The Situation at Kew West

Key West. Fla. April 14.-While no de-
tail OF labor or expense is being spared in
rushing the navy to the greatest possible
fitness for aggressive and defensive oner-
atoms. there is a strong feeling here
that the army branch is being neglected
so far as this place is concerned. The
army officials at the barracks here,
where two batteries of artillery are sta
toned, complain that they are being han
dicapped by somebody's lack of wisdom.
Captain Morrill,, who commands the
post, being short of men for police and
manuel duty, made a requiSition for
more, and in two companies
or the T~Wenty-fifth Infantry have been
ordered here from Fort M%issoula. Mon
tana. With them will come Lieutenant
Colonel Daggett, of the infantry, who, by
virtue of rank, will supersede Captain
Morrill, as commander. The latter has
wired to Washington protesting against
this as unwise and unjust.
The work of terrifying Key West is
progressing without interruption. A
number Of Nordenfeldt rapid fire guns,
bought by the government in Europe,
and of twelve-inch mortars are expected

Cuba's Population
Editors Messenger:

Everybody is interested in knowing the
truth about Cuba, and hence l write to
suggest that there is an error in the arti-
Gle you copied yesterday, the 18th, from
the Atlanta Constitution about the maps
of Cuba in the Atlanta schools. 1t says
"Only % per cen of the population are
negroes" This does not agree with the
recognized authorities. In Lippencott's
Gazetteer 085O the population is given
from DeBoW,s Review, ION the authority
of Don Jose M. de Ia Tore, member of
the Real Sociedad Economica of Ha-
vana." In 1853 there were $40, 9SS whites
and J07, 072 blacks. And in Alden's Cyclic
pedia 0888) the population is given as
follows: In 1872. $50, 100 whites, 6C5, 461
blacks, 1900 Chinese and Hindoo coolies,
and in 1880, 764, 100 whites, 572, 1902 blacks,

NATIONAL CAPITOL AF|RE
GAS EXPLOSION THE
CAUSE.
Supreme Court Room Gets the Worst
of It--Damage Less Than Was at
First Feared.

WASHINGTON, November 6.-An
explosion and fire at 5:13 this after
noon wrecked the Supreme court
room and the rooms Immediately adj
joining it on the main floor the Capt.
toll. The damage is enormous. The
entire central eastern portion of the
great marble pile from the main floor
to the subterranean basement is prac-
tically mass of ruins. The force of
the explosion was so heavy that the
coping stone on the outer walls. just
east of the point where the explosion
occurred. were bulged out nearly two
inches; windows in all that part of the
building were blown out, and locked
doors were forced from their hinges
quite hundred and fifty feet from
the scene.
Fire followed the explosion so quick
~ as to seem practically simultaneous
with it. The explosion occurred i'm a
small room tightly incloSed by heavy
stone walls in the subterTanean base
ment Immediately below the main en-
trance to the old Capitol building. The
flames originating from the explosion
darted up the shaft of the elevator,
which had been completely destroyed
by the force of the explosion, and
communicated with the record room
of the Supreme Court, the office of
the marshal of the court and the Su-
preme Court library.
WASHINGTON, November THE
damage caused by the explosion and
fire in the Capitol building last night
is not so serious as was at first fear
ed. The library of the Supreme Court
which, next to the Congressional Ii
brary, is the most valuable collection
of books in Washington. escaped with
little damage, although it was in the
very center of the disturbance, the
wrecked elevator shaft and upheaved
floor stones being at the library en-
trance. 1t is estimated that the loss
in the library will be covered by $500.
The books escaped intact. the loss be-
ing confined to singed woodwork.
Architect Wood, at the close of the
daY, expressed the opinion that the
damage to the Capitol building could
be repaired for $4,000.
WASHINGTON, November THE
Supreme Court of the United States
sat today i'm the room of the Senate
Committee on the District of Column
bia. The quarters were so contracted
that it was necessary to exclude visit
ors. The Court sat outside it's own
chamber for the first time since 1914.
