THEY CAN'T BE USED.
Captured Spanish Ordnance Of No
Practical Use to Us.
Our Ammunition VIII Not Fit Guns,
which Also Are Not of the
Most Modern Type
of Weapon.

There has been some speculation as
TO what disposition the navy depart
ment will make of the modern guns cap
tured from Spain during the recent war.
1t has been generally understood that
the obsolete ordnance would figure
only as souvenirs for distribution By
the government to states and munich
palities, but there was quite number
of serviceable modern cannon, mostly
naval guns captured at Santiago, Ma
Mia and elsewhere. 1t is stated by the
department that these guns are not
likely to form a very valuable asset.
The 4.7-inch guns from the Maria
Teresa, the Niscaya and the Colon, sew
eral of which are now at the Washing
ton navy yard, are not the most mod
ern type of this weapon. They are diff
ferent in caliber from any gun of the
American navy, except those of the
New Orleans and the Albany, now be-
ing completed abroad. The six-inch
quick-fire guns captured also require
special ammunition, not being adapted
TO our six-inch shells, so that, except
in case of accident 10 one of the guns
of the New Orleans or Albany, there
would be small likelihood of getting
any of the captured ordnance into serv-
ice. The question of boring out the
captured guns to the next higher cal
iber was considered, but rejected as
reducing too greatly the factor Of
safety.
There is on hand quite a supply Of
ammunition for the peculiar armament
of our two adopted cruisers, and 1t is
thought by the time this is used up this
country will be in position to supply
them with all of the sort of ammunition
they need.
1t Is interesting to note that the new
guns being planned for the navy will
conform in certain material respects
TO those Of the New Orleans, which was
classed by all the officers who saw her
in action during the war as a marvel
lousy quick-firing, hard-shooting piece
Of naval architecture. Her guns are all
$50 caiibers long" that is, the barrel is
so times the length of the diameter of
the bore Our standard has been 40
calibers, but the longer gun seems TO
bear about the same relation 10 the
shorter as the As caliber rifle does to
the revolver of the same bore. 1t is
this popularity Of the barrel guns that
develops their remarkable muzzle We
iocfty Of something like $500 feet. The
new guns planned for our navy are ex-
pected to develop about 1000 feet We
locity. II is expected that this new
type of the six-inch uuiek-frer, with
its additional penetrating power, will
make 1t an even more terrible weapon
than that demonstrated itself to be iii
our two memorable actions with the
Spanish lkets.

DECLARED CONTAGIOUS.
New York Board of Health Makes
Important Decision Regard
ing Grip.

The New York board of health has de-
cided that grip is contagious disease.
The heads of the department met to
discuss the prevalent trouble and they
agreed unanimously that it could be
communicated from one person to an
other.
They pronounced il both contagious
and infectious. and Medical Commits
sioner Cosby said that, in his opinion, it
was as contagious as scarlet fever, al
though by no means so dangerous.
The following bulletin was issued By
the health board in relation to the sub
ject:
Influenza is an infectious and CON
tagious disease, due to the influenza
bacillus. In cases of influenza or grip
this organism is present in all the Sc
cretions Of the nose, throat and bron-
chial tubes. The disease is transmit
ted from person to person through the
taking in Of these organisms, either
from direct contact or after the secre-
tions have been dried and pulverized,
and inhaled in the form of dust.
"The disease cannot be produced by
any other causes than the influenza
bacillus.
There are many catarrhal affections
of the respiratory tract which are i'm
properly called grip, and the distinc-
ton between these and true grip Is
sometimes difficult and often impossi-
bic in the milder forms. Grip, however,
Is a much more serious atfiiction, pro-
duces much greater depression, and is
