Remarkable Twelve-Inch Disappearing
Gun Carriage Built at the Watertown
Arsenal for Portland Harbor.

Supplies for the ordance department. are
constantly shipped from the Watertown
Arsenal. Scarcely day passed that eithr
shot and shell, sponges, shot lifts, or
some other article connected with the
department Is not sent to some of the
United States forts. In every building
the employees, now numbering more than
four hundred. continue their rush work,
particularly on 16-pounds shot and shell.
The settingup shop is busy place. For
a long time after Major j. ". Reillysstook
command of the station the gun carriages
were set up Oh the floor of the shop. Then
he built a pit for the disappearing gun
carriage. Later an additional pit was
necessary, and today there are three pits,
and they are occupied by three disap-
pearing gun carriages.
On the first pit is another twelve-inch
disappearing gun carriage. 1t is the last
of the original order of five, and is now
reaGy to be dismounted and shipped. The
guns is mounted upon it's arms, and yes.
terday it stood in the position for firing,
the gun looming up in the air some
twenty or more feet high. Scores of
visitors were permitted to enter the set
ting-up shop yesterday and view the
carriage. which has no equal in any other
country. The visitors were frequently
accompanied by Major Reilly, who was
called upon to explain the mechanism of
the carriage. They were greatly as.
tonished when the major stepped to one
side OF the carriage and by means of a
handle traversed the carriage and gun
single handed and with ease AS the car
riage weighs 348 900 pounds and the gun
l04, 000 pounds, 1t can readily be seen that
the construction Of the carriage must be
perfect and all parts finely and accurately
adjusted.
This gun and carriage are to be placed
in defence of Portland harbor. and the
gun will be the first of it's kind to be
erected upon the New England coast
those defending Boston harbor being
lO'inch guns mounted on disappearing
carriages. The quartermaster IN New
York has been authorized to make ar
rangements for transporting the car
riages, and just as soon as he makes the
contract, work upon the shipments will

special pattern to ship the carriages.

pie 1t is generally the same as the 12-inoh,
but of course It's parts are smaller and
lighter. The carriage weighs 100, 600, and
the gun which is mounted upon it
weighs $1,000. Both of these carriages
work as smoothly as could BE- desired.
The lO-inoh is to be shipped to the FORTH

test, but for actual use.

start. and having fed the people
on false stories of Spanish successes at
San Juan and Santiago and having
ninimjzed the crushing defeat at Manila
until it was made to appearsto the peo-
pie as, if not victory on the part of the
Spaniards, at least q profitless success
for the United States, it is IN no condit-
ion to make direct oYertures for peace,
because to do SO would be tantamount
to. confessing that it lad Systematically
and rersistently lied, and that would
bringd own upon it, and most likely also
upon the reigning dynasty, the wrath
OF the people. Hence its appeal to the
powers to get them to do for it what it
wants to DO, but dares not, for itself.
Doubtless Austria on account of family
relations would like to help Spain out,
but 1t will do nothing, for reasons OF state
craft, except with the cooperation OF
some or all of the other powers, and the
chance of getting that oo-opsration is
very small Probably the diplomat who
| said that the powers would not do any
| thing unless they knew beforehand II
would be agreeable to the United States,
| stated the situation accurately. The
most of them sympathize with Spain,
undoubtedly, and their inclinations ars tc
do something to help her out of her pre-
dicament, but the policies Of nations are
seldom nowadays dictated by mere senti-
ment. The question Of profit and loss is
uppermost and sympathy is easily sup
pressed when the way it points to is a
different way from that which enlight-
ened sslfishness suggests. To run the risk
of affronting great and growing power
like the United States to please decayed
and declining nation like the Spain
would be SO obviously bad policy from
every point of view that no nation Of
Europe is likely to adopt it, much less
all the nations 1t may be safely pre-
dicted therefore that unless the United
States intimates to the powers that 6
proposition from them on behalf of Spain
would be acceptable, none will come
and Spain will be compelled to make hel
own advances. That the United States
will give any intimation is practically
out OF the question. so that spain VIII
have to be her Town negotiator. Soone,
or later she will be forced by her Losses
and defeats to humble herself and ask
for peace. The only question is whether
she will do it now when to certain ex
tent her action would be voluntary, Oh
wait until she is compelled by defeat ant
disaster to do so to save herself from
utter destruction. Doubtless the Span
ish ministry see clearly enough that thu
former would be the wiser course, bu
as it involves much personal humilia
ton and not little discreditable comics
sion it is exceedingly doubtful If the.
will adopt it. The chances are rather tina
they will continue the contest to the bit
ter erd. But that can't be far off. Z

