At ih state department the same impenetrable mystery and silence which has so suddenly enveloped that region I continued even to a greater extent if possible than ever. When Secretary rresham lelt his ollice the key to the secretary's apartments was turned in the lock and the colored messenger stood guard outside the doors and refused to allow any one even to approach. All the ollicials were as deaf and dumb. I To all inquiries came the reply: '"Wo I have not heard anything. We have nothing to say.''

The department had no explanation for the report that the steamer lired upon by the Spanish war vessel hoisted the British Hug, nor would the oilicials acknowledge that they had received official confirmation of the report by the commander of the Spanish gunboat.

The cabinet meeting lasted until 1 o'clock, and after it adjourned Secretary Gresham remained with the president, aud the cabinet members, who returned to their departments, only echoed the old remark, "We have nothing to say."

It is evident that the state departmenthas closed the mouth of tin Spanish minister in some diplomatic way, for he, too, is silent and refuses to see anyone.

All the department will say is that Spain shall nave time to investigate the firing on the Allianca and that the president and Mr. Gresham have decided that, they will not demand a full reply until Spain has a chance to fully hear all the details from Cuba. Meanwhile the state department is turning its attention to the British-Venezuela troublo and is quietly arranging to he ready for a naval display off the Soutji American coast at the same time that England and France will show up with their fleets. There seems to be more concern over this incident than aa stated over Spain's attitude.

Why Spuin HUM Sent No Aunwor.

MADUID, March 20.—El Correio denies emphatically tho truthfulness of tho report that the Spanish government has sent to the United States its disapproval of the gunboat it is claimed fired on the American steamer Allianca. off Cape Mavsi, the eastern extremity of Cuba. Senor Groizard, tho foreign minister, is awaiting an official report from Havana before definitely replying to the note presented to the government by Minister Taylor.

Admiral Meade Sails For Cubit.

WASHINGTON, March 140.—Admiral Meade yesterday cabled the navy department that lie hud sailed with his gquadron from La Guayra, Venezuela, for San Domingo. This move is in accordance with his prearranged itinerary, and if the plan is not interrupted by unexpected events the next points visited will be Port-Aii-Prince, Hayti, and then Santiago de Cuba.

For two days uncertain and untraceable reports have reached here regarding an American schooner being lired unonby a Spanish gunboat on the southern coast of Florida. Yesterday's steamer brought news from Key West which is said to be authentic, claiming has not been at the department, of that the schooner Irene of Key West had M!1 tired upon and dismasted by the Infanta Isabella near Charlotte harbor, after which the schooner drifted ashore whrre sue now lies aground, south of the above harbor.

It is generally understood that the authorities at Washington have been uotiiied of it.

The Irene is a coasting schooner of fit) tons, commanded by Captain Carballo, and generally carried a crew of eight.

HER CREW MURDERED.

Key West

This Is a Koport. Sent Out J»y Corresi)Oiident. ST. LOUIS, March 20.—A special from Key West confirms the story of the sinlcing of an American schooner by the Spanish gunboat Arcedo, otf Puerto del Padre. The Arcedo's captain, after sinking the schooner and shooting many of her crew, who tried to escape by swiinming, reported the afiun to the captain general of Cuba.

A council was immediately called, and it was decided to suppress the information. A friend of the Cuban patriots, who was present at the council, communicated with compatriots, and an exhaustive search by them, iu sympathizing ports, proved that the schooner was a peaceful American fruiter and that only four of her crew escaped.

"NOTHING TO SAY."

State Oilicialrt Silent on the iistrrnaUnu.'il roulies. Y\*ASiilNOT'\, March 20.—When Secretary (rresliam -went to the cabinet. I meeting yesterday he carried with him a large bundle of papers, and they did not relate to the Allianca incidenr by any means. The situation in regard to England's attitude toward Venezuela, and Nicaragua has given the state depart incut- almost as much concern its Spain's reply to Secretary (.'rresham's demand.

