Springfield Rifles.

Springfield. Mass. June 31.-I.ieutenant
Colonel Arnold, of the United States Ar
mory in this city. has just received orders
from Washington to at once increase the
output of rifles to 500 per day and to put
in new machinery for that purpose. The
present force of men employed at the
armory is about 1850 and this number will
have to be increased to 5000. Advertise
ments for machinery for turning out the
extra number of rifles have been issued
and as soon as possible the bids will be
opened and the contracts awarded.
1t is the intention of the officials to
push the matter as much as possible and
inside of six weeks it is expected that the
shops will be turning out nearly the re-
quired number of arms. The old shops
will be refitted and much of the new ma
chinery placed there. The officials here
say that the increased output is likely to
continue for some time. even If the war
should come to an end soon, for 1t is to
be the policy of the Government hereafter
to keep on hand thousands of guns for
emergency. And it is evident that the
Springfield magazine rifle is to be the arm
of the Army. Among the firms who will
submit bids for the machinery are: Pratt
& Whitney. Hartford. Conn: Garvin
Manufacturing Company, New York;
Brown-Sharp Manufacturing Company
Providence; Hill, Clark & Co., Boston;
Manning, Maxwell & Moore. New York;
Billings & Spencer, Hartford, and Bar
ber Machine Company, New York. The
appropriation made by the Government
for supplying the troops with arms will
cover this extra expense.

Reserves Taken for the Army,

Jacksonville. Fla, June 30-Interesting
complications have sprung up between
United States Army officers and Florida
Naval Reserves The recruiting officer
for the Florida First Regiment at Tam
pa. now here. enlisted two men of the Ma
val Reserves. Just they were leaving
last night for Tampa, Lieutenant ]. II.
Bland. in command of the reserves. and
Cromwell Gibbons. ensign. appeared and
forbade them leaving, as they had not
been discharged or granted leave of alb
sence- The reserve officers stated that
they would send squad of men down to
the train and prevent the departure of
their two men by force.
Can you do that?" asked the Army
officers.
Yes, We can and will, and will hold
them unless the Army sends down a much
larger detail and captures our squad
Finally the Army recruiting officer de-
cided that the puzzle was too much for
him and he wired to Adjutant General
Corbin, at Washington, for instructions.
Complaint is made by the Naval Re-
serve officers that the commanding gem
eral at Tampa has given orders to accept
all men, no matter whether in the Ma
val Reserve service or not, and send
them on.
While the officers were absent last
month fifteen Naval Reserve men Joined
the forces at Tampa. The officers say
they will send detail down there and
bring them back, as they belong to their
service and cannot be taken by the Unit
ed States Army.

THURSDAY, JUNE 80. 1898.
just Before the Battle.

There was little additional news from
before Santiago this morning of popu-
lar Importance. although what came
was of a character greatly encourag .ng
TO those who view the preparations Of
Shafter and Wheeler for the ultimate
struggle from a strictly military stand
point. As the American play develops.
the probable course of the attack is
plainly suggested. MORO Castle will be
taken from the land side. and Aqua
dores, midway between Juragua and
the harbor mouth. Those preliminary
movements may be reported at any
time.
General Shafter would have brought
on a general engagement today if his
siege artillery could have been in po-
sition and his troops supplied with
three days cooked rations. As it is. his
own idea seems to be that he will at
tack in force. on Monday. if
possible. As The Times stated this
morning il may be necessary to clear
out the Spanish column from Manza-
Milo before attending to Santiago. or
when the re-enforcements now on the
way arrive. both matters may be set
tied az once.
Numerous reconnaissance yesterday
show that Linares has withdrawn his
whole available force to within his
int rior line of defense, abandoning his
outposts in every direction. The cen
clusiOn from this is that he has no idea
other than to make as stubborn a re-
sistance as he can behind his fortifi-
cations. breastwOrks and trenches, AMI
trust to holding out until REINFORCED
by the forces which are moving TO his
assistance from ManZanillo. Holguin
and Havana. Any hope of that kind is
futile. but he either does not know or
will not admit it. General Shafter has
no hesitation in saying that he can re-
duCe Santiago and end the business in
hand at any time within forty-eight
hours. the only question being the losses
to be suffered in the operation.
There is not a shadow of doubt that
Santiago IS doomed to fall within a
very short time, and the country hopes
that the event may not have to be post
poned beyond the early part of next
week. There is much to do that ought
to be undertaken Immediately in other
quarters. but will not be until this mat
ter is out of the way.

LIKE A RESURRECTION.
Jacob Trnub. MOurned Among An
tictnm Dead Heroes. Reappenrs.

