American Occupation Has Done Away with All the Atrocities Practiced Under Spanish Rule. [SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE.] WASHINGTON, July 27.—Charles Buell, who was secretary of the United States special commission to Porto Rico, and is familiar with the various conditions of which he speaks, makes it plain that our occupation of the beautiful island has been of great benefit to the people of Porto Rico. Among other things, he explains the under Spanish rule imprisonment without a hearing, or the preferring charges against the persons arrested was common, and the imprisoned sons frequently passed several years without being informed of the nature of the offense for which they had been held. Under American rules more Spanish methods are permitted in dealing with those charged with lawful acts. Before the American occupation, Porto Rico it was a common custom rent a burial place in a cemetery, to demand a renewal of the rent year to year, after the first five years a failure to promptly pay the rente resulted in the disinterment of the body and the throwing of the skull bones promiscuously into a combo heap to be thereafter forever posed to the gaze of the curious, and the action of the elements. This tom was discontinued upon an order issued by the Military Governor making it unlawful to disinter bodies with a special permit from the Government, and then only for the purpose of reinterment. Under the Spanish rule marshal had been hedged about with arbitrary rules which had made it impossible for the poor, especially in the Weekly Gazette Published 1870. RIPPLETON - 91 50 Per Year.

This tom was discontinued upon an order sued by the Military Governor which it unlawful to disinter bodies with a special permit from the Government General,and then only for the purpose of reinterment. Under the Spanish rule marriages had been hedged about with arribes rules which had made it important for the poor,specially in the districts,tothe enter into marriage,the result was that more than half of the families were living in a strenuous concubinage,and more than half of children born on the island during years were illegitimate and prived of natural right under their due to the fact of their illegal birth circumstance over which they have no control. By order of the Military Governor the contract of marriage could be entered into without cost,before a magistrate or prime minister,and every barrier to marriage was removed. Those children could marry,and the status of the offspring of such children born out of wedlock be established. Under Spanish rule the islands scourged with diseases due to sanitary conditions and to a care for the people by those in city.The Military Governor published a vaccine farm,and archivists vaccinated the population,the island.Every disease is bequered by government agencies every sanitary measure is being used out to prevent filth diseases. Under Spanish rule everything taxed,and to all the very taxes on property,real and private added duties on import duties and a consume tax of rate.In addition there were only by the churchwhich was based on the crown and the insular government and last,但 not least,the governmental lottery;the may instructed to sell a certain amount of the drawings,and they invited zens to purchase a drawing,whether understood to be a thin-veiled contribution the amount asked for government. With the occupation by these canns the lottery disappeared,burden of taxation dwindled to a percentage of the tariff upon payment,and what was more important amounts thus collected are handed to the island government for the expenses of running that ment,so that the I5 per cent tariff does not burden the people. When Porto Rico was stored,the quick response of our people crying distress,and the liberals tens of thousands of tons of gas gave evidence of the true feeling this country entertained to new possession.A loyal laud Juan remarked that "the States is great because it is prosperous because it is high."

PORTO RICO BENEFITED. On Occupation Has Done Away All the Atrocities Practiced Under Spanish Rule. L. CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE. HINGTON, July 27.—Charles E. who was secretary of the United Special Commission to Porto and is familiar with the various forms of which he speaks, makes in that our occupation of that island has been of greatest interest to the people of Porto Rico. Other things, he explains that Spanish rule imprisonment with hearing, or the preferring of its against the persons arrested, common, and the imprisoned frequently passed several years not being informed of the nature of offense for which they had been held. Under American rule no Spanish methods are permitted using with those charged with unacts. Here the American occupation of Rico it was a common custom to burial place in a cemetery, and hand a renewal of the rent from two year, after the first five years; here to promptly pay the renewal need in the disinterment of the land and the throwing of the skull and promiscuously into a common heap to be thereafter forever exposed to the gaze of the curious, and to mention of the elements. This cus was discontinued upon an order issued by the Military Governor making lawful to disinter bodies without special permit from the Governor rural, and then only for the purpose interment. Under the Spanish rule marriage been hedged about with arbitrary which had made it impossible the poor, especially in the rural stability by changing the currency of the island to United States currency. Under the rule of Spain the mass of the people dared not make an outcry against any oppression; the bakers of San