New York, June i6.-The United States

oay night with her three giant guns. Tho
army and navy men are talking about her
as reyerently as II she were something SUI
pernatural. Citizens generally comgare
her with Ericsson's monitor ana she Is a
hundred times more destructive.
DeBorden Wilmot is the representative of

the United States sitter she had undergone
a series of severe tests.

From all have read about Mondays trial
with three shells am convinced that she
has not shown half OF her ability.
What can she do? She can drop 500
pounds Of nitro gelatine nearly two miles
with accuracy. She can repeat this feat
fifteen times in ten minutes. That means
three and three-quarter tons OF high ex-
plosives thrown on the enemys ships or
forts or whatever the object OF attack NAV
be. The destructive power Of such broad.

the Vesuvius must he tremendous.
by way Of illustration, let me tell you
one fact. The dynamite cruiser Nictheroy
