It grows from the seed and from the running roots, which soon mat the soil and make It almost Impossible to de stroy the grass without using the most approved methods. “In many cases It Is not desirable that the grass be exterminated, as It Is worth more for hay, If .properly har vested and cured, than the cotton that would be raised on tho same land.

Santiago battle. What woa’your reason for so doing?" was asked. "I went to fllboney upon the urgent request of Major-General Shatter, who had demanded a council of war. He being ill at tho time, and moreover, being senior to me, it wns Incumbent .upon me to go to him. I chose the time of day when it noemed least likely that Cervera’e fleet would come out of the harbor. Thlsopluon Is substantiat ed by the fact that Cervera has be?n severely criticis'd for choosing this In opportune time, rather than wotting until Just before dark, when he would have had a time to scatter hls ships with a good chance of rorao escaping In the darkness." for the government. I must say if I , had dictated the message myself I should have expressed the facta differ ently. I am not attempting In the least to shift the responsibility for this mes sage to any other person.

Did It meet your approvel of what a blockade should be?" “Of course I was not an eye-wltnes3 to tho blockade as it was maintained during tho few days prior to my ar rival. The only official Information that I have on the subject Is contained In the official records, to which .ypu and every one else may have access for the asking. I did find It expedient shortly after my arrival to issue an order of blockade distributing the force In a semi-circle, with the entrance to the harbor np tho center with a radius of six miles Jn the day time and a lesser radius at night. After bombard ing the batteries and discovering their weaknesM this radius was decreased.

Although we did do considerable coal ing from the colliers on tho blockad ing line, we found it Impossible to keep a sufficient supply on board ell the ves sels by this method. * It must be re membered that the vessels were con stantly under way and had to keep steam enough In their boilers to be ready to move at good speed on imme diate notice. This involved the expend ing of coal faster than it could bo put on board by coaling ln the open and we were, therefore, obliged to eend a vessel each morning to Guantanamo to coal, the ve claimed that the Brooklyn inflicted per cent, of the damage done to the Spanl&h ships and received 54 per cent, of the Injuries sustained by the block ading squadron." “I do not wish to criticise Schley, or any of his statements.

I will repeat now what I said befoye.thnt the Brook lyn did excellent work ln the battle. To the best of my recollection.
