ORDNANCE FIGHT ENDED.
SECRETARY ROOT APPROVES DlSAP-
FEARING GUN CARRIAGES.
THE ACTION TAKEN BITTERLY OPPOSED By
GENERAL MILES

GENERAL MILES
Washington oct 30-Secretary Root has ap-
proved recommendations that the disappearing
gun carriage he used in connection Win gums u
six-ircb calibre as well as with those of larger
bore This action marks the close OF conteh-
tfon lasting many months among the fortlhca-
tiop authorities of the War Department The
carriage N he used is largely the design of Gen
eraI Crozier the present chief of the Ordnance
Bureau. Its adoption was bitterly antasonized
by General Miles. head Of the Board OF ora
nance and Fortifcatons. Congress at ltS IasI
session bacause of these differences authorized
the annointn1ent of a special board to pass on
the merits OF the invention. That board recon-
mended the use of the carriage. in the discretion
Of the Secretary of War. for guns exceeding six
inches in calibre, but suggested that the use OF
the carriage for guns of six inches or less be
suspended
This suggestion has recently been again under
consideration by the Board of Ordnance and
Fortifcations and in the absence of General
Miles the board has agreed to recommend that
the line should be drawn below the six-inch gun
rather than above it; that the Secretary exer-
else the same discretion with reference TO II
that he exercises with reference TO guns or
higher cabre. and that the carriage should not

inches In reaching this conclusion the board Is

effectiveness of the siX-inch gun In fortlhcatloh
defence and 10 have decided that modern in
vention has advanced il 10 the point OF a pri-
mary gun not leaving il. as some authorities
have been disposed TO think. weapon OF see
undarv Importance. The board suggested, now
eyer that no guns of smaller Calibre should be
mounted on the Crozier carriage. The recon-
mendation as it went to the Secretary carried
with il "A suggestion that not only should the
present appropriation be utilized for mounting
these guns on disappearing carriages, but that
the estimates for next year should include pro-
vision for such work. The SeCretary's indorse-
ment however. was given only for the use of
the money in hand General Gillespie. chief Of
engineers, who is the acting head OF the board
Of Ordnance and FOrtifiCatiOns. has been
strong advocate of the use of the carriage for
the six-inch gun. and It's adoption is largely due
To this iusstenCe.

and r " Poster Of the botanical station at
Lagos West Africa. accompanied by guides
visited the Souffriere volcano on October -, and
spent an hour and half on the summit
The Tarty found the crater to be active. IL was
emitting volumes OF steam and throwing up
numerous cones OF ashes from the fssure close
under the southern wall to a height Of forty
feet. During the last half hour OF the explorers
stay the crater became violent Mr.. Powell,
who, from his frequent visits. is well acquainted
with the features OF the mountain, is satisfied
that the new crater shows no signs Of having
been in eruption. The old crater has become
more funnel shaped than formerly. and Is now
deepest in its centre Volcanic ejecta, almost
red hot and smoking profusely, has been heaped
up around the interior walls of the crater 10 d
height of several hundred feet The rim OF The
crater is considerably wider than ii was, ana
the depression on the western rim, overlooking
Mome Ronde. has been much lowered.
In the centre OF The crater Is caldron OF
boiling water. and close IN under the southern
wall is located the hssuTe. from which large
volumes OF steam and ashes seen to emerge
This steam and ashes follow the trend Of the
depression under The southeastern wall anu
gaining the summit Of the volcano, are blown
% the westward, thus giving the appearance
u having come from the new crater. The party
found lava.
The confguUatioh OF the mountain has been
considerably altered. The sea is still Gncroach-
ing upon the land the Wallibou estate. The
Wallihou River is dry at its mouth but far in
land il is running with fair volume in the small
channels
There was a slight eruption Of La Souhriere
the night Of October -. when. at sl5 O'Clock,
loud groaning sounds were heard and cloud ~
dark vapor thrown out. These disturbances
have continued, and are causing much excite
ment at Georgetown, where earth tremors are
continually felt. From the general appearance
of the volcano another eruption OF serious
nature can be expected.

Georgetown district on October a6. He has ad.
Nlsed the Governor Of the WtndWard Islands. Sil
Robert Llewelyn, thar il is advisable perma.
