earnestly inquiring into the fitness Of
the United States to assume this re-

The manifest duty OF the United
states is to so direct the affairs of these
peoples us to lead them TO the estah-

government. Having revolted from
the rule OF Spain, they must be taught

task, since they range through all the
stages from the primitive savage 20 the

agree upon Agulnaldo as their leader,

establishing a senseless code OF per-

CAPTURED GUNS
In the WARMTH Spain not Likely to
be serviceable.


WASHINGTON. Dec. 9O,-There has
been some speculation as to what dis
position the navy department win make
OF the modern guns captured frcm
Spain during the recent war. II has
been generally understood that the OBJ
solete ordnance would figure only as
souvenirs for distribution by the gov
eminent to states and municipalities,
but there was quite 4 number Of SER
viceable modern cannon, mostly naval
guns. captured At Santiago. Manila and
elsewhere. II IS stated BY the DEPART
ment that these guns are not likely 10
form very valuable asset. The 40
inch guns from the Maria Teresa, the
Viscaga and the Colon, several OF
which are row at the washington navy
yard. are not the most modern type OF
this weapon. They are different In
calibre from any guns In the American
nayy except those OF the New Orleans
and the Albany. now being completed
abroad. The slx-iDch qulck-fire guns
captured also require special nmmuni-
ton. not being adapted 10 our siN-lnch
shells. so that except in case OF ncci-
dent 10 one Of the guns a the New
Orleans or AiSauF there would be small
likelihood OF getting any OF the cap
tursd ordnance Into service, The ques-
ton OF boring out the captured guns to
the next hiAher cailbre was considered,
but rejected az reducing too greatly the
factor of safety.
There Is on hand quite a supply OF
ammunition Tor the peculiar armament
OF our two adopted cruisers, ard II is
thought by the time this Ia used IN this
country viii be In position 10 supply
them with all OF the sort o; ummuni-
ton they reed.
Il is interesting 10 note that the new
guns being planned Tor the navg Will
conform IN certain material respects 70
