IALS AT SAN ANTONIO.
Leaders of Band Which Had Planned
Uprising in Texas City Placed
Behind the Bars Following
lnflammatory Addresses.

San Antonio, Texas.-With the ar
rest here ON Monday of twenty-six
Mexicans, twenty-three of whom were
detained, Chief. of Police Lancaster
and federal authorities announced that
a plan to incite the Mexican popula
tion of San Antonio to deeds of VIC
lence had been frustrated.
The prisoners, according to Chief
Lancaster, are followers of the so
called plan of San Diego, an extrava.
giant manifesto promulgated by party
of Mexican agitators, which proclaims
the republic of Texas" to be gov
erned by Mexicans. Recent uprisings

Three of the leaders were arrested
while addressing a crowd of 1000 Mex
leans on the Market plaza. The ad.
dresses were of an infiammatory ma
ture and calculated to arouse the
poorer classes of Mexicans to deeds
of violence.
"One speaker" Chief Lancaster
said, after abusing the president OF
the United States, the governor of this
state and the white race generally,
openly declared it is no harm to kill
a gringo and an Allemane,' (meaning
Americans and Germans.)"
1t was at this point that the police
charged the crowd and arrested the
leaders, but not without a fight AS
the officers were withdrawing one of
the Mexicans shouted:
Now is the time to rise. Let us
kill the gringoes!"
The arrival of the police for the
time being quieted all martial spirit.

Harney X. Burr.-I notice a great
deal of comment in the agricultural
press regarding the value of practical
training in farm work. II is a costly
proposition for farm owner to hire
the average agricultural graduate and
give him two or three years of prac-
tical experience before he can earn
his salt. Only those OF us who have
encountered this difficulty can fully
appreciate its Importance. sincerely
hope that in the near future our lar.
ger schools and colleges will give
their students an opportunity for more
of that practical training in the work
of the farm. There exists a wonderful
opportunity for the young man who
can qualify as an intelligent efficient
master workman in agriculture. Other
lines may be overcrowded but expert
farmers Will always be needed.
