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 ? ' Brooklyn's batch of hits. S'tt1t94 Mititic CoiiErovorNy. I "Any doubt that may have exIsted that the Maine was blown up by an outside explosion has heen dissolved by the examination of - , - . the destroyed Spanish ships , " saId a mum- ber of th& Board of Survey that examined : the remnants of AdmIral Cervera's Ileet. , , 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. Siimnlk r GIlDS l.st Bfft'etI'c , 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 t frightfully tiestructive.

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. DEMAND FOR RANGE HORSES l'rit'es Show a heavy Increase nnd Itunchiers Pin. !

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' .

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. MIiNESOTA 1'EOl'LId GRATIFIED.

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 iii this direction , 'Flint. timey succeeded is host evidenced by time fact that Georgia has it creditable buildummg tmpomi tIme groummmls anti that it Is filled with time grains , grasses , mnitmerals , marbles amid Products of time state.

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.
