TALKS TO FARMERS
Useful Information Imparted by h. stitute Workers and Participants
Value of Eucalyptus as a Timber Tree, and Advice as to Varieties Adapted to Imperial Valley Conditions. How to Eliminate Alkali.

Much information of practical value to farmers was imparted by the University represent atives and brought out by infor- nal discussion at the sessions of the Farmers Institute held in Fl Centro Opera House last week. The speakers did not attempt to Hay down the law" to the farmers of Imperial Valley, but freely admitted that there were many problems in- volved in the unfamiliar condi- tions of soil and climate which could be worked out only by ex- perience. They made sugges- tions and invited discussion, and they were as ready to receive information as give it. Perti- nent questions asked by parti- cipants in the institute brought out many interesting points and developed differences of opinion based upon the results of intelli- gent experiments, and pencils were busy making notes of the discussions.
 Dr. c. M. Haring, veterina- rian, talked of sanitary dairying and of the common diseases of domestic animals, and told how to treat-and how not to treat the disorders to which horses are subject. He was asked if glanders could be cured, and re- piled that possibly some cases were curable, but the disease ought not to be cured; the afflic- ted animals should be destroyed.
 By aid of diagrams, Dr. Har- ing explained the dentation of horses and the method of deter mining their age by examination of their teeth.
 Especial interest was mani tested in the talk of J. w. Mills on the planting of eucalyptus trees. MT. Mills said the euca- lyptus was the coming timber tree, and if planted extensively would do much to avert the menace of a timber famine in this country.

halves the old time Of thirty-fve min
utes again instead of thirty minutes,
as in 1906.
The penalty for an Illegal forward
pass and one which strikes the ground
before it strikes player of either
side has been made less severe. In
1906 it meant the loss of the ball to
the side which made the pass.
In the rules of 1907 on the first and
second down it will mean a loss of dis
tance-fifteen yards only-and not the
loss of the ball.
On the third down, however, the old
rule applies Of loss of ball. This real
~ is the main point of the difference
between the rules Of 1907 and those of
1906
The ten yard rule stands as it did

HOPES TO ARRANGE RACE
Upton Disappointed by Action
of New York Yacht Club.

London, Sept 27-Sir Thomas Lip
ton is bitterly disappointed at the fail
ure of the New York Yacht club to
accept his challenge for another series
of races for the Americas cup and is
anXiously awaiting official information
on the subject through the Royal Irish
Yacht club, Rich he hopes will give
in detail the REASONS for the American
clubs action
In an interview Sir Thomas said he
could not understand why his chal-
lenge had not been accepted, as he
had been led to believe that if he
challenged under the universal rule
which prevails for races in the United
States there was every possibility of
his challenge being favorably received.
He added, fhoWever, that he had not
given up hope Of sending a yacht to
Sandy Hook in 1908 and already had
telegraphed to William Fife, the de-
signer, to come to London for con-
sultation.
There was but one thing which Sir
Thomas was emphatic about and that
was that he would not challenge under
the old rule. One reason for this is
that there is no designer OF note in
Great Britain, which includes both
Fife and Milne, who will design boat
similar to the previous Shamrocks.
They say that to do SO would necessi-
tate the production of even a greater
freak than those which have already
gone to defeat. Besides the danger
of sailing such a boat across the At
lantic must be taken into account and
Sir Thomas is not prepared to again
risk the lives of men in such ven

CONSPIRACY CHARGED
Leaders Of Alleged Cuban Revolt
Captured in Havana.
BACKED BY AMERICAN CASH

Revolutionary Plot Originally Hatched
in New York City and Number of
Professional Rebels Employed to
Garry on the Work.
Havana, Sept. 27.-The secret po-
lice early in the day arrested General
Masso Para and a little later took
into custody General Juan Ducassi
and General Lara Miret, charged with
ocnspiring against public order.
General PARA Is the alleged leader
Of the conspiracy to start a revolution
against the Americans in Cuba with
the use Of funds supplied from or
through some firm on Broadway, New
York. It is known that simultaneous
~ with the arrival of Para at Havana
three Santo Domingans, well known
On account of their previous revolu
Aonary records, also reached this port
and 1t Is stated that other individuals
be a similar character are working in
eastern Cuba. The government has
knowledge of the fact that General
Jiminez, the ex-president of San Do
pAngo, has recently been at Santiago
dc Cuba, but whether he was connect
ed with the conspiracy is not yet
knewn.
It Is known that the conspiracy
was Matched in New York by certain
Americans whose names, it is said,
already are in the possession Of the
United States government secret Off
GERS and it is stated that the leaders
here were simply professional revolu-
tionists hired for the purpose of carry
ing On the revolt.
In consequence of the arrests made
here it is believed that the movement
will result in a fasco. Governor Ma
COON, however, is not taking any
chances. He is amply prepared with
5000 American soldiers and 5000 ru-
raj guards to crush any movement.

NOT CONSIDERED SERIOUS
Cuban Situation as Viewed by WASH
inaton Officials.

Washington, Sept. 27.-War depart
ment officials, while admitting that
agitation is rampant among the negro
failure to receive their proper share Of
the offices, declare there is little prob
ability of any uprising against the
provisional government On that &C
count. The negro population, compos-
ing 80 per cent of the people who op
posed Palma's government, claim they
have not been fairly treated. A con-
tinuation of this agitation, it is admit
ted, might have a serious effect in
driving some of the malcontents to at
tempted risings in isolated places, but
Governor Magoon is said to be pre-
pared to prevent anything like an in
surrection.
Acting Secretary of War Oliver was
at the White House during the day,
but he did not regard the stories of
Cuban revolt of sufficient Importance
to bring it to the presidents attention.
Governor Magoon is keeping the war
department advised of the situation
and is consulting freely with General
Barry and other military officers in
command Of the army Of Cuban pacifi-
cation His dispatches, for prudential
reasons, are not made public. The
agitation has been in Havana and
Pinar del Rio provinces, in the latter
province being among the lawless
class, mainly negroes.
Governor Magoon has reported that
private and official advices from San
tiago, Puerto Principe, Santa Clara
and Matanzas provinces indicate abso-
lutte tranquility there. General Barry
has telegraphed from Havana:
Referring to newspaper accounts
of agitation in Cuba have been alive
to the situation for some days, though
nothing has developed worthy of re-
porting All intelligence officers and
station commanders have been alert
and have reported everything con-
corning it. Daily reports from them
show tranquility in all provinces ex-
cept Pinar del Rio, where there is
some slight agitation among lawless