MINISTER THURSTON. Has

A Rumor That .Secretary Clroham JlZuriv Such a Demand of Hawaii. WASHINGTON, March 20.—It- was reported here yesterday afternoon that Secretary Gresham had demanded the recall oi Lorin A. Thurston, the HaI wauan minister, to Washington, on the •jrfiriyl that- lie was persona non grata.

VV/.^n Secretary («resluiu's attention was called to this statement he posi-

lively refused to say one word in conUrination or denial, and other officials of the state department allege iguorauco of the mat ter.

It is known, however, that tli"re has be-u much friction between the minis-t-er and the state: department in the transaction dating back to Air. Tliurston's appointment as minis'er. Probably because .!)•• was aware of the state of feeling toward himself, the minister has always been singularly guarded and discreet in his public utterances, as lar a can now b" rec.uk-d, so as nut to subjeer himself t. censtue.

Every eirort has been lftado officially to disguise the real state of affairs. The Hawaiian ininisier's name has b--en scrupulously in.led in all state fuue1 ions in winch l-he hpla:na: corps r. piays part, and on at least one occasion he has bt-u k-U'tered the honor of a speeial dinner by Secretary Gresham, but it is known that there have been stormy interviews 'act-ween ilieiu.

Jjlinister Thurston was seen and positively declined to diseussthe report. He was at the legation office and was busily engaged in preparing a budget of .Official mail to Hawaii. He said the re.port was of such a character that he would maintain absolute silence. He did not want this taken as an intimation of affirmation or denial, lie was asked specifically if he had been recalled and declined to answer. He was also specifically asked as to the closing of the state department against him and made the same response.

It is recalled now that Mr. Thurston state in person recently, although Air. Hastins. the secretary of his legation, and the charge, d'affaires during the absence of the minister, has been a frequent visitor, though not on diplomatic errands so far as can be ascertained. "While it is doubtful if Secretary Gresham has gone so far as to demand the recall of the minister, it is believed to be probable that lie has at least allowed some hint to reach the Hawaii government through our minister, Mr. Willis, to the effect that the relatious between the state department and Minister Thurston were not entirely cordial, though there are good grounds for the belief that Mie Hawaii government has not acted as yet upon the hint.

At any rare the Hawaiian newspapers up to March 5, which reached Washington yesterday, l.uade no mention of the reported rupture in an any shape, and while it is true that the Hawaiian government may have observed secrecy as to the receipt, of such a desirable piece of news, still it would have beyond doubt felt bound to make public an event: of such importance as the recall oi its principal minister.

AVLNGED THE CRIME.*

A Hand of Kobhers Kill Theh- I_.e.'ider For 1 liis Wile. SANTA FI:, March 20.—The body of Vincent Silvji, chief of the San Miguel band of robbers and assassins, and that of his wife. Telafora Sar.doval, have been brought into Las Vegas. There were rewards for Silva's capture, dead or alive, aggregating &r,000.

When the officers got on his trail, Silva, whtl was suspicious of his wife, fearing that she had betrayed him, stabbed her through the heart with a bowie knife, and buried the body in the minds. Bo .sting of this crime to some of his followers, they in turn murdered him and buried him in the same grave with his victim.

Three Prisoners K.vcapu.

ST. Jos::i'H, Mo., March 20.—Three prisoners. William Berkeley, Ed Karsh and Arthur Schneider, made a bold break for liberty yesterday and succeeded in main good their escape. Tho rrio had be indicted for burglary and were undc uard in a room adjoining the courtroom, awaiting trial. At a moment when their guards had their backs turuec. they opened a window and slid down a drainpipe to the ground. A dozen officers were within a few feet of where their escape was made, but the prisoners were out of reach before their absence was discovered.

WASTE IN FARMING.

