ALL ON BOARD WERE WELL.

Horta, Azores, March 10.-TheI
Etruria anchored here at 6 o'clock last

had been carried away by the pro

minutes after the accident She stood
by until daylight, when, after several
attempts, she succeeded in passing a
hawser aboard the Etruria- The tank
steamer Ottawa arrived on the scene
at this time. The William Cliff ther
attempted TO tow the Etruria, while
the Ottawa attempted to steer her
The hawser, however, snapped. The

tempt was made to use it. Afte
further efforts lasting for two days

justed and is still in position.
The passengers of the Etruria weI
satisfied that they were in no DANCE

themselves with the usual deck sport
and concerts were held in the fir

vehemently, TO be standing up with a
smile on my face and waiting for young
man who fails 10 come. l do not mind
going to dinners and very small dances,
perhaps where I have a fair chance. but
no more balls for me. thank you" 1t
seems that nice attractive girls are left
out of dances by the dozens this winter.
and the consequence is that they go TO
them il II We're to their executions.
Certainly. Il must be very humiliatipg to
be placed in such a position at a big dance.
and many mournful maidens declare that
unless they have partners for every dance
beforehand, which few of them ever have,
such is their predicament. 1T isn't as il

TEST OF THE GATHMAN GUN.
Report of Special Board on the In
yentor's Appeal

The Secretary of War today sent to Com
gress a supplemental report of the special
army board appointed to conduct a test
of the Gathman gun, ordered by special di-
rectlon Of Congress- In it's original report,
previously submitted to Congress, the board
gave detailed account of the test and
reported that the gun was not so well
adapted to the use Of the army as other
guns already in service. The inventor of
and appealed to the Secretary of War for
relief. The report was sent to the board of
ordnance and Notifications for considera-
tion and report, and that board indorsed
the findings of the special board in the
matter of the test and also submitted the
reports of artillery officers who witnessed
the test in support of their conclusions
The inventor then submitted a memorial
to show that the special board had not
properly judged the test and erred in sup
posing that the purpose Of the gun was to
destroy the target by explosive effect,
whereas 1t was claimed that. the object was
to damage the target maiAy by the force
of impact. 1t was claimed, Furthermore,
that the damage sustained by the target
by the impact alone was sufficient to have
force was not an essential requirement to
that end.
The board spent some timS in considering
the memorial and reported 10 the Secretary
that it contained nothing - cause a change
of the opinion expressed in the original re-
port. 1t was this last report that Secretary
Root sent to Congress today. His letter Of
transmission was purely formal and made
no comment on the subject at all.
