in the central prison at Tarragona made a

repressed by the authorities.
BY prearrangement they began an uproar
while the warders were changing guard,
and then rushed into the central courtyard,
armed with knives and iron rods wrenched
from the windows Of the cells.
The convicts swarmed around the gates,
brandishing their weapons and threatening
to kill all the warders unless they handed
over their keys
Meanwhile bands of oonvicts were roam
ing through the prison. smashing windows,
doors and furniture. AS they could not
procure the keys OF the outer doors. ten
convicts set to work to make hole in tho
wall
Two companies of infantry, who had
been summoned from the barracks, arrived
Just as the conytcts had succeeded in MAX
ing a breach In the wall. The soldiers

TOBACCO GROWING IN IRELAND
Government Not Taking Measures
Favored by Prospective Planters
of the weed.

DUBLIN Aug. 1l.-(Special CableRram TO
The Bee)-It is not altogether easy to un-
derstand what is the precise attitude of the
government with regard TO the question
of tobacco cultivation in ireland. The re-
port of the advisory committee appointed
by the Irish Agricultural council to inquire
into the results obtained in 1894 was quite
encouraging enough to have justified some
enterprise on the part of both the pro-
moters and the authorities. There is no
reason to doubt that the favorable results
achieved in the County Meath could be
equaled and perhaps even surpassed in
other parts of the country, and that a
considerable number of cultivators would
be quite willing to profit by the experience
already gained and plant tobacco for them
selves, IL permitted by the state to do so.
But there is apparently no intention OF
allowing the matter to pass beyond the
purely experimental stage.
The representatives of the principal
newspapers of the United Kingdom have
just been granted permission to inspect
the works and buildings of the Irish Inter
national exhibition now in course OF con-
struction at Herbert park, Balls Bridge,
Dublin. An idea of the size of the prin-
cipal buildings may be gained from the
| fact that the central building has an area
of 10000 feet, the. machinery pavilion 10000
| feet and the fine arts gallery 10000 feet.
| Amongst the sections which It is intended
the exhibition will include are: Irish in
dustries, history and education, fine arts,
including photography, engravings, etc;
arts and crafts, liberal arts, manufactures
| textiles and various industries, engineer
ing and shipbuilding, civil engineering and
| transportation, electric motors, gas light
| ing and heating. agricultural implements
and chemical industries, agriculture and
| food products, horticulture and arboricul-
ture, sport and fishing, mining and metal
lursy, hygiene, womens section and cot
| tage industries.

Lack Of system in sprinkling the re-

as well, but the principal criticism is
applied to the method Of sprinkling
which allows some streets to be over
