Were at Target Practice.

Washington, July 2.1-The accident
at Fortress Monroe is supposed to have
occurred in connection with the coast
artillery target practice. in which the
shore batteries fired upon a fleet of
targets towed up Hampton Roads in
such manner as to be com parable to
.battleships. The shore guns were to
be engaged in battle practice with the
moving fleet, which was towed UP
Hampton Roads about four miles out
and supposed to represent a hostile
fleet sailing up the Potomac to attack
Washington According to the plans
OF the officers the coast artillery firing
tests were to be conducted on q larger
scale than had ever been attempted
anywhere. 1t was planned to have
fve batteries OF ten and twelve-inch
guns concentrate their fire on the tar
get fleet and demolish 1t quickly as
possible. It was intended also to bring
mortars into play.
General Wood Present.
Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, chief Of
the staff Of the army. had gone to see
the tests and It was his first official in
spection OF any Of the maneuvers since
he assumed Office few days ago. A
large number Of other officers had gone
from the war department to see the
firing. The officers of the coast artil-
lery here gave as their opinion, that
the explosion was caused by the igni-
ton of charge before the breech
block had been closed, and probably
was caused by the wind blowing down
the mouth Of the gun No official re-
port has been received at the war de-
partment.
