SPANISH RIFLES.

The Ordnance Department OF the

the Mauser rifles captured at Santiago.
which have been pronounced unfit for
use in the Army. 1t is the intention
OF the department to sell these rifles
either in small numbers or in large. No
difficulty is looked for in disposing of
them, as many communications have
been received already from private
parties relative to this matter. Curio
dealers will undoubtedly buy the great
