the shattered federal army command
cd by General Refugio Velasco is ma
king its final stand in TorreOn today.
Crippled by terrific losses and deser-

up the bravest fight ever recorded in
the history of Mexico. but advices re-
ceived here early this forenoon from
Gomez PallaciO indicate that the end
OF the bloody conflict is near.
The rebel military headquarters re-
Ceiyed word that a small body of fed

Del Huarache, on the south edge OF
the city, and another was surrounded
in a fortified adobe structure in the
southwestern section, but General Viii
las aides reported that both of these
government forces We're short OF am
munitiOn and that their capture or
annihilation was assured. The great
or part of the fort artillery has been
captured.
The outcome of the battle was prac-
of Villas men on Monday night when
they captured seven heavy artillery
pieces. These cannon were immedi-
ately turned on the federals and their
fire resulted in the forced Withdrawal
Of Nelasco's men from the main pO-

took place under q rain of shells and
bombs that ripped their lines TO pieces
but General NelasCo saved the rem

Fragments of Dispatches Indi-
cate Terrible Toll Taken
BY Gale Off Coast of New

MONTREAL. Que, April THAT
zoo sailors have perished in the ter
rife storm sweeping New Foundland
was the fear expressed in marine cir
cles today following the receipt of
the following brief dispatch from St.
Johns, y. F.:
Terrible disaster: 200 lost"
The message came in reply TO one
sent early in the day asking for a re-
port on conditions in the storm swept
district Another dispatch received
at noon said:
"One hundred and fifty men belong
ing to sealer New Foundland adrift
in blizzard on ice fees. 1t is feared
all have perished. Fifty dead and
dying have been recovered"
Though the two dispatches came
from different persons, the number
of men mentioned in each comedies
and it is believed that several sealing
vessels have been lost.
The New Foundland was a British
crew driven steamer, hailing from ST.
Johns She was 222 feet long and
registered Sos tons.
The New FOundland was built at
Quebec in 1872 for j. Harvey and was
equipped with wireless. Capt. j.

up TO VnlS Time are limited in that di
reetion. Hemlock stumps have beer
burned, however, an odd but effective
device being used. A number of 80
penny nails were driven into spots OF
the wood which would be exposed to the
fire, five or six nails being driven into
each spot. The heads of the spikes
wes left sticking out about an inch
The fire was then built in the usual way
Iron is good conductor of heat, Sc
when the fire was burning, the heat fol
lowed the nails into the wood, drying
out and making it more combustible
The stumps were destroyed in this way
Green stumps will burn very well
when started, though they are little
more difficult to fire. The bark. which
is nature s protection to the growing
tree against the extremes of tempera-
ture, should be removed Chop through
the sapwood in few places. Then
with good kindling and ordinary care,
green stumps may be fired. In expert
ments which have been made in clear
ings of Oregon and Washington, stumps
of all kinds, from so years old to few
weeks, have been burned out.
More difficult to handle than green
stumps of otherwise fairly combustible
wood are the stumps of white fir and
cedar. The former trees are also known
as balsam. Balsam stumps frequently
become so wet that they will not float
Cedar stumps likewise will absorb much
moisture. Furthermore, their roots are
often small and numerous, and it is the
big roots which yield most readily to
char pitting Men of Western Washing
ton and Oregon who have succeeded in
char -pitting other tree stumps, report
many absolute failures with cedar and
white fir. Among them it is quite gen.
orally agreed that in bottoms where
white fir and cedar predominates, the
char-pit method is more difficult of
operation than on benches where red
fir and equally combustible stumps are
found in soil which is Of a clayey con
sistency.
Sparks, however, has succeeded in fir
ing white fir and cedar, and, while ac.
knowledging it to be difficult thing
to do, believes that it can be done where
the necessary preliminary steps are
taken. His method begins with the
ehopping away of the bark and sapwood
and the exposing of as much of the roots
as possible so that in the dry season
the stumps can dry out. He does the
firing in the very dryest season of the
year. Anger holes are bored into the
stumps,. nails are driven in, pitch and
other concentrated fuel is used in the
and every precaution is taken
to dry the stump and make the fire as
hot as fire can be made. The cover
should be put on with every possible
care.

