WERE PLANTING MINES
 IN HAVANA HARBOR.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, March 12.- According to Captain Greenmayer of the steamship Castilla, from New Or leans to Hamburg, which is now coal ing here, there is a network of mines in Havana harbor. Three years ago, he says. his vessel was about to steam into the harbor, when he was signaled not to enter. A pilot boarded the ship, and explained that the engineers were planting mines, and that it would be necessary for him to wait several hours before proceeding into port Captain Greenmayer was then masterof the Albino. He was at one time in the German army.

Nervous, Weak, Tired

The fatigue from overtaxed nerves is more intense, more depressing and more disastrous than anything known to tired muscles. The greatest suffer CTS from this condition are women, who are apt to receive criticism where they should have sympathy. Their condition is not due to perversity, but has its origin in serious malady The cause is found in the fact that the blood is impure and in it's impoverished con- dition cannot supply the nerves with proper nourishment. which is needed to make them strong.
 The remedy for weak nerves is found in Hoods Sarsaparilla, because it pur- ifies vitalizes. and enriches the blood, giving it power to build up the broken down nervous system. strengthen the muscles, cure all blood diseases and give health and vigor to the whole body. Special attention is invited to the following:

Call Office. Riggs House.


 Washington, March 12.
 There is general activity atthe Wash ington Navy Yard, three shifts of men working twenty-four hours continuous ly. The completion of the big guns there is being accomplished with all possible haste. The rush has led to large demand for machinists of all kinds, which up to now has not been met. An enlistment office for blue jackets was opened at the yard to-day. Thirty marines have been detailed from the yard to go with the Columbia or the Minneapolis. They are held in readiness to start at a moments mo- tice.
 Some of the finch guns have been completed this week, and were shipped to Indian Head to be tested. Not a day passes but that guns of some caliber are finished and taken down by the tug Triton to the proving grounds to be tested. Two or three of the monster lS-inch guns, with the exception of a few finishing touches to be put to the breech mechanism, are ready to be test ed.
 PORTSMOUTH, N. H., March 12.- Orders have been received at the Ports mouth Navy Yard from Washington to ascertain how many warships could be coaled here and the quickest possible time which would be required to SUD- ply vessel. The Washington authori- ties have been informed that four bat tieshlps and seven cruisers could be coaied at the navy yard here at one time, and that 10000 tons of coal could be supplied. The work of equipping the forti1ications is proceeding steadily. NEW YORK, March 12.-The enlist ing of skilled mechanics, machinists, seamen and iron workers was contin- ued to-day at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, but all applications from apprentices, landsmen and coal passers were refused, as there is already a full complement of these classes. The torpedo boat Sti- letto has been put into condition for sea. The work of transporting ammu- hilton from the yard to the steamships down the bay was continued to-day

Will Not Be Distributed Until Early in the Present
 Week.
Seanaen of the Fern Generously Contribute Their Dinner to the
 Sufferers.

Copyrighted, 1s9s by James Gordon Bennett.
 MATANZAS, March 12.-Fifty tons of provisions, medicines and clothing were brought to this city to-day to re- lieve the sick reconcentradoS. The sup plies came in two cargoes from the United States, the Fern bringing thirty five tons from Key West, and the bal ance coming on the British tramp steamer Bergen from New York. Both consignments were discharged this af- ternoon but are held under customs in- spection They will be released the first of the week and disposed or suD- ject to the order of Consul Brice, who already has done much to relieve the suffering in this city.
 Clara Barton, representing the Red Cross, and Louis Klopsech of the Chris tian Herald, came down on the morn ing train from Havana to investigate the condition of those for whom the goods are provided. Several members of Congress and a delegation Of Amer ican residents of Havana accompanied Miss Barton to this city and formal call was made upon Governor Don Francisco Armas Cespedes, who has himself contributed literally to the sup port of the reconcentrados. Cover nor Armas announced himself in sym pathy with the work of the Red Cross and promised cooperation.
 The presence of so many Americans soon became known to the reconcen- trados. who fairly mobbed Hotel Lou vre The visitors were assured by the Governor that conditions had much inn proved of late and while there was still much suffering, all the inhabitants would again be self-supporting after the close of the next rainy season.
 The supplies brought in to-day con- sist of four, corn meal, potatoes, smoked meats and clothing. More than this, nearly a ton of quinine was land ed. This will be freely distributed among those in need of 1t, but great precaution will be taken to see that it does not reach the insurgents. The Fern concluded discharging her stores this evening and at once proceeded to Sagua La Grande, where supplies will be landed tomorrow. Captain Cowles will take the Fern back to Key West on Monday.
 An incident of the day must not go without mention, 1t showing the ma terial of which the sailors of the navy are made. The crew of the Fern learned that supplies would not be available for several days, and in the meantime many ashore were hungry. The result was that no dinner was served aboard the Fern, permission being obtained to take the food. to the reconcentrados. Captain Cowles would not cheapen the deed by serving a second dinner, but the crew will lose nothing by the sacri- fee.
 Doctor Hubbell of the Red Cross So- ciety will remain in Matanzas over Sunday, consulting with Consul Brice as to the best method of distributing cunplieS

captain replied, but I am not going to admit that I have received any orders from Washington. In my official posi- tion I cannot say anything. But what ever the orders we cannot sail just yet. There is all the ammunition and coal to be taken on board, and all the prepara- tions to be made for sea. It would be a week or more before we could get away in any case.
 In the ward room the officers are quite as inconveniently situated as the captain. The hatchway in the center of the floor is open and through 1t one can look far down into the after maga- zine, where the ammunition Is being slowed.
 On deck the sailors were rolling the great shells along toward the maga- zine hatch They are the daisies re- marked the petty officer in charge of the operations proudly. With these we can smash anything which comes within range.
 They are certainly ugly looking cus- toners, these great steel projectiles. The muZzles of the two thirteen-inch guns in the after turret are close by, pointing upward and looking anxious to receive the shells. No armor in ex- istence could withstand the impact or these missiles at close quarters. Each one weighs 1250 pounds and contains a bursting charge of r,xty pounds of powder Placed upright beside man they will reach nearly to his shoulder. The Oregon has to take on board one hundred of these shells for each of her big guns or four hundred in all. That makes over two hundred tons dead weight, to say nothing of the ammuni- ton for the eight eight-inch and four six-inch guns, and many smaller weap- ons with which this tremendous fight ing machine is equipped It is no easy matter to get a vessel of this size ready for sea, and though leave has been stopped and all hands are working their hardest it will be some days be- fore the barges will leave the. side of the Oregon, before her decks will be washed clean and her paint restored to its pristine whiteness. Then she will be ready to meet the foe and to do whatever Uncle Sam may direct.
