An astonishing number of shells had
also to be used to batter down a mud

struction of life the Lyddite shell Is ter

and men within a large area simply
drop down as though the angel of
death had passed over the field when
the shells burst.
Report says 80 per cent. of the enemy
found death through artillery fire, but
showed no signs Of wounds. They had
been killed by the air conclusion Of
the explosive The shell was not eX-

though better results were anticipated
in demolishing buildings and fOrtifca-

IS OUT OF HAYTI
Woman Wanted to Escape
"Canniba1 Season"
Severe Arraignment of Natives.
Horrible Charge Made and
Denied-Governm
New York Times

\ mulattress with a plump baby in
her arms reached Philadelphia on a
sailing vessel from Hayti the other
day, and declared her eager desire 10
become a resident Of the United States
1t was necessary for her to get a bond
as guarantee that she would not be-
come a public charge, and while the
incidental fOrmalities were in progress
somebody asked her why she had come
from tropical island and her own peo-
pie to live among strangers, where the
making of a living is a task by no
means easy.
The woman answered with an earn
estness that said much for her SINGER
ity and something for her veracity,
that she left Hayti because the season
for certain cannibalistic rites in the
district where she lived was coming
on, and that her child would have been
killed and eaten if she had not left the
country. This horrible charge has
been made against the Haytians many
LlLltS. anu DIS often utSII6u DS LuSh,
but the denials have not carried the
weight of the accusations, and the best
authorities regard it at least as highly
probable that in parts of the black re-
public heathanish customs Of the most
frightful sort have been practiced ever
since the expulsion Of the French.
The Government is corrupt and san
culinary, and the treatment of white
is often atrocious. The Hay
tians have had many years in which
to develop the power of self-govern-
nent, but they remain far below the
standards of civilization, and harsh
critics declare that they are sinking
rather than rising Moreover, this
island is potentially of great value.
There is basis of prophecy in that
fact.

TRANSPORT FLEET.

WASHINGTON, December 2S.-As
soon as the emergency fund of $4,000
600, which is carried by the deficiency
bill, is available, the first step Of the
war administration will be to add TO
the fleet of transports in the Pacific
ocean and to make such alterations in
those now under its control that there
may be no further hireing Of British
ships for carrying supplies and holding
them. This is the prime purpose Of
the fund, and as soon as it IS in hand
it is expected there will be al least
three ships added to the Pacific fleet
and refrigerating plants placed in most
Of these and the ones now owned.

> HIpBUILDING.
Maine Enjoying Return of the
Good Old Times.

Dispatches from leading shipbuild-
ing centers on the ocean and on the
great lakes. says a paper on the Main
land, testify to great activity in all
lines of this industry. From Maine es-
pecially reports are good, as may be
gathered from the following extract
from a dispatch to the New York Sun:
The very best sign of the good times
in Maine is the arrival Of a shipbuild-
ing boom which, while coming too late
to make a great showing of tonnage
launched this year, has set the yards
and shops going at buster rate than
they have known for decade In
years past Maine used to build from
10, 900 TO 10000 tons of shipping an
nually, but of late, for reasons that
have been told over and over again,
the industry has fallen into decay, and
the figures have been too small to be
worth publishing. Now, however,
Maine has a boom in her shipyards,
and the good effects are felt from
Portland to PASSPORT. Various causes
have contributed to bring about this
revival of shipbuilding, but the war
with Spain and the commercial condi-
tons and opportunities resultant there
from are the chief factors. It cannot
be said that the days of wooden ship
have returned, for in all the list of new
vessels launched, in process of con-
&c
not one wooden square-rigger. Chang
ed conditions demand new types of YES
sells. and Maine is now prepared to
build anything wanted, from palatial
steam yacht to a coal barge. While
the revival of business extends all
along the coast, not much has yet
been done at any place except Bath,
which is the center Of the shipbuilding
industry in Maine"

FOR GERMAN WARSHIPS.

The German ship Artemis has arriv-
ed at Port Townsend from Hamburg
and she will take away one of the
most remarkable cargoes that ever left
the Pacific Coast. She will carry 1,000,-
600 feet Of lumber, every piece of
which is to be selected and absolutely
fiawless. Not a knot or a crack will
pass muster, and some of the timber
will be sixty feet in length. The lum-
Der is to be used for the decks and in
terror of German men-of-war.
