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.

May be seen in motion on application to A WAITING GAM (Continued i'rom Page 1.) 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. NEW YORK. May IS A cable to the Sun from Havana says: Threo American warships today bombarded Morro Castle, at -Santiago de Cuba. Only slight damage was done.

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.

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.
