SPANISH WAR PRIZES.
Two Captured ships neina Converted
Into American GunbontS mt the
Port of Hong-IkonR.

Before long the navy will be the rich
er by two good ships, which are being
converted into American gunboats
from Spanish vessels oy Naval Con-
structor Capps Mt Hong Kong, aided by
Constructor IIobson. Mr.. Capps is un-
der orders to.return to this country,
md will probably come back on the
Olympia with Dewey. The work at
Hong Kong Is being carried on under
Admiral Dewcy's orders.
The department people have been
anxious to hear how the work was pro-
crossing, and the first report to come
from Capps directly to the bureau of
construction reached Washington the
other day. That officer says the decks
of the Isla dc Cuba and the Isle de
Luzon can be saved, They arc of teak
and were not submerged. 1t will be
necessary only to recalk them. The
money thus saved will be devoted to
other details of rehabilitation The
ships will be equipped with the latest
electrical appliances, including search
lights, the dynamos to be bought be-
ing those of French type. Much of
the material comes from the Pacific
coast, the nearest market
Mr.. Capps made an interesting dis
covery while overhauGng the two Span
ish ships, which indicates the methods
of The Spnniards in their shipbuilding.
He found stored beneath the boilers,
magazines and other places fully 60
tons of pig iron, pig lead and scrap
iron as ballast, n most unusual amount
of dead weight to use for any such pur-
pose. All of this which can be will be
removed, and the stability of the ships
maintained by lowering the top
weights. 1t is proposed also to re-
move the coming towers and the space
and weight thus saved will be devoted
to the stowage of coal. The boilers of
the two ships need a thorough over
hauling and retubing. The motive
machinery has turned out well and will
be put in good condition.

PORTO RICAN SOLDIERS.
lives Wearing Uncle Sans Uniform
VIII Soon lie Doing Duty.

Within few weeks fully organized
battalion of Porto Ricans wearing
Uncle Sans uniform will be perform
ing duty on their native island under
the direction of American officers. The
organization of the command was nu-
thorized by Secretary Alger, and Gen.
Henry directed the commanding Off
GERS of the ports of San Juan, Ponce,
Mayaguese, Arecibo, Aguadilla, Cayey,
lIumacao, Adiuntas, Utuado, Ynuso,
Coamo San German, Bnyamon, Manita,
Lares and Albonito to designate an of
ficer to enlist, equip and instruct %
men, including one sergeant and two
corporals. Gen. Henry recommended
the enlistment of Porto Ricans because
there was little work and great deal
of rcstlessncss on the island.
Reports show there is no lack of vol
unteers and that more than half of
the battalion has been enlisted, though
some of the towns have not yet fur
nished their quota of men. In view of
the withdrawal of the Nineteenth in
fantry of Porto Rico and the fact that
there remained only the Fifth cavalry,
Eleventh infantry and three batteries
of the Fifth artillery, the equipment of
the 400 Porto Ricans as American sol
ditrs will be welcome addition to the
American force and enable the COM
manding general to preserve peace and
order on the island.

OHIO STATE NEWS.
REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
The State Delegates Meet in Columbus fos
the Purpose of Nominating Candi-
dates for state Offices

NOLUMHlb, W. juno =. L ne rPpuD-
can state convention met here Thurs
day afternoon under the temporary
Organization that has been selected by
the state central committee.
The contests from seven counties
will affect five districts. THOSE from
Hamilton and Cuyahosa counties will
affect the two congressional districts
in each county. The First and Second
at Cincinnati and the Twentieth and
Twenty7first at Cleveland. The other
contest affects the Twelfth district in
which Franklin county has n majority
of the delegates and the contest is
from the home county of Judge Nash.
The convention assembled at 4 p. M,
and Hon. Cyrus Huling, chairman of
the state central committee, made the
usual congratulatory address on the
work of the committee on the last cam
paign and announced the following
temporary organization:
Chairman an--Congressman w. S Kerr,
of Mansfield.
Secretary-H f. L. Lampson, of
Ashtabula.
Sergeant-at-Arms-F Frederick Bader,
of Cincinnati.
Assistants. N. Field, of Columbus.
Chaplain-Rev. S S. Palmer, of Co
Iiumbps.
fo4Atter the keynote speech of Chair
mHu Kerr, the congressional districts
were called for reports of their respee-
iveymembers of the different com
mittees that were selected at the dis
trict meetings earlier in the after
noon.
At the district meetings Thursday
afternoon the Cox delegation from
Hamilton county met in two district
meetings and went through the forms
of eiecting the same members of the
committees as had been selected at
previous meetings in Cincinnati. This
was done to prevent the anti-CoX dele
cation from pre-empting the rooms as
signed by the state committee FOR the
First and Second districts, and also for
the purpose of complying with the of
fetal programme as well as the call to
the letter even as to time and places.
Senator Foraker created sensation
Thursday by declarations which in
dicated to delegates that he was oppos-
ing Senator Hanna. When the large
McKisson delegation arrived at noon,
they serenaded Senator Foraker at the
Southern hotel, the headquarters of
the anti-Hanna and the anti-Nash
men. The senator said he joined them
in putting on his fighting clothes.
Hon. II. M. Daugherty lives at WASH
lnGton @. H., Fayette county, and when
the delegations arrived from his home
he was serenaded and made q speech,
which some interpreted, in connec-
ton with the speech of Senator Fora
Eer, as indicating that the field was
showing dc dance to Senator llama
and Judge Nash.
CoLUMBUs, O., June 2.-Thc state CEN
tral committee met at O'clock Thurs
day morning. At 1O:30 it was an
nounced that the Cincinnati contest
had been disposed of by giving the
Cox delegation tickets and badges. The
committe will bring the matter before
the convention as soon as it opens with
the idea of having action taken that
will admit Cox members to credentials
committee with out contest, Eshelby's
delegation being declared to have no
standing.

