MOUNTAIN GUNS FOR OTIS.
A Battery of IL Rapid-Fire Instruments
of the Latest Pattern Shipped from
London to Manila.

London, Oct. 28.-Col. Sumner. mill
tary attache of the American embassy
here, has just purchased and shipped
to Gen. Otis, in the Philippines, a bat
terry of II of the latest pattern of Nord-
feldt Maxim rapid-fire guns. These
pieces are the first of this style of gun
that have been purchased for the Amer
lean army. They are especially adapt
ed for mountain fighting or thanking
movements. Each gun fires three
inch shell or shrapnel, with an accu-
rate range of 1000 yards. This rela-
lively short range is quite equaled by
our present field pieces, but where the
latter, with their caissons, require 12
horses, the new gun can be easily car
ried on the backs of three mules-one
each for the gun, carriage and ammu-
milton

MORE MULES ARE NEEDED.
Our Soldiers Have Been Handicapped in
Their Operations About Manila for
Want of Pack Animals.

Washington, Oct. 8.-What is needed
in the Philippines to-day is more mules.
An army pack mule can carry only $50
pounds. A soldiers rations in the
field weigh, including their packing,
between 81 and pounds a day. Call
ing it 81 pounds, one mule can carry
only one days rations for 40 men. For
force of 10000 men 1000 mules will
be necessary to transport a single days
rations, or for a period of ten days TO-
900 mules would be necessary. In
large part of the district in which the
fighting would be done, if the troops
got away from the railroad, the roads
would be of no use for heavy supply
trains and everything practically would
have to be done by packing. This ex-
plains why the American army in the
island of Luzon has been confined in
its operations to territory close to a
railroad. It seems that both parties
to the war in Luzon have found it nee
essary to hug the railroad country, at
a serious disadvantage to themselves.

WILL NOT DEFEND TITLE.
a Government Patent to Land by No Means
Warranty Deed-Suits Against
Settlers.

Minneapolis, Mimi. Oct. 98.-A spe-
cial from Fergus Falls, Mimi, says:
In view Of the cases which the North
ern Pacific is bringing against a large
number of the settlers in this vicinity,
G. f. Hanson has written the secretary
of the interior to find out if there was
any possibility of the government de-
Tending it's patents. The reply indi-
Gates that a government patent is by
no means a warranty deed. The acting
secretary, Thomas Ryan, writes as fol-
lows:
You are advised that the government has no
interest whatsoever in the controversies, pat
ents having been issued for the lands, and it
would be utterly impossible for the government
to defend the title conferred by it in every in
stance where it is attacked. The title conferred
by the government is not warranted and the
patentee has no better title than the govern
ment itself may have at the time it patents the
land.

against England, and the Paris Eclair's
statement that Germany promised to
enter into the plan attributed to
France and Russia, but later withdrew
from the combination, is evidently I'M
true. Won, Buelow, upon entering the
ministry, established the guiding prin-
ciple that the proximity of German and
English colonies and England's naval
supremacy rendered a good under
standing imperative.

Become the Head of the Family.

New York, Oct. Ex-senator Depew
last night gave out statement of the
terms of the will of the late Cornelius
Vanderbilt. It shows that the fortune
is estimated at $40, 600, 900. Alfred
Gwynn Vanderbilt will get about $780,
900, 900. He thus becomes the head of
the family. The will gives Cornelius
Vanderbilt about $1,000. OOO 1t gives
to each of his remaining brothers and
sisters about S.. 500, 900, Alfred, of
course, not included. Out of the spirit
of affection and for the purpose of sat
isfying all of the members of the fam
lily, Alfred Gwynn Vanderbilt gives his
brother Cornelius enough of his inner
itance to make his fortune equal to
that of the other embers, namely
$1,000, 900. Senator Depew says that
Cornelius Vanderbilt has accepted this
arrangement in the spirit in which it
was offered.
