odd Accidents Ia Guns.

One Of the strangcsr accidents which
ever happened to the big guns Of a
battlcFhip recently alarmed the gun
ncrs in the turct Of the English bat
tlcship Thundorcr OF Milford Haven
"A target was put ont for practice with
the ten-inch brocchloading guns.
When one was fired by electricity only
a portion Of the projeCtilc was dis
charged the base plate OF the shot and
a portion Of the frame being left In
the gun. When the plate was removed
the pressure Of gas forced a portion
Of the projcCtilC from the brecCh Of
the gun On the second gun being
arcd "A hole about three inches In diam.
cter was blown through the prOjeCtile,
the other part Of the base plate being
left behind, The base plate was in
this case separated from the rest OF
the projcctile, Such accidents are be-
lieycd never previously to have ocCurr-
ed on board any ship. There was
much alarm among those In the tur-
ret, as the bursting OF the guns was
for a time feared. II Is suggested that
either the powder in the projectilss
was damp or there was water In the
guns. So far as can be seen. buth
guns are sound.

Some months ago letters were

HGUINHLDO is f. CAPTIVE.

Last January from his hiding
place in the province of isabella,
Aguiualdo wrote letters condemn
ing IN the ScVcrcSt terms the sub
chiefs who had taken the oath of
allegiance to the United States
Later the Filipino Commaudcr-in-
Chief ordered the insurgcnt forces
in Southern Luzon to Join him at
Il rendezvous in Isabella province.
The rebel officers intrustcd with
these orders traitorouSly ncgOtiat-
ed with the Americans, aud the
bold scheme of Gen. Funston was
the outcome Of the information
CLEANED from these officers.
When all necessary information
had been secured. the intrcpid
kanSan, in company with Surgeon
Maj. Harris, Capt. Newton, Lieut..
Mitchell, Lieut. Admire, six vet
cran scouts and company of ma
tive scouts, all picked men, en-
harked ON tn" NickShurg and were
landed on remote beach above

1t was arranged that Aguinaldo's
cmiSsarY, with the native scouts,
should pass themselves off rs in
surgcntS who, having captured
Gen. Funston and others, were
taking them aSprisoncrS to Aguin-
aldo. At the right time, when
brought before the Commandcr-in-
Chief of the FiIipinos, Gen. Funs-
ton was to give signal, and Ag-
uinaldo was to be seized.
The Americans, knowing the
character Of the men with whom
they were dealing, feared that
some trcachcry would be attempt
ed, and the troops in the New VIZ

were TO cooperate with Gen. Fun