Juan testified that their hours of labor were from 4 o'clock p.m. till 12 o'clock noon of the following day, and that they worked every day in the year; other artisans gave similar testimony. With American occupation shorter hours were demanded without fear, and fair dealing began to take the place of the ancient wrong. Aside from the 50,773 property owners of Porto Rico, made up largely of absentees, priests and pro-Spanish residents, the people of the island are loyal to our methods, and appreciate our efforts in their behalf, so far as they can realize the enactments. IRRIGATION FOR ALFALFA. How Much Water Gives Best Results? New Turkestan Alfalfa. "Alfalfa as a Hay Crop" is the title of a bulletin prepared by Prof. B. C. Buffum, the Agriculturist of the Wyoming Experiment Station, and his treatment of the subject is one of more than passing interest to farmers of the great arid region, where no other plant is held in such high esteem by those who have had the largest experience in irrigation farming. "Although alfalfa is extremely hardy," says Prof Buffum, "and will live through long periods of drought, it will not produce hay unless irrigated. It is of vital importance to apply water at the right time and conduct the irrigation in the right way. Flooding as the native meadows are flooded for long periods of time is much more quickly fatal to alfalfa than it is to our best native grasses. "It will not do to turn the water on and look at it once a week to see that it is still running." Alfalfa soon dies if... In the disinterment of the land and the throwing of the skull and the promiscuously into a common heap to be thereafter forever exposed to the gaze of the curious, and to mention of the elements. This custom was discontinued upon an order issued by the Military Governor making lawful to disinter bodies without special permit from the Governor general, and then only for the purpose of interment. Under the Spanish rule marriage been hedged about with arbitrary which had made it impossible for the poor, especially in the rural districts, to enter into marriage; and result was that more than half of families were living in a state of subinage, and more than half of the children born on the island during late years were illegitimate and deceived of natural right under the laws, due to the fact of their illegal birth, a circumstance over which they could not control. By order of the MiliGovernor the contract of marriage could be entered into without before a magistrate, or priest, or minister, and every barrier to marriage was removed. Those having children could marry, and the legal norms of the offspring of such as had been out of wedlock be thereby published. Under Spanish rule the island was charged with diseases due to the unfitty conditions and to a lack of care for the people by those in authority. The Military Governor established a vaccine farm, and army physicians vaccinated the population of the island. Every disease is being conferred by government agencies, and every sanitary measure is being carried out to prevent filth diseases. Under Spanish rule everything was used, and to all the very exacting measures on property, real and personal, there added duties on imports, port duties and a consume tax of no small rate. In addition there were exactions against the church, which was backed by the crown and the insular government; and last, but not least, there was a governmental lottery; the mayors were instructed to sell a certain amount of drawings, and they invited the citizens to purchase a drawing, which was understood to be a thin-veiled order to contribute the amount asked for to the government. With the occupation by the Americans the lottery disappeared, and the burden of taxation dwindled down to 15 per cent of the tariff upon imports; and what was more important, the amounts thus collected are handed over to the island government for paying some expenses of running that government, so that the 15 per cent of the tariff does not burden the people at all. When Porto Rico was storm-swept the quick response of our people to the hurry of distress, and the liberal sending of tens of thousands of tons of supplies for the stranded victims of the storm, grave evidence of the true feeling which this country entertained toward the new possession. A loyal lady of San Juan remarked that "the United States is great because it is liberal; it prosperous because it is humane." Although alfalfa is extremely hardy," says Prof Buffum, "and will live through long periods of drought. It will not produce hay unless irrigated. It is of vital importance to apply water at the right time and conduct the irrigation in the right way. Flooding as the native meadows are flooded for long periods of time is much more quickly fatal to alfalfa than it is to our best native grasses. "It will not do to turn water on and look at it once a week to see that it is still running. Alfalfa soon dies if its feet are kept wet, and it needs long breathing spells and warm growing weather. Where the irrigating water is cold it produces a chilling effect, and the irrigation should be done quickly and the water turned off as soon as the ground has become thoroughly wet. The best time to irrigate alfalfa is immediately after the hay has been removed. Some irrigate just before the hay is cut, but our observations indicate that much better results are obtained by irrigating after cutting. If the weather is dry, light irrigations may be needed between the cuttings. We believe in irrigating in the fall, some time after the last cutting has been made, to keep the soil from becoming too dry during the winter. It should not