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.

FOOD IS SCKACK.
Suffering Is Intense Amouar Poor
People in Cuba.
NEW YORK, May 5. A special to
The Tribune from Key West says:
The mail bags on the Spanish steam
er Argonauta, which was brought in'
by the Marblehead yesterday, may
prove a most important capture. There
were twelve in all. They contained
mail both to and from Havana, some
confusion having resulted when the
authorities arranged to send every
thing by way of Cienfuegos to avoid
the blockade of the northern coast of
Cuba.
One letter from Havana under date
of April 26 spoke of suffering among
the poorer classes of the population
who were entirely without means of
support. The writer himself said he
did not known where he was to get
his dinner. Another letter spoke of
suffering but apparently the Govern
ment had a fair amount of supplies for
the soldiers. A large amount of rice
had been imported by speculators who
foresaw the blockade and placed it in
a warehouse. Blanco was expected to
seize this.
The Argonauta had a cargo of pro
visions intended chiefly for Havana.
The question is whether these food
supplies will be sent under cover of
warships to the reconcentrados.
CANNOT ASSIST HER.
Austria Does Not See Her Wny
Clear to Intervene.
LONDON, May 5. A dispatch to The
Daily Telegraph from Vienna says:
Although the position of the Queen
Regent of Spain grows daily more
difficult no step can be taken by the
Austrian Cabinet in the matter, not
withstanding the deep and wide sym
pathy felt in high quarters here. It
is stated at the Foreign Office that
separate and isolated action on the
part of Austria must be carefully
avoided. This is only in strict ac
cordance with the principles already
laid down. .
However, such an attempt at ren
dering assistance to the Queen Regent
mieht be easily misinterpreted, and
besides meeting with the strongest op
position from those who side with the
Americans could not fail to give rise
to misunderstandings in many quar
ters.
Accordingly there is a firm determi
nation here that if Austria takes any
part at all with regaf d to the con
flict it will only be to take part in
united action by European Cabinets
and then only if Spain herself seeks
the intervention of the Powers.
A flair ut Tamp.
TAMPA, May 5. It appears to be al
most a settled belief among army offi
cers here that no movement of United
States troops toward Cuba will take
place until after the meeting of the
Spanish flotilla with Rear Admiral
Sampson's squadron, which is now be
lieved to be inevitable. Nevertheless
everything possible is being done to
put the "United States troops in readi
ness for immediate shipment.
Preparations for the landing of a
large force of native Cubans at some
point in Cuba, within convenient reach
of General Gomez's army, are being
pushed as fast as possible.
The Cuban recruiting offices that
have been opend here are fairly over
whelmed with applications for enlist
ment, and it is very probable that close
to 1,500 men will be armed and ready
for service under the banners of Gomez
before the end of the week.
Tlie Culprit Caught.
SPRINGFIELD, 111., May 5. Detec
tive Bones of Springfield, who was as
signed to try and locate the person
who placed gun cotton in the exposi
tion building, where 2,000 Illinois
troops are quartered, asserts today that
William Aiken, arrested on the charge
of robbing Secretary Harkness of the
Anaconda Mining Company of New
York, is the culprit who hid the ex
plosive. Bones says Aiken is a sham
detective.
Lt-Iter Sells High.
CHICAGO, May 5. Great as was the
wheat famine aboard, that article was
found equally scarce in the Chicago pit
when the bears tried to cover. July
was hovering about the dollar mark
when Leiter announced that he sold
2,000,000 bushels No. 2 red wheat to a
French syndicate at $1.47. This com
pletely stampeded the pit traders. The
excitement during the closing was intense.

including the Pelayo and Alfonso XIIL,

The Daily Mail's Paris correspondent
says that want of ammunition for the

probably compel the latter to return to
Cadiz.
