forces In the Philippines have -been fighting for more than a yenr without n single piece of tho new artillery nnd without a single pound of high explo sive Were the rebels of Luzon armed ns nro the Boers with rnpld tiro artil lery from the continental gun facto ries It would linrdly bo possible to put thu Insurrection down without terrible losses of life snys the New York Sun Fortunately for General Otis Agul naldos army is even worsu off thnn our own nnd tho vigilance of the blockade of Philippine liorts precludes the possibility of the rebels strengthen ing their artillery On the other hand the new secretary of war intends to provide General Otis with nn ndequnto artillery and ho alrendy has on the Pacific coast bound for Manila the first shipment of new field guns nnd high explosives When Secrctnry Hoot entered tho wnr department there were 17 bnt tcrtcs of artillery In the Philippines but of these 17 all but five were fight ing ns Infantry with small arms Only five bntterics bnd Held artillery Four of these five hnd the heavy old 32 Inch slow firing guus which In the opinion of nrttllerists nre as Inferior to the new rnpld fire guns as are flint lock muskets to Krng Jorgensens The re maining battery hnd Ilotchklss guns given to the government by John Jncob Astor General Otis himself who the nrtlllery officers sny went to Manila believing that the infantry wns little In need of a heavy support of nrtlllery cabled to Washington that the heavy old field guns were Inadequate The exact condition of the nrtlllery In the Philippines wns made the subject of n spocinl report to the new secretary of war when he bogau his work He nssured nrmy officers who pointed out to him the wenkness of the nrtlllery equipment thnt the president wanted to put down tho Insurrection speedily nnd that the artillery would be strengthened nt once Withlu a month of the dny he be came secretary of war Mr Root came up from Washington with General Miles to witness some testa of new ordnance at Sandy Hook A few days before this Lieutenant Buckey of the Third artillery who had been ordered to the Philippines was directed to go to Woolwich arsenal and from there to Paris and Amsterdam to Investigate the use of mountain bntteries in India nnd Africa One of the guns tested at Sandy Hook wns a new Vlckers Maxim mountain gun purchased lu England by the board of ordnance nnd fortifica tion Iu the opinion of the ordnance experts at the proving ground this was just the gun needed In the Philippines and Secretary Root accepted their ver dict Red tape was slashed A cable gram wns sent thnt night to Licutennnt Buckey who hnd Just nrrlved In Eng land telling him to buy a dozen of the mountain guns at once Mr Root Baw the guns were needed and the first thing to do was to buy them The two batteries of English moun tain guns will soon be nt Hongkong American artillerymen who hnve seen this type of gun fired at Saudy Hook sny thnt It Is one of tho most perfect pieces of ordnance ever mounted nt tho proving ground Tho English French German nnd Russian armies have been equipped with this now rapid fire artillery for several years while our own army has been strug gling along with heavy slow firing field guns European armies have gone ahead while our own has been at a standstill In this respect American nrtlllerlsts and gunmakers have plend ed for the nrtlllery nssertlng whnt no body denies thnt the United Stntes could lend In guumnklng if It hnd a fnlr chnnce to go ahead But obstruc tions have been plnced In the wny of tho development of Amerlcnn ord nance Secrctnry Root it Is known in Washington hns quickly grnsped the situation nnd ns he is in n posi tion to denl with the question with out prejudice artillerymen believe that the new bend of tho war department will speedily remove some of the chief obstructions to ordunnce progress This English mountain gun Is ouly ouo of the ninny types of the new nr tlllery but a comparison of it with the corresponding Amerlcnn gun will show how fnr the United Stntes is behind Tho other dny It wns nnnounced lu Washington that the ordunnce burenu would ship to Manila twenty two 12 pounder mountain guns This Is the 12 pounder Ilotchklss a fine gun In its day but now a back number It Is the best gun of Its kind In our army how ever The Imported mountain gun fires a 12 pound shell but its bore Is the same ns thnt of the notchklss three Inches The Ilotchklss uses a 14 ounce charge of brown powder the Vlckers Maxim 10 ounces of smoke less powder Consequently while the muzzle velocity of the old gun Is 870 foot seconds the smokeless powder gun develops 1700 foot seconds nenrly twice ns grent A doubling of velocity menus a tremendous Increase In ener gy The American gun at Its best de velops a muzzle energy of 03 foot tons while the English guns muzzle energy Is 2504 foot tons nenrly as grent ns thnt developed by the heavy field guns now In tho Plilllnnlnes Rapidity of fire Is one of the great I features of tho new nrtlllery This Is attained by the use of fixed ammuni tion n quick noting breech mechanism nnd special devices for Inking up the recoil The Ilotchklss mountuln gun uses fixed ammunition but Its breech Is an old one aud It kicks back like nn old blunderbuss The Vlckers Maxim gun sent to the Philippines hns nil of the new devices for Increasing the vpeed of fire nnd It Is possible to deliv er with It 20 high explosive shells n minute Ten shells n minute Is Its nor mal cnpnclty on the field of battle Tho old Ilotchklss does well to fire one nlmed shell n minute for It hns to be brought back Into battery and reulnied after each firing General Otis nn hns been snld 1ms four bntteries of the a2 Inch guus nnd nine more bntteries nre being shipped to him Brigadier General Flnglcr In his Inst report as chief of ordunnce said of this piece At the time the present 32 Inch field gun wns designed and Introduced into service some 15 years ngo It was thought to meet nil essential requirements and was proved to be lu fact fully equal to the best field gun extant nt Hint period Since that time however the Introduction of smokeless powder nnd some Improve ments In the construction of tho gnu nnd Its currlnge have made It practica ble to Increase the power nnd efficiency of this piece without sacrificing req uisite mobility Ever since the European armies be gan discarding their old fleldpleces our ordnance burenu hns been trying to mnke a modern gun out of the old 32 Inch gun but while our nrmy Is still using this antiquated gun all the great armies of Europe have the new nrtll lery The Vlckers Maxim 3 Inch field gun develops a muazlc velocity of 2700 foot beconds a muzzle energy of 032 foot tons and fires from 10 to 20 high explosive shells a minute Tho best gun we have In the Philippines although of a Blightly greater caliber develops a velocity of only 1085 foot seconds a muzzle energy of only 2057 foot tons nnd does well if it fires ouo shell a min ute A muzzle loader of 1801 compares better with our present army field gun than does tho latter with the new artil lery we got from England With the English guus now on the Pacific are shells of all kinds includ ing shrapnel and high explosive shells There Isut a high explosive shell In the Philippines today The shrapnel projectile the same as the British are using In South Africa will be a terror to the rebels In tho Philippines The shell is filled with nearly 300 lead balls When the shell Is fired Its fuse Is so timed as to explode the shell just In front of the enemy The bullets shoot forwnrd a leaden rnln A dozen of these shrnpuel shells bursting over nu enemys position In a minute Is something more than half civilized fighters can stand One of the batteries sent to
