Dear Sir: The Secretary Disc Plow I pur
chased from, you is giving us satisfaction. We
are using it to plow under a crop of lupins. They
are three feet high and very thick. Your plow
turns them completely under, at the same time
plowing the land fourteen inches deep.
I feel satisfied that with this plow the draft
for the same quantity and depth of work is as
6 to 8. That is, with the old plow, to do the same
work, it takes 8 good mules; with your plow it
takes only 6, and they are less tired at night.
Please send me another plow by first schooner
leaving for this.
You are at liberty to use this in any way you
may see fit. Yours truly,
A. LIDGATE.

TAMPA, April 22. I am informed by
an intelligent Englishman who left
Havana yesterday that Captain Gener
al Blanco and the Spanish authorities
have since the departure of Consel
General L.ee regarded war as inevitable
and have been bending extraordinary
energy to the concentration of troops
and supplies in Havana. Nearly a hun
dred thousand troops have teen assem
bled, of whom 40,000 are regulars and
the rest volunteers. This disposition
leaves Havana Province practically at
the mercy of insurgents, who scorning
the sham armistice, are reported un
usually active. Several small engage
ments have occurred within the last
week in which the Spanish say they
have been successful.
General Blanco has openly announc
ed his intention to defend Havana
against the American fleet or army, or
both. Another enrollment of volunteers
has been made which includes nearly
all able-bodied men in the city and
province and 30,000 have been distri
buted. The new recruits are being con
stantly thrilled at night, and as a conse
quence the city constantly resounds
with war-like sounds. Residents of
Havana exhibit enthusiasm and deter
mination. Many of the wealthy classes
are closing their houses and moving to
the interior, anticipating a siege or
bombardment.

Same Old Story.
NEW YORK, April 22 The follow
ing was received from a Washington
correspondent late tonight: Secretary
of State Sherman is expected to resign
from the Cabinet in the near future.
Mr. Sherman has had very little to do
with the importnat actions of the State
Department during the crisis with
Spain, and it is stated on high author
ity tonight that a change in the Sec
retaryship has been decided upon, and
that it will possibly occur within the
next week or ten days. It is under-
stood that Assistant Secretary of State j
Day is to be promoted to the head of
the Department. !
