power guns of the coast defense type to
carry out the plans for the completion of
the coast defense scheme in the United
States and insular possessions. AS the
army ordnance bureau is not able to sup
ply the guns, owing to lack of time and ap-
preparations. it has fallen upon the navy to
undertake the coast defense at Alongapo In
the Philippines and Guantanamo naval sta
ton In Cuba, both important points.
naval gun and mount are not particu-
larry we'll adapted for use in fortifications,
but the naval officers have contrived to
mount the guns of this type to make
them very effective weapons of defense, at
least until they can be replaced by the
highly developed disappearing guns. AS the
latest type 5O-caliber high-power smokeless

Increased Cost of Remounts.
Gen. \. w. Greely, who during the past
year commanded the northern division of
the army, says in his annual report that
the army have gradually dateriorated in
quality, but have steadily increased in price
and that the question of the remount sup
plies for cavalry and field artillery will
soon become source of embarrassment
to the service. He says that during the
past year cavalry horses furnished his d.
vision have varied in price from S125 to
Sl14 while twelve years ago horses of equal
or superior grade could be purchased at
prices ranging from $40 to S11O.

PACKAGE TO CORTELYOU
A PACKAGE ADDRESSED TO SEC
RETARY OF TREASURY
EXPLODES.

PHILADELPHIA: The explosion
of what appears to have been a large
percussion cap In a package address
ed Secretary of the Treasury George
b. Cortelyou, created sensational
scenes in the Niectown substation of
the Philadelphia postoffice Tuesday.
The package, which was collected
from box in the city, was received
by Clerk Roberts, who says it was
about four inches long by two inches
wide and three fourths of an inch
thick
When Roberts brought his steel
cancellation die down upon the stamp
the package exploded and was torn to
pieces. Roberts was unhurt.
The pieces of paper were put to-
gether and the package was found
to have been addressed to Secretary
Cortelyou, Washington, D. c., the adj
dress having been cut from a news
paper and pasted on.
Chief Postal Inspector James b.
Cortelyou, brother of the secretary,
is trying to solve the mystery sur
rounding the explosion, though most
of the authorities think the package
was mailed as a joke as there was
scarcely explosive matter enough in
1t to have done injury to any one.
What was in the package aside
from the explosive the officials will
not say.
