WASHINGTON, D. c., July 1s.-The
ordnance department OF the war de-
partment is considering what to do
with the large quantity of'arms, am
munitlon, fertilization guns and ord
nance stores which have come into the
possession of this government through
the surrender of Santiago. General
Skater reports that about 1000 Mauser
rifles were turned over the first day and
the number will reach probably 10000
when the troops at other points in the
surrendered zone turn In their guns.
The reports made before the surrender
indicated that the Mausers handled By
the Spanish troops were not in very
good condition. The guns were all
right when furnished, but the poor care
they received principally from the vol
.unteers left many OF them rusty and
defective. Ordnance officials believe,
however. that the greater part of the
guns can be put In first class order.
The Mauser has a caliber OF seven
millimeters or two and seven-eighths OF
an inch, while the American gun has
calIbre OF 1.0S of an inch, This differ
ence in calibre makes It impossible to
uSe American ammunition in the cap
tured guns. The surrender also covers
a large stock OF ammunition, rifle balls,
etc, OF the calIber suitable for the
Mausers, so that when the guns are re-
paired there Will be an ample stock OF
cartridges to use In them. The ord
nance bureau is considering only what
shall be done with the guns II they aEe
utilized by this government, as 1t has
nothing to do with the larger question
concerning the ultimate return OF the

Three Persons Killed and ThirtY-five In
jured by a Gun powder Explosion.
HAVANA, Cuba (By Cable).-Three per-
sons are dead, fifteen are fatally injured,
expected to die. and twenty others are
more or less seriously injured as the result
Of an explosion which blew up house on
the Avenue Infanta, near the Reina Bat
terry, few days ago. Most OF the victims
are boys and girls.
1t appears that q man known as Seroni-
mo Smith had acquired several hundreds
of thousands Of cartridges, many Of an old
pattern, at the various artillery depots
here, fer mere song, and was arranging
to turn his investment to account by re-
moving the gunpowder from each proJee-
tile, with view to selling it.
When the explosion occurred, shortly
after eight O'Clock, more than forty
workers were emptying the cartridges.
Several tons Of gunpowder already lay In
the main rooms Of the house, while other
rooms were literally packed with more
than 600, 900 cartridges.
The explosion was awful In its effects,
wrecking the building and mangling and
burning the workers. In some cases
clothing was set on fire; In others the flesh
was frightfully torn. Although there had
been only partial explosion OF the con-
ents OF the building, the fear that the
ltire stock of explosives would go on
.dded to the panic. Fortunately, how
.ver, there was no second explosion.

with Mr.. Justice Frear, OF the Hawaiian
Supreme Court, who, with President
Dole, represented the islands OF tbs COM

features OF Territorial organization such
as have pertained to those in the United