be done so late, however, that the ground is apt to freeze hard while very wet, as this seems to be the principal cause of winter killing. "Too much water is fatal either in summer or winter. On the Wyoming Experiment Farm one season we irrigated one-half of a field of alfalfa as late as October, leaving the other half without water. The part irrigated started earlier next spring and up to the time of the first cutting the dividing line between that which had not been irrigated and that which was watered late in the fall was distinctly visible, as the hay grew two or three inches higher on the fall irrigated portion. "By duty of water we mean the amount which is used on the land. Alfalfa is a perennial plant which occupies the land all the time. Its growing season is long and that it requires a proportionally large amount of water would be expected." Prof. Buffum presents a table showing the amounts of water used on fourteen different crops of alfalfa. "The table shows," he continues, "that we have not used very large amounts of water in the production of alfalfa. Our measurements of water used on native hay show that only about one-half the water was used on alfalfa as on the native hay." An average of these fourteen measurements made at Laramie as set forth in the above mentioned table shows the depth of water applied to alfalfa to have been 2.22 feet. An average of six measurements made by the Station on oats, wheat and barley, shows 2.74 acre feet applied to each acre of those crops. The only class of plants upon which less water has been used by the Station than alfalfa has been root crops. FAMOUS TURKESTAN ALFALFA. The first seed of this alfalfa was imported and sent out by the Department was really no occasion for it, as he would probably soon be well again. The pain soon became intense, and hypodermic injections of morphine were administered. Schurz lost consciousness at 4:30 o'clock. He never rallied, and death supervened at 3:07 following morning. The tips of the fingers and parts of the body turned black. His family were immediately notified of his death. The body was shipped to Los Angeles on Friday morning for interment. The deceased was well thought of by his associates, and is spoken of in terms of esteem by those with whom he came in contact. Besides the erection of the Masonic building at Fullerton, he had just been awarded the contract for building a $42,000 church at Pasadena. The body was interred at Los Angeles on Friday.

Each applicant will be allowed to select three bulletins. Pugnacious Bird. A mocking bird whose liquid melody has doubtless awakened the echoes about many a tree-top in town, has lately become quite a pugnacious turn of mind, as was witnessed by a number of people some days ago. Its mate has a nest in the lofty branches of a wide-spreading pepper tree, and the house cat has been about driven to despair by the assaults of the bird upon her. The bird will descend to the lower branches, his wings awry, and giving amounts thus collected are handed over to the island government for paying the expenses of running that government, so that the 15 per cent of the tariff does not burden the people at all. When Porto Rico was storm-swept the quick response of our people to the cry of distress, and the liberal sending of tens of thousands of tons of supplies for the stranded victims of the storm, gave evidence of the true feeling which this country entertained toward the new possession. A loyal lady of San Juan remarked that "the United States is great because it is liberal; it is prosperous because it is humane." Under Spanish rule the weak were robbed; the foreclosure of a mortgage was permitted in a most unwarranted manner, and always to the loss of the debtor. A military order checked this. Under Spanish rule a large percentage of the property owners were absentees, conducting their estates through agencies, and exacting a most ruinous course against other interests. The property of the absentee class has been put under taxable conditions that will make them bear their portion of the burden of the government which gives security to their property. Under Spanish rule the money of the island was subject to the most extraordinary fluctuations; when the planter needed money to pay his help and for supplies, the peso would be held at 60 cents in gold, and as soon as the money had passed into the hands of the men whom the planter had owed, the value of the peso declined to 42 cents. This ruinous variation in money has been made to give place to certainty and Vose Planos Have been tried and tested for a half century, and are used today in 42,000 homes, 500 of which are in Southern California.

A mocking bird, whose liquid melody has doubtless awakened the echoes about many a tree-top in town, has lately become of quite a pugnacious turn of mind, as was witnessed by a number of people days ago. Its mate has a nest in the lofty branches of a wide-spreading pepper tree, and the house cat has been about driven to despair by the assaults of the bird upon her. The bird will descend to the lower branches, his wings awry, and giving vent to such discordant shrrieks one would hardly believe they emanated from the sweet songster. From its low perch it descends swiftly upon the cat, picking its back and getting away in one time and two motions. Dogs passing by have been seen to accelerate their speed, as with a howl of pain they seek to get away from the bird which descends upon them and swifty administers punishment. Students of ornithology declare the case to be one of extreme rarity. Rollo. Miss Laurie Roller left on Sunday for Santa Monica for a sojourn at the seaside.