Wealth From the Soil Which Has Bcenf Thrown Away In the l'ast. When nature i.s pro-ligal, man is wasteful. Wasto has been the rule iir American agriculture. Accumulated::: mold of ages of vegetation was offered at §1.2-"5 per acre. Afterward it was given away, subject to official fees for perfecting a title, both to natives and immigrants. With land freo to all, there was prodigality of fertility and economy of labor. Thus in primitive agri--' tulture, rotation, cultivation, diversification, were all sacrificed, and fertility was transmuted into net cash. Because wheat, could bo grown without cultivation on the broken sod, and because it was til ways a cash crop, little else v,\'is grown, and because there was so much-, of it and so few farm animals the stra.., which is worth as much in England as tho whole crop lu re, was br.rned to get rid of it, and because of this repeating of a crop without cultivation wee is much more than loss of fertility roduc the rate of yield until at last, becan-o of extension of wheat are ', beyond tho needs of counsimipiion, prico was reduced and profits destroyed. Thus nature, which cannot bo trifled with sat«sly, has been avenged, and tho wheat: grower is muddled in trying to lay the blame upon the currency, tho tariff or anything rather than his own uneconomical and wasteful practice.

The same abandon attended early *. fforts in animal industry. Unimproved breeds were kept four years or more on lush grass in summer, iu the lee of a haystack in winter, fattening at one season and existing at another, favoring the production of fat and lean in layers, to bo sold at low prices to unsatisfied consumers. Tho first butter dairies—for:-: instance,Pratt's in New York—required 40 pounds of milk to make one pound of butter. lie, by selection and care, reduced the requirement almost one-half, and now some Jerseys produce a pound of butter for 13 pounds of milk. The "hogging down" of corn in feeding cattle and hogs was another wasteful procedure in primitive farming.

It was the same with cotton. The seed was v.'as ted or only used for manure. Sometimes stock was killed by being gorged over a pilo of seed, but systematic feeding was unknown. Now §40,000,000, more or less, represents the oil of tho seed, which was wasted if applied to the soil, and almost as much more should bo got from feeding the cako, with incidental foods to constitute a suitable ration aud costing almost nothing. In this way all tho valuable elements of the seed tiro returned to the soil, with additional manorial value of other feeding material. Pork, if not beef, can bo produced in the mild climate of tho south with cottonseed cake, cowpeas and other fall and winter growing forage plants even cheaper than the central wot.

In wooded sections tho first and largest opportunity for waste was found in the wanton destruction of wood and timber, and it was improved until largo areas have become deserts. In every rural industry exploitation has been depletion and destruction.

Yv'lien flax became an auxiliary or successor to wheat a million of acres went into cultivation for seed, and the straw was thrown away, though coarse fiber worth §100 per ton had been made of the straw as it lies from the mower, while by a slight change of method of culture and treatment, as is done in Europe, far more valuable fiber can bo produced. Flaxgrowers will say it cannot bo done, because they do not know how aud will not learn, but it litis been done and is dono successfully and uniformly in other llax growing countries. —Prairie Farmer.

A Third Set For Some of Us. A dialogue about heaven took place a fow days ago between a member of the Baltimore county bar and a lady 82 years old, who was under examination in an equity case.

Tho lawyer, to test tho lady's faith in tho hereafter, asked her if sho thought wo would know each other in heaven. Sho replied by asking him another question as to where heaven was. His reply was not satisfactory to the old lady, and sho told the lawyer that if he wanted to question her about any place he must locate it. Then she added: "Of course we will know each other ia heaven, for our bodies will bo the same there, except that wo will not have any blood in us."

Tho lawyer next asked her if sho thought people would have teeth in heaven. Sho said she could not answer that definitely, but sho thought they would. One thing was certain, sho added—pooplo would have teeth in the place allotted to the wicked, and she could prove it by Scripture. "How can you prove it?" said the lawyer. "Why, "she replied, "the Scripture says the wicked shall bo turned into utter darkness, where thero shall bo weeping, wailing aud gnashing of teeth, and how could they gnash their tooth if they did not havo any?"

Tho attorney did not proceed any further on that liuo of examination.—Baltimore Sun. \s?V'
