UNIQUE WEAPONS OF WAR
Wooden Cannon Have Been Used
With Success In Modern Times by
West Indian Revolutionists.

Any one familiar with the construc-
ton of modern weapons of warfare
and the high explosives used in them
would naturally suppose cannon
made OF wood would be of little or no
value as weapon.
Wooden cannons have been used
with considerable success, neverthe-
less, in recent revolutions in Cuba,
Haiti and in the Dominican republic.
The wood used in the construction
of these crude weapons 10 a very
tough variety, having twisted grain
that curls about the log in such way
that to split the timber with the or
binary means is almost impossible.
The best trees are selected, and a
piece of the log five or six feet in
length and about one foot in diameter
is cut. After the bark has been re-
moved and the log made round, 1t Is
swung up on crude truss and a hole
is burned into 1t from one end. The
log is wound with strips Of rawhide
cut from the skin Of a steer. When
the cannon is covered with the strips
of hide, another layer is wound on,
and this is continued until the weapon
has increased several inches in diam
eter.
After the log is covered and the
bore Is finished the weapon is treated
TO a hot draft, which tends to con-
tract the hide binding and which be-
comes almost as strong as wire.
These crude cannons have been
used with success In a number of in
stances, and it is astonishing the num-

Toxic, April 19.-The, situation
brought about by the California alien
land-holding bill is becoming increas-
ingly serious. A mass meeting today
demanded the most extreme measures
of retaliation by Japan. The singing
of war songs aroused the feelings of
many of the lower classes who were
present.

the seizure of the Philippines and
Hawaii, and at the same time de.

Washington. d. c., April 19.-Presi-

and California, over the proposed alien
land legislation. He read with inter
est the dispatch from Toxic describing
popular feeling against the bill and
studied the text of the pending meas
ure as we'll as a synopsis of similar
laws in New York and Texas.
The president told his callers that
the federal government, must OF ne
cessity refrain from interference with
California while the process of leg
itlating and could not make its atti-
tude known to inquiring nations until
the bill was passed. He added, how
ever, that II any impression had been
circulated in Japan that the admins
tration here had become Indifferent to
the developments in California, such
view was unjustified, and that judg-
ment as to the measures should be
held until they are finally framed and
rassed In the meantime the presl-
dent said that every effort was being
made to keen in communication infor-
mally with the California legislature.
The attitude of the government Off
cials may be summed up as looking
on the popular outbursts in Toxic as
unwarranted at this time. The federal
government fully intends to give Jap
anese residents every protection and
privilege according TO foreigners I'M
