SPRINGFIELD A GOOD GUN.
Government Ordnance Oaicers Are In,

ti0ninE It's Merits.

WASHINGTON. July 10.-The ordnance
officers of the army are indignant at the
statements that have appeared in the press.
some of them attributable to high army Of
ficers questioning the merits of the Spring
field rifle with which a large proportion of
the United States army is armed. These
statements they say are calculated to do
infinite harm among the volunteer forces.
though the regulars know and like the old
Springfield too well TO distrust it now. The
principal argument made against it's en-
ployment by the critics is that its short
range enable the MauSer-armed Spanish
to pick off our men long before they get
within the range of the Sprinsfelds. This is
said to be based upon error. The Spring
field has a range of thirty-four hundred
yards, which is only few hundred yards
short of the Mauser, and the formers big
500 grain bullet is said to have greater
killing power at the long ranges. The opin-
ion of some good practical soldiers as to the
respective merits of the Springfield and the
modern small bore is shown by the fact
that such able soldiers as Colonel Ray and
Colonel Schuyler. of New York. who are
organizing independent regiments. have
specially requested the war department to
supply them the former. A good deal
has been said also to the great super
iority of smokeless powder used in the
small bore over the black powder of the
Springfield, but one of the best ordnance
experts in the war department has de-
clared that there are merits in both
powders. In open fighting the smoke made
by the Springfield often serves to obscure
the marksman from a return fire while the
man armed with the smokeless weapon is

The press of all the Continental cities is
most actively discussing the prospects of
peace, propag eating various rumors to the
general effect that the negotiations are to
very little profit.
The Russian papers are very bitter
against the United States, one of them
characterizing the destruction of Admiral
Cervera's fleet as brutal slaughter, and
accusing the Americans of employing some
kind of new explosive machine or bomb,
contrary to international law.
The busiest discussion of all, so far as
America is concerned, occupies the German
papers. Their tone is much milder since
Ambassador Whites Fourth of July speech
at LEIPZIG. but the papers are unable to re-
frain from the belittling criticisms of the
American army.
The National Zeitung, however. publishes
a serious and interesting article on the
naval aspects of the war, and draws the
conclusion that the Importance of machin-
cry has been fully demonstrated. 1t says
THE Spaniards were decimated by the
