Secretary Morton, before he leaves the agricultural department, intends to abolish p.s far as possible the free distribution of seed. lie eays this business has been so much abused that it has become an evil instead of a benefit and he intends to put a stop to it.

Ilis next annual report to congress will contain names of several congressmen who have actually sold their quota of seeds for a monetary consideration.

New York, March 23. A sensationat story is afloat to the effect that a filibustering1 expedition is being1 organized in this city.

According to tho story an attempt is being made to fi out a large American schooner for the invasion of Cuba. It is stated that thw name of the vessel and the addresses of men wlo have organized the filibustering expedition are in the hand of the Spanish consul About two weeks ago the Spanish consul was. informed that a suspiciously larg number of men had been employed to go to Cuba. It was necessary that these men should be citizens of America, otherwise their employer had no work for them. The men were to be given free passage to and from the island, food supplied them, and were to be paid a salary of S50 per month.

Of those who were hired, tha ones who appeared to be entirely trustworthy and likely to keep the secret were told the real nature of the expedition. The plan was changed and it was arranged to send the hired men to Cub. on a steamer of one of tho regular lines running to Colon, instead of the char but likely to sell on any rise, valuable indications are that me of domestic business gains money is in much better de- given out. lie has a wife and live children, and one of his daughters is married and has a 7-months-old baby. Although the case ha3 been handled during the past few years by two ph3'si-ciitns and brought to the notica of tho medical staff of the Presbyterian hospital, it has never been reported to the health board.

The following advices have been received from the City of Mexico through Spanish official sources. In the capitals of the various Mexican states Cuban committees are raising funds for the insurgents in Cuba. The Spaniards in some localities are offsetting this by preparing to organize for service in support of the crown in Cuba. They have appointed a committee to wait on the Spanish minister to ask him to obtain from President Diaz permission to ov-iranize such bodies on Mexican This action has come to the knowledge. of the Spaniards in Spain and at least one hundred declare they will form, themselves into a volunteer company and go to Cuba and enlist in tho Spanish cause.

Topkka, March 23. The state irrigation board to-day opened negotiations with the g-eneral government looking1 to a thorough survey and measurement of all streams in western Kansas. If the general g-o vera ment will do as the state board suggests, Kansas will receive more benefit from the federal g-overnment than the state board would possibly be able to accomplish with the appropriation at its Judfje Sutton Baya the state board asks tiie general g-overnment to make a geological survey and stake the measurements of all streams flowing1 out of the arid region west of the 93th meridian. This will include the Solomon, Saline, Smoky, Cimarron and Arkansas rivers. If this is done the state board will have positive information as to just where the wind mill system of irrigation will be a success.
