SPRINGFIELD RIFLES.
Recent Criticisms calculated TO
Work Mischief.

Washington, July 12.-The criticisms
appearing in the papers, Some Of them
from high military officials. of the util-
ity Of the Springfield rifles, with
which a large portion of the army is
equipped. is calculated 10 work mis-
chief. The principal argument made
against its employment by the critics
is that its short II allowed the
Spaniards. armed with Mausers, 10
pick off our men long before they get
within range Of the Springfield. This
is said 10 be based upon errors. The
Springfield has a range of 3,4O0 yards,
which is only a few hundred yards
short of the Mauser. and the formers
big 500-grain bullet is said to have
better killing power at the long range.
The comparison of the killing powers
is shown by the fact that several or
GERS who have organized expeditions
have especially requested the Spring
field rifle 10 be furnished them by the
war department. Experts at the war
department say that the smoke raised
by the Springfield protects the men
from a return fire. while the men
armed with the smokeless weapon are
always in view.

the latter was wounded, had declined
to surrender Internationally, and that
the bombardment OF the town would
begin by the army and navy about !

by Shafter to begin so late in the day
created some comment. but no eX-

10 Santiago. Anxiety, has been ex-
pressed by the war department Off
Gals as TO whether Gen. Shafter had a
sufficient force TO prevent the evacua-

anxiety was allayed about 1870 last
night by the receipt Of the following
dispatch from Gen. Shafter, which
contained confirmation, too, of the
earlier reports Of the beginning of the
bombardment:
Enemy opened fire a few minutes
past four with light uns which were
soon silenced by ours. Very little

PESSlMlSTIC SPANIARDS.
Hopeiessness of the War Finally
Recognized.


Madrid. July IL. Information re-

is to the effect that the darkest pes
simism ~pervades Madrid ofiicialism.
The hopelessncss of the war Is finally
recognized and the peace idea now
seems to predominant in the cabinet
and negotiations are considered ur-
gent. The cabinet is likely to cohesce
until peace is secured. 1t is now
recognized that Santiago de Cuba is
completely beleaguered and cannot
hold out owing to the lack of pro-
visions and munitions Of war. 1t is
considered certain that the Americans
will blockade Cuban and Puerto Rican
ports, cutting of their supplies. while
the authorities are convinced that an
American feet is coming TO the PENN
sula. There is no confidence felt that
the powers will interfere even If de-
fenseless seaports are bombarded, and,
therefore, what measures Of defense
are possible are being adopted.
