NAVAL ORDNANCE BUREAU.

Washington, Oct. l9.--The annual re-
port Of Captain O'Neil. chief of ord
nance, TO the secretary OF the navy re-
counts the accomplishments of the
bureau before and during the war. He
says that the guns and mounts in SER
vice were severely tested, and IL is graft
fying TO note that their performance
has been satisfactory.
1T is said in the report that electricity
has demonstrated its superiority to
every other form Of power for the man
ipulation Of turrets, hosting ammuni-
tion and operating machinery. The
guns so operated can be more speedily
and accurately laid on the object to be
hit. There is no danger from bursting
pipes, nor is the temperature raised as
With steam. Altogether the advantages
enumerated In favor OF electricity are
regarded as Overwhelmingly demon
strated by the experience Of the bureau
with the ships ii has already fitted up
with electrical plants for gun work.
The captain notes with satisfaction
that in no case has there been any at
tempt at extortion on the part Of the
numerous business concerns with which
the bureau has dealt; nor any disposi-
tion shown TO take advantage of the un-
usual needs Of the government.
As one of the lessons OF the war Cap
tain Omen says: While heavy guns in
turrets must be regarded as one of the
chief characteristics of modern battle
ships, the lessons of the day indicate
that the greatest execution against the
heaviest armor may be expected from
q number OF quick firing guns of smaller
caliber mounted separately in armored
easements or in a redoubt." He recites
the weight OF the big guns, making them
slow TO fire and aim, the heat and re-
stricted quarters in turrets and the lack
of ventilation as arguments in favor of
the smaller gun mounted as he suggests.
