G. Spencer, Pacific Hardware Co., Honolulu. 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. L1DGATE.

On April 23d the Governor General of the Philippines issued a proclama tion, prophesying disaster to the Am ericans and victory to Spain in the struggle. The extraordinary document, abounding in fustian, characterizes the sending of the American fleets against the Spanish forces as "vain designs, ridiculous boastings." The proclama tion in full is as follows: "Spaniards. "Between Spain and the United States of North America hostilities have broken out. f "The moment has arrived to prove to the world that we possess the spirit to conquer those who, pretending to be loyal friends, take advantage of our misfortunes and abuse our hospitality, using means which civilized nations count unworthy and disreputable. "The North American people, con stituted of all the socialexcresences, have exhausted our patience and pro voked war with their perfidious ma chinations, with their acts of treach ery, with their outrages against the laws of nations and international con ventions. "The struggle will be short and de cisive. The God of Victories will give us one as brilliant and complete as the righteousness and justice of our cause demand. Spain, which counts upon the sympathies of all the nations, will emerge triumphantly from this new test, humiliating and blasting the ad venturers from those States that, with out cohesion and without a history, offer to humanity only infamous tradi tions and the ungrateful spectacle of Chambers in which appear united in solence aud defamation, cowardice and cynicism. "A squadron manned by foreigners, possessing neither instruction nor discipline, is preparing to come to this archipelago with the ruffianly inten tion of robbing us of all that means life, honor, and liberty. Pretending to be inspired by a courage of which they are incapable, the North Ameri can seamen undertake as an enter prise capable of realization the sub stitution of Protestantism for the Catholic religion you profess, to treat you as tribes refractory to civilization, to take possession oi your ncues if they were unacquainted with the rights of property, and to 'kidnap those persons whom they consider useful to man their ships or to be exploited in agricultural or industrial labor. "Vain designs! Ridiculous boast ngs! "Your indomitable bravery will suffice to frustrate the attempt to carry them into realization. You will not allow the faith you profess to be made a mock of impious hands to be placed on the temple of the true Cod, tne images you adore to be thrown down by unbelief. The aggressors shall not profane the tombs of your fathers, they shall not gratify their lustmi nassions at the cost of your wives and daughters' honor, or appropriate the nronertv that your industry has ac - - ... - simulated as a provision tor your oia age. No, they shall not perpetrate any of the crimes Inspired by their wickedness and covetousness, because your valor and patriotism will suffice tr nnnish and abase tne people tnat, be civilized and cultivated, have exterminated the natives of North America instead of bringing to tnem t-ho. nfp rf civilization and of progress "Philininos. prepare for the struggle and, united under the glorious Span ish flag, which is ever covered with laurels, let us fight with the convic tion that victory will crown our efforts and to the calls of our enemies let us oppose with the decision of the Christ ian and the patriot the cry of "Viva Espana." "Manila, 23d April, 1S9S. "Your General. "BASILIC- AUGUSTIN D AVI LA." Another proclamation of the same fintP declares that any one ottering as Hktnnpf? directly or indirectly to the pnpmv shall be. summarily tried by Court Martial as a traitor and be pun ished with death, and that those, who propose the submission of any place besieged by the enemy or spread re ports calculated to discourage the de fenders shall also be dealt with as traitors and punished with death or penal servitude for life. A third proclamation declares mar tial law and" requires all able bodied Spaniards to enroll themselves for military service. Salvation Army Col.
