HOW LADRoNEs GET ARMS.
Report Of Col. Russell, Chief Ordnance
Officer in the Visayas.

According to Colonel A. H. Russell, chief
ordnance officer of the Department of the
Visayas, p. l.. the ladrones IN that province
have at all times considerable supply Of
ammunition for the United States magazine
rifle and carbine, which they probably OBJ
tain from enlisted men who fail to properly
guard their ammunition from theft or loss,
''even II they do not" says Colonel Russell.
deliberately dispose of It," He says that
orders are strict to prevent fired shells from
falling into the hands of natives but he re-
CARDS 1t as more important to care for the
cartridge itself. The suggestion Is made
that commanding officers OF organisations be
required to make more careful check Of the
number of cartridges of every kind in the
hands OF their commands, and that every
man who cannot satisfactorily account for
all his cartridges be punished in addition
to having the value of the missing cart
ridges charged to him. Attention has been
drawn by the police to the danger of allow
ing natives. newsboys, ETC., not regularly
employed, to enter Offices and barracks
were cartridges and even arms may some
times be picked up, watchfulness being nat
urally lax in such cases unless special at
tention Is called to the need of it.

NEW SPRINGFIELD RIFLE.
Will Replace the Krag-Jorgensen Now
in Use by the Army.

General Crozier. chief of ordnance. has
made arrangements for procuring a full
supply Of the new pattern N-inch rifle Tor
the regular army and state militia as rap
idly as the funds at his disposal for the
purpose will permit. The new arm has
been adopted by the Secretary Of War for
the United States service on the strong
recommendation Of General Crozier and
other ordnance experts. 1t has success
fully met all the service requirements al
ter series Of practical tests under all the
usual field conditions.
The new weapon will be known as the
Springfield magazine rifle, model OF 1903.
and will gradually replace the Krag-Jor-
gensen rifle now used by the regular troops
and the older Springfield rifle with which
the majority of the militiamen are armed.
AS has been stated, the rifle Is equally
adapted for infantry and cavalry. and 1t Is
believed will prove especially effective In
the Philippines on account of the shortness
of the barrel facilitating its use in opera
lions in forests and underground. The su-
perior merits of the new piece over the
present service arm have been fully demon
started during the recent tests.
In accordance with the decision OF the

ARMY ATHLETIC SPORTS.
Order Issued by Gen. Baldwin Prescri
ing Field Day Exercises.

Brigadier General Baldwin, commanding
the Department Of the Colorado, has issued
general order prescribing certain indi-
vidual and team contests for field day ex-
ercises in that department, including the
standard contests usual at various colleges.
ut is desired" says Gen. Baldwin. ''to
impress on the minds Of all officers and en-
listed men that these athletic exercises.
held monthly throughout the army, are not
only a means Of affording amusement and
entertainment, but also a military duty.
One OF the most important features Of a
soldiers training is the development Of his
physique, and thereby of his physical en-
durance. These athletic exercises are the
best means to gain this feature of the SOL
dier's training, and should not be consid-
cred so much an amusement as a military
duty. Post commanders will afford every
facility and encouragement to further this
feature OF military education, and will
grant such privileges to meritorious con-
testants as they may deem best for the
interests Of the service

War Department, General Crozier has given
instructions for the immediate manufacture
Of the new gun at the government arsenals
at Springfield. Mass. and at Rock Island.
ILL.,, to the full extent possible under avail
able appropriations. The joint capacity of
these two arsenals is $50 rifles a day, but
the funds on hand will not justify the
manufacture Of more than about $50 rifles
a day. The output at that rate will be
sufficient to arm all the regular troops
within years time, if such speed Is nec-
essary. and the issue to the National Guard
Of the states can be completed within the
succeeding three or four years. All the
gauges and fixtures will be manufactured
at the Springfield armory, and such as are
required will be forwarded to the. Rock
Island plant The capacity of the Spring
rifles is nearly double that of the plant at
Rock Island.

though evidently in great tremor OF
haste and impatience, while Loretta combed
her hair and put it up in the old way.
But the old way was not as becoming as
usual and Loretta was wondering II she
ought to call in Miss Tuttle. when Mrs.
jeffrey jumped to her feet and went over
to the table and began to eat with the rev.
erish haste of one who forces himself to
take food in spite of hurry and hstaste.
This was the moment for Loretta to leave
the room; but she did not know how to do
SO. She felt herself fixed to the spot and
stood watching Mrs jeffrey till that lady,
suddenly becoming conscious of the girls
presence. turned, and in the midst of the
means which broke unconsciously from her
lips said with a pftiable effort at her old
manner:
i'll for two days. 1 don't like people to
look at me like that" Then, as the girl
shrank back, added in a breaking voice:
When Mr.. jeffrey comes home" and
said no more for several minutes. during
which she clutched her throat with both
hands and struggled with herself till she
got her voice back and found herself able
to repeat: when Mr.. jeffrey comes,If
he does come,-tell him that l was right
about the way that novel ended Remem-
Der that you are to say to him the mo-
ment you see him that was right about
the novel. and that he is to look and see if
1t did not end as / said it would. And
Loretta" here she rose and approached
the speaker with a sweet, appealing look
which brought tears to the impressionable
girls eyes. don't go gossiping about me
downstairs. / sha'n't be sick long. I am
going to be better soon. very soon. By
the time you see me here again I shall be
quite like my old self. Forget how-how''-
and Loretta said she seemed to have DIFF
ficulty in finding the right word here
how childish have been.'
