MERITS OF ARMY RIFLES.
Views of Ordnance Officers ON the
Springfield and Small Bores.

The ordnance officers OF the army are in
olgnant at the statements that have an
peared in the press, some OF them attribute
bic TO high army officers. questioning the
merits Of the Springfield rife with which a
large proportion Of the United States army
Is armed. These statements, they say. are
calculated to do infinite harm among the
volunteer forces, though the regulars know
and like the old Springfield too well to dis
trust 1t now The principal argument
made against its employment by the critics
Is that It's short range enables the Spanish
armed with Mausers to pick off our men
!ong before they get within range of the
Springtel1s.
This is said to be based upon error. The
which is only few hundred yards short
of the Mauser and the formers big 800
grain bullet is said to have greater killing
power at the long ranges. The opinion of
some good practicable soldiers as to the
respective merits of the Springfield and the
modern small bore is shown by the fact
that such able soldiers as Colonel Ray and
Colonel Schuyler Of New York, who are
organizing independent regiments have
specially requested the War Department to
supply them the former.
A good deal has been said also as to the
great superiority OF sTnokeless powder used
the Springfield. but none OF the best ord
rance officers IN the War Department has
declared that there are merits In both pow
cers. In open fighting the smoke made by
the Springfield often serves to obscure the
marksman from a return fire while the
man armed with the smokeless weapon is
exposed to aimed fire.

ENEMY,S FIRE WAS sILENCED.
News Came at the Close of Bus!
Sunday.

News Came Mt the Close of a Busy
Sunday.
The American flag foated over the
White House and the War and Navy De-
partments yesterday, an unusual thing Tor
a Sunday, but sign of the times. III
was a reminder Of the Presidents call
upon the people of the land to celebrate
the glorious achievements of the American
army and navy. The President himself
and the members of the cabinet led the
way in the observance of the terms OF
his proclamation by repairing to their re-
spective places of worship and offering up
thanks for the success that has attended
a righteous cause and prayers for a con-
tinuance Of the manifestation of divine
favor.
The news of the bombardment of Sam
tiago came to the War Department at the
close of busy Sunday. Several dispatches
were received from Gen. Shafter during
the day, of which the following were made
public:
Il have just received letter from Gen.
Toral declining unconditional surrender.
Bombardment by army and navy will be-
gin at as near 4 pm. today yesterday
possible
Enemy opened fire few minutes past
with light guns, which were soon 81
fenced by ours, very little musketry firing,
and the enemy kept entirely in their en-
trenchments. Three men slightly wounded:
will have considerable forces tomorrow:
enough to completely block all the roads
on the northwest. L am quite well. Gen.
Garcia reports that enemy evacuated lit
tie town called Doscaninos. about three
miles from Santiago and near the bay"
Information received by the War De-
partment during the few days of truce in
dicates that Gen. Shafter has materially
strengthened his position. During the
week he received reinforcements of both
artillery and infantry. Randolph's Bat
terry of twenty-four guns, which left Key
West Tuesday at midnight, is now in posi-
ton before Santiago, and, as one of the
War Department officials expressed 1t:
When those Long Toms of Randolph be-
gin to talk something will happen in San
tiago.''
Gen. Shafter has nearly fifty siege guns
and large number of seven-inch mortars,
besides lighter artillery at his disposal.
These guns. taken in connection with the
work that be done by the fleet, will,
1t is believed, carry terror and destruction
to Santiago.
Gen. Shafter notified the department of
| the arrival of the following reinforcements
The st. Paul has just arrived with Gen.
Henry and his command and quartermas-
terS stores"
The Catania has Just arrived with the
1st District of Columbia Volunteers"
