less with a feeling of perfect Sc.
curity, when suddenly by the
agency of fends in human form
there was a submarine explosion
which shivered the vessel into
shreds, and hurled into eternity
about two hundred and fifty of our
countrymen. Prior to this and
after this, thousands of our peo-
pie were deeply hurt and incensed
by crueltles perpetrated upon the
Cnbans by the heartless Spaniards.
A war cloud arose. The 1nutter-
ing thunder was heard. Streaks
OF lightning were in the sky, and
as great as was the aversion of our
chief magistrate, and of our peo-
pie generally to war, it could not
be averted. In the month of
April it burst in fearful reality
upon US. Thousands of the flow

GUNS USED By SOLDIERS,
D scriptlon OF the Krag -JOrgensen and the
Lee Rifles,

Since 1890 the regulation rifle of the
United States Army, supplanting the
former weapon, the Springfield rife,
has been the Krag-J orgens i magazine
rifle. 1t was adopted upon the recon-
mendation of board composed of
Lieut. Coils, r. II. Hull and ]. P. Far
ley, Maj. II. d. Freeman and Capts. s.
e. Blount and George S. Anderson.
The result of one of the tests in compe-
tition with other weapons follows:
For accurate aim the Lee showed 40
shots in two minutes, the Krag- Jorgen-
sen 3D. the Springfield No. 36 and
the Springfield No, 2 35. In the firing
at will for one minute the results were
as follows; Lee, 9s; Krag -Jorgensen,
20; Springfield No. I, "a; and Spring
field No, 2, II shots.
Upon the results of the tests, APP
proved by Gen. Schofield, the General
commanding the army, the Krag j Or
sensen was adopted. 1t has a maya
zine chamber for five cartridges, which
can be dropped by the simple pull of a
bolt. 1t is possible to load single cart.
ridges, and fire one after another, re-
serving those in the magazine for time
of need, when the five shots can be
fired without pausing to reload. The
cartridges are of an alloy of tin and
lead In a steel case. In passing through
flesh and bone, or any solid substance,
they may explode, so that q man shot
in the intestines or brain is practically
blown to pieces.
The gun the marines are armed with
is the Lee rifle, a magazine gun, with
caliber of 0. 236 inches lis range for
point-blank firing is between 600 and
700 yards. Smokeless powder is used
with it and a hardened lead bullet,
which has q copper jacket plated with
tin. The gun has a magazine for five
cartridges, which are put in atonce, be-
ing fastened together with metal
clip. The gum can be used for firing
and reloading after each shot, or the
five shots can be fred in quick success
sion, and the gun reloaded with five
more while it is at the shoulder. The
chief advantage claimed for it is that
the cartridge chamber can be opened
by straight pull and without turning
up the gun. The gun without the
bayonet is almost four feet long and
weighs eight pounds and six ounces.
The bayonet adds about eight inches
to the len 9Th and pound to Il weight
The cartridge is about three inches
long, and 1870 rounds weigh eight
pounds and six ounces.
The Mauser, which the Spanish
troops are mainly armed with, is Of
much the same construction as the Lee
bit it is declared that its effective
range is little greater. It has the
cartridge inserted in clips of FIVE, and
single ones cannot be used. The Man
ser has an ''up-turn" and "back pulp
for reloading the cartridge chamber.
