Absolute Tranquility

NEW YORK, May 2S-The following
dispatch has been received from Presi-
dent Gomez of Cuba:
with the exception of nine municipal
districts in Oriente province. in which
scattered bands of negroes are still ma
rauding, absolute tranquility prevails
throughout the republic. Railroads run
regularly, there Is no interruption in the
telegraph nor telephone services, and
sugar mills are grinding. In several
places nothing but the natural alarm
remains. / have not employed any ex-
traordinary measures. l have simply
acted with energy and promptness to
such an extent that I doubt that the
action taken by me can be equaled.
Since the present movement began,
six days ago, l have been able to limit
1t to a part of Oriente province, and
I have sent to that locality over 5000
men of the regular army, and j am
still sending additional forces. | have
ferent mayors, and have protected the
towns and property to such an extent
that depredations have only been COM
mitted in isolated stores in oriente.
/. Many Offers of Aid. -,
Public spirit is identified with my
purpose so much that could easily or
eanize a large body of volunteers conf
posed of veterans and civilians. Offers
of gratuitous service are pouring in
from all parts of the country. One
which l highly appreciated came from
the United States, in which 800 cowboys
volunteered their very valuable services
to fight the negroes in arms. / have
been compelled to refuse this kind Of

1000 kilometers is occupied by scattered
bands of negroes, who are maraudins

False News Reported.
False and alarming news has been
published from here. insignificant
events have been magnified for political
and speculative purposes. If you will
send an emissary who Is honest and
knows his business to travel throughout
the island he will find that, with the
exception of the mountainous zone
where negroes in arms are to be found
there is nothing but perfect order,
work, peace, and a decided wish to END
this shameful revolt without the aid OF
foreign cooperation, and you may rest
assured that we will crush this revoil.

Pierre, Aug. 2l.-J. d. Carr
was in from his ranch on Chey-

says that he has fifty acres un-
der irrigation this year on his
project which is to cover five
hundred acres when the bitches
are all completed. He lifts wat
er by a gasoline pump, directly
from Cheyenne river and only
needs to lift it about twenty feet
to get it into the head of his
ditch. The tract under irriga-
ton this year is cropped to corn,
potatoes, sugar beets and beans
principally, but when the whole
project is completed most Of the
tract will be seeded to alfalfa.
Mr.. Carr says he keeps four men
busy on the fifty acre tract, and
that it is largely experimental

to secure the required expert
ence this year to properly handle

will have under water next year.

Kadoka, S. d., Aug. 21.--
Special: Bugologists are great
" interested in the peculiar and
unusual taste exhibited by q
horde of army worms which ara
operating in limited territory
IN a limited territory in vest
"rn Stanley county, near Kado-
ka. For years one of tie great
est vegetation pests of the farm
ers there as well as In many 9TH
rr parts Of the state has been
the Russian thistles, or tumble
weeds, as they are commonly
known. The army worms operat-
ing near kadoka have developed
a sudden taste for Russian this
ties, which during past years
have always been "passed up"
by them. The army worms first
appeared on the farm of s. 8.
Hughes, near Kadoka, and he
thought his corn and other crops
were "goner."
But much to his ssrprise and
delight, the army worms devoted
their entire attention to the Run
sian thistles. They clean up the
thistles and leave nothing but
the clear stalks standing, and
do not to the slightest degree
molest the grain and corn in
the fields where they are operat-
ing. Having now devoured all
the Russian thistles on the Hukhe
farm the army worms have gons
to the adjacent farm owued BY
j. A. Hughes, where 1hey are at
tacking the thistles with vigor.
The peculiar part Of their opera
tions is that they are working
among the thistles down the rows
of corn, but are not molesting
the growing corn. The selection
of Russian thistles for food is Q
new "stunt" by the army worms,
and the matter will be reported
to the experts of the agricultural
department at Washington.

first time this year. The success
of these experiments this year
mean that within a short time in
the future, the whole of the low

will be handled through irriga-

den spots of the state.
