FIELD BATTERIES.

All Those Of tho Army Are Supplied With
the New Breech-Loading Rifle.
The War Department has completed, within
the last few days, the work Of supplying oil the
field batteries Of the army with the S2-inch
breech-loading rife, thus giving each battery
at least four Of the guns. Some Of them have
six. It is expected soon to begin the issue Of
the gun to several Of the state colleges where
regular army officers are acting as instructors
The batteries OF the national guard will be sup
piled in the order in which their acquisitions
are received.
The machinery for the manufacture Of the
carriages Of the rife has lately been transferred
to the Rhode Island plant belonging to the
government. This will cause some delay but
it is thought that by next year the issue Of the
carriage will be carried along rapidly. In the
meantime, the 3.2-inch guns in service will be
mounted on the old type carriages.
Until now the new steel field carriages Fave
been manufactured at the Springfield armory.
The caissons, links, combined battery wagons
and forges are manufactured at the Watervliet
arsenal The heavy type carriages heretofore
issued for the S.2-inch gun will ultimately be
used almost wholly for the 36-inch gun.
The new 32-inch rifle has the jacket and
trunnions in one piece, with a locking shoulder
on tho extension in front OF the trunnions. The
breech sleeve is omitted, the breech lock being
seated in the jacket. The standard weight Of
the shell Of the new rifle at present is thirteen
and half pounds.

THE CHOCTAw EXECUTIONS.
Tomorrow the Day Set-If the Prisoners
Are Shot There VIII BE Trouble.

Tomorrow the Day set-If the Prisoners
Are Shot There Will Be Trouble.
The Interior Department is awaiting with
some degree of interest further advices from
the Choctaw nation relative to the serious situa-
ton existing these between Gov. Jones and the
United States authorities.
Tomorrow is the day set for the execution of
the Indian prisoners by Gov. Jones, and if he
attempts to shoot them in direct violation of
the departments orders, it is believed there
will undoubtedly be q fight between the United
States troops and the militia Of Gov Jones.
The action Of Secretary Smith in recommend
ing the reprieve Of the prisoners is in the line
of preventing internal dissensions in the nation,
authority for which is claimed by the depart
ment under treaty stipulations. The Secretary
has received assurances that il Gov. Jones
shoots the condemned men the Locke faction
will exact two lives for every one sacrificed. The
Secretary thinks that il the condemned men are
reprieved the factional fight will die out, but
their execution will be followed by more kill
ings.
The department hopes that it will not become
necessary to interfere with the autonomy Of the
Choctsw nation, but will do SO unhesitatinRly
If compelled by Gov. Jones stubbornness.

INCREASING THE NAVY,

Keels for the Cruiser Brooklyn and Battle
Ship Iowa Soon to Be Laid.
Preparations have been made ct Cramps
ship yard at Philadelphia to begin work on the
armored cruiser Brooklyn. and the keel will be
laid either today or tomorrow The keel Of the
battle ship Iowa will also be laid in about two
weeks. These two are the last warships that
have been contracted for by the Cramps, and
when the Columbia is launched next month
these will be the only two government ships in
the stocks
The Brooklyn is patterned after the armored
cruiser New York, but the two are not identical
in all respects. The Brooklyn is to be 9. 100
tons, 1000 tons heavier than the New York,
and her length is to be 400 feet. 20 feet longer
than the New York, while her breadth. GA feet
is to be the same as that Of the New York. The
mean draught is to be "a feet. She will have
four triple expansion engines Of 16, 900 horse
power. and will be propelled by twin screws.
All her machinery and her boilers will bs just
like those of the New York
The Brooklyn differs materially from the
New York in having lighter srmor and heavier
armament-in other words, she will have
greater offensive powers, but have weaker
defense.

ENGINEERS REPORTS,
Gen. Casey Declines to Allow Thsm to BE
Made Public.


