'oiumn, consisting OF 1iO officers and
men, on reaching a place called BInango-
nam, was ambushed by a large Filipino
iorce. communication with the main force
was severed, and the entire column was
captured"

Bay, on hearing the news. retired TO
Manila, stating that he had been re-
called by Maior-General Otis, on the
ground that a rising ia Manila was i'm
mnent."

FROsT-PHOOF ORANGE TREES.
Agricultural Departments Expert
ments Successful so Far.

WASHINGTON. April l9.-The Agricul-
tural Department. which has been eX-
pcrimenting to produce sweet orange
that will stand the frosts that have re-
peatodly swept the orange belt in Florida,
has progressed to the point OF budding
the oranges so secured on growing trees
in Florida. Or. Weber Of the Division
of Vegetable Pathology, has just gone 10
Florida taking with him a large number
of the new plants. The hardy orange
evolved by the department is at present
termed THE trifOliate orange II has
been produced by breeding the pollen of
the sweet orange into the buds of the
Japanese Trifoliata. and vice versa. The
TrifOliata grows as far north as Phila-
delphia. but bears no fruit worth men
tioning though ii is d cousin of the sweet
orange.
Seedlings from the hybrids so far pro-
duced promise TO give an exceedingly
hardy and valuable fruit-producing tree.
Or. Webber's mission I'm Florida is TO bud
a quantity of these seedlings on live
orange trees. This, it is hoped. will give
definite results several years sooner than
If the department waited for the hybrid
seedlings TO mature and bear.
The departments experiment will be as
sisted by a number of Florida growers
and the work will be extended north, in
time, as far as Washington. Precautions
are being taken to keep the new hybrids
thoroughly in control of the department.
to prevent worthless or inferior varieties
being put on the market. When the work
has progressed sufficiently. the new va
ricties will be distributed through the

JAPANESE TOBACCO DECREE.
Senator Martin and Nr. Swanson
Look After Home Interests.


WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Mar
tin and Representative Swanson, of Nir-
ginia, have been in conference with State
Department officials concerning a recent
decree Of the japanese Government,
which, they thought. might have a Sc
rious effect on the tobacco interests Of
Virginia and other sections. The call
was mainly To secure information and
TO bring about any representations which
would insure full protection 10 the Ameri-
can industry.
At the japanese Legation it IS explained
that the tobacco decree referred 10 can
have no ill-effect on the American trade
Some time ago the japanese Government
adopted the plan in vogue in some Euro
pean countries of monOpOliZing the leaf
tobacco industry. making IL a source Of
government income This was confined
To the japanese product of leaf tobacco,
the government buying II from the grow
or and selling it 10 the manufacturer.
Recently this monopoly has been ex-
tended TO all leaf tobacco. Of foreign as
well as Japanese production. so that the
American and other importations Of for
eign tobacco is taken by the government
and sold 10 the manufacturers as they
may desire IL. This, however. does not
apply 10 any kind of manufactured to-
baccO, cigars o. cigarettes, although the
duty on these was slightly increased by
the last Diet. The duty is now about 1O)
per cent. ad valorem. which Is said to be
far below the average American duty on
manufactured tobaccos. The japanese
Governpent's action as 10 leaf tobacco
does not so into effect until after the
new treat between the United States
and Japan becomes ative--yiz., July
l7th next
The Japanese Minister says the Japa-
nese use OF American leaf tobacco has
been steadily increasing OF late and that
this will go on, as the recent action is
not designed TO restrict or limit the for
eign import, but merely To allow the
government TO enjoy the profit on an
article OF luxury.
