ARGENTINE MATTERS.
Complaint made That the Naval
Supplies Are Worthless.

NEW YORK, Aug. PA special
to the Herald from BuenOs Ayres
says: Argentine is again con-
vulsed with renewed excitement
over the affairs of the army and
navy departments. Admiral Sell
ier's letter to minister Batsa has
been made public, and is found to
contain sensational statements.
The letter says that the armor
piercing shells supplied to the
navy as coming from a maker of
world wide reputation are from
some inferior manufacturer. To
prove this admiral Seller quotes
a letter from this responible firm,
saying that it has never sold a
single shot or shell in Argentine.
He further adds that the rapid
firing cartridges translated to
Argentine from another we'll
known firm formed stock, as he be-
lieves, which had been rejected by
other buyers. The fuses of these
cartridges, the former naval chief
says, were wholly Ineffective.
The letter is regarded on all
sides as showing the need of inn
mediate and drastic reform in
several departments. The cham
Der of deputies is debating the
question.

their mules and found safety be-
hind the line of Spanish infantry
which was hastily formed to pro-
tect them. A sharp firing was

ed by the Cuban troops that it re-
quired seven days to make a jour-
ney commonly done in two.
