New Yoiik, Mar. 3. There is a con
tinuance of unwonted activity at the
New York arsonul. Tho shipping of
thells and othoi projectiles, to the forti
fications about the harbor continue. At
army headquarters there are no new do
velopeniunls, and no orders out ot the
Ordinary routine tire expected. It is
uid that a battery of twenty 12-inch
mortars will bo soon received at gundy
Hook for testing before they are forward
ed to the places for which they are des
tined. Thoro are a number of unarmored
tuns at the proving-grounds awaiting
the construction of curriugi'H. The hup-'
Ply of ammunition lias been increased
in all the inugazinos, and is so arranged
that it can bo made immediately avail
able. The men at tho post seem much more
Pleated at the work tlioy have to do
than when the guns lay idle and in a
wedition unlit for active uso. At Sandy
Htok, howuver, there is a slight com
print among the men, who cay that too

Swift replied that is was not, and that
when it was divided up among the sev
eral BinpB moy would not lmvo more
than thu usual compliment in their
mnga.incH. Muny of the projectiles are
for guns of large caliber.
As yet no information has been re
ceived as to what disposition of the guns
which have recently been shipped to tho
yard from Washington. These guns are
of different si7.es, and as neither the
Chicago nor the Atlantu, which ate be
ing overhauled at the yard, will be ready
to receive guns for at least six months,
it is rumored that they are for auxiliary
VUHHuls.