New York. June 30.-What was thought
to be the ghost of Jacob Traub. who his
friends all believed was killed at the bat
tie of Antietam over a third of century
ago. stalked with martial tread into the
rooms of his sister-in-law. Mrs. Charles
Traub, yesterday afternoon and created
as might naturally be expected some
what of a CONSERVATION. His brother.
Charles had long ago passed into the
shades of the hereafter and Jacob. max
ing his explanations TO the widow after
her fright had subsided. declared that
the reports of his death were absolutely
unfounded. In fact, he argued he was
not dead. and called upon his presence in
her presence TO prove II. Then he showed
that while he was wounded at Antistam
and in an Army hospital for several
months. he recovered to go West and
grow up with the country. He yearned
for his friends and home. however. and
having by assiduity and industry been
able to buy farm and establish him
self in good financial order he journeyed
back, but only TO remain a day or two
and then TO make further advances into
the great region. where he had es:aD-
lished himself when the war was over.

The Camnrn Conupdrum.

1t seems yet uncertain whether Ca
mara will raise the cash to pay his
fare and go through the Suez Canal or
not. If he does, he will be obliged to
leave his torpedo boat destroyers be-
hind him, as their machinery is COM
pletely out of order. owing to polite at
tentiuns bestowed upon it by ignorant
and careless Spanish engineers. The
Egyptian government refuses to let
him coal at Port Said, and, otherwise
he is in difficulties to such an extent
that it is thought in Europe he will
turn around and so home.
Nothing could be more satisfactory to
the Government and people CT this
country. If Camara We're to get to the
east of Suez, the job of finding him and
sinking his ships would be an arduous
one. Anywhere in Mediterranean wat

The desirability of feeding the Cadiz
squadron to the fishes is greatly en-
HANGED by a mistaken notion which the
SpaniardS have as to our intention or
ability to deliver a successful blow at
their fortified coast towns. There really
seems to be a hilarious feeling in Spain
over the alleged dispatch of a flying
squadron from this side under Commo-
dore Watson. 1t is looked upon as
pure ruse to secure the recall of Ca
mara, and Spanish officials in Madrid
declare with seeming conviction that.
were it otherwise, their coast defenses
are impregnable to the guns of any
American fleet.
We are rather glad that our friends
the enemy regard the matter in this
cheerful light. Their awakening in two
OF three weeks will be all the more anti
thetical and its results salutary in
higher degree. In fact, it may be said
with much truth that little short Of the

Vote Against Volunteering.

New York. June sO.-The members of the
Seventeenth Separate Company. National
Guard, State of New York. of Flushing,
have voted almost unanimously not to go
TO the ffent under the second call for
volunteers unless the company with its
officers is accepted as an organization.
Gov. Black requested Capt. Klein, of
the company, to nominate 4 captain and
two lieutenants for one of the new regi-
ments, but he says now that he will not
make the nomination unless the company
Is accepted as a body.
Capt. Klein has announced that he will
not accept a desirable commission from
the United States Government unless the
men of his company are allowed to enlis,
with him., with a standing as volunteers
the same as they now have as State mil
itiamen. Some members of the company
are not strictly in accord with the stand
taken, and 1t is reported that they will
join one of the new regiments to be re-
cruited by the State under the second
call.

The evening times., 1898-06-30

All sorts of queer things are happening
to some of our volunteers IN camp. and
one of these is indicated by wall that
comes from il New York regiment, to the
effect that few of the Government uni
forms were found to fit. They were all
of the same size. and had to be altered
by the post tailor-at the soldiers eS-
pense. This cost from three to eight
days pay, and the boys objected. The
trouble seemed to be that all the uni
forms were cut to fit the largest men in
the company. and nearly all had, there
fore. TO be taken in and hemmed up and
otherwise made smaller. This state of
things may possibly be due to an expe-
rience which Uncle Sam had somewhere
about 81. in fitting out another volunteer
army. Some of the regiments of that
army received clothes OF assorted sizes,
and as less attention had been paid 10 the
height and proportions of the men than
is paid nowadays. some Of the results
We're weird and curious to behold. The
men who We're of an ordinary size natu-
rally Jared the best. Some of the odd
sizes found no takers. and some were
taken by men Tor whoH they were n
ludicrous misfit. Thus II chanced that al
drill one day an officer of one company
grew very cross with little Irishman
who did not seem TO be paying attention
to orders The officer. when he gave his
orders. was in the habit of watching the
mems feet. and this mans pair OF shoes
never moved. Finally the officer inquired.
not in very mild tone of voice. why the
wearer of the shoes did not turn around.
The meek Milesian responded that he did
turn around; the shoes were so big that
his feet could go through the evolutions
on the inside, Remembering experiences
such as these. veterans of the Civil War
are inclined to cheer new recruits with
the statement that there are no hard
ships nowadays for enlisted men.

Many Of the leading Liberals espe-

more slowly than in Madrid.
