FOREIGN NEWS.

While greater optimism prevails at
the French capital 1t is admitted that
negotiations with Germany regarding
the Moroccan affair remain difficult.
The statement Of Premier Asquith In
the British house Of commons and
Premier Caillaux's advice to the
French to keep cool and be prudent,
relieved the tension at a moment when
relief was most needed and the dis
Greet military preparations Of the gov
eminent were giving rise to the ap-
prehension that war was not impos.
sible.
Premier Laurier and the Liberal
government of Canada have decided
to place their political future in the
hands Of the electorate of the Domin-
ion, to be decided almost entirely on
the reciprocity issue. A general cleo
ton will be called within two months
and upon the result, which will be
governed largely by the attitude of the
people for or against reciprocity, will
depend the continued political ascend.
ency Of the Liberal party.
The most pessimistic views regard.
ing the acuteness of the Moroccan
crisis were largely confirmed by the
British prime minister In the house
of commons when, with a manner as
impressive as his words, he read from
a manuscript which had been care
fully prepared a warning to Germany
that Great Britain proposed to stand
for what she considered her rights and
to maintain the balance Of power in
Europe.
The revolutionary crisis in Haiti,
with the fall! of President Simon's gov
eminent apparently inevitable, caused
the navy department to order the
scout cruiser Salem, sister of the
Chester ana of the swiftest boats
In the navy, to Port au Prince to re-
inforce the american warships patrol

The big Canadian Pacific liner Em-
press of China is fast on a submerged
reef off Molina Saki light, forty miles
from Yokohama. Her passengers
transferred to the mainland in small
boats from two Japanese cruisers,
which were summoned by wireless.
I After the most thrilling contest in
the history of cross country aviation,
Lieutenant Conneau, who races under
the name of Andre Beaumont, won
the $4,000 prize offered by the Lon
don Daily Nail for a successful flight
around England and Scotland.
The steamer John Irwin struck q
rock and sank off Beaver Harbor, N.

washed ashore on a hatch and it is
believed he is the only survivor of the
dozen or more men in the steamers

The eleventh parliament Of Canada
has passed out of existence and upon
the political complexion of the new one
to be elected Sept. 81 will depend the
fate of the reciprocity agreement be-
tween the United States and Canada.
The Haitian revolution is spreading
in the south, where heretofore it has
made little progress. The town of

DEMANDS that
GOMEZ RESIGN
Rebel Leaders Ultimatum to
Cuban President
UPRISING NEAR HAVANA

Former R%evoiutionist Starts Out With
a Small Force Of Mounted Men and
Threatens to Apply the Torch and
Destroy Property Unfortunately
Unless the Present Executive Quits
His Position.
Havana, Aug. IAN uprising
against the government, apparently
of a serious character, occurred at
Regla, a suburb of Havana, situated
across the harbor. when General Gull
lermo Acevedo, a revolutionary vet
eran, with eight or ten companions
armed and mounted, took the field. 1t
Is reported that the party was REIN
forced later by 200 men.
Before leaving Regla, Acevedo is
sued a manifesto denouncing the adj
ministration of President Gomez as
scandalous and corrupt and adjurinE
all patriotic Cubans to rise and over
throw it. He declared that he would
give Gomez fifteen days In which to
resign, after which, if the warning
was not obeyed, he intended to apply
the torch and destroy property indis-
criminately until the whole island was
reduced to ashes.
Starting forth from Regla the In
surgents skirted Havana, seemingly
bound for Pinar Del Rio. They halted
at the suburb of Luyano, where they
seized a citizen named Naranjo, de-
handing that he act as their guide.
On his refusal Naranjo was shot dead,
and the party hen rode on.
Troops in Pursuit.
Strong attachments of rurales and
regulars have been dispatched in pur-
suit of the rebels. The country in
which they are operating is thickly
settled and it is probable that the
rurales will have NJ difficulty in fol-
lowing the trail. There are rumors
that a fight has already taken place.
Acevedo headed an uprising in Pr
a Del Rio province a year ago. He

statement said that Acevedo was &c

On leaving Regla the insurgents
proceeded to the nearby town of Qua

recruits, failing which they started
westward skirting this city.

CHEAP BEEF PRODUCTION.
ollass Nest Gesnemieal Reushass For
Cattle Feeding.

oIlass Nest Economical Reushass For
Cattle Feeding.
Experiment stations In four states
have found silage to be tho most eco
nomical feed we have for beef pro-
duct1on. Farmers who have fed 81
lage to steers declare there would be
no money in cattle feeding without
ailage.' Gains as cheap as 615 cents q
pound have been made during the bal
y part Of a feeding period. silage in
beef production has come to stay, and
those feeders who are the frst in the
field are the ones to reap the most
bneft, writes q. F. Ferrin in the
Breeders Gazette.
At the Indiana experiment station
for a $50 day feeding period 100
pounds gain was made at a cost Of
$7.41. The ration consisted Of 20.6
pounds Of silage, 1853 pounds Of corn
and three pounds Of cottonseed meal.
Considering the value Of the pork
made by hogs following steers. silage
gives remarkably cheap gains. The

q feeding period Of 100 days. The
steers making these gains were given
all the silage they would eat. With

would have cost $1.55 per hundred
weight more.
There are two methods Of feeding
silage. One is to make silage the only
roughage, the other to feed a small
amount Of hay. If the silage is Of good

start is made in balancing the ration
and a. smaller amount Of sllage is used.
Either clover or alfalfa hay is espe-
cially good to feed with silage. Timothy
hay brings more on the market than
it does in the feed lot. For a concen-
trated feed both oilmeal and cotton
seed meal are used. Oilmeal is higher
in price than cottonseed meal, and its

Tapping eIoatsd Cattle.

Now that alfalfa and other green
feed IN coming on bloat, or tympany,
Of the rumen will begin to deplete the
herds. In spite Of the accurate knowl-
edge possessed by most cattle owners
in regard to this subject there are still
those who will turn hungry cattle from
dry feed into a field Of young alfalfa
and then wonder why they die so
quickly.
A good rule followed by most men
when a green pasture is to be used
for the first time is to let the cattle
ill up on dry hay first and then after
the dew is of turn the animals into
the pasture for a short time.
During the first few days it is good
policy to watch them closely. A tro-
Cur near at hand at this time will be
found to be worth more than a hun
dred stored away in some veterina-
RAMS case. If any animal bloats seri-
