WITH sMoKELEss POWDER.
Porto Rico vcinntsers 70 DO s"pP"o"
with the Valuable Explosive

Porto Rico vcluntsers to Be supple"
with the Valuable Explosive.
Washington, July 22.-It is said a.
the war department that the volunteers
who are to take part in the Porto Rican
campaign will be supplied with smoke
less powder to be used with the spring
field rifles. The government factories
are already beginning to turn out car
tridges Of As cafiber charged with
smokeless powder, and these cartridges
will be shipped by the hundred thou
sand to Porto Rico as fast as they are
ready. The efficiency of the volunteer
troops will thus be greatly Increased.
The question of using smokeless pow
der with the Springfield rifle has been
an open one in the war department for
a long time, some experts holding that
it was impossible to use 1t effectively
owing to the danger of running the bar
rels Of the guns. This has been given
as one reason for the delay In equip
ment. Another reason, perhaps the
more important one. has been the rail-
ure Of congress to appropriate money
for the purpose Of experiment, 1nvesti-
cation and manufacture.
All the small arms Of the regular ar
my are already supplied with the
smokeless powder needed for their ef-
fective use. That the volunteers were
not quickly fitted out with improved
ammunition is due partly to the two
causes which have been mentioned and
partly to the slow going methods OF the
ordnance bureau in the war Depart
ment, which has only recently begun 10
rouse to the full measure of Its respon-
sibility in Fastening the work OF prep
aration for war.
1t Is hoped now that before active
operations in Porto Rico are begun vol
unteer troops there will be supplied
with enough rounds Of smokeless pow
der to meet any pressing need and that
before battle takes place the old black
powder will have been superseded alto
gether. At least this Is the statement
at the department.
The fieldpieces are also to be fitted
out in the same way. Hitherto our ar
tillery has been at a serious disadvan-
tage, owing to the fact that there was
no smokeless powder for use in the
larger guns. But the batteries now on
their way to Porto Rico are adequately
supplied. Companies c and M OF the
Seventh, which have Just set sail, are
the first in the army to receive a full
equipment of the right kind Of ammu-
milton.
The trouble with the army and the
navy, for that matter, has been due
largely to the fact that the powder fac
tories were all in transient stage at
the outbreak of the war.

BATTERED AND BURNED.

Divers Examine tho Wrecks Of the Span.
tsh Ships at Manila.
| New York, July 20. The Journals
special correspondent at Manila cables
the following dispatch from Cavite by
| way Of Hongkong:
With Admiral Dewey's consent I sent
expert divers down to make a careful
examination Of the hulls and interiors
| of the Spanish warships sunk by the
American squadron in the great naval
battle in Manila harbor on May 1.
They report that the cruiser Reina
Cristipa shows the most complete de-
struction. The course of the Olympia
inch shell is clearly traced by line
Of ruin extending from her stern to her
| waist. All her woodwork is totally de-
stroyed. There are very few large shot
holes through her hull, the principal
ones being from 6 inch shell amidship
and from some inch shells.
Charred human remains were seen In
several places. A large heap of remains
near where the ladder stood shows that
rush to escape was made by the en-
gineer's force. All were lost, as the
matches 10 engine and fire room were
closed.
The cruiser Castillo was less burned
but was terribly wrecked. There are
plain traces where six big shells tore
immense holes in her wooden hull
When the fire started, the weight of the
guns caved the hull inward. The war
ship is now a mass of twisted iron and
charred beams, very bad wreck, re-
sembling that of the Maine in appear
ance. Many of the bodies left on board
are badly burned.
The shots doing the most damage
tore over the after berth deck and
through the port bow. Everything att
from the engines was shattered. Three
large shells entered amidships. The
number of deaths was not so large as
on the Reina Cristina.
The Don Antonio de Ulloa did not
burn. She sank quickly, riddled ia
pieces by shells of all sizes. The great
est havoc was done by inch Shells
A number Of dead bodies all huddled
together near the ladder leading to the
superstructure, shows that the men
were killed by she'll as they were at
tempting to lift the treasure chest to
the superstructure and save it.
A inch shell went through the cabin
and wrecked everything in it. One man
was killed in the cabin. 1t is impossi-
BILE now to distinguish the ranks of the
dead men.
The divers who went down to the
ships are Oscar Ericsson and Frank
Breshan, who are two Of the best In
the navy. This is the first time that
divers have ever inspected warships
which had been sunk in action,

Washing In Hard Water.

1t is difficult to wash our hands clean
with hard water, because the soda of
the soap combines with the sulphuric
acid of the hard water and the oil of
the soap with the limo and floats in
flakes on the top of the water. Sulphate
OF limo consists of sulphuric acid and
lime. 1t is difficult to wash in salt wa
ter because it contains muriatic acid,
and the soda of soap combines with the
muriatic acid of the salt water and pro-
duces cloudiness.

CHIEF CAUSE,


Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys is
the chief canse Of bladder troubles. So the
womb, like the bladder, was created for one
purpose, and If not doctored too much is not
liable to weakness or disease, except in rare
eases; It is situated back of and very close to
the bladder, therefore any PAIN disease or in
convenience manifested in the kidneys, back.
bladder or urinary passage is often, by mis-.
take, attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble OF some sort. The error is easily
made and may be as easily avoided. To find
out correctly, set your urine aside for twenty
t Ii'ro hours; sediment or settling indicates

aoot, the great kidney, and bladder remedy

The news comes from Oakland.

The news comes from Oakland,
California, Of the death of w. E.
Bond, business manager Of the Ana
conda Standard since 1894, and the
tidings will bring feeling of sorrow
to all members Of the fraternity, and
especially to those with whom Mr..
Bond had business or personal rela-
tions. W. E. Bond was one whose
personality was such that at the very
first meeting he won the Friendship
and confidence of those with whom
he came in contact. There was
something SO thoroughly manly about
him that one instinctiycly liked him
without really knowing why, and
further association but deepcned that
feeling. The writer has met Mr..
Bond many times, has had business
dealings with him, and was proud to
call him friend, and he can sympa-
thizc, in measure, with those whose
closer relations with the deceased
make their sorrow at his early taking
off 9. personal grief, as though Il
brother had been called away.

date for the reply has been set for
not later than next Monday, and if
the american demand is not acceded
to at that time; negotiations may be
broken off and hostilitiGs resumed.
Spain has already evacuated Porto
Rico and that island is in American
possession. She can make no con-
test now in Cuba, and the only result
Of a renewal Of hostilities would be
that the American forces would pro-
ceed to take possession Of the Philip
pine islands and Spain would lose
not only the islands but the $780,
O0O,00 which is how offered her, not
to speak Of other losses. It is more
tGan likely that Spain will yield by
next week, but in the meantime the
administration is preparing for either
