Of War.
WATERFOWL ARSENAL OF LITTLE USE
Major Reilly, the Commander, Says the
Plant Would BE Ineffective In Case
of War-Thinks We Should Pre-
pare For Trouble with Spain.

BOSTON. Jan. 29.-The Herald this
morning publishes an account of the
present state of the Watertown arsenal,
in which it appears that that branch Of
the war department, unless its re-
sources are at once Increased, would be
Of little use in case of a war with
Spain.
The present capacity Of the plant is,
roughly estimated, 30 carriages a year.
This has been the capacity for several
years. Within three months it could
not be increased. AS a matter Of fact,
the reserve usefulness Of Watertown
arsenal today Is almost nothing. There
are no reserve supplies of modern pow
der and shell-nothing out at Water
town ready for immediate delivery.
There is no supply of equipment or inn
plements of war--no timber or iron or
steel for emergency use.
There is, remarkable to state, not
single gun carSlage in reserve. If shot
should disable a disappearing gun car
riage at Fort Warren, the arsenal could
not replace it within a month, at the
least time"
Speaking of the danger Of war with
Spain, Major ]. w. Reilly, the COM
nandant of the arsenal, said:
Things look pretty threatening IN
Cuba. The concentration of European
ships at Havana means that affairs are
coming to a crisis. II war comes be-
tween the United States and Spain, II
is likely to come in a hurry-before
open declaration.
1T is not at all improbable that there
will be a naval battle or some trouble
Of serious nature before people have
come to know that actual warfare has
begun.
Now, this Cuban affair should i'm
press the American people with the
enormous question that is likely, II
seems, at any moment to confront then
the expenditure, among other things
of vast amount of money and the fact
that the chief features of the question
have been known for some time should
make the people urgent to prepare as
soon as possible for war. Delay in Z
matter of this kind sometimes meant
enormous expense later. Whether W.
expect war or not, the position Of th'
United States would be inhnitel!
strengthened if the nation were wei
prepared for such a contingency.
In the present aspect of interna
tional affairs il would be at least com
mon prudence to lay in supplies ant
get ready"
