ARMS FOR VOLUNTEERS.
Preparations mt the Burenu of Ord
nance for Providing Them.

The fighting equipment of the volunteer
troops to be sent to the Philippines is en-
gaging the attention of officers of the Bu-
reau of Ordnance Rush orders have been
sent out by telegraph directing the supply
depots to forward at once to the different
regimental rendezvous 500 mess kits for
use by the volunteers as they go In camp.
This will only fill the demand for a few
days and another 500 will be supplied when
needed.
The principal work by the department
relates to the fighting arms with which
the soldiers are to be provided The new
volunteer army will be supplied with the
latest pattern Krag- -Jorgensen rifle of the
1898 tyne II is the same kind of gun as
the regular troops use and has velocity
of 1000 feet. Only smokeless powder am
munition will be furnished the volunteer
regiments. The value of target practice
for the recruits has caused the Ordnance
Department to make extra efforts to pro-
vide ranges for the troops at the different
rendezvous. At each of the places named
there are facilities for target practice, but
the department has found that it is nee
essary to supply in many cases material
to put the ranges in proper shape for use.
Accordingly, orders were issued yesterday
to officers of the Ordnance Department di-
recting that the ranges be put in proper
shape as soon as possible.
The Bureau of Ordnance has stopped the
manufacture of the Krag- -Jorgensen gun
of the 1898 model. there being on hand an
abundance of guns of this type. The num-
ber ready for use at the Springfield Armory
and at Benecia Arsenal are about 900
to 10000. The reason however, for the
issuing of orders stopping any further
manufacture Of these guns is that the de-
partment is at work perfecting a type OF
gun that will be far superior to that now
in use The new 1899 model will be an
| improvement in every way. The sight will
be provided with a wind gauge and the
gun will have a greater velocity, the sight
| being graduated TO 2,2G0 feet, Gs against
| 1000 feet in the gun now in use. The work
of experiment and investigation with ref
| erence to the new gun is nearly completed
and it is expected that the manufacture of
the new small arm Will begin within q
short time.

HE WILL NOT CHANGE IT.
Comptroller TrncewcH Adheres 10
His Civil Service Decision.


r. ]. Tracewell. Comptroller of the
Treasury, returned to Washington yester-
day after an extended tour through the
West. Soon after he reached his Office a
reporter handed him copy of the late
letter of the Civil Service Commission to
the Secretary of the Treasury. in which it
was asked that the Comptroller review his
decision Of April l last. relating to the
appointment and pay OF deputy United
States marshals. Mr.. Tracewell said he
had not read the letter before. although he
had seen extracts from it while away. He
was not prepared to make a reply. He
said however, that he would consider the
matter at once.
He stated that the President had prac-
tically settled the question by taking dep
uty marshals out of the classified service.
The controversy might have ended there.
thought Mr.. TracewelL. The Comptroller
had seen nothing which might induce him
to change the views he had expressed in
the decision. and intimatsd that he would
maintain the same position in his reply.
He added that the courts have repeatedly
held that deputy United States marshals
were not Federal officers within the mean
ing of the law. Consequently he though:
the act of a former President in placing
them within the classified service was
clearly Illegal.

CUBAN ARMY MUSTER ROLLS.
Brooke Has Them and They Show a Force
of 5000 Men.

Havana, April 15.-The Cuban army
muster rolls, which were delivered
Thursday evening to Governor General
Brooke through Senior Domingo Mendez
Capote. are prepared in neat clerical
style, the 1900 broad sheets showing on
their face $4,000 names-6, 600 commits
stoned officers and 1900 non-commis-
stoned officers and privates. The whole
statement is in orderly arrangement of
corps, regiments. battalion and company
scores.
The United States military authori-
ties make no attempt to reconcile the
A, 000non-commissio officers and pri-
Yates indicated by these rolls with the
1928 given in the estimates prepared
under the direction of the provincial
governors As a matter of fact since
the American figures were published it
has developed that they were in some
respects misleading.
