HARD TO HIT.
At Two Thousand Yards
a Cruiser
Looks Like
a Postage Stamp.
From the Uoston .Iouiii.il.
.
One of tho things which naval ex
pel ts hope will be thoroughly settled
by the Spanish-American war Is the
degree of accuracy obtained In modem
naval gunnery In actual warfare. It
It said that, although the art of the
gunmnker has been for yeais pitted
against that of the aunor manufne
tuier, the gieatost difficulty expeil
enced at sea Is not the piercing of the
enemy's aimor plate, but the hitting of
the ship at all.
The main trouble, naval office! s sny,
Is that in aiming the big guns only a
voiy minute nloture of the ship aimed
at can be xtcti Ptofessor Alger, of
the United States Naval War college
at New pint recentlj declared that nt
a convenient fighting distance a ship
of the size of the Indiana appears to
be about one Inch long. This, ho ad
ded, was tho case when the ship was
looked at under ordinary conditions.
In iictual warfaie, however, this plc
tme would be considerably lessened by
tho fact that the man who aimed the
gun would have to pay quite as much
attention to the alignment of his sight
ns he would to the position of his tai
get, und that ho would have to do all
these thlngb at the same time.
Naval authorities say that tho recent
occunences at the bombaidmont of
Matanzds bear out these statements.
It Is noticed that, although tho battle
ships had no difficulty whatever In hit
ting the forts, not one of the numerous
shots tiled fiom the shore hit n boat.
Voiy much the bame condition was cn
countcied nt the bombardment of
Alexandria by tho IJritlt-h fleet In the
e.uly eighties In that case the ves
sels were at anchor in smooth water,
and their targets wero good big ones.
Although the lange was shoit, the dam
age done by the foits was Insignificant,
Anothei thing which It Is hoped will
be cleared up thoioughly Is the exact
utility of the fust unarmorcd cruiser
In buttle. Theoretically It Is Intended
to aim these boats with a multitude of
machlen guns carrying small-caliber
bullets. The file from those Is to be
directed un every porthole, conning
tower slot or apoitute in the gun shields
that can be mudo out from the decks
ot the bout It Is believed that the lite
fiom one of these bonts will be so
searching and withering that all tho
ollleeis In the conning tower will bo
killed and that the crews of the guns
will be bo decimated that the ship at
tacked by one of these modern splt
liies will be put out of action In five
minutes.
Tlieitf are opponents to this theoiy,
however, and they say that, fust as un
until mot eel cruiser may be able to
go, i modem shell can tiavel faster.
They cist doubt upon the ability of the
unuimored cruiser to turn loose tho
hall stoun of lead with which she is
credited, and tleclaie that one shot
fiom u big gun on a modern battle
bhlp will put the unarmorcd ciulscr
both out of action and out of existence.
