merely colnehientat with cprIt titi corps
and are not. at nfl bitter.
Naturally , cach ship's company believes
that it tlid the work to a greater extent
than any other. An examination of the
h bulls of the Spanish vessels above the
F present submerged waterline shows the fol-

As the Indiana dlii not follow the chase
I had nothing to do with the hits on the
Vizcnya. Twelve or thirteen-Inch shells ,
, only two on ( ho Teresa , must be credited
to the battleships Oregon , Indiana , Texas
. and ben , although It is quite certain that
the Texas fIred one.
All the lflfliSl1 ) were riddled with the
apltl.flro of the one and six-pounders
carried by nil the American ships. It vill
be seen from this table that the greatest
proportion of large shells effectively landed
vent from Commodore Schley's flagship , the
j flrooklyn , aWl that it placed twenty 5-
Inch shells In the vitals of the' different
vessels of the enemy , pretty equally divided ,
except that the Vlzcaya caught one extra.
This demonstrated that the Brooklyn
t fought every ship of the pan1s1i squadron
- J and landed iearly twIce as ninny five-Inch
shells as all five vessels did eight-inch
aliolls , and as ninny as nit other kinds coin-
bined. The Iowa cornea next wIth eight
4-inch shells , five of which were planted
In the last vessel out of the harbor , the
Aimiranto Oquendo. The ten 8-Inch
t I lielIn must be divided among the four
vesols firing them , although two Placeti 410
I the Vizcnya undoubtedly belong to the

of four ships examined three had been
. blown up by their magazines , " ho con-
tlnued , "anti of these , ono had every
magazine exploded and torpedos In addition.
yet on none of them was there the same
effect as that produced by the explosion on
the Maine. There was no upheaval of the
keel and little bulging of the plates cxccpt
In the immediate vicinity of the explosIon.
The effect wns nearly altogether upward , In
' some cases time protective deck being lifted ;
but outside of th sprInging of a few plates ,
; the hulls were Intact. "
The examinatIon of the wrecks of tlia
t Spanish ships , three of which : were burned
and all their magazines exploded , was made ,
. ' first for the purpose of ascertainIng the effect
of American gunnery and secondly to find
the effect of the internal explosion. Both
subjects bore upon the Maine Incident , as
noted above , and the awful effect of well
aimed shots was demonstrated in the rapid
sinking of tIme fleet. When It Is remembered
that the Ahinirante Oquendo and the lafanta
Maria Teresa vero both sunk within forty
minutes of the time they heft the entrance
of Santiago harbor , the woc of American
gtinnera may well be looked on as remark-
'
able. The Oquendo was struck over fifty-
five times nnd the Infanta Maria Teresa
thirty-seremi times , but by larger projt1lct.

The record of damages to these ships Is
one of great interest. Thu fight started at
a range of 6,000 yards , or three miles. At
2,000 yards or 2,500 yards two torpoIo boats
amid two cruIsers wore annIhilated. The
closest lighting was done at 1,100 amid 1,000
yards by the Brooklyn end VIzcnyn , with
annihilating effect on the SpanIsh ship. But
two projectiles larger titan eight-inch : struck
a vessel , both of these , either twelve or
thirteer.-immcli , being Put through the Infanta
MarIa Teresa. The eiglit-immchi , six-immcb ,
five-inch , four-inch and six-pounder pro-
jectiies did the built of time work and were

