CAN IDENTIFY THEM.

He said they were made in specia
way, had a specially constructed cable
which he can indentify if the smallest
piece is produced, and he added that
some of the mines were fixed so that they
could be fired from a fort while two Of
them had bulbs so arranged that they
would explode upon vessel coming into
contact with them. The man added, how
ever, that he did not believe the bulbs
would be used in water as shallow as that
of Havana harbor.
Finally the man exhibited plans Of one
of these mines, which he said was the
most likely to produce the effect describ-
ed as causing the wreck of the Maine. 1t
was numbered "2" and was constructed
to contain 500 pounds Of gun cotton.
Lieutenant Commander ]. G. Colwell,
the United States naval attache, has since
investigated the matter and has made a
report on the subject to the United States
government.
The facts learned strongly tend to show
that Havana harbor was mined and they
unquestionably prove that Spain purchas-
ed mines for that purpose.

SENT TO HAVANA.

The firm of Lattimer, Rhodes & Clark,
electrical engineers, during 1SS7-SS, filled
a large order for Spain of a lot of mines,
in which were used fourteen and half
tons of gun cotton. The work was done
under the surveillance of General Fernan-
dez and Captain Bustamento. The latter
was then the head of the Spanish torpedo
school. By order of these officers the
mines we're divided into four consign-
ments, for Havana, Ferrol, Cadiz and
Carthagena.
The mines were manufactured under the
direction of J. P. Gibbons after Gibbons
patents, which are described in Selman's
book on torpedoes and mines. Gibbons,
from whom a reporter Of the Associated
Press, obtains the information and who
furnished to Lieutenant Commander Col
well written statement of the above facts
and outlined his theory Of the explosion
which wrecked the Maine, was then en-
ployed by the firm as superintendent of the
torpedo department He also says-a SINH
lar lot OF torpedoes was manufactured for
Spain in 1895.
The manager of the Westminster En-
gineering Company, which is the successor
of the aforementioned firm, and with
which Gibbons is connected, confirms the
latter's statement as to the manufacture of
mines for Spain. Gibbons, who is former
sergeant of engineers and government
Inspector of torpedoes, believes the Names
first explosion was caused by what is tech
nically called a ground mine, containing
five hundred pounds of gun-cotton, several
of which were manufactured for Spain.

LOUIS JUNGER BACK.
Gives an Interesting Account OF
the Capture of San Juan.

Private Louis Junger of Co. B

in this city from Fortress Monroe
hospital, last Wednesday afternoon
He is home visiting his parents and
brother, on 30 days furlough, which
will probably be extended to 60 days,
in case be makes a request, and the
request seems certain, owing to Mr.
Junger's physical condition.
1t will be remembered by GAZETTE
readers that Mr.. Junger woke up one
morning during the middle of July to
fnd himself in the government hospi-
tai at Fortress Monroe. From there be

that after the battle of Santiago, in
which the city was taken on surrender
Mr.. Junger was overcome with heat
and malarial fever, and was obliged to
return to the field hospital near
Siboney. Later he was brought to
Fortress Monroe. He was doubled
up, completely, to use his own Ian

Vim. Halvorsen of Kilkenney, Le-
Sueur county, a threshing employee
with the machine of Woffensmith &
Welch, had his head badly pummeled
in clubbing affray just west of where
the Delhi Turing mill once stood,
about 10: 80 o'clock last Saturday
night. A man named Lane did the
job.
Halvorsen and his brother, with a
large number of other threshing ma

Saturday. Both of the young men
we're drinking some during the day,
and at about 10 o'clock last Saturday
night, they drove to the mill site with
the view of camping there for the
night. Lane and his wife and baby,
with three or four other persons, all
of Layette, who we're passing through
in camping rig, had already pitched
their tent there tor the evening.
As soon as Halvorsen and his broth
or arrived on the spot, they commenc-

yelling to Lane that the tract was

better move. Mr.. Lane gently told
the boys that there was room enough
there for them all, and if they would
consider it in that light there was nc
cause for disturbance. Halvorsen
was opposed to any such scheme and
told Lane and his flock to move. Lane
refused, upon which Halvorsen picked
up a neck yoke and made dash fol-

The worst storm that ever passed
over Walnut Grove and the south
western section of Redwood county
was the one of last Friday evening.
coming from the northwest and travel
ing to the southeast. Buildings we're
wrecked, wind mills were seat. flying
through the air, and grain in stacks
and in shock was thrown all over the
fields. No loss of life, or injury to
to person, was reported up to Tuesday
last.
AS witnessed by an observer at Wal
nut Grove it commenced growing dark
about $50 p. M, and it continued
until about six O'Clock, when most of
the residents were compelled to
light lamps in order to see. AT. about
six o'clock the storm began lsweeping
oyer the town. The wind blew in a
terrific manner, and was accompanied
by torrents of rain. Buildings in the
village were heard to :creak, and
occasionally a building was seen to
move from its foundation. The storm
lasted for about half an hour although
the wind blew and the rain fell moder-
ately afterwards.
The principal damage in the village
of Walnut Grove was to the big mill
in course of construction by j. G.
Dahms. The main part of the build
ing was practically completed and
enclosed when the storm struck it, and
it was blown entirely to pieces, and
leveled to the ground. The structure
was four story building The loss to
the owner will be between $500 and
$1,000. Charles Remington had a
barn blown down at loss of about
500. Dell Owens photograph gallery
was damaged to the extents of about
$50 and the barn of A. Freeman was

blown down at about the same loss.
There was a great deal of damage
done in the village not reported above,
the losses being of small account in
each case. Several buildings not
mentioned above were moved from
their foundations, and two or three
wind mills in the town we're blown
down.
Mr.. Dahms already has force of
men at work reconstructing the mill
building and will haye the same COM
pleted in q short time.
Between Walnut Grove and Lam

and damaged considerably.
