at Nmitl»(o.
Wasiiikotosi, Oct. 24,—The board of
officer* of tlie ordnance department di
rected to inquire into tlio condition*
of the Spanish small arms captured at
Santiago lias made it* report. The
Umrd find* that the Spanish arms con
sist of two patterns, the Spanish
Mauser of seven millimeter or .24 cali
ber and the Turkish Mauser of 7.6')
millimeter caliber. The cartridges of
these arms are. of course, not inter
changeable. There i* only a small
percentage of the hitler arm, how
ever, not enough to tuke into consider
ation the subject of restoring theta for
use in the army.
Of the Spanish Mausers, it was
found that ai>out three-fourths of them
could be utilised by taking parts of
tiic remainder anil supplying de
ficiencies in the best anna. This would
make, at a rough estimate, 7,<mh) Mau
sers available for use in the army. No
decision lias been reached as to the
feasibility of Introducing them into
the American army and it is possible
that for the present they will bo held
to await an emergency.

Thus far there have been seven Joint

ANOTHER YEAR FOR CANAL
Tlie Maritime Com ji,tny'« roncrailon Does
Not Kiplra Until October, 1890.
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, 138',,
was granted by the Nicaraguan gov
ernment to tlie Maritime canal com
pany of Nicaragua, chartered by the
United States government.
The commissioners were asked to
lceep their decision secret from every
one except President Seyala and the
cabinet ministers, but it has leaked
out. The couuaisaioners decided that
the contract expires October 20, 1899.
This accords with an official act of
October 8, 1889, declaring that tlie ten
years within which the company
bound itself to complete the canal
ended October 20, 1899. That act was
signed and agreed to ofllcially by the
Nicaragua!) minister of public works.

T’auis, Oct 21.—The Spanish peace
commission wan unable to meet the
United State* peace commission in the
joint session yesterday, and the next
session of the two commissions has
been fixed for Friday next.
Judge Day, president of the Ameri
can commission, read a communication
from Senor Montero Hlos, president of
tile Spanish commission, saying that
udvicew expected but not received from
Madrid made it necessary for hitnscif
and colleagues to request a postpone
ment of any further conferences until
Friday next. A courteous reply was
returned by Secretary Monro in behalf
of the American commissioners grant
ing an extension of the time of the
next meeting ar requested.
The assigned mason for delay is be
lieved to have been to allow an inter
change of communications witli Mad
drid and to formulate a final attitude
on the Cuban matter. Tills attitude
of the Spaniards, to be developed on
Friday, will lie watched with no little
interest. Their alternatives are few,
but pregnant. They may accede to
the American attitude, themselves as
sume the Cuban debt and go forward
to consider the next protocol point of
Porto Rico, and the choice by the
United States of an island in the La
drone group; or they inay at this junc
ture formally astc for urbitration, or
as an extremity, which is not likely,
may retire from further negotiations.
The tone, during the last four days,
of tiie Spanish and French press is sig
nificant of widened confidences by the
Spanish as to the attitude they have
assumed in the negotiations here and
the recurring assurances of Spain’s de
sire for arbitration may have bail a
meaning. The Spaniards may not
have sought to promote sympathy, but
had they desired to lay down a basis
upon which to set up a plea to Kurope
to prevent what it is sought to present
as her ravishment, the surface indica
tions could not have iteen more favor
ably disposed for that purpose than
they have been.
Surgrona Scored.
Jacksonvu.uk, Fla., Oct. 21 —The
war investigating commission held its
sessions iu the city hall yesterday, ex
amining a large number of regimental
and other officers. One of the most
outspoken witnesses of tho duy was
Dr. Frye of the Third division hos
pital. He condemned some of the
methods In vogue in the hospitals and
said that in many cases the contract
physicians and members of the hos
pital corps wero incompetent.
Dr. Frye spoke in very uncompli
mentary terms of the men engaged in
the hospital corps, saying they had
been picked up at random over the
country and were “generally a scabby
looking lot," not fit to udoru any walk
of life. He also spoke deprecatingly
of the contract surgeons, saying that
lie would not be willing to trust his
family or friends to 50 per cent of
them.
"Many of them,” he said, “are re
cent graduates from medical institu
tions, and I do not consider the aver
age medical graduate capable of taking
charge of from twcnty-tive to fifty
typhoid fever cases."
General Lawtou Arrives.
Kkw Yokk, Oct. 21.—Hrigadier Gen
eral H. YV. Lawton of the military
department of Eastern < uba. arrived
in this city yesterday, accompanied by
his aides. The general, who hns been
granted a leavo of absence for sixty
days on account of ill he.alth, looked
fairly well, and said that the voyage
had done him a great deal of good.
Speaking of the condition of affairs
in Santiago and other portions of East
ern Cuba, Gencrul Lawton said: "The
general situation is good, and General
Wood, who is now in charge, is rush
ing the sanitary work to completion as
fast as possible. Tho people down
there claim that in the history of San
tiago the city was never so clean as at
the present time. Husincss is reviving
also and confidence among business
men is almost completely restored.
Capitalists are now investing money.
Tho people have accepted the United
States government with the utmost
confidence
