The admirals of the foreign fleets In Gre
tan waters continue daily asking for def
mite instructions from their respective gov
ernments. They have urgently advised the
appointment of a European governor, as
they are incapable of ruling the island.
Col Vassos and the Greeks inspire the
greatest sympathy among all the foreign
correspondents, the futile measures of the
powers being daily denounced.
Mr. Gladstone has written another letter
on Cretan affairs and with reference to
the concert of Europe He says the atti-
tude of the powers recalls the days of Cas-
tlereagh and Metternich, when Greece was
unable to buy arguments in Europe on
credit, while Turkey had 10 difficulty what
ever in doing so.
Ii is stated that Greece will try to raise
an int rnal loan of Fl 100000.
The reports that Greek insurgents have
already crossed the Macedonian frontier
turn out to be incorrect.
A well-informed diplomat at Vienna de-
clares that some of the powers are deter
mined to maintain the blockade OF Greece

Their Effect on Human bones Fired
at Various Distances.

+
at Various Distances.
An interesting experiment has been made
at Kansas City with the Krag -Jorgensen
on human bones. The test was made un-
der the direction of DIR. ]. d. Griffeth, ex-
surgeon general Of the Missouri state mi
GERS and military surgeons that the 30
caliber steel-jacketed bulletwhich the Krag-
Jorgensen rifle shoots would either kill a
soldier instantly or leave wound which
would enable him to fight on without
knowing for long time that he had been
injured.
This theory has apparently been dissipat-
ed. human head and several lower limbs
of human cadayers were used. The tar
gets were placed in front of a high en-
bankment. DIR. W. T. Stark and General
Milton Moore of the state militia were the
sharpshooters. The shooting began at a
| range of 500 yards, and over 2O0 rounds
were fired at various distances
One of the first bullets fired struck the
head Just above the nose at a range of
500 yards. The skull as shattered as II 1t
had been an egg SHE'LL and the bullet
buried itself In the embankment, where it
was dug out later as bright and perfect
| as when it was placed In the rife. Other
bullets pierced the skull and splintered
the bone in radiating lines. The buk4E
also tore the bones Of the legs into Ekht-
| erS
| According to the opinion of those pres
| ent, the test showed that at any distance
| under 1000 yards the rifle throws a mis-
| siIe which rends human flesh, disintegrates
| human organs and tears and skaters hui
man bones into fragments. Beyond 1,OOO
yards-and the gun will carry three miles
| and kill-the bullet bores a small round
| hole through bone or tissue.
DIR. Grifreth will prepare the shattered
| bones for exhibition, and will make a re-
port of the tests to the National Associa-
/ ton of Military Surgeons, of which he is
| a member.
The report will be forwarded to the War
Department.
