TEST OF ARMOR PLATES.
superiority OF American Manufacture
Demonstrated at Indian Head.

WASHINGTON CRY, May 23.-Tne thick
est piece of armor ever manufactured in
this country. was tested at the Indian
Head proving grounds on Saturday The
piece was one of the ia nickel steel dag
onal plates for the Indiana, and is the first
OF the battle ship armor plates completed
by the Bethlehem iron works. Twenty di-
agonal plates for the battleships Indiana
and Massachusetts, aggregatng 5000 tons,
and representing $500 900 value. will at
once be accepted as a result of the test.
The results show conclusively the abil
lty OF American armor-makers to supply
armor plate of the highest quality. The
conditions were more severe than the tests
imposed by foreign countries. Under the
terms OF the contract. q projectile might go
nearly through the plate and backing, and
be accepted il no serious cracks developed.
None of the three shots fired succeeded in
getting far enough into the plate to show
breaking. The three shots were fired near
the middle region of the plate, the three
points OF impact forming equ:lateral tri-
angles. All three shots rebounded one of
them back to the muzzle of the gun, dis
lance of 135 feet. The deenest penetration
was fourteen inches, the others two inches
or so less. Only few slight cracks were
medc Immediately surrounding the burr
of each orifice made. A ten-inch gun was
used in the test. Two of the projectiles
were Firth imported. while the third had
been made by the same process in this
country. The latter was thrown ont en-
tlrely urinjured. while the two imported
broke in two. showing a splendid record
for the American plate. The projectiles
weighed 500 pounds and the powder charge
was 40 pounds. giving striking velocity
of ,4l0 feet second.

YAOUI INDIAN WAR.
Mexican Troops Take the Field to Ex-
terminate 10000 sonora Saxages.

PHOENIX, Ariz., May pa telegram
from Hermosilo, Mexico, says an engage
ment took place between government
troops under Lieutenant-Colo Zapata
and a band of Yaqui Indians near Los
Pilres, on the Rio Yaqui. on the 18th inst,
but accounts have been suppressed by Of
fcials. who adopted censorship over the
telegraph lines. An official report has
just been received which says a
number of Yaauis were killed and
the remainder dispersed, and that
owing to the mountainous con-
dition of the country the military was I'M
able to follow. Unofficial reports brought
in by American mining men state that
seven Mexican privates were killed and
two officers, including the commanding
officer, wounded.
This is the first engagement since the
late pronunciamento of determination.
Both parties are preparing for vigorous
and lengthy conflict. There are between
10000 and $1,000 Yaquis in the state OF So
nora, the greater portion of whom have
assumed an aggressive attitude. They are
poorly armed, however, and as rule re-
fuse open battle, preferring ambuscades
and guerrilla warfare.

SEATTLE TEAM PRACTICING.
Powell Wants Improvement in Battinl
Portland Here Thursday.

The Seattle team is taking full advant-
age of the fine weather, and is putting in
plenty of time practicing. The men have
all been playing good ball with the excep-
ton of batting, and Manager Powell is
determined that they shall come up to
their standard in this respect. There are
plenty of good hitters in the team,
and he thinks it only question of time
when they begin to find the ball. In con-
sequence. he is giving them all the work
be can to get their batting eye in trim.
Cofiman. the crack pitcher of the West
seattles. who has been doing some fine
box work in the amateur league games,
will practice with the team and may be
given trial by Manager Powell.
On Thursday the Portlands come for
their first game of the season here. There
will be no game on Wednesday as next
Monday is Decoration day and that date
will be utilized instead. The Seattles are
thirsting for revenge for their three
straight defeats at Portland, and the series
promises to be one of the livliest of the
season.
