About 10000 to BE Surrendered, Many
of Them in Bad Condition.

of Them i'm Bad Condition.
WASHINGTON, July 19.-The Ordnance
Bureau of the War Department is consider
ing what to do with the large quantity of
arms ammunition, fertilization guns and
ordnance stores which have come into the
possession of this government through the
surrender of Santiago. General Shafter re-
ports that about 1000 Mauser rifles were
turned over the first day, and the number
will reach probably 10000 when the troops
at other points in the surrendered zone turn
in their guns. The reports made before the
surrender indicate that the Mausers handled
by the Spanish troops were not in very good
condition. The guns were all right when
furnished. but the poor care they received,
principally from the volunteers, left many
of them rusty and defective Ordnance Off
clalS Delleve, however, THAT the greater part
OF the guns can be put in tirst-class order.
Inc Mauser has a caliber of seven millimet-
ers, or rs or an inch, while the American
gun mas caliber of 3 of an inch. This diff
ference IN caliber makes it impossible to use
american ammunition in the captured guns.
The surrender also covers a large stock of
ammunition, rife balls etc., of the caliber
suitable for the Mausers so that when the
guns are repaired there will be ample stock
or cartridges to use in them. The Ordnance
Bureau IS considering only what shall be
done with the guns If they are utilized by
TINS government. as 1t has nothing to do
with the larger question concerning the ulti-
mate return of the guns to the Spanish
troops. This. is a general question OF gov
ernmental policy, but it appears to be pretty
well settled that the guns will not be re-
turned to the Spaniards, at least not until
the war is over

No Hog Cholera Serum ON Hands.

Special to the indianapolis Journal,
LAFAYETTE, Ind, July 19-Some time
ago the newspapers made the announce
ment that the Bureau of Animal Industry
had discovered serum which would pre-
vent hog cholera, and that it would be pre-
pared in large quantities this season in or
der to give it a thorough trial. The disease
is now breaking cut in various parts of
this State and numerous applications are
being made for the serum. DR.. A. w. Bit
ting, of Purdue University. anticipated such
a demand and filed an early application for
the serum but none has been distributed
by the government up to the present time.
Purdue has the promise of a quantity as
soon as it can be supplied The newspaper
reports have given the impression that the
serum would be supplied TO all who might
apply. 1t is probable that the quantity of
serum produced this year will be sufficient
for only the special agents. DR.. Biting is
making trials of all the remedies that are
being offered for sale and of everything that
is suggested as a cure.

TORPEDO BOAT PORTER
RETURN OF THE DARING LITTLE
CRAFT FROM CUBAN WATERS.
Narrow Escape from Destruction at
stroy Ceryera's Fleet.

NEW YORK, July 19.--To-day the United
States torpedo boat Porter came back to
New York from the war. When last she
sailed out from the harbor she was fresh
from her trial tests. She sailed away with
Lieut.. j. c. Fremont in command, and she
returned to-day with the same hand on the
wheel and unmarked by any missiles of
war. The little craft returned worn as to
her paint and parts, but with record of
good service and some renown. Speaking
of the Porters trip, Ensign ellis said:
1T is true that we were warned away at
San Juan, and it came about this way.
The long neck of land which reaches out to
make the harbor of San Juan was the most
inoffensive stretch of territory that could
be imagined and feeling thoroughly safe
even with our one-tenth of an inch thick
ness of outer skin, we made up within 600
yards of the beach. little later we
learned that the landscape nearest the shore
was not so guieless as it appeared. When
we had got within what seemed to be
tempting proximity. it seemed as though the
entire ridge opened fire on us at once.
When 1t is considered that bullet from a
Mauser rifle would, if properly directed, go
clean through our hull, the effect of a shell
of any size striking us may be easily i'm
agined. We Immediately opened fire, how
ever, with our one+pounders, and we are
confident that one battery was made ex-
ceediHgly uncomfortable and much less val
liable by the attentions of the Porter. We
were signaled to retire to safer quarters.

COAST DEFENsEs.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-The military
and naval experts say that several impor-
tant lessons in ordnance and Notifications
are furnished by the campaign against San
tiago. 1t is pointed out that the long con-
tentions between the relative merits of land
Notifications and naval ships as means Of
coast defense have received much light by
recent operations. When Admiral Sampson
was chief of the Ordnance Bureau of the
Navy Department he held that the most
effective means of defending coasts was
with war ships rather than with coast de-
lenses. 1t Is said. however, that the coast
defenses of Santiago harbor has demon
strated that coast defenses are even more
effective than war ships. The batteries of

War between the city and the Central Tel

the company that it's first franchise lad
been forfeited long ago and that new
franchise must be obtained before d rev
system could be put in. The Central people
refused to ask for new franchise, and to-

Bank. Warrants for the workmen were at
