NEW YORK. Noveber lib—So Ier- ioua was the accident to the battleship Alabama during her recent target prac- tice off the Virginia capes it was learn- ed yesterday that the vans] in in prac- tloally the same condition it would be bull it been through a great battle. Previously it has been admitted only that one iii-Inch gun ‘had been dis- Ibled by the premature explosion of a illiell and that a few plates had buck- ed. As a matter of fact both the 18-inch guns in the forward turret have had their rifting so badly damaged that they cannot be used. Decks have been torn up where the big guns have been fired over them. Sections of the main battery of 6-inch guns have been run- dered unsafe for the gun crews by the loosening of belts that'held the gun carriages to the decks, and" in at least one case the ship has developed a structural weakness through the recoil of the guns in the main superstructure. Though every effort has been made to belittle the damage done to the ship, it is conceded in naval circles that the disabling of two out of four 13-inch guns. the impairment of the mounts of at least four of the fourteen flinch guns and the establishment of the South Norwolk Store. fact that the ship' I magazine is full of A bag of clean oats is equal to considerable more than a bag of dirty oats handled without care.

Deck beams have been buckled un~ der the strain put upon' them by the premature explosion of shells in the flinch guns and extensive repairs of the fillp itself will have to be made To remedy this defect application has been made to the department at Wash- ington for the installation of extensive suports for the main gun deck, and workmen are now hastening to com 'plete the repairs. Experts from the Washington Gun Foundry have been called upon to rem- edy the damage, and more than a month‘s work and many thousands of dollars will have to be spent to make good the effects of the low shots that were fired in peaceful exercise of the great guns. When the guns are built the rifling is the last part to be made. The gun ls placed in front of a huge lathe and the boring is done carefully and very slowly. But the new appliance being tried aboard the Alabama the machinery is being taken to the gun instead of the. gun to Lilo machinery. In this way the expence of removal is saved. instead of the gun itself be- ing turned against a fixed boring ma- chine, the gun is held fixed and the borer is to be turned. The experiment is a new one. If successful it mea'ns that. speedy repairs can be made to any big gun that may be disabled. Irrespective of the loca- tion of the shop the work can go on. The Alabama is at present in dry dock and the machinery for the repair of the 13-inch guns arrived yesterday. The ship will not be kept in the yard all that time. but will take part in the speed trials planned by the navy lie pertinent to be held in the week begin- ning November 20. in Chesapeake Bay. During all this time the work of boring out. the old. pieces of the injured rifling will be continued. ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS. .