with six Inches of steel for protection , not
only on the water line , but around the six-
Inch guns. ThIs ship was liii with large
projectiles lint. six times , as It kept out of
range nearly time whole time , passing be-
lminl ( the other ships for protection anti
finally making a run for it. Time bits were
made by tIm Brooklyn amid Oregon. One
8.Inth shell went into the port side of time
wardroom an'i left on time starboard side
\vitlmout exploding , but cleaned out everything -
thing in the room , A 5-Inch shell hit Just
above the armor belt and a C-Inch shell
struck it on the bow , None of the Injuries
was mitmiflejent to put it out of action nor as
serIous as those received by the Brooklyn ,
at' one time its sole antagonist. Time assertion -
tion that the Brooklyn was overhauling it.
and the Oregon's terrific 13'Inch gung were
slmooting nearer and nearer , anti thmat escape -
cape was Impossible , seems to be the correct -
rect solution of its surrender ,
'lzinyii Itiddled.
The Vlzcnyn Is of the same class as time
battleships Texas and Maine. It carries two
11.5-Inch guns and ten 6,5-Inch gtmmis , with
protective armor temm amid twelve Inches
thick , double and treble that of time Brook-
lyn. This ship was the specIal prey of the
Brooklyn and the Oregon , although the
Texas , after its destructive work on ( ho
of the same build as the VIcaya , was badly
iitmflilietl and was the only one of time four
ships lilt by 12 or 13-inch projectiles. It
has two of that size clean through it and
the Position of one would tend to demonstrate -
strato that It was fired by time Texas. An
8-imichi shell , umidoubtedly from the Brook-
hyn , because it was the only shIp in line
with time Maria Teresa's head as it turned
west , entered just forward of the beam
on the port aldo antI , exploding inside ,
cleaned out the deck with four gun crews.
ThIs is tile shot that Cervera says came
fromu tIme Brooklyn amid Set fire to the ship.
The Teresa's tilfilculty anti one that comPelled -
Polled Its hurried surrender , was that all
its fire mains were cut and it WflR titiable
to extInguish the fires that were keeping
its inca from the guns.
Oquelillo Slnrd'Mt lilt ,
The Almirante Oquendo , armored cruiser ,
same clasH as time Vlzcaya and Teresa , went
thmrotmglm the most terrible ordeal of any of
the ships except the torpedo boats. Its upper -
per works were one ragged mass of cutup
steel and its decks were covered with dead
amid dyIng , It was hit oa the port side four
timnes by eight-inch shells , three times by
four-inch shells fromn the Iowa , two times
by six-Inch nnd forty-two times by six
ioumltlcrs. Timi' Innunmerahie number of one
poumulers tlmat struck it show that it met the
fire of the entire fleet as it turned last. out
of the harbor.
TIm torpedo boats followed it and time
secondary battery shots intended for them
hit the Oquemido. When it. turned to the
shore It was In a dhplapidated condition ,
One of the findings of the Board of Survey
was that an eight-inch shell had struck the
forward turret just where the gun opening
was , and that every man In time turret was
killed , time officer standing in the firIng hood
being still in that position. Another fact
learned was that the torpedoes In some of
the ships were already loaded in tIle tubes
and prepared to fire.