1t was officially announced yesterday
that the Santiago expedition would leave
Key West last night. If the troops really
got away they ought to reach Santiago
about Thursday. The landing will be
effected probably without any serious
res stance from the Spaniards. Apparent
" Guantanamo, which is about forty
miles from Santiago, has been selected as
the place of debarkation. 1t will per-
haps require several days to land the
troops and the artillery and supplies, so
that active operations for the reduction
of Santiago can hardly be begun until
the first of next week. How long it will
take to capture the town is problemati-
cal 1t may perhaps be carried by storm
or it's defences may be found to be so
strong that regular siege operation will
have to be undertaken. The Sbaniards
are said to have 10000 troops in and
about the place, and they say that they
will make desperate resistance. We
look, however, for comparatively easy
victory for our troops. The most of them
are regulars, thoroughly disciplined and
equipped and full of enthusiasm, while
the Spaniards are in inferior condition
and much depressed by the knowledge
that their cause is hopeless. If their in
fantry shoot no better than their artil-
lery, their resistance, stubborn though
it may be, cannot be very effective.

The appearance of yellow fever at a

terrible calamity, but there Is little dan

it has appeared is remote from them

SAID NE SAW DURLEIGH
A Milkman Spoke to Him Last
Thursday.
BURLeIGH AVOIDED HIM
The Police Are Unable to Follow Up the
Clue. Although . Search Has
Been Msds-No Woman
in the Case.

One man turned up yesterday with
a claim that he saw and spoke to Henri
J. Burleigh. the missing lawyer. a. late
as Thursday morning. The man is L.
W. Belveal. a milk man, who informed
Mrs. Althoff Of the Will house yester-
day morning that he met Burleigh
about 10 o'clock Thursday morning be-
tween Butte and walkerville, going in
the direction of the latter city. Belveal
had not heard that Burleigh had been
missing. He said ne could not be mis-
taken, as he had known the lawyer
well at Dillon for years n a trans
acted a good deal Of business with him.
Belveal said he met Burleigh and
greeted him, but the latter. without re-
plying. turned to avoid him and went
on without lifting his head.
The information was conveyed to
Mrs. Burleigh, but she put little faith
i'm in, yet she communicated with the
police n also with George F.. Pascoe,
representing the A. o. Y. W., who has
taken a great lea of interest In the
Burleigh case. Mr.. Pascoe promised to
go to Walkerville and make a personal
search of that place. but IL he went
he did not meet with any success, for
he did not report to Mrs. Burleigh.
The latter said the police had also
promised TO run down the clue, Out
they did not do SO. but Chief Mulhol-
land during the day made a search Of
a number of the lodging houses In the
city. but failed TO md a single trace
of the missing lawyer. He also called
at the pawn shops in search Of the
jewelry Burleigh was supposed to have
pawned, but discovered none of ii.
Mrs. Burleigh does not believe n
Of the rumors that connect the
name of another woman with that Of
her husband. She said last evening
thai. if he had been in the lower part
of town or In any questionable resort,
il was only evidence of a deranged
mind, and she said she would have no
word of censure for him for his acts
and would only be too glad to have him
return to her alive Mrs. Burleigh had
a great number of callers yesterday,
friends from Butte. Dillon and Helena,
who sympathized with her. and sorrow
for her husband. Many of them ex-
pressed their belief, formed from what
| they had observed of Mr.. Burleigh dur
ing the past month. that he was not
i'm his right mind. Several intimate
friends of the attorney have given 1t
as their opinion that Burleigh has not
been in his right mind since the
assault made on him by a lawyer
named Barber at Dillon a year
ago. Burleigh was terribly beaten
about the head with a loaded came.
from the result of which he was for a
long time in a critica! condition.
