MANCIIURIA.
A COUNTRY OF EXCEEDING RICHNESS
AND PROMISE.

Captain Younghusband in The Nineteenth Cent
ury.
Away on the extremely opposite end to ours or
the great EuraSan continent is a country TO
which only too little attention has as yet been
paid. and which, account of its wealth. its
favorable natural position and the intelligence OF
its inhabitants, will attract to itself yearly In
creasng notice from Europe. and play no insig-
nfcant part in the history Of the next few de-
two rising Powers pressing around Manchuria
and threatening to contest its possession with
the seemingly dormant Chinese. II Man
churia were such a Wretchedly poor country as.
for instance. KhiVa Merry and Turkestan. and
others which have fallen to the lot Of the Rus
slams. comparatively little attention need be paid
to the progress Of events in that distant quarter
II the world. 1t would matter but little TO other
European nations whether the Russian or Jap
anese did or did not take the country. But Man
churia is no such desert country. 1t Is, on the
contrary, a country Of exceeding richness and OF
promise scarcely less than that Of the Transvaal
itself and compared 10 which the whole OF Cen
trail Africa. from Uganda to khartOum, Is OF
patry insignificancc. The timber alone
in the vast virgin forests which clOthe the hill
sides over thousands Of square miles must be
worth many millions; for this timber Is OF the
most valuable kind. and besides the ordinary
pines. which common all over the world. and
which being fast growing are easily replaced
when cut down. there are immense quantities
IF hard timber-of oak and elm and walnut-to
replace which a century is required. and the
quantity OF which in the world is rapidly dimin-
ishng. Manchura is equally rich In its
production Of cereals. and in the southern pOr
ton OF such crops as indigo and tobacco.
Such being the climate. the nature OF the
country. its soil and productions. the inhabi
tants, as might be expected. are a strong, hardy.

THE vEsUyIUs.

The shells of the Vesuvius each con-
tain 500 pounds of guncotton, and
they can be dropped at any range de-
sired up to three miles. The shell;
are fired from the guns by means o.
compressed air, and exploded either by
percussion or time fuses. The time
fuse, however, are always used in con
nection with the percussion caps, sc
as to insure explosions even upon the
failure of the shells to strike any solid
object.
According to published accounts, the
Vesuvius steals out from the feet in
the darkness, keeping we'll in the
shadow of the hills until she gets as
close as she desires to the Notifications
and then takes her position. Present
ly, after the range has been adjusted
there is a peculiar Kissing, cough-like
noise, the shell flies like an arrow, and
within a few seconds afterward the
vicinity about the harbor entrance is
lighted up almost to the very skies
and there comes back terrific repor,
accompanied by shock which makes
the very Vesuvius itself tremble.
AS to just how much damage has
been wrought by the Vesuvius is not
yet definitely known. Reports are
conflicting. Theoretically the explo
sion of 500 pounds of gun cotton is
sufficient to destroy any fortifcatior
it might strike. Next morning after
some of the shots, the officers on the
fleets have been able to see much ruin
along the shore where the explosions
took place. One shot almost destroyed
the Socapa battery on the west side Of
the channel entrance. 1t is reported
that several ships inside of the harbol
have been sunk by shells which were
sent over the hills. Time and again
Santiago has been shaken as if by an
earthquake, and the Cubans report
that the Spaniards call the Fesuvius
the Earthquake thrower." 1t is also
repeatedly stated as fact that for ten
nights or more the Spanish soldiers
have refused to remain with their guns
in MORO on account of the dreaded
ship.
That the Vesuvius is doing much
effective work, there is no reason to
doubt; but as to exactly how effective
her work is matter that must remain
largely for future investigation. The
cruiser will, no doubt, continue to
throw gun cotton at the batteries and
into the lower harbor, and then after
the capture of the city and fortifica'
tions, the Americans will be able to
secure some accurate information as
to the value of this new idea in mod
ern warfare.
