this city greatly in excess of any possible re-
qurements. These accumulations are the result
of the war conditions which have existed for
three years and now that the city is in condi-
tion OF profound peace and no member OF the
community has any requirement for deadly

dence at once of good faith and patriotism to
dispense with their retention. Actuated BY
these feelings many citizens have for several
days past been voluntarily turning in these arms
and have requested the United States authori-
ties to receive them.
Castle La Punta has been designated an
armory for the deposit Of arms, and receipts are
given for the weapons turned in.
In the same proclamation physicians are or
dered to report infectious diseases, saloons and
restaurants are allowed to be opened until mid
