ENGLISH GUNS DEFECTIVE.
Heavy Guns ON British BattleHhip'
said TO BE Practically
worthless.

London, May 2.-The Daily Graphic
this morning, citing as confirmation
Of It's allegation that the heavy guns
Of the British battleships are practic-
ally worthless, the news from Hong
kong that the 12-inch guns on the
Ocean and Vengeance will have to
be replaced speedily, returns to the
charge against the admiralty and
gives a list Of 10 first-class battleships
all of which have had to send for re-
pairs for one or more guns. The Daily
Graphic says: "Since the total reserve
Of guns for ships is only one apiece,
the whole reserve must at the present
moment be either utilized or bespok-
en-"
The paper further declares that the
inefflciency of these guns has been
known to the admiralty for six months
past and to all the admiralty Of the
world for six weeks, whilst the navy
estimates have made no provision for
replacing defective ornaments.

the Providence hospital here Friday
night from an attack Of apoplexy which
he suffered early Friday morning on a
train while en- route from Boston to
Washington. After Gen. Lee had been
removed to the hospital this morning
it was evident to the attending physi-
clans that his case was a very serious
one, but they believed that his strong
vitality and will power would assist
materially in a partial recovery at least
from the attack. His condition re-
