POWER OF A
 BURSTING SHELL Report of Destruction Wrought in BattIeship Indiana
 July Sd.

Washington, July 21.-The navy depart ment has obtained a very striking concep- tion of the tremendous power of shelf bursting within the close enclosure of Il battleship from report which has been re- ceived at the department from Captain Taylor, of the Indiana. It is safe to as- sume that this report taken in connection with the destruction of the Spanish ves- sels in a large part by fire off Santiago will lead the navy department to redoube instead of relaxing its efforts to protect the American warships from fire by all known scientific means. The report fol- lows:
 "united States Battleship Indiana, off Santiago, July 5, 1898.
 About 12 midnight last night this ship was struck by a shell, apparently from an s 3-S mortar, which pierced the deck and the flash plate between beam 76 and T. four inches from the starboard rail. The shell exploded in compartment B-10O just forward of the cabin door, fragments pierc- ing the cabin water pipe bulk in two places near the starboard cabin door. Large frag- ments pierced the water-tight hearth deck in two places, entering the paymasters state room. Large fragments also pierced and completely wrecked the water-tight
 hatch plate leading to the berth deck. The
 rooms in the vicinity on both sides were
 badly wrecked, considerable damage peing
 done to the furniture and corrugated bulk
 heads A leak was started in the fire main
 by a small fragment and the whole com
 partment was so filled with smoke that IL
 necessitated taking up the battle matches
 on the main deck. Only a few sparks or
 fire were observed, which were quickly put
 out as a stream of water was put into
 the compartment immediately after the
 shell struck"
 Captain Baylor ends with the statement.
 that no one was injured and that his ship
 is in perfect condition for battle.

Gen. Woodford at Washington

Washington. July 21.-General Stewart L. Woodford. who represented this govern ment at Madrid had an interview with the president this afternoon which occupied over an hour. He will return to New York tomorrow General Woodford made an ex- press and emphatic disclaimer of any po- iitical nature in his visit here. lie said 1t was solely on personal and law matters. He was not called here, he said, nor was there any truth in the reports commenting on his visit as indicative of an early peace movement. When Minister Woodford set sail for Spain very soon after his appoint ment there were several matters of pro- fessoinal detail here coming up in his legal work. which he had no time to dispose of. The matters of personal nature, it is ex-. plaaned, have brought him over here for a two days stay and have now been closed MT. Woodford's denial that his trip had any hearing on the situation was positive and. uneouivocal. He, however, declined to be quoted or to discuss any phase of the situ-i ation. While here, however, there is no doubt of his having given the administra- tion the benefit of his knowledge of Spanish affairs

NO WOMAN IS EXEMPT.

Regularity Is a matter of importance in every woman's life. Much pain is, however. endgrsd ia ia ths beljef that it is necessary and not alarming, when in truth it is all wrong and indicates derangemeht that may cause serious trouble.
 Excessive monthly pain itself will unsettle the nerves and make women old before their time.
 The foundation of woman's health is a perfectly normal and regular per formance of nature's function. The statement we print from Miss GER TRUDE SYKES, of Eldred, Pa, is echoed in every city, town and hamlet in this country. Read what she says:
 "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-I feel like new person since following your ad- vice, and think it is my duty to let the public know the good your remedies have done me. My troubles were pain ful menstruation and leucorrhea. I was nervous and had spells of being confused. Before using your remedies never had any faith in patent medi- cines. now wish to say that I never had anything do me so much good for painful lmenstruation as Lydia B. Pink hams Vegetable Compound; also would say that your Sanative Wash has cured me of leucorrhea. l hope these few words may help suffering women"
 The present Mrs. Pinkham's experi- ence in treating female ills is unparal- leled, for years she worked side by side with Mrs. Lydia D. Pinkham, and for sometime past has had sole charge of the correspondence department of her great business, treating by letter as many as hundred thousand ailing women during single year.
 All suffering women are invited to write freely to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass, for advice about their health.

AN OVERLOOKED ARGUMENT

From the Huntsville Tribune.
 There is one argument in favor of land grabbing that is often overlooked. This war has developed hero after hero-what on earth are we going to do with them after the war is over? We must reward them of course how else can we do it better than by retaining all we capture from Spain and reserve the govern mant of the islands for the heroes. We must. in view of our crop of heroes, pre- nare place for them, hence we are forced toI a policy of territorial aggrandizement Then should we make a mess of governing the annexed territory we could make the excuse-the heroes caused 1t.
