AR NOR STANDS
A SEVERE TEST

WASHINGTON, April 6.-The result
of the tests at Indian Head proving
grounds yesterday. the purpose of
which was to determine the resisting
power of warships to the different
types of shells which may be hurled
against them in time of action, was
satisfactory to the officers of the navy
and army who witnessed them. as is
shown by the following statement given
out to-day at the bureau of ordnance
of the Navy Department:
AN interesting test took place at the
naval proving ground at Indian Head
yesterday in the presence of a large
number of officers of the navy and
in all details section of one of the
armored cruisers Of the Tennessee class
was attacked by shells fired from six
inch and eight-inch guns with the same
striking velocities which these shells
would have had if fired in service at
ranges OF 200, 5000, 1000 and $500 yards
Some OF these shells were loaded with
black powder and some with high ex-
plosive.
The object of the test was to deter
mine the resisting power of sthe ships
to the different types of shells by which
they would be attacked in action.
1.-The result was very satisfactory, in
dicating that these ships may be ex-
pected to stand up well against the
guns of any ships to which they will
naturally be opposed. At the end of the
test the target. although considerably
damaged locally, was intact so far as
its structural element was concerned"