Highest Mountain in the Island
of FOrmOsn.

The ascent of Mount Morrison, the
highest mountain in Formosa, has been
made by X. r. Stoepel, an explorer of
note. On the mountain near the sum
nit he discovered tribe of human be-
ings that had never seen the face of Il
white man, and possibly had never seen
a Chinamnn. These people were of fe-
rocious aspect, extremely ugly, thin
and entirely naked. They were skull
hunters, evidently, and existed on wild
animals. and were not averse to human
flesh.
Lower down on the mountain he dis
covered a wild race of Malays which
seems to have intermingled with the
Chinese race.

Poultry.

When the millennium comes to
the poultry kingdom, and the bone
mill and the clover butter are in
daily operation, the egg output will
be increased many times, with profit
to every man who handles the ma
chine.
All bowel diseases among fowls
are not cholera. A sad look, a blue
comb, a violent diarrhpa, with
droppings of sulphur yellow, thirst,
gait unsteady, bumped back and
half closed eyes-that is cholera.
1t has no cure; but ordinary troubles
can be stopped by withholding food
for few times. Then give them
dry grains, parched and cracked.
Because the feed to the poultry is
given out in small quantities, we
seldom count the cost, and the fact
is that under ordinary careless
methods it often costs more to get q
fowl ready for market than it is fin.
ally worth and yet, by attention to
proper methods, there is almost no
animal food which can be produced
at so small cost, in proportion to
its selling value, as poultry.
1t has been proved by careful ex-
pertinent that a mixed ration of
cracked corn and beef scraps, of
equal amount, increased weight in
poultry at cost of three and three.
fourths cents pound, while when
fed on the corn only it was at cost
of more than twice that amount.
There is no more valuable fertili.
Ger than the droppings from fowls,
and they should never be wasted.
Put them in barrels at every clean
ing up, and in the spring mix them
with ordinary garden soil. This
will make most excellent applica-
tion for the garden beds or the flow
er pots.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1899-03-31
Sheep.

Are some of your lambs quitting
growth, and really going backward?
The whole trouble probably is that
they are crowded out by the strong
err, driven away from the grain
trough and choice places at the
feeding rack. Sort them out at
once, separate them, and give them
a little extra care. If they are worth
anything at all, they are worth feed
ing well.
Too much dry food is not best for
the ewes; give them a variety, en-
bodying vegetable diet. This is
Just the period of the year when they
should be given a daily morning
ration of roots, sliced up and plenti-
fully sprinkled with meal or bran.
Turnips and beets are especially
valuable, greatly facilitating the
generation and flow of milk, keep
ing the digestive organs in healthy
state and adding strength to the
future flock.
Mutton is healthier and cleaner
than the flesh of any other animal /;
its diseases are not hidden, and the
sheep eat no filth; they impart no
scrofula or trichiua; but nutritious
as our mutton is it might be made
better. With better attention, farm
ers might serve themselves and the
public better.
There is no more scab in Aus
tralia, they say, for they have per-
sistently used the hot baths Of sui
phur aud tobacco, following with
that Of sulphur and quieklime. No

HORTICULTURE,

Nothing is more essential about
the orchard than good draining.
Although tree will stand almost
any amount of water, it can not exist
if any water remains about its roots.
The roots of an old strawberry
plant are brown in color, and shriv-
eled; those of young plant are al
ways bright and yellow, fresh and
clean looking. There is no reason
why we should be deceived in them.
Clematis has no rival as a strong
growing blossoming plant in masses
on rock work. For the veranda, the
fence or pillars along the garden
walk there is no more choice climb
er than those of the finer varieties
Look over the orchard before bus
Ter days come. Where a tree has
been trimmed or topped during the
winter the spring finds growth of
vigorous sprouts about the stumps
of the severed limbs, and the low
er branches, which we wish to
strengthen, become weaker; remove
all these useless growths.
The best time to prune any fruit
tree is when it can be done with a
POShSI hllIlOH Dub b'iiS 10
A good pair of pruning shears should
be large enough to cut off any
branches necessary if the orchard
has been at all we'll cared for in the
past; but the saw must be used
sometimes. Cut clearly and smooth
ly, that the wound may heal as soon
as possible.
A wide spreading, low tree is pre-
ferable for all kinds of fruit, though
the habit of growth sometimes COM
pels a changing in the model. In
any event, so prune that the branch
es will be evenly balanced, and so
that the sunlight can enter every
part of the top. There is such thing
as adding to both the fruitfulness
and the beauty of a tree by trim
ming. You need no other instructor
than your good judgment.
