COSTS A MILLION DOLLARS

From the New York Mail and Express.
 About three years ago an official paper of England, in describing the merits of 110-ton gun, said.-s that 1t could fire two $1 ,50o shots a minute, and that such guns would not do in America, for the reason that after an hours fighting the gunners would have to sit down and wait for an other appropriation from congress. If landsfolk were told that today the cost of shot and powder for one hours firing of the main batteries alone of, say, sixteen of our best ships, would rech the sum of nearly one million dollars, some of them would certainly doubt the accuracy of the statement. A distinguished naval officer, whose knowledge of ordnance is next in importance to that of the commandarsi,ssl :" est1ef of the sduadron now off Santiago was shown the figures from which thi
 result was derived, and he declared 1t t, | be altogether too small.

"'Mr. c. A. Boynton, General Southern Manager the Associated Press, Post Building, Washington -ss ..
 Boynton's Reply
 The reply Of the Associated Press is as follows:
 'Washington, Aug. 1, 1898 "Hon John D. Long, Secretary of the Na- "
 sir: Your favor of the 2Sth is at hand, concerning articles published in t:e New York Times and the New York Hera'd ions in regard to mines are attributed to Commodore Schley.
 "This letter was not written by either of our representatives with the squadron off Santiago, but by another gentleman who was temporarily on one of our dis patch boats The dispatch was not sub ject to censorship.
 Our MT. Graham, who has been con- stantly with Commodore Schley since his squadron assembled at Hampton Roads, and is probably more familiar with his views than any newspaper man at Santi- ago, takes issue with the gentleman who wrote the letter referred to, and says that Commodore Schley was always in complete accord with Admiral Sampson as to the question of entering the harbor. He quotes Commodore Schley as saying:
 Admiral Sampson and I had always agreed that 1t would be foolish to enter the harbor with the mines in place, and the condition of the mines proved that Ad- miral Sampson was correct Very respect fully yours, CHAS. A. BOYNTON."
