ssTo the first four questions the Cab
met consider that it is not in keeping
with public policy that the quantities q,
arms now in possession of the GoverH
ment should be made known.
sThe military committee has had acS
cess to all sources OF information in this
and kindred subjects, and if they should
! consider it advisable to lay these mat
ters before the House they will doubtless
do so in their report.
Sin regard to question 5, nothing was
taken that the Ministry have any know
ledge of.
''In reply to question g.: In accord
ance with the provisions OF Chapter
| XIV. of Session Laws of 1888, they are
subject to the orders, and under the gen.
eral provision and control of the Minister
of Foreign Affairs. 1t is not deemed ex-
pedient for the public welfare that the
actual places of deposit or storage should
be publicly made known.
''In reply to question z: The uniform
is not in the possession of His Majesty's
Government but in that of His italian
Majesty's government. On 21st October,
1889, the late Minister of Foreign Affairs
received a dispatch from F. A. Schaefer,
Esq, Italian Consul in this city, stating
that he had received a dispatch from H.
l. Us Minister of Foreign Affairs, in
which His Excellency refers to Robert
Wilcox in the following words:
'The royal Minister of War COM
municates to me in regard to Robert
Wilcox, that the same was admitted in
1885 into the Royal School of Artillery
with the authorization to wear the uni !
form of sub-lieutenant of artillery of the
Royal Exercitio. Such authorization
was naturally to cease with the return of
Wilcox to his own country, having fin
ished his studies and not belonging to
the Exercitio Italiano he had no right to
put on said uniform. You will please
inform H. 81 Ms Government of the
foregoing and you may keep the seques-
tered uniform of Wilcox in deposit at the
Royal Consulate.
''The Consul then requested the as
sistance of His Majesty's Government to :
carry out the instructions of the Italian
government. The ex-Minister of Foreign
Affairs, after consultation with his col
leagues, handed to Consul Schaeier the
uniform, and the Department of Foreign
Affairs hold the receipt for the same
under the Consul for Italy's signature
and the Royal Consulate seal dated Nov.
), 1889.
SIN regard to the sword, the only
record in the Department that refers to
It is in report made by Col V. V. Ash
ord, in which. while referring to the
of Mr.. Wilcox to him on July
30, 1889, he says, Il noticed he wore a
military uniform, sash and sword, also a
revolver and cartridge belt. These latter
ne handed to me. On March 10, 1890,
Mr.. Wilcox was notified by Mr.. Austin
hat the sword had never been in this
Department.