Gen. Casey Declines to Allow Thsm to BE
Made Public.
Considerable disappointment is expressed at
the unlooked-for action Of Gen. Casey, chief Of
engineers, in refusing to permit the publica-
ton Of the annual reports Of the engineer
officers in charge Of the river and harbor i'm
provements in all parts Of the country.
These reports have heretofore always been
made public, and the people in the localities
covered by the operations look forward to them
with interest. as they naturally desire to know
what progress has been made in the
works and what further operations are
contemplated toward the completion Of the
project Several Of the reports are at the de-
partment, including that Of Maj. G. E. L. B.
Davis on the improvement Of the Potomac
river at and near Washington. Gen.
Casey declines positively to permit Newspaper
men to see them and even declines to see any
body himself on the subject. This unusual
meeting Of Congress and the work necessary to
prepare the reports and estimates for prompt
transmission.
While there may be some reason in this 1t is
considered by no means sufficient to absolutely
prohibit access to the reports for the short
time required in making an abstract for the
newspapers.
Furthermore, each report is accompanied by
an abstract Of its contents prepared by the engi-
neer officer, which abstract is sufficiently COM
plete for all newspaper purposes.
Although these reports have always been
given out heretofore it is said that it was done
by the Secretary Of War in spite of Gen. Casey's
protest; The matter will be presented to Sec
retary Lamont on his return to Washington
and it is confidently expected that he will over
rule Gen. Casey's policy Of secrecy, just 90 was
done by his predecessors

The Satterlee-H Harlem River Contract Case.
Some time ago the firm of Satterlee & Com
pany undertook a large contract in building a
cofferdam, which was q necessary part of the
project for connecting the waters of the East
and Hudson rivers by way of Harlem, New
York. Just as the work was nearing compile
ton a heavy tide overfowed the dam and did
much damage to the work already accom-
plished. Meantime the head of the firm had
died and mis- administrators were called upon to
restore the dam. They were unable to do SO
at their own expense and sought to relinquish
the contract, with pay for the work done. basing
their claim on the ground that they were not
responsible for the damage. This claim has
been pending before the War Department for
some time, and the chief of engineers was Of
opinion that the contractors or their
administrators should be required to
restore the work. but. acting on the recon-
mendation Of Col. Gillespie. the engineer officer
directly in charge Of the project, the depart
ment has just decided that it will allow the firm
about $4,000 for the work done and will make
other arrangements for its completion.

T ERRIBLE ENGINES,
Navy Department Investigating Boats to
Run Under Water.
Jules verne's Idea Realised at Last - Two
Models 70 Be Further studied-Dif-
Hersnt Methods Of Submersion.

Secretary Herbert has received the report Of
the board Of officers appointed to consider the
plans recently submitted for the construction
OF submarine torpedo boat The report says
that of all the plans submitted but two appear
to promise practical results. These are what
are known as the Holland boat and the Baker
boat, and the board seeks for opportunity to
mako further investigation into their merits and
to hear personally from the inventors, both Of
which requests Secretary Herbert has granted.
The two boats selected for examination have
some points Of resemblance in general aspect
They are Of the same size, measuring nearly
$50 tons when submerged. Each uses steam as
the propelling power when on the surface and
electricity, supplied by storage battery charged
by the main engines when submerged When
they dive under the water both boats house
their smokestacks and seal all openings with
iron plates.
THE BAKER MODEL.
The essential feature Of the Baker boat is the
propelling apparatus, which also serves to sub
merge her. This consists Of two screw pro-
pellers one on either side, 20 arranged on q
transverse shaft passing through the middle Of
the boat at the center Of gravity that ,hey can
be turned at different angles When the boat
is to be submerged these propellers are turned
upward and drive the hull under water, and
when the desired depth has been reached the
angle Is adjusted SO as to drive tho boat in .
horizontal line. By revolving them slowly the
boat can be maintained at any place.
ANOTHER PLAN.
The Holland boat depends for her submer-
sion on what is known as fin rudders. They
are arranged in horizontal plane, and when
the propeller at the stern drives the boat ahead
slight inclination Of the rudders will cause
her to dive beneath the surface. This boat has
another rudder arranged SO as to cause her
automatically to steer . straight course when
under water, . most important point when the
darkness below the surface is considered. She
also has q regulator for her fn rudders, made
on the plan Of Whitehead torpedo. which will
keep the boat at any desired depth while she
runs along under water. Each Of the boats is
fitted With tanks filed with compressed air,
which will insure quick return to the surface
in case Of any arrangement Of the propelling
apparatus. The Baker boat IL designed to
mako speed of twelve knots above and ten
knots under water and the Holland boat to
make fifteen knots on the surface and eight be-
meath.

sion on the question when the executive COM
mittee met yesterday, but the question was too
sweeping for them to handle, and the matter
was referred TO the general meeting of the
directors, which takes place at the worlds fair
grounds tomorrow. The comparatively small
attendance on the last four Sundays has per-
picked the directors, and il is now highly prob
able that the worlds fair will not be opened
after next Sunday, as il is expected that the
directors will vote for Sunday closing tomor-
