We DO NOT AGREE.
Uniled States Will Not Be Bound BY the
Decision Against Dunn Dunn Bullets.

Washington, July 2I-The United States
will net be bound by the reported decision
Of The Hague conference to prohibit the
use Of the dum-dum bullet in warfare
So far we have not been obliged to resort
TO the use of this bullet, but the ordnance
officers have been making experiments to
secure an increased stopping effect for
the small calibre ball used in the Krag-
Jorgensen, and these experiments have
proceeded somewhat on the lines OF the
dum-dum bullet.
Capt Crozier and the remainder of the
American delegates voted against the
proposal to prohibit the dum-dum, be-
cause their instructions forbade them to
pledge this government to any line Of ac-
ton that would retard the development
Of inventive genius in warfare. Adhesion
to the protocols is voluntary. Great Rrl-
tain, it is understood. also refused to pro
hibit the use of the dum-dum bullet.

leterious gases from balloon projectiles

pressions Of opinion, as follows:
The conference considers the limi-
tation Of the military charges which at
present Cypress the world are greatly
to be desired for the increase of ma
terial welfare Of mankind:
The conference expresses the opin-
ion that questions relative to the type
and calibre OF rifles and naval artillery,

ject Of study by the different govern
ments with a view to arriving at a
uniform solution by q future confer
ence:

tons must be separately signed, the
formula accompanying which will be de-
cided upon tomorrow.
The American delegates met, today, and
asked that the word duty in Article q
be fully defined 50 that the word may in
no case imply any obligation on the part
of the United States to interfere in Euro
pean affairs and vice versa. The discus
sion among the French delegates who
framed the article and the Americans
