A BIG GUN EXPLODES
EIGHT ARTlLLERYMEN KILLED WHILE MAKING A TEST AT
 FORT MONROE.
TEN OTHER MEN ARE MISSING
Gen. Wood, the Chief of Staff, and Other High Officers of the Army Were Present and Witnessed tho Accident.

Fort Monroe, Va, July 22.-Elghi artillerymen are known to have been killed and ten are missing as the re suit of the blowing out of the gun breech in Battery De Haussy at Fort Monroe. The identified dead:
 Sergeant Harry Hoss. gun com mander; Corporal Bradford gun pointer; Privates A. J. Sullivan, Duff foy, King and Adkins.
 The dead artilerymen were attached to the Sixty-ninth Company.
 High Officers Present.
 The accident occurred at 10: 40 o'clock The bodies of the artillery men were terribly mangled. The wounded were rushed to the fort hos. pital
 The disaster was witnessed by a number of widely known officers of the army and navy who were here to see the battle practice The wives and children of several of the men killed were present and saw them meet @ terrible death.
 The accident took place in connec- ton with the cast artillery target prac tice, in which shore batteries fired upon a fleet of targets lowed up Hamp- ton Roads In such manner as to be comparable to battle ships.
 The shore guns were engaged in bat tie practice with the moving fleet which was lowed about four miles out and was supposed to represent a hos tile fleet sailing up the Potomoc to attack Washington.
 Firing Tests on Large Scale.
 According to plans of officers of the coast artillery, the firing tests were to be conducted on a larger scale than had ever been attempted anywhere It was planned to have five batteries of ten and twelve-inch guns concen- trate their fire on the target fleet and demolish 1t as quickly as possible. It was intended also to bring the nor tars into play. Ships of the coast ar fIllery were to tow the targets. Each arget was thirty feet high and sixty feet long and represented section of a battle ship.
 Thirty officers, who recently have been graduated from the artillery school at Fortress Monroe were in charge of the tests.
 Maj Gen Leonard Wood, chief of staff of the army. came here to see the tests. and 1t was his first official inspection of any maneuvres since he assumed his new office few days ago. A large number of other officers came from the war department to see the firing. Among them were Brig. Gen. William Crozier, chief of ordin- ance; Brig. Gen. James B. Aleshire, quartermaster general; Brig. Gen. William L. Bixby. the new chief of en- gineers. and many officers of the gen. eral staff
 Caused by Bareback.
 officers of the coast artillery here gave as their opinion, unofEicially, that the explosion was caused by the igni. ton of the charge before the breech block had been closed and probably was caused by the wind blowing into the mouth of the gun.
