to dis
cover the varieties best suited to the
east coast region, so different from the
interior of the State.
Another ephoc- making expert mrnt
for Florida was the shipping to Miami
last week of about ONE thousand hy-
brid orange trees from the department
cOnserv atOries. This shipment included
the now famous aurantium-trifOliate
cross, which t1hreat tens to revolutionize
(some day. the orange business of the
world. There are about one hundred
of these interesting trees, now in their
third year, and the intention of Mr.. H.
J. Weber, whose ente1prising skill
brought them into existence, is to az
range for their propagation at the Gov
eminent stations in several of the
Southern States. Like Mr.. Taylor, Mr..
Weber is not over sanguine as to the
immediate results of this attempt to
coerce nature, although he admits his
belief that by crossing and recrossing
with the various strains a kind of or
ange may be produced which may,
within twenty-five years, be success
fully cultivated in most of the South
ern States, if not north of Dixie.
Luther Burbank the celebrated hOrti-
culturist of California, WROTE recently
to a friend here that he saw great pos
| sibilitieS in the new "'KlOndike hy-
brid," and even went so far as to say
that oranges might yet be grown in
Canada" although he did not say he
would live to see it.
| Whatever may be the results of this
experiment, there is no denying it's i'm

ing pushed by those having it in

| Mr.. D. G. Fairchild of the depart
ment, now in South America, writes

character of work done by the Agricul-

ing in most instances smaller salaries
than are paid to the Mayors of country

prises worth untold millions to the
public. Who can ever repay William

collections of the vines have also
been sent to Rev. James Bolton of Co.
coanut, Dade county, and to Dr.. J.
| F. COrligan of st. Leo, Pasco county,
as we'll as to the department. station of
Miami, and TO Mr.. w. e. Common of
New Smyrna. Mr.. Common has been eX-
perimenting there with Hungarian
wine grapes for some time, and has in
his employ skilled vintner, Mr.. H.
Luthge, who can he depended upon
| to make the vines do their duty if any,
body can. Other lots of the vines
| have been sent To Southern Pines, N.
| c., Daphne, Ala, and Port Eads, La.
| 1t is interesting to note that several
varieties of the Vinifera vines already
| in cultivation ait Southern Pines pass
ed through the recent cold snap uncov-
cred and without injury, although the
| temperature fell ito several degrees be-
low zero.
This enterprise is only i'm the expert
| mental stage, but it ought to be a mat
| ter of great encouragement to the
fruit growers of Florida, whose orange
trees and produce have so severely
suffered from successive freezes. There
| is no use, however, of attempting to
get any more vines of these new
grapes from the department ait this
time. The supply ON hand has already
been disposed Of and no further pub
lie distribution of the vines will be
made until it shall have been deter
mined what varieties, if any, will give
satisfactory results; such varieties will
then be extensively propag gated and dis
tributed by the department, and the
public supplied as far as practicable
Until that time, correspondence with
the department on this subject will be
useless, taking up the time of the of
ficials to no purpose.
Mr.. w. A. Taylor, the eminent po-
mologist, who has had this matter di-
rectly in hand, said the other day:
eve are not over-enthusiastic over the
final outcome of the experiment. There
is no boom business about it. There
lis, however, a strong promise of sue
cess. The more promising types will
be determined when they begin fruit

ed at Government expense, and if it
is a failure, no private individual will
suffer- No means will be spared to
make it "a success. The vineyards will
be looked after by trained experts
from the department, at intervals, and
if diseases or destructive insects
make their appearance, they will be
cOmbated with the most effective ma
terials obtainable. Prof. Galloway of
the division of vegetable pathology is
now at work devising spraying COM
pounds that will be especially adapted
to the needs of the Vinifera vines in
| Florida. It is not to be expected that
any very considerable proportion OF
the varieties now being tested will
prove profitable at once, but if only
three or four of the kinds we have sent
down there prove satisfactory, Florida
will be greatly benefited, and our aim
