 THE GATLINGS.
 After the review drill with the Cat ling guns was held and consisted of fir ing drill besides other gun maneuvers. This was followed by the heavy artillery drill. The regular battalion drill was held at o'clock, but the men were eX- cused from regimental drill. While the review was going on a detail of men was firing shells from the ten-inch siege mortars stationed at the shore. These shells were so fixed with fuses that they would explode about ten seconds after leaving the gun. Half-pound charges of powder were used, this amount being necessary to carry the shells to the re- quired distance. All the ammunition used for these guns was stored in the magazine built under the earthworks. The firing was in charge of Sergeant Connor of Battery A, First artillery. The battery will break camp this even ing at 6:90. EX-COLONEL DOHERTY IGNORED
