A FRENCH PLAN
Sinking a Seaworthy Ship
Just for Practice.
Cost of Fifteen Minutes Shooting
Comparison Of Drill and Actual
Battle Work.

The French navy Will not let the
Americans surpass it in sea-gunnery,
if it can prevent it. The fact, that
in order 10 test their own gunnery, an
expensive ship was used. as a target,
indicates how sincere they are in test
ing their own skill.
The gunnery experiment on Tues
day at ToulOn, when four battle-ships,
the Brennus, the Jaureguiberry, the
Charles MarJel and the GaIilee. fired
win all their heavy guns and second
airy batteries at three thousand metres
range upon the ArrOgante, an old
fashioned. steel-protected battIe-ship,
and sunk her in less than fifteen min
.utes, is the most important naval eX-
pertinent made in France for many
years. The ATrogante's interior wood
work burst into blaze, and was the i'm
mediate cause of her destruction, eX-
ships at Santiago The significance of
this gunnery practice is realized when
it is known that the French squadron
discharged five hundred prOjectiles. of
which ninety were of 131a inch calibre
The estimated cost of the ammunition
thus expended in fifteen minutes is
SIS, 900. 1t will be remembered that the
total number of projectiles fired by
Simpsons ships in the battle OF San
tiago Bay was not more than six thou
sand AS the number OF hits at Toulon
was 80 per cent, as against 8 per cent
at Santiago, French gunnery officers
say that their artillery practice is ten
times as good as that of Simpsons
men. The Toulon experiment indicates,
at least, how thoroughly in earnest the
French Admiralty now is in its deter
mination to take the lead of all ma
tons in naval artillery practice"
If the gunnery Of all the modern war
ships, under the stimulus Of the Amer
can example, becomes uniformly and
equally accurate, another departure in
warfare must take place, and the range
of the gun instead of its accuracy will
determine battles at sea. This is now,
theoretically, the method of fighting,
but the equality of accuracy is not the
rule.

JACKY GOOD BOY
Scarcely Any Increase in
Naval Court Martial.
Annual Report of Judge Advocate
guard-Recomme

One popularity of the war that has
escaped general notice was the ex-
ceedingly small number of courts-mar-
tial in the naval service. at time
when naturally it might be expected
that these courts for lapses and breach
es of discipline and regulations would
be most numerous.
In his annual report to the Secretary
of the Navy, Capt. Sam. c. Lemly.
judge advocate general, says that it is
with qualification that he invites at
tention to the fact that, notwithstand-
ing the large increase in the personnel
of the navy during the past six months.
made necessary by the war with Spain,
the number of courts-martial has not
Increased materially, and that very few
really serious attractions of order and
discipline, such as might be reasonably
expected to grow out of n state OF war,
have arisen, despite the ineXperience
and lack of familiarity with the dis
ciplinary restraints which naturally
characterized the officers and men
drawn from civil life. While this re-
suit is without doubt due in great
measure to the unusually active en-
ployment of the naval forces. it still
speaks volumes for the discipline and
efficiency or the service, says the judge
advocate general. Under the head of
prize money, the report recites the de-
cision of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT to the
effect that the money can he distribut-
ed only upon the decision of the prize
courts and after proper DEGREES have
been rendered. 1t is the absence OF
such DEGREES that has operated to pre-
vent the distribution up to this point.
Some of the recommendations made in
the report looking to the improvement
of the navy are as follows: The neces-
sity of an extension of the law. now
expired. permitting the removal of
charges of desertion still lodged against
sailors and marines who left the SER
vice at the conclusion of the last war
without waiting for formal discharges:
the creation of a retired list for the en-
listed men of the navy, as exists in the
army; the enactment Of legislation 70
compel civilian testimony before nava'
courts-martial, the allowance of deposi-
tions before such courts and finally the
change of the obsolete system of classi-
fication OF naval vessels, so as to make
it rest on tonnage instead OF on mum
Der OF guns carried.

MARINE CORPS.
Washington Starr.

