HAVANA, Jan. 7.-Gen. Ludlow, the mil

has issued the following proclamation to the
citizens:
1t is known that large quantities of arms
and ammunition are in store at numerous
places in the city, greatly in excess of any
possible requirements. These accumuations
are the result of the conditions which
have existed for three years, and that the
city is in condition of profound peace and
no member of the community has any re-
quirement for deadly weapons, of the charac-
ter indicated, it is evidence at once of good
faith and patriotism to dispense with their
retention. Actuated by these feelings, many
citizens have for several days past been vol
unfairly turning in these arms, and have re-
quested the United States authorities to re-
ceiye them.
Castle La Punta has been designated as an
arilory for their deposit, and receipts are
given for the weapons turned in
