Further Tests to be Made by the Navy
Department.
WASHINGTON, June 24.-As a result of
the report of Commander Evans the board
which conducted the recent tests Of the
dynamite guns of the Vesuvius at Fortress
Monroe, Virginia, the navy department has
decided to make further tests of the guns
The board asked for 108 projectiles. As
these are expensive the department
has reduced the number to be
allowed to seventy-flve projectiles
and these it is believed will be sufficient to
determine the curve aud establish the range
of the guns The vessel will also be fitted
with range finder of new design so that
the distance of the target from the guns can
be asoertnined instantly with a close ap-
proximation to absolute accuracy
Sights are to be fitted to
the guns and some alterations
suggested by the last trial will be made in
the mechancism which admits the COM
pressed air TO impel the projectile. When
these things have been done and the pro-
jectiles procured. which will require two or
three months, final and thorough test will
De made to ascertain the actual value of the
