DYNAMITE GUNS.
Six of Them Have Now Been Put in
Position.

Six of Them Have Now Been Put i'm
Position.
The War Department is Informed that
the six pneumatic dynamite guns intended
for the defense of New York and San Fran
cisco have been put in position. three at
Sandy Hook and three at Fort Scott, at the
entrance of Golden Gate. The guns are Of
the disappearing character, and are cap
able of hurting 5O0-pound projectiles con-
tanning the highest explosives a distance
of two miles. They are unQues.ionably the
most powerful means of defense known to
modern science for land fortifications. They
lack the terrific velocities and range Of
powder guns, but the blow dealt by one Of
their shells is almost incaiculable Some
officers have contended that the fight of
the projectiles is SO slow that they can
be watched and lodged by fast torpedo
boats, but this is not believed to be true
and in fact il would not be necessary to
hit a ship in order to seriously harm her.
but the shock experienced from the eypIo-
sion of a shell some distance off would be
sufficient to put most Of a vessels men out
OF action.
While the government has accepted only
six of these guns, others are contemplated
for other defelses. Two or three will be
placed to guard Washington city, with the
assistance of steel guns, at old Fort Wash
ipgton. Several are provided in the pians
for the protection of Baltimore and every
other city which must be defended by land

ported to the House today The bill carries
an appropriation of Sill ,325, $50, .which is
about the sum appropriated last year ana

tanned, as was the provision that a widow.
