FILIPINOs' BRASS BULLETs.
Not as Dangerous As They Have
Been Represented to he.
From tha Palt;voora c,,,


Washington, March 27.-Medlcai officers
Of the army are not disturbed by the re-
port that brass-tipped bullets are exten-
sively used by the insurgents at Manila.
There is a popular belief not substantiated
by medical experience, that wounds pro-
duced by such bullets cause gangrene and
death in a majority of cases. 1t is said by
the doctors that while the brass of the
bullet has a tendency to tear and enlarge
a wound, experience shows that 1t does
not affect the wound seriously. BuNets COW
cred with grease are much more liable to
cause serious danger, on account of the
germs that may adhere to them and the
dirt they gather.
Several medical officers said to-day that
while it was not considered a civilized
method of warfare TO use any bullets that
would unduly enlarge a wound, there was
no difference between what is known as
the Dum-Dum bullet and the brass-covered
one. The Dum-Dum is a bullet with an end
of soft lead, which mushrooms" or
spreads on hitting, eniarging the surface
of entrance and causing the flesh to be
torn and bruised. Such bullets are not re-
garded with favor, yet they are used in
the British service. The United States
army has also been considering the advis-
ability of adopting softer lead for the pur-
pose or causing the mIshrooming effect
The practice of poisoning bullets was
never recognized by any nation as legiti-
mate, and met with favor only among the
tribes of Africa, but the brass bullet has
for years been employed by insurgents in
the Philippines and Cuba, with the sane
tion and approval, 1t is said OF the 81
peTior officials. The Dum-Duin bullet is
used because the .albre of modem rifles
has been reduced 10 such an extent that a
small buEet will pierre a man and stiIl
not incapacitate him from service unless
some vital part is hurt.
II has b zen leaLned from reports received
by the war department that the brass-cov-
cred bullets used by the Fhipinos are all
of the 43 Remington calibre a type of rife
used by Spain as the national small arm
until the adoption of the Mauser some
years ago, when the old Remingtons We're
shipped TO the colonies and for years the
soldiery of the Philippines and Cuba were
armed with them. A large number of the
Philippine insurgents are equipped with
this type of gun. although they have also
thousands of Mausers,
The brass covered bullet was used tn
limited extent by the Spanish troops who
attacked the marines at Guantanamo bav
Cuba, and caused, at the time, an innpres.
sion that the dead had been mutilafed. A
report was sent by Admiral Sampson 10
this effect. but he withdrew il later after
an investigation by surgeons.

sTIRs UP WAR DEPARTMENT.
Deep Interest Caused By Action of
Nebraskans.

Washington, May I2.-No dispatch re-
ceived recently from Manila has been
received with deeper interest at the
war department than that which was
sent by the Associated Press via Hong
king. War department officials and
upon the subject, but the comment gen
orally among army officers was that
the troops which had been fighting so
long and continuously are exhausted.
and would be really in need of rest.
1t was explained the men did not fear
fighting. but constant picket and con-
stant marching no doubt much ex-
hausted them. Some army officers sug-
gested the action of the Nebraskans
as like a town meeting, and that an
army could not be conducted upon such
lines. Comment was made to the eff
feet that the dispatches indicated var
jous regiments We're on duty constant
ly, and that there was no reserve TO
relieve them when they reached the
limit of endurance.
1t was stated by an officer in the de-
partment that one reason why it had
been impossible TO relieve the Volun-
teers with the regulars now at Manila.
was because the regulars recently sent
TO the Philippines were at least two
thirds recruits, and were necessarily
unframed and lacked the discipline of
the volunteers, who are now veterans
1t is believed General Otis does not care
TO risk the hard lighting to untried
men. and that he desires the volunteers
to remain at the front because he is
sure of them in any emergency.

Professor Langley Scars With His
Flying Machine.

Langley, secretary of the Smithsonian
institute, the inventor of the aerodrome.
who was given $4,000 by the board of
ordnance TO experiment with his fly
ing machine for war purposes. made his
first test at QuanticO, Va, yesterday.
Professor Langley, with the amount
of money placed at his disposal, built
a new and larger machine than that
with which he experimental two years
ago. The machine was launched from
the top of a houseboat anchored in a
broad sweep OF the Potomac, about
ee-quarteTs of mile from the island
owned by the Quantico Rod and Gun
club. The results we're not so sue

The machine scared aloft to height
of 500 feet, but descended after a hoT-
izontal flight of 500 feet. His former
machine, which was propelled by a
small steam engine, flew three-quarters
of a mile and only descended when the
steam was exhausted. 1t was under
stood Professor Langley was to over
come the limited power capacity of the
former machine by the use of con-
densing engine, which could repeatedly
utilize the condensed steam from the
boiler.

such man were shot and pitched over

would die instantly even if the ball didn' t

jury on the part of the prosecution. His
arguments in reviewing the evidence were
very strong.
The jury must remember, he said, that
he, as prosecuting attorney, is always

r. II. Jones commenced his opening ad-
dress for the defense at 11:45. his chief
point being that defendant had not COM
