tery and notwithstanding the fact that

CAPTURED 7,000 MAUSERS ,
A Report on the Spanish miles Taken
at Santiago.
WASHINGTON , Oct. 24. The board of
officers of the ordnance department di
rected to inquire into the conditions
of the Spanish small arms captured at
Santiago has made its report The
board finds that the Spanish arms con
sist of two patterns , the Spanish
Mauser of seven millimeter or .28 cali
ber and the Turkish Mauser of 7.63
millimeter caliber. The cartridges of
these arms are , of course , not inter
changeable. There is only a small
percentage of the latter arm , how
ever , not enough to take into consider
ation the subject of restoring there , for
use in the army.
Of the Spanish Mausers , it was
found that about three-fourths of them
could be atiljzad by taking parts of
the remainder and supplying de
ficiencies in the bebt arms. This would
make , at a rough estimate , 7,000 Mau
sers available for use in the army. No
decision has been reached as to the
feasibility of introducing them into
the American army and it is possible
that for the present they will be held
to await an emergency.
NOW ALASKA IS EXPANDING ,
Surveyors Have Found 3,500 Square
Miles of Additional Territory.
WASHINGTON , Oc. 24. The discovery
Df 2,500 square miles of additional ter
ritory of the United States on the
Alaskan coast and of a new channel
for Yukon bound vessels , which will
minimize distance , time and danger ,
is officially reported to Superin
tendent Pritchett of the coast and
geodetic survey by John F. Pratt , the
assistant in charge of the expedition
which has been working in these
waters. What the expansion of our
Alaskan territory is due to is not
known. There is a , possibility of
accretion and constant outward growth
of the land since the first charts were
made , but the better opinion is that it
is due to previous inaccurate charts.
Mr. Pratt's work is the first regular
and reliable survey of the region. The
finding of the new channel will effect
a saving of about 400 or 500 miles in
reaching the Yukon.

HAVE DONE NOTHING1 YET
Seven FrnltleH * Se Ioa < of Peace Con
m tax Inn * Amorlcin * Standing Firm.
PABIS , Oct. 24. The joint session o
the peace commission yesterday lastec
from 2 p. in. to 4:30 p. m. During thii
time the commissioners discussed th <
second series of written arguments pui
forward by the Spaniards for the pur
pose of prevailing upon the Americai
commissioners to assume the Cubai
debt. No definite conclusion wai
reached and the commissioners ad
journed until Monday , when the Cubai
question will again bcj discussed. I
is probable that this feature of th <
negotiations will be disposed of nexi
week.
Thus far there have been seven joint
sessions , four of which ha'va been de
voted to the discussion of the first ar
ticle of the protocol. In this munnei
two weeks have passed and no result
has been reached. The American com
missioners have listened to all the ar

Porto Klcaiis Dissatisfied.
.IUAN , Oct. 24. Considerable
political excitement prevails here , ow
ing to the fact that Munoz Rivera
president of the recent autonomist
council of secretaries ; Scnor Blanco ,
seci-etary of the treasury ; Senor Lo
pez , secretary of justice , and Senoi
Carbonnel , secretary of the interior ,
all elected last March on the autono
mist platform , are continued by Majoi
General Brooke in their respective of
fices. Their political opponents sug
gest public demonstrations against
such continuance.
Investigation by the American au
thorities , however , has led to the con
clusion that they are all men of excel
lent standing , and that their retention
in office will be the best way to pre
serve tranquility in the insular ad
ministration until such time as the
United States congress can take action
regarding Porto Rico.

paign promises to be prolonged.

ment will not admit it.

miralty has ordered every seagoing
warship to have its crew made up tc
the full complement , as is ordered ir
case of mobilization. Four torpedc

be fitted with new water tube boilers ,
have had their orders countermanded
and have been instructed to redraw
their stores.
Officers on leave of absence or un
employed have been notified to hold
themselves in readiness to commission
the reserve ships if required.
The excitement over the Fashoda
question led an Irishman to smash
with an Umbrella a window of the
office of Punch on Fleet street this
morning. The cartoon depicting John
Bull threatening a French organ-
grinder had aroused the Irishman. He
shouted "Vive la France" as he broke
the window. He was arrested , and
when asked if he was a Frenchman
said : "No. I'm -Irishman. . Had I
been a Frenchman I would have blown
up the place. * '

tine for the Kaiser's Visit
CONSTANTINOPLE , Oct. 24. The zeal
of the sultan of Turkey to renovate
every town in Palestine through
which Emperor William shall pass has

blue and its floors have been laid with
colored tiles. Resides this , the build
ing has been inclosed with a gaudy
fence , while a superb iron screen over
a dome of rock , dating back to the
days of the crusaders , has been coated
with yellow paint.
ANOTHER YEAR FOR CANAL
The Maritime Company's Concession Docs
Not Expire Until October , 1899.
MANAGUA. Nicaragua. Oct. 1. The
contention of the American company
regarding its canal concession of the
government of Nicaragua is sustained.
A commission of the Nicaraguan su
preme court met here September 19 by
order of President Seyala , to decide on
the date of expiration of the conces
sion to construct a canal across Nica
ragua. The concession , ratified by the
Nicaraguan congress April 20 , 338' ,
was granted by the Nicaraguau gov
ernment to the Maritime canal com
pany of Nicaragua , chartered by the
United States government.
The commissioners were asked to
keep their decision secret from every
one except Prusfdent Seyala and the
cabinet ministers , but it has leaked
out. The commissioners decided that
the contract expires October 'JO , 1S99.
This accords with an official act of
October 8 , 1889 , declaring that the ten
years within which the company
bound itself to complete the canal
ended October 20 , 1899. That act was
signed and agreed to officially by the
Nicaraguan minister of public works.
EVERYBODY SLOW IN MANILA ,
Vn Army Ofllcer "Writes About the Troops
in the Philippine Capital.
WASHINGTON , Oct. 24. A private let-
, er has been received from an officer
n Manila giving some features of the
condition of the army in Manila. It
was written some time ago when
there were 17,000 troops at Manila.
At that time there were about
dOl sick in hospital. The climate
makes exertion very difficult and
every one is slow. The troops are
scattered about the city in companies
and hold all the streets to keep out the
nsurgents. Since the rain , ceased
warm weather has been very oppres
sive and sickness increased. Typhoid ,
lysentery and malaria have prevailed ,
mt not more so than one should expect
n the tropics. The letter says that
General Otis works too hard , person
ally loking into every detail of the
army.

question whether IJutler was agent
for the borrower , or for the loaner , is
raised.