One of the most unmistable lessons
of the war" is that the marine is no
longer to be despised as a cross be
tween a soldier and a sailor, as a naval
policeman, worthless save to keep the
jackies within bounds and to stand
guard on deck. The marine has come
out of this campaign with a reputation
for gallantry and good craftsmanship
which might well be envied by any
other member of any military service
in the world. Col Haywoods annual
report as commandment of the Marine
Corps relates the facts of the campaign
which have served to this end. The
work of the marines at Guantanamo
was magnificent. They conducted
themselves like true soldiers. under
dangerous fire and surrounded by
strange conditions and the threat Of
fever. They made a camp that de-
serves to be held up TO the entire army
as a model. and their services were of
the greatest value 10 the navy in es-
tablishing the first harbOr for the
United States ships on the Cuban coast.

QUICKLY GROWING NAVY.
United States Astonished at Prospect
of High Rank Among Powers.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-The re-
markable rapIdity with which the nav
al power of the United States is being
increased at the present time may be
realized when it is stated that 90 war
vessels are now under contract from
the government, their aggregate far
exceeding the vessels building at any
one time during the civil war.
This vast construction has been
gradually by Congress, I'M
til the vessels soon to be completed
will place the United States third in
rank among sea powers. In addition
to the enormous fleet. including auXili-
aries, actually in commission at the
present time, 20 vessels are in various
stages of readiness, and the shipbuild-
ers are hurriedly gathering the mate
rial for the 80 others.
OF the 80 vessels eight are of the
class of heavily armored sea-going
bauCleships, IS are torpedo boats, four
are monitors, and one is a powerful
cruiser.

ACCOUNT OF THE BATTLE,
BY Telegraph to The Argus.
New York, July 4-The New
York Herald has received from It's
correspondent at Santiago the fol
lowing details of the destruction
Of Admiral Cervera's fleet.
Tdree Of the Spanish cruisers
shat wore bottled up in Santiago
harbor and two torpedo boat de-
stroyers, were pounded into help
less hulks by the guns of Admir-
al SIMPSONS fleet on Sunday in a
vain attempt to escape from the
harbor. The vessels were beach
cd in a last effort to save as many
lives Of the crew as possible.
Admiral Cervera on baard the
Christobal Colcn, headed his feet
il the attempt to get away at
about $50 o'clock. So little we're
the Americans expecting the dash
that the flagship New York was
cruising up the coast to the east
and returned only in time to see
tie finish fight and to fire a shot
or two at the torpedo boat de-
stroyers.
The Iowa, Indiana, Oregon,
Massachusetts, Texas, Brooklyn
and the converted yacht Glouces-
ter, formerly the Corsair, formed
in position to give battle as soon
as the Colon was sighted rounding
the wreck of the Merrimac.
The American vessels did
not open fire ct once; they
waited until Ceryera's ships were
out Of the range Of Morro's guns
before giving battle. Cervera
headed 10 the west, the Colon in
the lead followed by the Vizcaya
and Cquendo and the destroyers,
al trlng rapidly.
All Of the American battleships
opened fire at once and the
Spanish were soon in a hurri~
cane Of shot and shell, but the
Colon kept on bravely till when
about ten miles westward of
Moro Castle, Admiral Cervera
turned his vessel to the shore
aud beached her. She was blaz>
ing in a score of places, but her
guns kept at work and the white
flag never showed until she was
completely disabled. The Oquens
do and the Viscaya we're opposed
to the Iowa, Texas and Indiana,
and Went down to defeat with
fearful swiftness, covering only
about half the distance made by
the Colon before their captives
ran them ashore. Their crews
fought with desperate bravery,
but their courage was no match
for the courage of our men, ad-
ded to their superb gunnery. The
Spanish shells went wild for the
most part. but the American
gun fire was marked by mercis
less precision. The two cruisers,
both on fire were beached not
more than a niie apart.
] The most dramatic feature of
the battle was the contest be-
tween the torpedo boat destroy
ers and the Gloucester. The lafs
ter was struck several times and
is the only American vessel res
ported damaged. At first the