Removing Stumps at Moderate Cost
j. L. Ashlock of the Washington State College Gives Much
Valuable Information

Upon investigating such cases, Sparks
discovered that where failures occurred
it seemed to be because the top of the
stump had been burned instead of the
base and roots. Another class of fail
ures We're apparently due to neither the
top nor the roots having taken the fire.
This desultory kind of success did not
add to the popularity of r-pitting
stumps, and for months the outcome of
the Investigations was dubious.
Sparks again took up the scientific
side of the question. Radiated heat, he
reasoned, travels in straight lines, and
when it strikes an opposing surface, the
angle at which it Is deflected is equal
to the angle at which it strikes That
lis, if the bulk of the imprisoned heat
comes against the inner part of the COW
erlng along perpendicular lines, it will
be thrown back perpendicularly. or into
the fire. But if the lines along which
the heat approached the cover formed
an angle the bulk of the heat would
either be thrown into the stump higher
up, or away from the stump into the
ground, this depending of course upon
the angle of contact. In other words. if
the cover were piled too high up the
side of the stump, and if it were flat
tened too much, most of the heat would
be driven into the ground. In either
case, firing would not occur. The heat
from the fire should be driven back
along perpendicular lines into the fire
from which it came. The intense heat
generated by this manner of radiation
and reflection is shown by the occa
sional forming of clinker under the
crown of the stump.
To overcome the difficulty which is
experienced in regulating the height of
the cover, beginners are simply advised
to experiment till they find how high
the pile should be for their particular
conditions, No definite rule can be
given.

Pitch For Kindling.

While pitch is useful in the kindling,
pitch in the stump retards the process.
This is because charcoal burning is
largely matter of distllation, and an
excess of resinous substance in the
stump naturally makes the process of
distillation slower; that is the pitchy
constituent of wood is distilled off in
stead of burning as it does in an open
flame. Rather curiously, water an en-
tirely non -combustible substance, and
pitch which is highly inflammable, alike
retard the process of char pitting.
Of the economic Importance Of a
method of removing stumps which is
within reach of the man who by neces-
sity is compelled to rely upon his bare
hands, his ak, and fire, and which can
be operated successfully upon all stumps
of ordinarily combustible wood as big as
they grow and down to eight or twelve
inches in diameter, little need be said

Suitable Fuels.

AnOlner line OF experimentation has
been to find different fuels which are
cheap and suitable for use where wood
cannot readily be obtained for kindling,
which is often the case in seasons of
prolonged rain. Fuel oil has been found
to be very good for this purpose. This
is the same material which is used by
oil burning locomotives. In using this
fuel oil for stump burning, the stumps
are prepared by taking off the bark and
digging away the surface soil to depth
of six or seven inches, making a trench
about a foot wide and the side sloping
toward the stump. Some sawdust is put
in the trench, or in the absence of saw
dust, a few chips. The kindling is nee
essary to ignite the oil, which, like coal,
will not burn we'll until heated Then
the oil is poured over the kindling.
Next, some bark and pieces Of wood are
thrown over the fuel oil to hold the COW
ering up. Next, clay or cinders are put
on, or soil, if it is the right kind. From
this point on the usual care is given.
| 1t is not necessary to use fuel oil in
ldry seasons where combustible material
can be secured.
Recent experiments have been made
with the view of reducing the amount of
| fuel necessary to start the fire. Stumps
were selected where two roots were To-
Gated about the right distance apart
| for small fire between them. Then
the bark was removed, after which a
small hole about foot deep was dug
between the roots. Then an auger hole
was bored from the side of each root
opposite the hole, piercing down and
across the roots, and coming out about
half way between the ground line and
the bottom Of the hole.
Then the fire was started in the hole,
using not more kindling than could
easily be carried at one armful. When
the fuel had burned down to bed of
Goals, one pint of fuel oil was poured
down each Of the auger holes, the holes
then being covered over lightly to pre-
vent too strong draft. The following
day it was found that the stumps had
been successfully fired. The advantage
of using auger holes is that there is af-
forded the opportunity of supplying the
fire with concentrated fuel without dis
turbing the cover, and the auger holes
furnish vent through and under the
wet sapwood, thus evaporating moisture
in the wood and making it more sus-
|ceptible to the fire.

WILL GEN. NASH
RESIGN OFFICE?
RECENT DECISION IN FAVOR OF
o5EAR PLACES HIM INA
PECULIAR POSITION.

Atlanta, Jan. 27.-The decision of
the Nash-Obear controversy in the
! safe militia in favor of Quartermaster
General ObeaTx has put Adjt Gen.
Nash in a rather delicate position.
When he attacked Gen. Obear's Office
it was generally understood, and, in
fact, Gen. Nash himself was at least
once quoted as saying that if Obear
was not ousted, Gen Nash himself
would resign.
Gen. Nash has not resigned. nor do
his friends think there is any imme-
nate likelihood of his doing so. Gen.
Nash maintains that his attitude in
the whole affair has been purely inl-
personal and was prompted solely by
desire to bring the military estab-
llshment of georgia within the mean
ing of the Dick law as he saw it.
Gen. Obear and his friends, how
ever cannot overlook the fact that
Gen. Nash has a personal dislike for
Gen. Obear
1t may be that the row will be IL k
en- to the state legislature. Under the
decision of Gov. Slaton, the Office OF
quartermaster general, created by the
legislature, is one which he cannot
abolish. Whether Gen. Nash Will drop
his efforts to have Gen. Obsar's Office
abolished, or whether the question NIL
be made a political issue before the
next legislative body is not known.
