HAVANA'S ARMAMENT.
Description of City's Defenses Re
ceived at Washington.

New York, Oct. ia dispatch tc
the Herald from Washington says:
The war department has received a de-
tailed description OF the Notifications
Of Havana. Besides old guns. there are
43 new guns. These guns are principal
ly of the Hontoria and OrdoneZ pat
tern, but there are a few Krupps
among them.
The strength of the Spanish garrison
in Havana is estimated at 100000, about
evenly divided between volunteers and
regulars. This strength could have
been increased at any time by calling
provincial troops to Havana.
The exact number of arms in Havana
is not known, but the armament on
hand in depots, artillery parks and
stores of all divisions of the army of
the island of Cuba is: Mauser rifles and
carbines, 131 ,015; Remington rifles. 49,
574; of private guerillas, 14,000 Total,
2S2. $50. Out of this number, only 80, 900
are believed to be new. OF cartridges,
there are 100000.
Great ingenuity has ben displayed in
the construction of sunken masked bat
teries. Closely underlying much of the
soil in the vicinity of Havana is coral
rock, easily eXcavated. Trenches are
cut into it and from short distances
