the three Americans-Jos. c. Scarter VIM.
Carney and D.. A. More-who were ar
rested during the latter part of January
by Mexican officials on the charge of
smuggling horses over the border, and who
were imprisoned at Ensenada, seems from
all accounts to be in a more unsettled
state than ever. Hon. w. w. Bowers
brought the matter before tne State De-
partrlent with the result that the men,
after examination, were ordered released,
their stock returned to them with per-
mission to use their own discretion about
returning to United States territory with
their possessions. The men, however, give
an entirely different version of the result of
their trial, stating that they were still
virtually prisoners. their stock being with
held and they themselves forbidden to
quit Mexican territory. They claim local
officers are using discretionary proceedings
not warranted by the government orders
and ask the State Department to give their
case immediate consideration.

DEFECTS IN THE NEW ARMY RIFLE

FURIOUS TO THE MEN.

IT is REPORTED TO BE INACCURATE AND IN
FURIOUS TO THE MEN.
Washington Dec 2s.-According to general orders
Just issued by Brieader General Wheaton, the
newly adopted magazine Army rife has not met
expectations In the Department Of the Colorado.
The official report Of the departmental inspector Of
small arms practice for the target year 1896 says
that the records showed a uniform loss In the
average per cent from the previous year. when the
old rife was used, the loss increasing with the dis
lance and amounting in the case Of the 7th In
fantry to 1O1 per cent at 200 yards l2 at 800 yards
17.S at 500 yards and 273 at 600 yards only few
expert marksmen attempting the sO-yard range.
The inspector reports that the company COM
manders are almost unanimous to the rifles in
accuracy He says:
The principal defects reported are that beyond
the 3co-yard range 1t shoots too high and to the
left the bullet is easily DETECTED by the wind the
hits vary after the NTH or sixth shot, when the
barrel becomes heated; the metal OF the bolt and
cha mber is too soft causing the bolt to jam where
it cannot be opened without cooking the piece and
weak and will scarcely keep the gate shut; the
magazine cutoff is easily pulled out and lost; the
and hinge bar to magazine are constantly break
ing; the head of the ramrod is too large for clean
ing purposes. and the necessity Of keeping the bolt
well fabricated in order to insure its working
much injury f5 TO the b coss of he
and curved is recommended In Its stead; 1t is
very very soft and Wears rapidly The greatest fault
found with the new arm however, Is the absence
OF the wind-gauge and automatic drift correction
on the rear sight Without commenting on the
merits or dement's of this weapon | am of the
opinion that the defects referred to should be
edied before any arms OF this pattern are
issued to the service.
The repor, also mentions that numerous com
plants have been made OF the msnre OF cart
ridges. which In some cases Is attributable TO weak
springs and also to the fact that sometimes the
head OF the primer is set TOO deep In the Shell. II
was also reported that in several instances gas
