SUPPOSED SPY
Arrested at Camp Gretna, Pa.-.-Had
Lots Of Money, Asked Many Ques-
lions and Acted Suspiciously.

Mt Gretna, Pa, June 9.-Lieut. Col.
Rutledge, provost marshal at Camp
Hastings, to-day ordered the arrest OF
q man giving his name as Arrara, who
is suspected of being Spanish spy.
Arrara appeared at camp about a
week ago and busted himself about
the tent Of the Y. NJ c. A. He pre-
scented letter purporting to be signed
by the president of Guatemala, and
showed proficiency in the use OF the
English, French, German, Italian and
Spanish languages. He was observed
from time to time questioning the en-
listed men and invariably stunning
any communication with the officers
In addition, he seemed to thoroughly
understand the various drill move
ments. When searched after his ar
rest $500 was found on him and but
little information could be obtainer
regarding his reason for being here
It developed, however, that he had told
contradictory stories, saying at one
time he was after men to colonlze
Guatemala and again that he was a
wealthy merchant travelling for his
health. He is now under guard
awaiting the result Of further invesu-
cation.

THE DYNAMITE GUN.
Friends of the Vesuvius Urging That
the Cruiser be Given an opportu-

Washington, June 9.-The advocates
of the dynamite gun as a weapon OF
warfare are urging the authorities to
bring the dynamite cruiser Vesuvlus
into mere active service, where she can
demonstrate her ability against the
Notifications at Santiago and other
points Of attack. The Vesuvius has en-
board three sizes of dynamite projec-
tiles, namely, those carrying 500 pounds
of dynamite, 200 pounds and 100
pounds. Another projectie carrying so
pounds is available, but none of these
is carried by the Vesuvius at present.
She was equipped with the heavier class
of dynamite shells, as it was designed
to give her real experience as a factor
in warfare The claims made for her
have never been subjected to the prac-
tical test of real war, but it was be-
lieved that the present war would at
ford an opportunity for showing wheth-
er this mode of using dynamite was
practical.
Thus far, however, the vessel has not
figured in any Of the actions in West
Indian waters, nor have the reports
from that quarter shown that she was
among the ships available for active
work. The friends of the gun believe
that one or two shells containing 500
pounds of dynamite each, landed in
Moro Castle would make short work
of that fortress They say a single
dynamite projectile would have a more
destructive effect than the broadside
of an entire fleet 1t is pointed out also
that the elevation of the dynamite
guns suits them for sending a dynamite
shell high into the air and then drop
ping it, like a mortar ball, in the midst
of the for tifications These views were
called to the attention Of naval officials
that the Vesuvius be given chance
! to throw a few hundred pounds of dyn-
amite into Santiago.
| Some of the naval officers think the
| ship has not trained her guns upon
| Santiago thus far because of the feel
| ing of danger which attends the hand
! ling of these guns. 1t is said that if a
| Spanish shot pierced the Vesivius and
| got into her dynamite magazine il
would result in a terrific explosion and
| the wiping out of the ship officers and
crew. There is considerable hesitancy
| also over firing these huge masses OF
| dynamite, as naval officers believe that
| it has not vet been proven that they
| will not explode before getting under
way. These are some of the causes
| leading up to the lack of service of this
cruiser. There is a desire. however,
| to find out one way or the other what
dynamite will accomplish in warfare
and the appeals which have been made
| probably will result in bringing the
Vesuvius into the ranks of the fight
ing ships.
