4HE SPANISH WEAPONS
Ordnance Officials Are Wondering
What o D5 With Them.
! CORRECTION q ELlos



Washington. July I9-Ihe ordnanee
officials OF the war department are
considering what 70 dc with the large
quantity OF arms. ammunltion, lortI1
cation guns and ordnance stores which
have come into the possession OF this
government through the aul lsender Of
Santiago.
General Shafter reports that about
p GOO 11auser rifles were turned over
the first day and the number viii
reach probably 10000 when the troops
at other points In the surrendered
zone turn fn their guns
The reports made before the surren-
der indicated that the Mausers han-
died by the Spanish troops were not
in very good condition. The guns
were all right when furnished but the
the volunteers, left many of them
rusty and defective.
Ordnance officials believe. however,
that the greater part of the guns can
be put in hrst-class order. The Maui
ser has a calibre of miIimeters, or
2 7-6 OF an inch. while the American
gun has caliber of q of an inch. This
difference In calibre makes it impos-
sible to use American ammunition in
the captured guns.
The surrender also covers a large
stock of ammunition, rife halls, etc..
of the caliber suitable for the Mausers,
so that when the guns are repaired
there VIII be an ample stock of cart
ridges to use in them.
The ordinance bureau is considering
only what shall be done with the guns
If they are utilized by this government
as it has nothing to do with the larger
question concerning the ultimate re-
turn of the guns to the Spanish troops.
This is a general question of govern
mental policy, but it appears to be
pretty well settled that the guns Will
not be returned to Span1ards. at least
until the war is over.
The ordnance officers expect to make
very little use of the old Fertilization
guns mounted in MORO castle. Sacopa,
Cayo Smith and other forts along San-
tiago harbor.
These. it has developed since the
capture, are guns o. antiquated pat
tern, most of them muzzle leaders It
is said they would not be worth bring
ing back to the United States. except
as souvenirs of the fall of Santiago
For the present they probably will
be retained at the forts, for since they
have proved sufficiently effective TO
make showing against the American
can fleet, they viii sufhce for the pres
ent passive condition of affairs.