The Horticultural building continues to
be LIme Macca for all of those who are interested -
terested in fruit anti fruit culture. and yes-
terday , while time attetmdanco upon the
grounds was the smallest , this building
was crowded. The exhibit In the building
Is constantly changing , anti those who go
there today will see an exhibit much different -
forent from the one upon which they gazed
a couple of days ago. This change Is made
necessary to muccommodate the new vane-
ties of fruit that arrive daily.
Tables anml shelves In the Horticultural
buhiding that were vacant a week ego are
now filled with ftult , the finest In time
land , anti alL of ttmo vacant space timat remains -
mains Is a small setion in the west end ,
which wilt be occupied by Colorado withimi
the next few days. Peaches , pears and
grapes are beginning to come 1mm at a lively
rate , anti before the end of another week
the display will have tmndergone many
changes ,
Take California for instance. During the
past week Superintendent Wilson has added
several new features that have caught the
visitors end opened their eyes with reIn-
tion to the products of Los Ange'es ) county.
He has put Ln an exhibit of walnuts that
in every respect are superior to those of
the Fnghish variety , and arc nearly as
large again , Theac he has In large quan-
titles , and eventually will begin giving
them away to the patrons of the exhibit ,
He has Just put on exhibition a fine display -
play of orange blend , a product that Is
seldom seen in this market , It has been
supposed that the orange was good only
for eating raw , but the people of Los Angeles -
geles county have discovered that the fruit
is for other purposes as well. They have
dIscovered the secret of canning the orange
and have made what they designate as
blend. It Is finely flavored and Is rapidly
coming Into public favor as a preserve.
Port wIno Is another new exhibit that
Superintendent Wilson takes great pleasure
in showing. The wIno now on exhibit
comes from the wine cellars of F. A. Last
of Los Angeles , anti Is pronounced by experts -
perts as being as fine as any that ever
went through the press , Immstead of beIng
thin and watery It Is thick and oily , while
the flavor is smooth and pleasant.
Just at this time Iowa is showing some
apples that attract the attentIon of the natives -
tivos , as well as the attention of the vIsIt-
era from a distance. Superintemmilent Coleman -
man of Conning has -
some sixty-live vat-ic-
ties on his table , but the fruit In which be
takes great pride is the big wlnesaps from
his own orchards. They are the favorites
and he hopes that they will be the prize
winners. He also has the yellow tmansparent
apples , which are rare. These are of his own
raising and are greatly admirerl. Iowa Is
also showing some fine berries anti imlumns.
The plum season is hardly on. Later in the
season it is expected that Iowa wIll put up
a plum exblbit that will be hard to beat.
The Nohraska fruit exhibit continues to
be the favorite , probably because just at this
time Nebraska is sending more visitors to
the exposition than any other statm. Superintendent -
intendent Youngers , who is in charga of the
exhibit , says , however , ( hat the Nebraska
fruit attracts the attention of everybody
and that they are willing to admit that this
is one of time heading fruit states In the
union. The exhibit of peaches is rapidly increasing -
creasing , H. P. Karnes of Fall City being
the latest exhibitor. lie has one of the harg-
est poach orchards In the state aad will market -
ket fully 40,000 baakets thIs season.
D. F' . Jenkins of Arcadia is showing twenty
varieties of cherries and is still shipping ,
while A. J. Brown of Geneva Is sending In
some of the finest apples and peaches ( lint
have yet. been seen. Mr. Brown is one of the
fruit men who has agreed to keep time Ne-
braska. tables full during the exposition.
At this time Nebraska has seventy vane-
ties of apples emi exhibitiomm , many of which
belong to the crop of this season.

As Is well known , time legislature of the
state of Georgia failed to make an appropriation -
priation to defray time expense attacheti to
mimaking a display at the expositiomm , Net-
withstanding this fact , a number of time
prominent mmmcmi of the great southern corn-
monwealtim decided that tim resources of
the south should be called to the attention
of tIme leoimle of time tnansmnississippi country -
try and active operations were inaugunated

Chairman Northen is Imis collection of time
products of the soil. Of his grasses he Is
showing alfalfa , something timat it has been
cotmtended could not be raised in the soutim.
This product from Georgia hooks as healthy
as that grown in Nebraska. In nildition to
this , there is white , red and crimmmson clover ,
Bermuda grass , Johmmmson grass and a dozen
other kinds , arnommg which is the vetch grass
that grows on the tops of time highest mountains -
tains as well as in the low lands of time
valleys.
A product peculiar to Georgia is time running -
ning pea. This Is raised in abimnthmnce , and
for cows is n great milk producer. It Is
pastured the saimme as tinmothmy in the north
and then Is plowed up , time roots amid stubble -
ble being a rlclm fertilizer.
The grain of Georgia is one of its strong
cards and a magnificent line is shown. There
Is wheat of this year's crop , the sheaves
standing six feet high anti running from
twenty to twenty-five bushels to time acre ,
the berry grading No. 1 , Time crop , however ,
Commissioner Northen says , was mmot up to
the usual standard this year. Oats make a
more remarkable showimmg than the wheat
and an affidavit. acconipaumles some of time
exhibIts , furnishing proof that they yielded
eighty bushels to the acre. In addition to
the somali grain there is corn that stands
eighteen feet from root to tassel , the stalks
bearing ears that are twenty-one inches iii
length train til ) to till.
The Georgia exhibit supplies proof that
the state Is the hand nail time home of the
sweet potato. and that time Irisim potato Is
at home in time southland , Time muoutliern
potato Is unusually mealy nail its striking
peculiarity Is that two crops per year can
be planted mind matured.
Cotton is one of the products that brIngs
much wealth into the exchequer of time

withIn time next few years , Twenty years
ago the seeds of thio cotton plant were carted
away and dumped In thmO river , but now th'is

Taking the cotton seed after it Is run
