WHAT ONE SHELL DID.
CAPTAIN TAYLOR's REPORT OF AN ExPLo-
SION ON THE INDIANA.

SION ON THE INDIANA.
Washington, July 21.-The Navy Department
has obtained a striking conception Of the tre-
mendous power Of a shell bursting within bat
tle-shIp from a report which has just been re-
ceived at the Department from Captain Taylor
Of the Indiana Aside from the actual bursting
energy OF the shell described by Captain Tay'
lcr. 1t is perceived from his report that great
danger was experienced from fire. owing 10 the
fact that the Indiana is not. like some OF the
battle-ships Of later construction, fitted with
freproof wood throughout. II Is safe to as
sumo that this report, taken in connection with
the destruction Of the Spanish vessels in a large
part by fire off Santiago. will lead the Navy De-
partment to redouble instead OF relax its efforts
to protect the American warships from fire by
all known scientific means
Captain Taylors report reads as follows:

SANTIAGO AFFAIRS.
No YeiIow-Feyer I'm City During
Past sixty Days.

SANTIAGO, November 1.-Generai
Leonard Wood. Governor OF the Military
Department Of Santiago. authorizes the
statement that there has not been a case
OF yallow-fever in Santiago city during
the last sixty days. and that the ordinary
sickness during the same period has been
80 per cent. less than usual at this sea-
son OF the year.
In view of the fact that a good many
people have been unnecessarily frightened
by Fictitious tales of suffering. General
Wood asks that hereafter all applicants
10 the various societies for aid be referred
to him. If the case is a really needy
one, he will endorse the application.
General Wood does not wish to be under
stood as saying that no private assistance
Is wanted in Santiago. On the contrary,
much will be needed, though the present
supply is ample for present contingencies.
| He warmly commends the Red Cross
| Society for continuous help and for sup
| plies, which, under the direction OF Of
| 1cers appointed by him, have been eff
! fectiyely distributed.
! GETTING CUBANS TO WORK.
| The leading Cubans are very anxious TO
| have their people return to work. They
are preparing plans, TO be laid before
the government that will enable all the
| insurgents who are willing to work to get
| employment In building railroads In yari-
| Gus parts OF the island. The idea will
| be to pay for the lines by local taxation,
the roads thus becoming government pro-
1 perty, and eventually reverting TO the
| Cubans. II is believed that 1000 men
now idle can be given regular employment
i'm this way.
The United States transport Victor,
! which leaves tomorrow for the United
States. will carry number OF sick TO
| Hampton Roads and New York city. She
will also take the bodies OF a number OF
United States soldiers killed In action.
These have been placed in hermetically-
sealed collins.
Fears are expressed here to-day that
the former Spanish cruiser Infanta Maria
Teresa, which left Guantanamo bay on
Saturday for the United States. accom-
panied by the repair-ship Vulcan, may
have met with a hurricane on Sunday
night.
CIVILIAN FOR MAYOR.
Santiago newspapers are asking General
Wood TO appoint civilian as Mayor Of
the city, and he will probably designate
Senior Leonardo Rios, who was Mayor
under the Spanish regime, and who was
appointed by General Shafter the first
civil Governor after the American occu.
patton. holding the office for several
weeks Senior Rios is a Cuban by birth.
Formerly he was an Autonomist, but al
present he is apparently identified with
the Extremist section OF the Cuban party.
A representative negro has written a
| iattar IA General Wood demanding that
the negroes, who, he says constitute a
large majority OF the population OF the
D province, should be given their rights.
and informing the General Of his inten-
ton OF forming a labor party, composed
OF blacks. Negro labor is really wanted
here. General Wood stating that II the
0 people of the province will not work, ne
will authorize the immigration OF negro
.aborers.
