At 9 O'Clock this morning a steamer ar

nearing the Delaware found that the pas
sengers had been driven from the steamer
by the flames and were floating on the
surface of a calm sea In small boats and

up soon afterwards and took aboard the
rest OF the endangered persons. One boat

Nv than II was had our guns been fired

ly than II was had our guns been fired
with smokeless powder. As IL was. in
the mad race and swift succession IF
shots fired at the Spanish ships, our
vessels were so enveloped in the smoke
of their own guns that many a hot
went wild that otherwise would have
struck home.
Inquiry at the ordnance bureau of
the navy department as to the pros
poets of our warships being supplied
with smokeless powder elected the in
formation that there IL no probability
of this being done, generally, for a
considerable time.
Commodore O'Neil, chief Of the ord
nance bureau. said the bureau had
placed very large orders with private
manufacturers for smokeless powder
for the use of the fleet n that large
consignments of it were being received
and forwarded to the ships at Santiago.
1t YOU take a long time, however,
the commodore said, to supply all the
ships, and in view of the quantity NJ
ammunition to be used there it would
be difficult, with the present facilities
for manufacturing the powder In this
country. to keep them supplied. He
was not prepared to hold out the hope
that the navy would be able to use
smokeless powder generally at an early
date.
The cruisers New orleans n Mar
blehead are supplied with the inn
proved powder, but the other vessels
of the fleet are still stocked to a large
extent with black powder.
1t appears that the chief reason the
navy was not supplied with smokeless
| powder at the beginning of the war
was that its ordnance experts were
not satisfied with the powder used by
other nations and were experimenting
IA - ~1n.1or Of fhair W which had
not been perfected at the time the war
began.
A powder of American Invention has
( been made by the navy on an expert
mental scale which is believed to be
superior to thai made abroad.

Washington, July 9.-Attention has
been directed to the range of the guns
on our ships, for on this depends
whether the bo~mbardment VIII be con-
fined TO The outer forts or whether II Will

are five battleships and two armored

n srmored cruisers New York and

three battleships and two armored cruis-
ers combined have 26 huge 13-inch, IL
inch and S-inch guns, which have a
range of 10 or IL miles on an acute ele-
walton and a range of over six miles
on the elevation which can be given
in turrets. This is an elevation which
can clear MORO castle and the harbor
batteries and can about reach the city
of Santiago. The maximum elevation
on shipboard is II degrees, which linn
its the full range Of the heavy guns

guns above mentioned that have a range
that could get anywhere near the city,
as six-pounders and under have a range
of not over three or four miles, while
