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.

report that the Governor-General of
Porto Rico has issued a proclamation
saying that eight soldiers were killed
and thirty-four were wounded as a re
sult of the bombardment of the forta
at San Juan by a portion of Rear Ad
miral Sampson's fleet on May 12th.
He adds that two guns were dismount
ed at Morro Castle, which otherwise
was very little damaged. He also says
the other forts were not much hurt.
In the town one shot, it is alleged,
penetrated the palace and the corner
of a powder-house was carried away.
No school children was killed. The
transport Alfonso XIII and the Span
ish steamer Manuela were damaged
by the American fire. The Spaniards,
as usual, claim that they won a vic
tory, basing this assertion upon the
fact that the American warships de
parted under fire.
The refugees say the city of San
Juan is still terrorized, its inhabi
tants being in hourly fear of the re
appearance of the American fleet and
a repetition of the bombardment.
Therefore people are camping in the
country out of range of the American
guns.
The Spaniards claim that Freeman
lalstead, the newspaper correspon
dent who was sentenced to nine years'
mprisonment for photographing the
fortifications of San Juan, was wound
ed bv a shot which struck the town
jail, but the refugees say he was prob
ably shot by the Spaniards.

Only slight damage was done. No de-

HARVARD SAFE.
NEW YORK, May 19. A dispatch
from St. Pierre, Martinique, says:
The cruiser Harvard has suddenly
sailed from this port. She has not
been followed by the Spanish torpedo
boat destroyer Terror, as the latter is
still coaling at Port de France.
DEADLY CABLE CUTTING.
WASHINGTON, May 19. The fol

and damage while cutting Spanish
cable 150 yards from the shore near
Cienfuegos, Cuba:
"Lieutenant Winslow was wounded
in the hand; Patrick Regan, private
marine, was killed; Ernest Suntzen

other men were wounded.
SPANIARDS WILL BE MET.
NEW YORK, May 19. A dispatch
to the Times from Washington says:
Admiral Sampson is now, it is said,
in a position to be regularly and fre
quently informed of the approach of
the enemy, and the Spanish Admiral
is already, or will be, cut off and un
able to turn in any direction with
safety.
JAPAN'S ATTITUDE.
Remington
Standard Typewriter!
WHAT IS IT!
A simple, compact, and durable machine, which successfully
performs the work of the pen, with a tremendous saving of
time and exertion.
WHAT WILL IT DO.'
It produces, with speed and certainty, in clearly legible
printed characters, one or many copies of any kind of writing,
excepting such as must be done in books.
TO WHOM IS IT USEFUL?
To every one avIio has writing to do. In business circles its
desirability is assured. Lawyers and journalists cannot do
without it. Professional and -scientific men realize its worth
to them. The author and thinker find it invaluable. It con
serves the most potent kind of energy that of the brain by
reducing to a minimum the mechanical labor of writing, and
distributing it among all the lingers of both hands. Writer's
cramp disappears where it is used. It presents the printed
appearance of the work to the mind at once.
WHO CAN OPERATE IT!
Anv one of ordinarv intelligence. A verv few trials enable
any one to write upon it readily. Thereafter it is only a mat
ter of practice.

FROM DEWEY.
LONDON, May 19. The correspon
dent at Manila of the Daily Telegraph,
under date of May 13th, says:
Despite the worries of the blockade,
the spirits of the Spanish officials aro
well maintained. The vessels of Ad
miral Dewey's squadron keep their
positions and content themselves with
preventing all supplies from reaching
the beleaguered city. In addition to
the Callao the Americans have taken
some steamers which were making for
he Dort. and several coasting vessels.
Nothing has yet .succeeded in running
the blockade.
Admiral Dewey is credited with a
desire to capture Spanish steamers,
as his launches have been scouting
around the coast.
The rebel forces have not yet sum
moned up courage enough to attack
the citv. They are in condition to do
so, but they have confined their efforts
to ravaging the country outside, lho
fnrpisrn residents believe that if the
city "fell into the hands of the rebels
it would be deplorable.
OREGON SAFE.
WASHINGTON, May IS. "The Ore
gon is safe." In these words secretary
of the Navy Long made public the best
news of the Navy since Dewey's victory.
It is understood that the report from
the Oregon came from Barbadoes and
was received yesterday.
SPAIN'S PHILIPPINE FLEET.
GIBRALTAR, May 18. The first-
class battle-ship Pelayo, the armored
cruisers Emperador Carlos V., Alfonso
XIII, Victoria and Giralda, the auxi
liary cruisers Rapido, Alfonso XII,
Buenos Ayres and Antonio Lopez and
three torpedo-boats now at Cadiz ara
ready for sea. They are expected to
sail for the Philippines before the end
of this month with 11,000 troops.
LONDON, May 19. The Paris cor
respondent of the Daily Mail says:
The Spanish ships are fitted up with
Krupp guns, but they still lack many
essentials, and cannot, in any circum
stances, put to sea within a week.
WASHINGTON, May 19. There is
a clear and definite understanding be
tween the United States and Japan,
both as to the Philippines and Ha
waii, and it is not likelv to be disturb
ed by any complications with powers
in the European concert.

NEW YORK, May 19 A dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says:
No one here knows exactly where the
Spanish fleet is. In official quarters the
rumor is current that it will reach
Porto Rico. The popular comment is
that it has gone to attack one of the
United States ports.
A special to the World from Mon

It is learned that Senor Polo, Spain's
Minister to the United States, has
arranged by cable for coal for the
Spanish fleet at St. Pierre Island, south

ANNEXATION SEEMS CERTAIN.
WASHINGTON, May 17 Hawaiian
annexation took a stride, and a long
one, today when the House Committee
on Foreign Affairs reported favorably
Newlands' resolution declaring the
Sandwich Islands a part of the sover
eign territory of the United States
The next step is the passage of the
resolution by the House. In the opin
ion of the leaders, this will be done
before another week passes, and then
will come the supreme struggle of the
entire campaign, the endeavor to put
the resolution through the Senate.
The Cabinet today discussed Hawaii
of ipn-th and arrived at the conclusion
that the House would pass the resolu
tion speedily but that the benate
