AWFUL RAIN OF SHELLS.
In tho Battle with CerverA's Fleet the
Oregon Alone Fired Lite Shots. MOST
ly from Her sIx -Pounders.

Playa del Este, July 13.-Somc idea
Of the awful rain of shells poured into
the doomed Spanish squadron on the
morning of July by the pursuing
American warships may be gained
from the number of shots fired from
the battleship Oregon. This number
also bears out the statement Of the
Spanish officer that it was the fire from
the secondary batteries that drove
their men from their guns and forced
the ships to the beach. From the time
when Private o'Shay, of the battle-
ship Oregon, fred the first shot from
her forward six-pounder, until the
Cristobal Colon turned to the shore,
the Oregon fred I, 77G shells. OF these,
1870 were from her six-pounders. The
big 1S-inch guns were fired "a times,
the eight-inch guns IS times and the
six-inch "a times The one-poundcrs
were fred 90 times. The destruction
caused by some OF these shots was
fearful. One eight-inch she'll, which
penetrated the turret OF the o. uendo,
exploded and killed every person i'm
side, blowing some to pieces.

Washington, July 1.-THE war de-

that there were II cases OF yellow

such cases Since that time Information has
been received that number OF additional
cases have occurred. Every effort will be made
TO arrest tho progress OF the disease by the
establishment OF isolation hospitals In which
the sick will be treated by immune surgeons
and cared for by immune nurses

water, soaked for "a hours ut time in
tropical rains, recklessly disregarding
the advice Of the medical corps In
the matter Of drinking unboiled
water and eating large quantities
Of tropical fruit, were certainly in
some danger Of contracting disease
II the same should be existent in their
neighborhood. The promptness with
which the sick men have been isolated
and the thorough precautions adopted
TO secure for them the best nursing
and medicine, combined with the i'm
proved methods OF treatment Of fever
that have been developed by the United
States marine hospital service and
adopted by the army, would seem to
warrant the confidence expressed by
medical officers here of the ability OF
the surgeons with Gen. Shafter to con-
troll these cases and prevent an extern
sion of the fever.
