DISPOSITION OF
CAPTURED PIECES

Washington. July 19.-The ordnance
department of the war department Is
considering what TO do with the large
quantity OF arms. ammunition, forti-
Sication guns and ordnance stores which
have come into the possession OF this
government through the surrender al
Santiago.
Gen. Shafter reports that about 1000
Mauser rifles were turned over the nrst
siay and the number will reach proba-
bly, 10000 when the troops at other
points in the surrendered zone turn In
their guns.
The reports made before the sur
render 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, especially from the
volunteers. left many of them rusty
and defective. Ordnance officials be-
lieve. however, that the greater part of
the guns can be put in first class order.

ANYIQUATED GUNS
AT SANTIAGO

The ordnance officers expect to make
very little use of the old fortifcation
guns mounted in MORO Castle, Socapa,
Caya Smith and other forts along San
tiago harbor. These IL has developed
since the capture. are guns OF antiquat-
ed pattern, most OF them muzzle
leaders.
II is said they would not be worth
bringing back to the United States ex-
cept as souvenirs OF the fall of San
tiago.
For the present they probably will be
retained at the forts, for since they have
proved sufficiently effective TO make
a showing against the American fleet
they will suffice for the present passive
condition of affairs.

Guns Expeclei This Week.

The officers and men OF Battery Il at
Quonset Point are now of the opinion
that the two breech-loading guns need
ed to complete the equipment of the
battery will arrive some time this week,
for information has been received to
that effect from Washington. The guns
will be shipped direct to Davisville and
will be then taken to the camp by such
horses that the state owns. The next
thing needed from the government is
the horses for both the batteries, for
without them the drills. no matter how
hard the men work, are unsatisfactory
and insufficient.
Matters are progressing very quietly
at Camp Dyer: the men are. working
hard, the weather Is good and the sani-
tary condition of the camp is very sat-
isfactory indeed. The members of the
Hospital Corps are having an oppor-
tunity TO secure valuable instruction i'm
their work at Quonset Point. Nearly
all the command have at one time or
another had a tour of duty here. Pri-
vate Briggs has relieved Private Fos-
ter, and today Private Phillips will be
relieved by Private Sisson. A few vac
cination cases still fall to the lot OF the
surgeon, Lieut.. Calder. and there are
a few minor cases that have to be at
tended to.
