NAVAL GUN PRACTICE.
Training That Won the Fights at
 Manila and Santiago.

Washington, Aug. 6.-The marvellous accuracy of fire shown by the Ameri- can war vessels in the fight off Santi- ago is attributed by ordnance officers here to the careful training of the men behind the guns during the last year and the large amount of target prac- times since the regulations were is sued during the cruise of the north At lantic squadron twelve months ago. Until then little attention had been given to great gun target fire compared with the constant work performed un- til just prior to the Mainesdisaster. On the Pacific coast the naval ships de- voted little time to it, chiefly because few of the modern vessels were sta toned there, and on the Asiatic sta tion, where the navy maintained a strong squadron since the war between China and Japan, few rounds were fired from the heavier guns except at the regular quarterly practice. More target practice has been done by the service in the last year than during any previous period of the same length in the history of the new navy, and more money has been expended on powder and shell fired at some little floating target made of a pole and Icanvas than Germany and Russia com bined spent for the same purpose in a like time. While American sailors have always been regarded as the finest marksmen with guns of any type among the navies of the world, the or dnance officers have claimed that ac- curacy of fire could be gained only by liberal expenditure of ammunition, and the wisdom of this view has been shown, so they say, in the results ob- tained especially in the vastly super for shooting of the American ships over these of Admiral Cervera
 Target practice at sea is conducted now in practically the same way that it was when the guns had less than two miles effective range and were of the old smoth bore, muzzle loading type. The targets employed vary not a bit from those at which the Consti- tuition and Constellation banged away years ago. Then the targets were hit possibly once in a dozen shots, while now the 6-inch rapid-fre and the eights. tens and twelves of the new navy frequently knock away the slen- der pole to which is made fast the tri- angular piece of canvas that forms the object of attack.
 Two kinds of target practice are re- quired of all vessels of the navy, sea practice and record practice. Sea practice is carried on six times each wear and record practice once. Every vessel is required to carry out these instructions. This refers to normal times, for inlt past year there has been three times the amount of target practice called. This was because the government anticipated trouble with Spain, and the policy of the navy de- partment was to perfect each ship and its crew with the handling of guns, so

FIXING RESPONSIBILITY.
Labor Leaders Arrested on Charge of
 Conspiracy.

Oshkosh, Wis, Aug 6.-The sash and door manufacturers have tried to fix the responsibility for the labor riots here. Warrants were issued to- day for w. A. Kidd, secretary of the National WoodworkerS' union, and George Senter and Milo Trober, two local leaders. Complaint was made by Nathan Paine of the Paine Lumber company, and the charge is conspiracy to maliciously injure the company by terrifying its employees by means of threats and abuse. Kidd and Senter were arrested and given an immediate hearing before Judge Foss in the mu- nicipal court. The trial was set for August 12. Secretary Kidd threatens retaliatory suit for damages. Every thing is quiet here today and the mills are running with small non-union crews. Seventy-five special police have been appointed.

that If the occasion arrived when they
 had to shoot at the enemy they could
 do it as well as the gunners before
 them had done. For purposes of sea
 practice a regulation target, anchored
 or not, or any suitable mark not small
 CT than regulation target, may be
 used The practice is conducted either
 on or of soundings, as the captain
 may elect, but generally ships pro
 ceed we'll out to sea and beyond the
 lane taken by coasters. Target prac-
 tice may range between 800 yards and
 5000 yards or even higher, but is sell
 dom beyond 5000 yards, and it is re- |quired that the speed o. the ship shall
 not be less than eight knots when her
 batteries are opening fire. Last year
 the north Atlantic fleet was put through target practice on the south |ern drill grounds off the Virginia capes for several weeks. Some of the best records were made by the Texas,
 which did notable firing in her chase of the Spanish vessels
 Sea practice is intended to simulate as nearly as practicable the conditions of actual battle, and the work of ob- serving the fall of shots is not allowed to interfere unduly with a spirited and
 continuous fire. It is especially pro- vided by the navy department that
 every condition that would be likely to exist in actual battle shall be pres
 ent during target practice The ships are stripped, battle matches are down,
 and sometimes forced draught is put on in order to simulate a chase, dur ling which the batteries of some vessel are opened at the little target At night there is frequently target prac- tice with the aid of searchlights, but this is required only once a year. At two sea practices annually the ship is cleared for action, and the men stationed as in actual battle, with nec- essary officers, aids, and quartermas- ters in coming tower, and all other lis supplied in the manner that would actually be necessary in battle, and, lexcept in case of emergency, orders are given by the means that would be em ployed in battle
 Inducements are offered by the de- partment to enlisted men to become expert gunners in the shape of two classes of prizes, one a first prize of SlO and the other a second prize of $5 For every twenty-five men who take part in the quarterly target firing the commanding officer may award one first prize and one second prize provided that the prizes shall be awarded to none but those whose rec ord places them in the higher classes for craftsmanship. No sailor can re- ceive more than one prize in year In proportion to the extent of the navy the United States are said by ord nance officers to spend more money annually on target practice than any other service. Great Britain devotes a great deal of attention to it, but Frsnce and Germany give compara- lively little. The Spanish have never spent much time at tarket practice because, their officers said, 'it was simply throwing money in the sea" They went on the theory that when the time arrived for them to shoot they would prove that they knew well how to handle the guns.
