IMPOSED ON UNCLE SAM.
Suit Instituted Against the briggs
Seabury Gun Company.

New York, March 23-According to
a Washington special to the Tribune, the
American Ammunition company has in
sututed an action against the briggs
Seabury Gun and Ammunition company
Of New Jersey, in which the charge is
made that the ordnance bureau in Au-
gust. 1899. permitted the Driggs-Seab bury
company, private corporation, to use
the Frankfort arsenal, a government in
stitution near Philadelphia. with its
power. machinery and worlSmen. for the
purpose of manufacturing guns and am
munition for the Colombian government.
The brief filed by the lawyers contained
a copy Of the following letter.
War Department, Washington,
September /, 1899.
'@Driggs-Seabury company:
Gentlemen am informed that you
have delivered 2 900 shells to the Colon
bian government and are manufac turing
another order of 1000 for that govern
ment. You are now in default of 1000
shells to be delivered to the war depart
ment by August IT, 1898, and these have
not yet been produced 1 am informed
that to facilitate matters and to help
you out you were given the use of the
Frankfort arsenal, which is exclusively
government property 4 am further in
formed that you used the arsenal, know
ing it to be government property, for the
purpose of making these shells for for
eign government You had no right to
do this. You obtained a further con-
tract in July, 1883. want you to de-
before Saturday next, giving your rea-
sons for your actions.
''ELIHC POOT,
Secretary of War"
The lawyers brief further alleges that
Gen. A. r. Burlington, chief of the ord
nance bureau has asserted in a state
ment on file in the war department, that
he granted the use OF the Frankfort
arsenal to the Driggs-Seabury company
for the purpose named, and it is de-
manded that the comptroller of the
treasury Immediately stop all payments
to the briggs Seabury company until
the charges have been investigated 1t
is also held that the company by this
alleged action is under a penalty to the
government to the amount of 100000.
Little information could be obtained
at the war department regarding these
allegations. Secretary Root was not ac-
cessible to newspaper men, and Gen
eral Burlington denies himself to all re-
pOrters. His assistants united in declar-
ing that there was nothing in the mat
ter. Major ". McNally. assistant chief
Of ordnance, said last night that an at
tempt was being made to make a noun
tain out Of a mole hill
William G. Wilson, president of the
gs-Seabury company, said here last
night: This is the first I have heard of
the story. If any such accusation has
been made it is not based on facts We
have no time or inclination~to take nart
in any controversy with a rival COM
pany."

TO REDUCE THE ARMY.

About 10000 Regulars viii Be Re
leased From Luzon This Year.
New York March % "A special to the
Press from Washington says:
Advices from the Philippines are so
encouraging for peace that the war de-
parsnent is considering the advisability
of reducing the garrisons in the arCti-
pelago. The reorganized army Will be
recruited to the full strength of 100 zoo
men, but it is believed that future re-
quirements viii not compel the admins
tration to maintain this maximum.
About 10000 regulars viii be entitled
to their discharge in the current year. II
is proposed to let these soldiers return to
their homes and to not fill their places.
Thus the army can be reduced to 10000
men in a perfectly natural way without
interfering with its discipline or efrec-
tiyeness.
