TEST OF FIELD GUNS.
Important Trial to Take Place q
Sandy Hook Soon.

Washington April Interpretations
are being made for quite an extensive
and important test Of field guns at San
dy Hook some time in May. At present
the army is not well equipped with field
guns, compared with other nations ara
the war department wishes to obtain
the very best guns possible for the
equipment of this important branch Of
the service. The tests at Sandy Hook

of Lieutenant General Miles command

The board not only will test such
guns as may Je presented by manufac-
turers and inventors but it IS expected
that the new gun modelled on the plan of
French field guns and constructed un-

The plans for this gun were obtained Nv
an army officer who was sent abroad
last summer and who claimed to have
secured complete details of this gun,
which artillery experts have asserted is
the best in +he world. The mechanism
of this gun has been concealed and its
secret carefully guarded by the French
government. The report that the Uni
ted States army had obtained the plans
Of the French gun caused considerable
comment at the time it was made pub
lie and since then the procedure of the
department with reference to the gun
have been watched with interest by ord

has not guarded more carefully the me-
chanism of its gun than its board Of
ordnance have the making of the new
field gun which is expected to be tested

Document Submitted to Cuban Con-
Nentinn Subsequently Chnnged.

Inside information concerning the action
or the Cuban convention on the Plat
amendment has just been received in
Washington. 1t appears that the first
draft of the amendment, as interpreted by
the majority Of the committee on relations
with the United States. was submitted TO
General Wood and by him sent to Wash
ington.
This draft was not An extensive docu-
ment and was approved by Secretary Root
and his approval was made known to the
Cuban convention. But when the matter
came up for discussion, 1t was found that
there were a number of delegates whose
votes could only be obtained by the extend
ed alterations. amendments and interpre-
tations. which finally were adopted by the
convention and rejected by Secretary Root
II is stated officially that the people Of
Cuba believed at first that the PIatt
amendment had been adopted, and that
they were satisfied. Such was the belief
OF the people of the United States until
the draft of the adopted amendment was
received here. The belief is expressed in
official circles here that the Cuban people
as whole are perfectly satisfied with the
Platt amendment, and that 1t will finally
be adopted.

The natives have voted a tax for the pay
ment Of their officials and for other ex-
penses Of the native government. It Is paid
in copra, and the rate Is about 81 per head
for every inhabitant. This. says Comman-

the least burdensome to the natives. The
abundant copra crop Of the islands Is now
being harvested and shipped. and Comman-
tives realize fair prices for it-something
very unusual in the past.
Commander Tflley reports everything in
the Island Of Tutuila in very satisfac-
tory state and the condition Of the Aba
