—Mr. Bayfield suggests the @ pe trees in 1098 20 feet apari and 15 feet apart in the row— thas giving 165 trees to the acre and with proper cultivation increasing the yield more than fourfold for at least fifteen or possibly twenty years; if st the ead of that time it shoald be found that the branches and roo's of the trees interfere, Cat away every olher tree in the row his suggestion of a practical and succssss ful horticulturists ought to be carefully cosasidered by those who are about to plant apple orchards.

—The Boston Globe thus sums up the concessions that Spain has made to the United States in respect to Cuba:— “Spain was asked te grant autonomy, and
she crauted it. We complained of the rigor of ber opevationsin Cuba, and she recall ed Weyler. She was asked to liber. ate American citizens, and she opened her prison doors fcr every one of them, She was asked to recall De Lome, and he
went. We expressed our pity for the reconcentrados, avi she permitted us to feed them. We complained of the policy at concentration, and it was yreveked. We thought the
people needed to be helped toa fresh etart oo their farms, and she appropriated $600- @009 for their relief . She was asked why her flotilla was sailing for American waters and she detained it off the African coast. She was asked to do whatever her sense of justice suggested in relation to the des- iruction of the Maine, and she offered to abide by arbitration. Sbe was asked to grant an armistice, and she has granted it. Afier this summary of undisputed facts, it would only remain for the ally or allies of the Spanish Government to inquire of the president why, when not one of his re- quests has been neglected or rejected by Spain, he should menace her with an ex- penditure of $50,000,000 tor war purposes, the withdrawal of our consuls from Cuba and a message to Congress calliog for the authority to invade the is.and? Before the tribunal of international o)iui00 where would such @ Cross-¢Xamiuetivn leave our government ?”
ESTEEMED EXCHANGES.
Boston Transcript: Lord Wolesely calls War correspondents “ibose newly invented curses to armies,” But wuen they foment aud declare war in advance of the autbori-~ ites they are curses to soc'ety,
New York Times: Anybody who now talks about further negotiations or ex-~ hausting the resources of peaceful Jiplom- acy is not deserving of a momenrt’s at~« tention. Ifthe oppomepis of war want peace and Weylerism licensed and trium- phant, let them say so, and take tneir ground like men. The Awerican people, with the President at their head, take the other ground.
New York Herald: Those who believe in peace and accept war only as the man- date of duty, and not the ignoble outburst of passion, will rejoice in this debate. Let it have the widest range. It will reach the soul of the American people. It empha» sizes the fact that as patricts we are one with the President. ihe Cuban question passes from the realm of invective to thai of reason, patience, and common sense.
Montreal Gazette : “The pemand for the destruction of thesSenate: is dying out, even in the wrathbiest ot Liceral organs. The idea that the constitution should be changed in order that Messrs Tarte, Sifton and Blair should have a freer hand to give away public Jands and public money for benetit of political or business firends was jast a little too much.’
The St. John Telegraph points out, as a rewarkable faci, that the Senate ot the Unned States, which was intended by the

Complete Arrangements to Act in Case Spain’s Fleet Should Strike Them.
Bostox, April 20.— Plans are nearly completed and preparations are being hur- ried along for the defence of the New Eng laud coast againstadash by a Spanish fist. tt is believed by ihe Naval Depar:- ment that this point would be very likely to berelected by Spain for an a tick cf this kind, because of its deep water near the shore aud its unprotected cities on the water front. Spain nasfive armored crui- sera that she could end here, and, of course, in & fight the mosquito fleet would be no mateh for them, bat its object is for the most part to bring word at once of the approach of a Spanish fleet, thus to enable the coast defences to be made ready, and notify Washington in order that warships may be sent.
The fleet wtll consist of three parts. The firec line ix composed of ocean steamers whose position is to from 50 to 150 miles outside of tha of the

{ rec
outermost points of communication by
' land. A short distance off shore will be placed a second line of seagoing tugs and
yachts, while the inner ine will be com posed of smal) craft placed at ibe different cities for the pur pose of harbor defence. {These vesseis w iN] be kept constantly on ibe patr 1, and as fleet is sighted by one of would at com- municate with the headquarters, This ill be done in two ways first by the unadieg g pigeon service, woich has already beea brought to a state of considerable efficiency. in addition to loosing the pigeons, the craft sighting the approaching fl-et will at ouce start inshore at full speed, and will, o* sighting one of the vessels of the second line, communicate with her by siguals, and she will in tarn communicate with one of the shore stations, from which word will be semt to headquarters. The sigit~- ing vessel will also attempt while on ber way in to pick up one of the vessels of her own line, which will be instructed to keep awatch on the enemy and report hia further movements.
The whole eastern seaboard will be pst- rolled in this way, the coast being divided into sectious which will correspond sut~ stantially with theligbthouse districts, each having headquarters at the principal cities in that district. The headquarters for this section will be in Boston, and probably on the naval brigade ship Minnesota, as that will be the headquarters of the ocal signal service, which must, of course, work in connection with the marine patrol. The craft of the inner line, and probably a good many of the second line, will be manned by the naval reserye, but each line will be under the direction of an officer of the navy.
To faciliate a rush movement 40 paa- senger cars and 100 frieght cars are held in readiness iv the yard of the Union Sta- tions to be despatched to places in New Hampshire and Vermont, whence troops will be carried as assigned by the war De- partment, and orders to that end are expected hourly from the Government.
Sixteen more men of the naval reserve were sentto Philadelphia today to join those alreedy there, and familiarize them- selves with the monitore Catekili and Le- high, leaving 160 yettogo. The navy yard force has been incre ased vy 100 men, and now numbers 900, receiviug large ad- ditions every day,

New York Tribuse: This part of the world cannot remain longer halt civilized and balf werse than savages. Three centa- ries or more ago the Spaniards did exter- mipate the entire population of Cuba—the sboriginal race.
