Ordnance officers in Washington review regimental reports from the Philippines on smokeless powder rifles. Reports tend to exaggerate bursting incidents, with injuries hard to quantify. Estimates show 6 to 10 percent useless in some regiments, but only three of 14 090 rifles accounted for. Col. McGinniss reports firing an old rifle 1,000 times with smokeless powder to test it.
