A BATTLESHIP.
Forward Turret hit, but the Result is

Special Gable Despatch to THE SUN.
PARIS, Aug. iS.-The experiments to
ascertain the effects OF actual lombard
ment on modern warships began here to-
day when the battleship Massena fired a
shot at the forward turret OF the Sudern,
which is said to be the finest cruiser in
the French navy. After firing three trial
shots at improvised targets which had
been erected aboard the Sufern the Mas
sena sent a fourth shot directly at the turret,
which it struck. The turret apparently
stood the test well.
The Massena took position at O'Clock
this morning 100 yards from the Suflren.
Torpedo boats kept the neighboring sea
clear Of vessels. The drums on both war
ships beat TO quarters at o'clock. and few
minutes later the flag Of M. Pelletan, Min
lister Of Marine. was hosted on the Mas
sena, showing that he was aboard.
The first projectile that was fired passed
over the Suffren and struck the rocks on
the other side Of the bay. raising huge
cloud of stones and dust. The second shot
was directed against special target fixed
just above where the turret Of the Suffren
was to be hit. The shell passed through
the target and buried itself in cliff beyond.
The range having thus been obtained
the big gun was trained against the turret
itself. A flash from the gun was seen,
dull report of the discharge was heard,
and almost Immediately a heavy thud
caused by the projectile hitting the turret.
The shell rebounded and burst into frag-
ments about hundred yards from the
Suffren. All that the watchers ashore
could see was large black blotch spread
over the central turret.
The actual damage done will not be re-
vealed, every precaution having been taken
to keep It secret The Suffren will 90 to
sea on Thursday to ascertain il it is possible
to Use the turret.
II is said that NJ. Pelletan did not be-
lieve that the mountings and bearings OF
the Suffren's turrets were strong and heavy
enough to stand the impact OF lz-inch
shell.
He expected that the shock would dis
arrange the electric mechanism by which
the turret is worked and prevent II being
moved for firing the guns from it. Whether
this is 80 or not the Suffren's next gun
practice will show.
Dispatches from Paris few days ago
said that during these tests sheep were to be
imprisoned in the turret to test the inten-
sity of the shock.
