OFF TO SIBERIA Russian Political Priso-
 ners Banished. FORTRESS IS EMPTY Famous Prison Which Has Struck Terror to Hearts of Wrong Doers--Home of Many
 Executions.

St Petersburg, Feb 13-Five famous political prisoners, the last inmates of the Schlusselburg fortress, were taken from their cells last night and sent to Siberia to serve the remainder of their sentences. They were Karpovich, who killed Minister of Education Bogaleff in 1901 for forcibly enrolling student demonstrators in the army: Gershun- in and Melnikoff, accomplices ill the assassination of Interior Minister Sip iaguine and organizers of the fighting organization of the special revolu- ti0nists: Sasoneff. the murderer of In- terior Minister Von Plehve, and bis accomplice. Sekarsky. The sentences have been materially ameliorated by the emperor's amnesty decree of N0- vember last. The drowning strong hold. the easements of which since the reign of Catherine H, when the authors Radischeff and Novikoff were for their liberal ideas, have always harbored political prison CTS and within which most of the eX- cautions of the terrorists of late years have occurred. is now empty, and the keepers have been disbanded. But the walls will be left standing as q show place.

CRUISER TENNESSEE
Made Good Showing in Tester. days Trial, Making
 22.16 Knots.

Boston, Feb 13.-The new armored cruiser Tennessee made an unofficial speed of p. .16 knots on her speed trial yesterday, according to the report of one of the trial board, the members of which were landed in this city after midnight and left on an early train for Washington. There was a slight acci- dent in course of the trial which was repaired, but which resulted in a delay of several hours. The speed shown is .16 of knot in excess of the contract requirements.
 The accident comprised the dropping out of one of the ''brasses'' of the crank pin of the main engine. It occurred after the vessel had been going nearly two hours and 1t not only caused de lay of about six hours but necessitated a second start. The cruiser was then given the full four hours test, finish ing just before 9 o'clock. She ran into Boston light to transfer the trial board to a tug and proceeded to Philadelphia.
 The Tennessee started on her trial off Rockland, Me, at $50 a. m. yester- day, with all conditions favorable. Fos an hour and three-quarters the cruiser continued on her course and it was seen that she was doing splendidly.
 At 1915 o'clock quick signal from the engine room indicated that an ac- cident had happened. After the ship had been stopped. examination by the engineers showed that the trouble was with crank pin and that though slight had thrown the main engine out of gear. Repairs were begun and a. 4:30 D. m. the cruiser made another start. The mishap apparently did not affect her subsequent speed unfavora- bly,. The engineers figures show that the Tennessee averaged 12S revolutions a minute on the trial. On her screw standardization test Sunday of Rock land, Me, the government board ascer- tained that 126.3 revolutions a minute was necessary to reach the contract speed.
 The trial board was in charge of Ad- miral Charles H. Stockton.

cRozlER's TESTIMONY
He Says the New Field Csa is lss Mueh Better . Thas the Old One.

Washington, Feb 13.-General Croz- fer, chief of the ordinance department, has given testimony before sub-com- mittee of the house committee on ap- propriations in explanation of his esti- mate for the field guns adopted two years ago. The new gun" so he said, "is not very much more powerful than the old one. It Is of little smaller calibre. nevertheless firing a little heavier projectile. The principa. difference in the carriage is that for the new gun 1t permits very long re- coil of the gun upon the carriage on discharge. This recoil is sometimes over three feet. For this reason the action of the gun upon the carriage in the recoil Is very gentle and the car riage is, not displaced nor is any time lost in retaining the gun. Instead of firing one or two rounds minute, as was possible with the old gun. the new gun will be ready to fire fifteen times in one minute"
 The general hopes to supply the army with 25O batteries of those guns. that is at rate of two guns per 1000 men for an army of 500,00O, which he says is a very moderate estimate. Thus far, he said. the committee had appro- priated enough for sixty-nine such bat teries of four guns each, of which thir- ty-five batteries have been of the regu- lar army and the reserve and thirty four have been for the use of the mili- tia. At the present rate the supply will be completed in 1919.
